Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I noticed there was an exhaust smell seeping into the van, i did some research on the internet and found that it was a common problem with quest's and villager's snapped exhaust manifold studs. i checked under the hood and sure enough there were 2 studs broken and missing. i called several dealers and got quotes and found a nissan dealer to do it for $800 they seem to have more experince doing it since it also is a problem with pathfinders and maximas. i called ford and they flat out refused to help out at all!
