1995 Nissan Altima Engine cooling Problems

“Rusting cross member bar of the radiator core of all Nissan Altima from 1995. Upon inspection I noticed the cross member bar of the radiator core completely rusted. No rust anywhere except for this area of vehicle. Part should be recalled due to inferior workmanship of the steel this is a serious and dangerous problem because it supports engine components and may cause an accident it the parts give way under the rusted support structure.”

“Constant oil leak. Possibly leaking from behind the timing chain cover or the oil pan. The goodyear mechanic who checked my car said he had another customer with the same problem and I know others with the same vehicle which have the problem as well.”

“A gasket on my engine started leaking at around 64000 miles. I did not realize that it was a gasket until about 72000 miles when I reported it to Nissan. Since the car was no longer on warranty Nissan didnt want to do anything about it. The leak is on a section of the motor that is between the block and the oil pan. Nissan used silicone vtr to seal these two parts. Nissan should have used a standard paper type gasket. This gasket should not have started leaking at this mileage. …”

Upon contacting my local Nissan service center they informed me that almost all 1995 Altima'a are effected by this defect, the defect is not an official recall, and it would be my responsibilty to have the repairs made at my expense. Escalating this to the national Nissan hot line proved ineffective. The defect is documented in the following technical service bulletin: service bulletin number: ntb95-058a . Can anything be done?”

“Oil leaked from engine after owning vehicle 6 days, almost 700.00 to repair now the oil is leaking again. I had put only 400 miles on the car when it broke down. The dealership gave me a break on fixing it, but now it is leaking again. According to their repair record 3 seals were replaced and a belt. I felt sure this must be some defect but have not found any information. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I will be taking the vehicle back to the dealer again this friday 7/20. Because 2000 miles after their repairs I checked the oil and again nothing showed on the dip stick. …”
