| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In dec of 1999 an exhaust leak started. costs $650 to repair since manifolds warp and break bolts off in engine block. the bolts then have to be bored out and the holes in the engine have to be retapped for threads. he said it was surprizing that both sides weren't bad because pathfinders where "known" for this failure and he said that even though it looked look at that time, i should expect it to fail anyway someday because they all do. about 1-year later, that other manifold did fail in the exact same way and it cost me $600+ at another shop to get that one replaced and retapped after drilling out broken bolts. the mechanic at that shop said that he was surprised both sides weren't bad since all pathfinders have this same problem and i explained that it had already been replaced. why isn't nissan being held responsible for this???*ak |
