1993 NISSAN QUEST Visibility Problems

AS HAS HAPPENED TO CLOSE TO 100% OF QUEST/MERCURY VILLAGER OWNERS, I HAVE CRACKED MANIFOLDS, MISSING MANIFOLD STUDS, AND SEVERAL BROKEN MANIFOLD STUDS. THIS RESULTS IN POOR STARTS, EXHAUST LEAKS, AND A NOTICEABLE "CLACKING" (EXHAUST LEAK) UPON ACCELERATION. MY VEHICLE HAS 118K MILES. I UNDERSTAND THE LABOR FOR A COMPLETE FIX CAN RUN OVER $1000, WHILE PARTS RUN UNDER $100. I HAVE CONTACTED 1-800-NISSAN1 WITH THIS ISSUE AND THE OPERATOR WAS AWARE OF THIS VERY COMMON, SERIOUS PROBLEM AND AFFIRMED THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WITH ANY POSSIBLE COMPENSATION.

Mileage: 118,000

BRAKE LIGHTS: THE ELECTRICAL WIRING IS TOO SHORT. MUST BE FIXED AT LEAST 4-5 TIMES PER WEEK OTHERWISE, WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED, BRAKE LIGHT DOESN'T LIGHT UP. SEATS: RATTLE & MOVE EVEN WHEN ENGAGED. WINDSHIELD WASHER MOTOR: DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. MAYBE ONCE EVERY 4-5 MONTHS (IF I'M LUCKY), THEREFORE, HAVE TO POUR WATER ON WINDSHIELD ON MY OWN.
