While on interstate hwy the engine "slung a rod" through the oil pan at 65 miles per hour. This resulted in a hazardous loss of power and a small fire in the engine compartment. Nissan refuses to honor extended warrenty or return calls or respond to written complaints.
While driving to a traffic light, slowed down, applied brakes and the brakes locked up. Frontal impact occurred when vehicle skidded. Dealer and manufacturer contacted, adjuster quoted $8800 in damage, one injury.
No deployment of the driver's side air bag during front end collision, with extensive damage to vehicle, resulting in injury to consumer.
Fuel lines to fuel injectors deteriorate, leak raw gasoline onto motor, strong gas odor in passenger compartment. Very expensive to fix, very difficult to access for dyers - not covered in repair manuals 'how-to'.
