no recall, but may be covered under your warrantyvolvite wrote:All,
I've used the search and can't seem to find my problem. I have an 08 V8 with 68K miles. Within the last month a new noise as started coming from the passenger side. To my limited knowledge it sounds like an exhaust leak. It makes a flutter sound only when there is pressure, like stepping hard on the gas. During normal driving or idle, the sound is not there. So I took it to a local exahust shop and they just called back and said without removing parts, free estimate, the leak is coming from the manifold gasket. He's not 100% sure but all indications are telling him the manifold gasket. He then informed me that this replacement is over 12 hrs of labor to the tune of over $1,000.
My question to you is, my Pathfinder is a certified pre-owned. Would this type of repair fall under the "drivetrain" warranty that is covered under the pre-owned warranty? Its not a normal wear and tear item. Is there a recall that I might have missed in my search about this gasket? Any help you all can provide would be very beneficial. Thanks.
Did you post on this forum about the replacement? I thought I had seen something before, but after 2 days of searching the forum I didn't see anything, that's why I created my post. I hate starting new threads when someone else has already had the same issue.NmexMAX wrote:Yup, had my passenger side covered under the emissions warranty 8yr/80k since the V8 the cat convertor and manifold are 1 piece. I had 74k at the time.
Just rolled over 80k this morning.
