Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Exhaust manifold. i had to call nissan hq back both times just to get and answer that yes it is covered and no they can't fix it. i am completely over nissans faulty workmanship. i took my x in to have the 60k maint done and they had the nerve to tell me about my brakes, but didn't tell me anything about the cracked manifold. they even told me that they saw it but didn't think it was anything to be concerned about. if it wasn't from the dealer charging me for overfilling my trans fluid and not tightening a trans hose fitting, i would had drove the thing until the next time to change the oil and not know anything about the crack in the manifold or ran the transmission dry. now they are telling me that it is my fault for not keeping an eye on it. i asked the lady at hq's, if i had taken my x in with 60k miles on it and they had found the crack would it be covered under the warranty? she told me no then went on to tell me that i would have to bring it in on 59999k and it would had been. i had taken it in prior to the 60k to which the dealer did nothing or noted nothing. then after finding the trans fluid leak i took it back in which was about 3 days later. when i took it back in it was over the 60k. now after the dealer quoted me 4 different prices ranging from 300-1500 dollars on repairing the exact same thing (exhaust manifold). i am paying more for gas due to the low mileage from the cracked/faulty manifold. i constantly smell exhaust during traveling(stops). at times it is to the point that i must keep the windows open. *nm
