EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. I've had this car since new and I've had the exhaust manifolds replaced twice - by the dealer - for free. How? I call the Nissan USA headquarters in Long Beach and hammer them relentlessly until they cave. And they will. My car has only 89500 miles on it and this is the third set of manifolds including the original. They are defective and there is a recall out, but they don't tell you. They will try and say that they'll only cover 96-97 models, but point out to them that that was he year they fixed the problem and this is the year they would have the least recalls. I'm original owner so that helps and the dealer - Connell in Oakland, CA is a very good dealer, but everyone with these manifold problems should - even if you're not original owner - contact Nissan and demand satisfaction. The car is a great car otherwise...
Thanks for the review on the Nissan Pathfinder. I also have a se-v6 pathfinder 91, and I was curious; (when driving) the heat that comes from the transmisson and 4x4 boot is almost too much to handle. On a hot day (and you have driven for a minute) you could almost weld. Have you noticed this? Maybe this is part of the manifold problem? Other than that, I have put a starter in it (this weekend), but all and all it is a damn strong truck. I have 27x15x10.5 tires and am about to get 31.5, but I haven`t ever been stuck or been nervous that I couldn`t make it.
I have the same problem with the heat. Did you ever find out what it might be?
