| Description of the problem | my exhaust manifold is leaking just as many other titan owners have experienced. I did not notice a noise on mine until i went in to a muffler shop to get a price on getting a dual exhaust installed and they showed me that it was cracked. As a result, i do not know when the problem began, but i can hear it constantly now. I have since, done extensive research over the internet and have found that hundreds of titan owners are experiencing the same problem. It doesn't seem to matter how old or new the titan is, owners are reporting the same issue over and over again. Some are still under warranty, so they are getting a free repair, but if it is an ongoing issue, why hasn't a recall already been issued? I have been told by many muffler shop tech's that the "cast" that nissan used was a bad "cast" and they have since fixed it. If the aftermarket muffler tech knows, than nissan certainly should... Or else they should be made aware of it by a recall being issued. Thank you. |
