Crank shaft broken when Nissan dealer try to change timing belt. The next day I call aaa tow my Quest to arco gas station. The technician of arco found the crank shaft was broken but already broken about 1/2 before I drove to dealer to change timing belt. The new 1/2 broken probably caused by after removing timing belt and crank shaft bolt. The pulley is too heavy for crank shaft to hold it. So when Nissan's technician try to remove crankshaft pulley, the pulley drop with broken piece of crank shaft. It happen at milage 89,000. Crank shaft suppose will never broken during normal driving.

My 1995 Nissan Quest stopped suddenly on April 7, 2000 approx. 4:30 pm during rush hour traffic in wash DC on penn. And branch ave. I had no warning signs nor any known problems with my car. I called for a tow truck that towed my car to wards in hillcrest heights, md. Nissan closes early with no weekend support and I needed my car serviced immediately. Wards checked my car and find that my "timing belt" had broken. I informed wards not to fix it because I had my "timing belt" changed 10 months ago (06/10/99) and Nissan should be held responsible for fixing it. I arranged towing again (at my expense) to have my car towed from wards to Nissan. Nissan checked my car and informed me that the "timing belt" had broken due to a broken head bolt that had fallen a broke the timing belt. I had purchased an extended warranty from Nissan went I bought the car, so everything should have been covered -- it wasn't, because the coverage didn't cover nuts and bolts. I was outage and had been sold a produce that I couldn't use and under false pretense. Nissan service manger (larry)at passport Nissan explained to my husband and I my car had an engine the same as the Nissan maxima; and he has seen the motor on these cars do the same as mind when the reach approx 75,000 miles. Since, this service manager is aware of this problem why wasn't I notified of this problem. I have kept up the service maintenance agreement for this car and should have encountered the problems I had. It costed my $1697 to get this fix and I just paid them $657 in June. I would like an investigation on this matter.
While on interstate hwy the engine "slung a rod" through the oil pan at 65 miles per hour. This resulted in a hazardous loss of power and a small fire in the engine compartment. Nissan refuses to honor extended warrenty or return calls or respond to written complaints.
