Consumer Description

ON 6/11/05 THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET FAILED AS EVIDENCED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNING ON AND DIAGNOSIS BY A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE FAILURE HAD NO CONSEQUENCES AS I HAD THE GASKET REPLACED IMMEDIATELY; HOWEVER, THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED AS OF 12/27/07 AND NISSAN CORPORATION IS NOT WILLING TO HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM. AT THIS POINT, I HAVE DECIDED TO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE CONDITION DETERIORATES MUCH FURTHER. FROM I AM TOLD THIS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL, WHICH IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I CAN BE REAR ENDED IN THE EVENT IT DOES. *TR
