Exhaust leak from cracked egr cooler after 4k miles
I bought this 2025 Nissan Kicks NEW off the lot. Less than 4,000 miles and less than three months later it sounds like the engine is made out of loosely bolted together tin cans! I HATE driving this car now, and it's BRAND NEW! From their mechanic: TECH INSPECTED VEHICLE AND HEARD EXHAUST LEAK FRONT REAR OF ENGINE BAY. TECH SEARCH TECHLINE FOR SIMILAR CASES AND FOUND 4 CASES WHERE EGR COOLER IS CRACKED AND AT FAULT. RECOMMEND REPLACING EGR COOLER AND REINSEPCTING. The only problem is NISSAN has ZERO parts available to replace/fix and I might have to drive this piece of junk around for MONTHS and potentially over a YEAR before it's available to be fixed. What does the dealership do? Try to upgrade me to a ROUGUE, screw me out of my $7,500 down payment AND refinance me to cost me even MORE MONEY! This whole company can KICK rocks! First and LAST time I will buy a Nissan! STAY AWAY FROM NISSAN!!
