Consumer Description

THE EXHAUST "RESONATORS" ON MY 2002 PATHFINDER BEGAN TO LEAK AT A WELDED SEAM AT ABOUT 28,000 MILES. THE NISSAN DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST PIPES AND INSISTED ON INSTALLING A PATCH KIT. THIS KIT ONLY LASTS APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES AND THEY BEGIN TO LEAK AGAIN. THIS REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED 4 TIMES THUS FAR AND IT IS LEAKING AGAIN. TRUCK NOW HAS 103,000 MILES. NISSAN NOW REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE PATCH. MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON SO I SUSPECT THIS IS TIED TO THE EXHAUST LEAK. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT ALLOWS EXHAUST GASES TO COME FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND ENTER THE CABIN WHEN SITTING IDLE. BASED ON LOCAL DEALERS OWN ADMISSIONS, THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. *TR
