Nissan Pickup Engine problems by year

Nothing happened to me yet. But I've been reading reports of this frame rust the same way in other trucks. I think there's integrity issue with the frame nissan made. The rest of my truck is flawless no body rust. Was there a recall put out I just haven't heard of it? I just want to report it to make sure that nissan might be aware of the problem. *Tr

This is a design flaw in the air induction system, filter fills up with water, causing the air induction system to rust out, and the fuel pressure regulator to rust shut, flooding the engine, fix is replace fuel pressure regulator, rebuild/replace air induction controls, and the filter and canister, and drill a small drain hole in the canister so that the condensation can drain out, until nissan makes a better replacement canister for the filter. *Tr

I took my 1994 nissan 4x4 pickup truck in for a water pump and exhaust system to a nissan dealer. I was told that they would not repair the truck because the frame is so rusted that it is unsafe to drive the truck. This vehicle has 118,000 miles and was not used for anything other then daily transportation to work and back home. *Tr

I have a 1994 nissan 4x4 pickup xe with 118,000 miles on it. I took it in to a nissan dealer because I needed a water pump and exhaust system repaired. I was informed by the dealer that they would not make the repair because the frame is rusted through on the left side of the truck and the truck is unsafe to drive. How can this be possible, this is not a truck that is used off road or for any 4x4 activities. I purchased a nissan because I was under the impression that a nissan will basically last forever. I...

Dt:the contact stated the lifter valve was making a tapping noise in the engine. The noise was heard when 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.*Ak

EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK.*AK

Timing chain, timing chain cover defect (nissan ka24e). Timing chain tensioner failure causes damage to inside of timing chain cover. Coolant seeps into oil pan causing overheating and stalling. *Jb

1994 Nissan pickup with 3.5 V6 engine. Manifolds break loose. I've talked to a lot of people who have had the same problem. My mechanic sees it all the time. $2000 Dealer repair. Internet search shows many similar problems. Heavy fumes in cab of truck. Fire risk. *Nlm

Consumer called complaining about having problems with wire harness routed over the engine nut causing accelarating chafing which caused a fire on the vehicle. Dealer was contacted and stated the same reason. Also consumer stated that this has happend twice. Ts

Have had constant problem with exhaust leaks. Dealer denies safety issue/manufacturing defect exists.*Ak

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.*Ak

Within 60,000 miles exhaust manifold studs crack, causing exhaust fumes to escape, and eventually cause damages to engine. *Ak *yh

Manul for 86 pickup "recommends" replacing timing belt at 60,000 miles. This is not a "recommendation, it is a requirement. The sudden and complete loss of power steering and brakes can be deadly. I cannot believe there is no recall on this type failure, common place with nissans and hondas. I delayed repair until I had time to investigate the failure. The failure of the belt causes the valves to contact the pistons bending the valve stems. There is no warning of imminent failure nor an indicator to show that the...

Exhaust manifold bolts break, nissan service bulletin (tsb 94041 4/94) 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. *Ak

Second occurrence of exhaust manifold leak due to broken bolts/studs. First occurrence was on passenger side manifold (repaired 3/98 @ 55028mi.) Causes loud engine noise and occasional smell of exhaust fumes. Nissan will not cover repair although tsb has been issued and numerous claims for this issue have been filed.*Ak
