| Description of the problem | I noticed an exhaust leak on my truck. Took it to a reputable exhaust shop, they told me their was a crack in the converter and i needed to take it to the dealership. After checking the web i realized it was under warranty (80000 on exhaust emissions) my truck only had 65k. They replaced both manifolds as they were both cracked. This repair would have cost me 2500. 00! After seeing this was a common problem with the titan trucks, i think this should be addressed. Also the dealership told me i had a front differential leak which was the pinion seal, this repair will cost me 300-500. 00. Of course its not covered under warranty so i will have to pay this. After seeing this is also a common problem, i feel nissan needs to correct this issue as it is a safety problem for both me and fellow motorist. My truck has 65,000 miles and is babied! Total repairs would be around 3000. 00 for the manifolds and the differential, i feel something needs to be done as this is an ongoing issue. |
