PASSENGAR EXHUAST MANIFOLD CRACKED. BEING REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON 10-25% OF XTERRA'S AND HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. CAN POSSIBLY LEAD TO EXHAUST ENTERING THE CABIN IF NOT DETECTED. THIS IS A VARIANT OF THE ENGINE THAT WAS USED IN OLDER PATHFINDER MODELS THAT SUFFERED FROM THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND AT A MINIMUM ADVISE THE PUBLIC ON IT SO THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF POSSIBLE EXHAUST ENTERING THE CABIN.

AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO NISSAN FOR NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED IN THE MIDDLE OF FIXING THEM. THERE HAS BEEN A NOISE THAT THEY CLAIMED FIRST WAS THE KNOCK SENSOR, THEY REPLACED THAT, AND NOW THEY BELIEVE IT IS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HOWEVER IF IT IS JUST THE GASKETS THEY WANT $400.00 TO REPLACE OR IF IT IS CRACKED WHICH THEY CAN'T TELL ME FOR SURE IT'S COVERED UNDER THE 60,000 WARRANTY. THE MOST UPSETTING THING IS THIS PROBLEM EXISTED BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRATION AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED IT. *NLM
