The thermostat and fan clutch in the cooling system of the vehicle has failed 3 times in the years I have owned my Nissan. The engine will rise in temperature and because of the fan clutch and thermostat failure, the engine temperature rises to unsafe levels.

After several visits to Nissan for numerous complaints and problems the 36,000 mile warranty had expired in the middle of fixing them. There has been a noise that they claimed first was the knock sensor, they replaced that, and now they believe it is the exhaust manifold however if it is just the gaskets they want $400 to replace or if it is cracked which they can't tell me for sure it's covered under the 60,000 warranty. The most upsetting thing is this problem existed before warranty expiration and they still have not fixed it.
