Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN (AS HAS MY REGULAR MECHANIC FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS) REGARDING CHRONIC & PERVASIVE EMISSIONS PROBLEMS WITH MY SUV. MY VEHICLE IS REGISTERED WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AS CASE #5283891. AFTER THE LATEST REJECT STICKER DUE TO EMISSIONS SAFETY, A DIFFERENT MECHANIC BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN CLASSIFICATION FE98-001A/REFERENCE NTB98-062A ADDRESSING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THREE MECHANICS (INCLUDING A NISSAN DEALER) VERIFIED THAT THIS WAS THE LATEST PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH I WAS SEVERAL WEEKS PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD, I WAS WAY UNDER THE MILEAGE LIMIT & THE MECHANIC FELT I SHOULD PUSH THE ISSUE WITH NISSAN, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE REPEATED PROBLEMS. NISSAN WOULD NOT HONOR IT SO I PAID FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF. WHEN I DID, THE MECHANIC SAID THIS WAS MOST LIKELY A RECALL & ADVISED ME TO GO BACK TO NISSAN & PUSH. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION FROM NISSAN ABOUT EXTENDED WARRANTIES OR RECALLS. I FOUND THIS ADDRESS ON THE WEB & THOUGHT I SHOULD SHARE THIS WITH YOU. I AM ADDITIONALLY LOOKING FOR OTHER CONSUMER AGENCIES TO HELP PURSUE THIS WITH NISSAN. *NM
