#701602December 26, 1998
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
GAS PEDAL STUCK WHILE DRIVING AT THIRTY FIVE MPH. I HAD TO PULL THE PEDAL UP WITH MY RIGHT FOOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE CABLE GOING FROM THE GAS PEDAL TO THE THROTTLE WAS WEARING AWAY EVERYTIME I ACCELERATED. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I FEEL THIS IS MORE OF A SAFETY HAZARD, THAN A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. THE VEHICLE HAS LOW MILEAGE AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICING DEALERSHIP WAS NOT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AT. THE SERVICING DEALER WAS REED NISSAN (ORLANDO FL) ALTHOUGH I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE THEY PROVIDE.

#700178October 28, 1998
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
A GASKET ON MY ENGINE STARTED LEAKING AT AROUND 64000 MILES. I DID NOT REALIZE THAT IT WAS A GASKET UNTIL ABOUT 72000 MILES WHEN I REPORTED IT TO NISSAN. SINCE THE CAR WAS NO LONGER ON WARRANTY NISSAN DIDNT WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE LEAK IS ON A SECTION OF THE MOTOR THAT IS BETWEEN THE BLOCK AND THE OIL PAN. NISSAN USED SILICONE VTR TO SEAL THESE TWO PARTS. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE USED A STANDARD PAPER TYPE GASKET. THIS GASKET SHOULD NOT HAVE STARTED LEAKING AT THIS MILEAGE. A NISSAN MAECHANIC THAT I SPOKE TO AT GROSSMANS NISSAN IN OLD SAYBROOK, CT TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A TYPICAL PROBLEM ON THIS MOTOR AND HAS SEEN THE PROBLEM QUITE A FEW TIMES ON ALTIMAS. THIS OIL LEAKAGE COULD BE VERY HAZORDOUS IF IT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SEIZE UP ON THE HIGHWAY.
