Description of the problem	5 yrs ago the sound of my engine changed and upon inspection the welding on the exhaust manifold was cracked. I was informed by pembroke pines nissan that since car is at 38,500 miles and out of warranty despite it being a manufacture failure it would set me back $975. I didn't have the repair done. For the past 3 yrs, my passenger airbag light will turn off and on even irregardless if someone is in the seat or not. Furthermore, the radio will go blank or have illegible characters on it. I too have the melting dash issue as well as a couple of times i slipped and my finger nail has gouged out pieces of dash board. It's amazing that lexus has issued a recall on their melting dash board on the is250 & is350 issues but nissan could care less about its brand or reputation; i guess that's what happens when the company isn't whole japanese owned.
