[QB] This problem, is one that Nissan has had trouble with, since the Xterra came out 9 yrs ago--

--You would think, that they would have slowly coerrected it, after a No. of complaints--Evidentaly not--

--If you had to pay for the repair, it would be expensive and then who knows how long the captive nuts would last then ??

Thanks and a few questions

1) Is there any documentation or writings anywhere about this problem, with which I can build a case on?

2) I had a regional specialist(from nissan) call me today, and basically tell me the same thing the service manager told me. He had just gotten off with the service manager.
He said he will discuss it with his managers and get back to me.
He suggested I go from dealer to dealer, until I can find one that will repair it under warranty.
I told him, I dont do things that way, and I expect nissan to make good on this, or otherwise I will have to go to alternate means.
Is this the norm for Nissan. I know its not that way for my acura or toyotas.
Any other things I should be doing?
He said I admitted to turning one of the bolts. I said I put the wrench in it and it was already stripped, since It did nothing but spin. But reasonable speaking, do you think I did that to five or six others as well. Am I stupid??

MUch regards
