2008 NISSAN TITAN Engine Problems

The exhaust manifolds on the driver and passenger side are cracked. Ticking sounds are made while car is cold and goes away after they have heated up enough, typically after 5 minutes. This results in letting in exhaust fumes inside the cabin, regardless of the air conditioner/heater is on, which leads to being lightheaded and nearly passing out and crashing. The fumes are stronger when stationary but happens no matter what, even after the ticking is gone and driving down the highway.

The exaust manifolds cracked and is letting fumes into the cabin. I bought the truck about 2 weeks ago from a private dealer. The cracked manifolds began to leak a few days ago and I truthfully believe it should be covered by Nissan

I’ve done replaced the wheel hub assembly and break and rotors etc. My truck still acts like it’s trying to lock up . It’s jerking and takes a min to break
