The exhaust pipe underneath the passenger's seat burned a hole at the bottom of the vehicle, which caused a fire. Cause unknown. Please provide details.

August 1998 Fire

Exhuast manifold studs keep breaking causing leakage, fumes, and noise. Has happened 3 times in 45k miles at $500 to $1200 per incident. Have filed complaint with nissan consumer affairs (incident 4259794). Nissan declined to assist because they said vechicle was beyond useful service life. Even if that were true, the repairs I'm paying them for over and over should have a useful service life. I've been told by several dealers that this will continue to happen. Common nissan, fix this problem once and for all.
