Consumer Description

I REPLACED THE MUFFLER AND GASKET ON MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2012 THE POOR QUALITY OF THE MATERIALS THAT NISSAN USED FOR THE FLANGE BECAME BRITTLE AND CRACKED, COMPROMISING THE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL INTEGRITY OF THE MUFFLER AT APPROXIMATELY 62,600 MILES. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND TAKE IMPECCABLE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AND ALL MY VEHICLES. IF THIS SAFETY/EXHAUST/EMISSION PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED, IT MAY HAVE CAUSED INJURY (MINOR, MAJOR, AND MAYBE FATAL) TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE VERSA AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS/PASSENGERS OF OTHER VEHICLES. THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR WITH LOW TO MODERATE MILEAGE OR ANY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR OF CAR SINCE MUFFLERS AND ASSOCIATED PARTS HAVE LONG BEEN PERFECTED. *TR
