I believe that the engine is unsafe due to a design flaw with the vehicle. The engine blew 2 head gaskets twice. The first time at ~40000 miles, the second at ~144000 miles. The damage was severe enough that the engine had to be replaced on the second incident. Both cases there was no indicaiton of any issues till the incident other than the heater stopped working. None of the gauges showed any difference from normal operation.

I was driving my car home from work and my engine started to miss fire. About half way home on the pulaski bridge my car shut off. I was able to restart my car while it was in motion as I drive a stick shift car. I still noticed the car was still misfiring so before I drove threw the holland tunnel I pulled over and shut the car off. I gave it a few minutes and restarted my car and it didn't sound as bad so I continue on to manhattan. I got about three blocks from my home and car shut off again. This time it had a engine light. I parked my car went home and got my obd2 reader and found a code P0301 cylinder one misfire. I pulled the plug to find it was in closed position, so I looked up on the internet and found that this engine has butterfly screws in the intake manifold that come loose and causes this to happen. I took my car to Nissan and was charged to replace the spark plug. This did not fix the problem I myself am a mechanic so I removed the intake manifold to find I was missing a screw from the butterfly above cylinder 1. Nissan corporate was called and so far nothing has come out of this. I need help please.
