| Description of the problem | 2006 nissan titan se king cab 4x4 offroad bigtow. The exhaust manifolds on my titan cracked and 3 separate nissan dealerships in southern california wouldn't acknowledge the issue and repair under warranty. The service managers would claim that they did not or could not find the problem. These parts are covered under the 8 yr/80,000 mile long-term emission system defects warranty and my truck currently has 69,xxx miles. The 3 visits to the different dealerships span from when i got the truck in 2009 to 2011. On my own dime, i had a shop replace the exhaust manifolds and they confirmed both were cracked. I have them sitting in my garage for further proof. I'm considering making a claim w/ nissan hq but i know it'll be in vain. There are several reports of cracked manifolds online. Maybe this warrants a recall or nissan can press their dealers to handle this in a more professional manner. |
