#709293July 27, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND BROKEN MANIFOLD STUDS CAUSED NOISE AND OCCASIONAL EXHAUST SMELL IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT (WHEN ON FRESH AIR VENT). BROKEN MANIFOLD STUDS ARE A KNOWN DEFECT WITH A TSB IN EFFECT (OVER 10% OF ALL COMPLAINTS REGISTERED IN THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINT DATABASE RELATE TO THIS ISSUE). ONLY BECAUSE I HAD PURCHASED A NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOUR YEARS AGO WAS MOST OF THE REPAIR COST COVERED, HOWEVER, I WAS STILL REQUIRED TO PAY THE DEDUCTABLE. I DON'T FEEL ANY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE SHOULD BE INCURRED FOR AN OBVIOUSLY PREVALANT DEFECT OR ENGINEERING DESIGN FLAW.
