You've owned a G long enough, you should be embarrassed you asked that question.

 

Is the big black box that goes right under the battery compartment!!
Here a picture of it outside! With the lid off!

 

Driving around with no under shield, no battery cover, no fender liner, just to gO low n slow is crazy... Just imagine all the electrical components and metal structure that is exposed to water, snow, salt, debris and more. All that will accelerate the point of failure n lead to large shop bills and dents in wallets

 

So it seems as though there was no "crappy engineering to be expected from Nissan" after all faiz, just a bit of operator negligence by not keeping the cover in place for extended periods of time. (no offense OP, just sayin)


Time and time again, it's been proven that no amount of good engineering can overcome plain old negligence/ignorance, but just like I said, haters gonna hate.

haha, yeah . . . so I guess YOU DO recognize perhaps there;s more to the story than crappy engineering

 

...........

 

IPDM failing due to operator error is just plain stupid and can be pointed to the fact it was not left in OEM form and modified somehow by the user. Now please explain why Nissan fancy engineering leads to IPDM failing for all these vehicles in stock form. Do I need to bring back the topic on window motors, AC radio controls, Rev-up motors, manual tranny cd001-008, compression rod bushing...do i need to go on.

^^ Well, not a single V36 in that list. They have been out for 5 years now

 

To keep things fair though, we need to compare the quantity of similar TSB's released by other manufacturers. I'm certain that Nissan's amount of TSB's does not exceed those of other brands.
But I will agree that the mesh part of the windshield cowl, which sits above the battery lets rain water through into the battery compartment as I find drops of water between the battery terminals after each drive in the rain. I'm guessing it is designed for venting the battery compartment since the factory battery does release gasses as part of its normal charge/discharge cycles. I'm closing mine off so no water can get in at all since I run a sealed XS Power battery.

 

So the battery cover actually serves a purpose??? Who would've thought!!!

 

Seems like all signs point to negligence to me. It sucks, but you gotta keep up with the leaves and neettles in the cowl, under hood, doors and trunk.

 

Glad for you that they fixed it.

Lol, we are all aware of the issues.

Just pretend we don't though. Tell us more. At this point we all care tremendously what you have to say.

What else do you think about nissan. We really want to know.
