Consumer Description

RIGHT SIDE OF EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKING. TWO STUDS BROKEN OFF. CHECKED RIGHT SIDE AND FOUND ONE BROKEN STUD, NOT LEAKING YET. I TALKED WITH TWO DEALERS, A PARTS DISTRIBUTOR, AND A OWNER OF A 1989 PATHFINDER (SAME ENGINE) AND THEY ALL CONFIRMED THAT THIS WAS A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. I HAD THE EXHAUSET GASKETS AND STUDS REPLACED ON BOTH SIDES. ($ 856.75) THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE EXHAUST STUDS SHOULD BE FAILING AT ONLY 70,000+ MILES. THE SERVICE WRITER INFORMED ME THAT THEY REPLACED THE STUDS WITH "NEW & IMPROVED" STUDS. THIS WOULD INDICATE TO ME THAT THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WAS FAULTY. NEITHER DEALER CONTACTED MENTIONED ANY FACTORY ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THIS ITEM ((FC0009202)
