CONSUMER STATED THAT VEHICLE HAS A HUGE OIL LEAK THAT IS CAUSED BY SOME TYPE OF RING THAT IS MADE OF METAL WITH RUBBER INSIDE OF THE RIGHT, LATER ON THE RUBBER PIECE SEPARATES FROM THE METAL RING AND OIL GOES EVERYWHERE. *TT

THE DEFECT DATABASE IS FULL OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE SEAL BETWEEN THE TIMING COVER AND THE BLOCK. A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN EXISTS (NNTB95058A ), YET WHY ARE DROVES OF NISSAN OWNERS STILL PAYING $500.00 TO HAVE THIS POORLY ENGINEERED PART REPLACED? MY MECHANIC STATED THAT HE HAS REPLACED MANY OF THESE SEALS. WHEN IS THERE GOING TO BE A RECALL ISSUED? WHAT DOES IT TAKE? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. *AK

WHILE SITTING IN VEHICLE, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND FOOT ON THE BRAKE, CONSUMER STATES THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVS AT A VERY HIGH RPM, BEFORE CONSUMERS FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO NEUTRAL AND THAT STOPS THE ENGINE FROM REVVING.*JB

OIL LEAKED FROM ENGINE AFTER OWNING VEHICLE 6 DAYS, ALMOST 700.00 TO REPAIR NOW THE OIL IS LEAKING AGAIN. I HAD PUT ONLY 400 MILES ON THE CAR WHEN IT BROKE DOWN. THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A BREAK ON FIXING IT, BUT NOW IT IS LEAKING AGAIN. ACCORDING TO THEIR REPAIR RECORD 3 SEALS WERE REPLACED AND A BELT. I FELT SURE THIS MUST BE SOME DEFECT BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ANY INFORMATION. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN THIS FRIDAY 7/20. BECAUSE 2000 MILES AFTER THEIR REPAIRS I CHECKED THE OIL AND AGAIN NOTHING SHOWED ON THE DIP STICK. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE, I UNDERSTAND I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE "AS IS". BUT THIS IS BECOMING VERY COSTLY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, LESIA TURNER. *AK

I STOPPED MY CAR AT THE BASE OF MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER ON PARK TO CHECK MY MAILBOX. I LEFT THE CAR RUNNING WHILE I DID THAT. AS I GLANCED AT MY MAIL, THE CAR SLOWLY ROLLED UP MY DRIVEWAY (NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR, AND THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER REMAINED IN PARK) AND CRASHED INTO A LARGE TREE ABOUT 40 FEET BEYOND MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER PULLED MY CAR BACK ONTO THE DRIVEWAY, HE SAID THAT THE SHIFT LEVER WAS STILL IN PARK. I SUSPECT THAT MY CAR WAS A "VICTIM" OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 94V165000.*AK

MY BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS SCREECHED, THE DOME LIGHT NEVER WORKED, THE SENSOR FOR ENGINE CHECK LIGHT HAD TO BE REPLACED, LEAK FROM OIL PAN DEFECTIVE SEAL, THE STARTER HAD TO BE REPLACED, WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THERE WERE ALWAYS EXCUSES FOR THE MALFUNCTION WE HAD TO PAY FOR MOST OF THE REPLACEMENTS ALWAYS OVER 500 DOLLARS PER VISIT.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE SENSOR AND AIRBAG HAD TO BE REPLACED. AND THE COST WOULD BE $750.00, THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THEREFORE THE AIRBAG SHOULD FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES.
