TWO CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. AT TIMES I AN GETTING EXHAUST FUMES INTO DRIVERS COMPARTMENT. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A WIDE PROBLEM WITH NISSAN 5.6 L V-8S AND A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE TITANS. MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER EST. REPAIR AT $3,507.50 AND HE TOLD ME THE IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR BOTH TO FAIL AT THE SAME TIME. NISSAN CUSTOMER SUPPORT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I STARTED HAVE PROBLEM AT 100.000 MILE I AM AT 124.000 NOW. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE MADE INTO A RECALL. MY TRUCK LOOKS LIKE NEW FROM THE OUTSIDE.

I HAD THE DEALER INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAD CRACKED. THEY SAID THERE WAS A PREVIOUS NOTICE FROM NISSAN AND THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED AND THE DEALER DID NOT CONTACT ME. NOW THEY SAID TOO MUCH TIME HAD ELAPSED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS FREE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN DEFECT SINCE NISSAN HAD THEM REPLACED ON SOME VEHICLES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE CRACKED MANIFOLDS CAN CAUSE A CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK OR SET A FIRE WHILE DRIVING FAST. THE COST TO REPAIR IS NEAR $1000 FOR THE PARTS PLUS LABOR TO INSTALL. THERE MUST BE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAD THIS SAFETY PROBLEM SO THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FORCE NISSAN TO FIX ALL THE VEHICLES. MINE HAS ONLY 86000 EASY MILES ON IT. *TR
