Oil sending unit failure, causing engine oil leak.*aw
Advised crank angle sensor failed and required full distributor replacement.nissan would not cover any of replacement cost because vehicle has 77800 miles routine service was not nissan dealer.nissan service departments (6 locations) advise this is premature failure of component.
Flywheel failed. *dh
Engine pistons noisy. *dsh
While driving, heard loud knocking noise coming from botton of engine; caused oil to not adequately lubricate engine; four cylnder engine.tt
Defective engine piston rings, causing engine to rattle/noisy.
Dt:the contact stated the lifter valve was making a tapping noise in the engine. The noisewas heardwhen starting the vehicle. The vehicle has not experienced any engine failure at this time.the vehicle has not been taken to the dealership or repaired.
Consumer called complaining about having problems with wire harness routed over the engine nut causing accelaratingchafing which caused a fire on the vehicle. Dealer was contacted and stated the same reason. Also consumer statedthat this has happend twice. Ts
Engine fire. (first vehicle on 601602)
Engine fire. (second vehicle on 503268)
Lifter failed, loss of acceleration, loud tapping in engine. Replaced under warranty
The vehicle nearly stalls,has severe loss of power,and decelerates at random times and at any speed.there is also an occcasional knocking sound coming from the engine.this is a very dangerous driving situation but, is my only means of transportation.the problem occured out of nowhere causing me to believe it is a manufacturer defect.the vehicle was serviced by the dealer before purchase and ran smoothly until this point..
Exhaust manifold studs broke.four (4) studs on each side, securing the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head failed and broke.this allowed exhaust gasses to leak into the engine and passenger compartment.failure noted by dealer when performing other service.
Exhaust manifold leak.
Exhaust manifold leaks at the engine. This is a well known manufacturer's defect with the manifold studs. Some models and model years have been covered by an extended warranty. Although my engine exhaust manifold leaks, nissan refuses to accept responsibility for it. They even refuse to admit that this nissan engine has a well known problem with this issue. Ask anyone that works in a car repair or exhaust repair shop. This is a big problem with all nissan 3.0 l engines, including mine. It is a very expensive, time consuming repair and often needs to be done more than once during ownership.
Within 60,000 miles exhaust manifold studs crack, causing exhaust fumes to escape, and eventually cause damages toengine.
Exhaust manifold bolts break, nissan service bulletin (tsb 940414/94) states improved materials are needed. Cost to repair is nearly $1,000 because the manifolds will have to be replaced due to warpage. Nissan will not cover defect, i'm not sure i can afford it and the cabin fills with exhaust gasses. Nissan claims they have not seen this as a problem and yet they have a service bulletin stting the studs need to be made from improved materials.
I have a 1995 nissan pickup that i just purchased from my sister-in-law, the original owner. It has chonic problems with the brake lights not working. The metal light socket barrel will separate from the plastic socket that holds the lamp in the lens assembly. My nephew who drove the truck on numerous occasions had to reinsert them in order so they would work. This problem i learned was common with this nissan pickup had resulted in a safety recall (#98v-234) campaign by nissan. However i was informed that my pickup did not qualify for this recall due to the vin number not being within the applicable range. Even so my truck has this problem and i feel it should be repaired. The recall should not be limited to certain vin numbers if there are other vehicles exibiting this problem. If nisan will not fix it they could at least provide me with the parts to do it myself.

I was making a slow turn, and heard a loud `thunk'.after the turn, i accelerated slowly, not knowing what had happend, and when above 15 mph., the vehicle shuddered violently, apparently because there was no longer any connection between the front wheels.we tried to make a u-turn just up the road, and the front wheels were pointing in opposite directions!the repair facility which we were towed to said the tie rods became unscrewed, rather than breaking, and they'd never seen that happen before.had we been going at any speed when it happened, the vehicle might easily have flipped over, and we could have been killed.i wrote to nissan in march, when we returned home, but have had no reply to date.

Although this has not lead to an accident yet, the frame on my 1995 nissan pickup truck is rusting so bad it appears to be rotting.

Underside and frame are rusting and causing brake problems, both front and rear chrome bumpers have rusted through and exhaust system hangers rusted through and fell off.nlm
I bought a 95, 4x4 nissan pickup in 2006.i took it to the local nissan dealer, armory nissan in albany, new york for a diagnostic workup.they said everything was alright, so i bought it.2 years later, with only 70 some odd thousand miles on it, i cannot get the vehicle inspected because the frame is so rusted out it is dangerous to drive. ( i took it to my local neighborhood garage) i called nissan consumer affairs and my statement was taken.they told me to go to the nearest nissan dealer and get a diagnostic and send the report to nissan consumer affairs.i had to pay for the diagnostic - $46.00. I had to arrange to have the truck towed from the neighborhood garage to nissan armory.i told them this time that if the frame came diagnosed as "ok"i was going to ask them to inspect it and put a sticker on it (it is due for inspection next month).diag. Came back - frame totally rusted, truck not fit to drive.so, icalled back consumer affairs, who told me -- sorry,you lose, in so many words, nothing we can do for you.my question to them was, if you knew you weren't going to assist me, why didyou have me tow the vehicle and pay for a diagnostic?they just said, more or less, too bad for you. Now let's compare to toyota, who had rust problems also with pickup trucks.they reached out totheir customers and offered some solutions while nissan just incurs more expense for the customer. The problems were the same -- inferior material used in frames.but at least toyota addressed the problem. Carsurvery.org had many complaints from nissan owners with rusted frame problems and some noted dangerous experiences on highways with breakdowns and accidents. Nissan refuses to admit and take responsibility whereastoyota has admitted and has tried to remedy problems with customer.nissan should also have the vehicle towed back to my home so i don't have to drive it and be a danger on the road.
Severe frame rust which weakens the structure. Required weldingseveral pieces of steel plate to the frame to strengthen the rusted areas. The problem continues at other areas of the frame as chunks of rusted metal continue to separate from the inside of the frame rails.
Frame is all rotted out and is breaking in half.
Frame rusted badly and rotted through at rear leaf spring forward mount, rear cab mount and front bed mount.
Frame rails on 1995 nissan pickup rusting out from interior.researching web for solutions indicate a large number of people with similar problems.while it is an old truck with high miles, it appears to me that a defect in design, finishing, or materials makes this a safety issue for those pickups (and pathfinders) on theroad today.

I currently own a 1995 nissan pick up truck that has severe frame rust beyond what would be considered normal.it is to the point that it is a safety concern.i had contacted nissan and was told that there was nothing that they would be willing to do.after researching the problem it appears to be a design issue on nissans part and they are not willing to own up to it.i can send you photo documentation of the frame to prove that it is not regular wear and tear on the vehicle.i took the vehicle to a mechanic last week and the truck was deemed unsafe and dangerous because of the amount of frame rust.
I see that you are investigating the frames on the infiniti qx and nissan pathfinders. The nissan hardbody trucks also suffer the same frame problems as the aforementioned vehicles. Here is a link that will show you that frame failure is also common in the hardbody trucks.http://www.carsurvey.org/reviews/nissan/pathfinder/r78984/comments/page-13/there are many hardbody owners on there asking for a remedy as well. My frame on my 95 is rusted and cracking as well right behind the passenger side front suspension. Its only a matter of time before the frame gives way and causes a crash on my truck and several others. Nissan motor corp needs to take responsibility and get these trucks off the roads.
The contact owns a 1995 nissan pickup. The contact stated that the vehicle was being examined by an independent mechanic, when the mechanic noticed small holes throughout the entire frame. The mechanic patched up all the holes, but the vehicle would not pass inspection after the repairs. The vehicle was then taken to a frame specialist, who replated the frame with steel. The vehicle again would not pass inspection because the cross member was corroded. The manufacture was made aware of the failure and stated that the warranty expired. The vehicle was not again repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 117,000.
The frame of my truck is rotting through. It started with the area over the back wheels, the garage refused to give me a state inspection until i had it repaired.

I contacted nissan corporate office as well as the local nissan dealership to no avail. They said this was due to environmental conditions.
