In 2016 the driver side, front, outside door handle had broken off. I had it fixed only to have it broken off again this past spring. This time ordered the part myself right from nissan. This was such an inconvenience of trying to open the door until it was fixed. Now the driver side back, outside door handle broke! Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?? I live in the country so there is no one around to damage it. It is parked in the driveway off the street.

A brand new car bought early january 2009. It has 60885 miles when incident occurred. The muffler fall down and broke at flange connection point. Went to nissan dealer to check out and exam the problem. They indicate that a corrosion from inside the muffler pipe has occurred and caused this cracks, so it fall down. It was clear a poor manufacturing, or default in manufacturing this part was the reason to cause this incident. Dealer offered to replace it with a new part with cost up to $ 600, where it supposed to be free of charge. I would to claim nissan us corp. Responsibility for this incident. They did not made early recall to replace this part where they knew the problem. It was clear that they wait to happen at any time to make more profits. This it looks like as a fraud. Suppose controversy, this muffler fall down on high speed road, it may be cause, and could be, a deadly accident. Therefore, I am asking you please to investigate this problem with all nissan vehicles, and do what is necessary to protect us from such accident, and to provide us with a suitable compensation. Thank you.
