| Description of the problem | A recent 15k mile service interval reveals that i have 2 motor mounts which are the fluid type are leaking badly and need to be replaced. I feel this may be safety related as it should be considered a major vehicle component. Many blogs reveal numerous motor mount issues on several nissan models that use these fluid type mounts. I find this very unusual since i only had 47,500 miles on the vehicle when i had this service done in june 08. One of the service advisors i talked to did indicate he has seen many failures of these motor mounts as well as the crank case sensor which nissan did replace at no charge but refuses to replace the motor mounts. I would like your input as to whether this may be viewed as a safety issue and also if you have received prior inquiries into this very premature issue. Thank you, jim weeks |
