- Safer Car.Gov USA Website For Filing Complaints - one searched found 88 complaints. i read somewhere nissan was saying not enough complaints on this issue were known so we need to file our complaints in one place and get nissan to issue a recall. my mechanic said it was an odd new design for this gasket. the bolts were tensioned or stretched when turned so that they were stressed and obviously going to fail after use.

Avoid Nissan after 2000. They don't make them like they did in the 90's. This car should have gone straight to the junkyard after leaving the assembly line. I have no remorse seeing this thing get crushed hopefully into something better the next time around. Disappointing.
