1 Clutch Bell Housing problem of the 2014 Nissan Frontier

Failure Date: 05/25/2017

VIN#: 1n6adocu2en749235; my vehicle is still in warranty and "baker Nissan" in houston, TX has refused to honor "drivetrain warranty". The one piece "cast aluminum "bell housing" (the "major connection" between the "engine and automatic transmission, covering the major "torque converter" which is basically the "hydraulic turbine that converts the engine rpm's/torque into hydraulic torque within the transmission, to the driveshaft, to rear axles, to wheels. The "alum. Bell housing" has "hundreds of major cracks" all around the portion (bottom & passenger side) that I can see and feel and "marked in red" in about 4 of 8 pictures which appears as it is possible, I could eventually "desintigrate". . . , which could possibly allow the transmission to spin. . . I "only wonder" if the "floor shifter" spun to the left, if it could brake my right leg "into". . . Guess that could be worse case. . . ? my bell housing (from my little. Knowledge of metalurgy) was "cast" with either "low grade aluminum", "too thin a casting", not "treated properly", etc, etc. Whichever or where ever the "casting mfg. "; did not cast my "bell housing" alone with inferior aluminum alloy or thickness! he (mfg. ) cast hundreds if not thousands of these inferior aluminum "bell housing" castings. If I have not already stated before, brad baker, owner(?) of baker Nissan in houston, TX, yesterday June 1, 2017, (paraphasing him): ". . . You have been complaing about this (vibration and ultimatly transmission "slipping") for 2 years now, (to my knowledge, truck never lifted & looked at, all checking done by computer) and we found nothing wrong. . . And for me not to bring my vehicle to baker Nissan again. . . " ! 31,000+ miles, June 1, 2017 I'm near 63, and fighting bone cancer, can't afford a lawyer,. . . Don't really know what to do. . . ? help from you all would be appreciated. . . !!! thank you, rodger.

2 Clutch Bell Housing problem of the 2014 Nissan Frontier

Failure Date: 01/10/2015

I have already filed a complaint: Friday June 2, 2017. This is from research on www (thousands of ads to sell Nissan "bell housings on www); from youtube concerning a $7,000 reair: autonation Nissan of brandon in brandon, FL did the work and a few months later and a couple thousand miles I am having no issues and much of the bell housing rattle is gone! they ended up replacing my drive shaft along with the bell housing, and I also got a new front catalytic converter/downpipe as it was damaged during removal due to seized hardware. The whole warranty job was around $7,000! from youtube (the "red lines" in my attached photos are "cracks", you can "hang" your fingernail on) I learned there has been "bell housing decentigration, rear end of engine crankshafts breaking off, transmission bearings spinning in the trans. Housings and driveshafts wobbling, etc, etc. Should I report this to "federal trade commission? the date below is when I was driving (180 miles) home after purchasing vehicle. Baker Nissan has been "jerking" me around for over two (2) years now. That is the reason brad baker stated to ". . . Don't bring the vehicle back there again. . . " and I still have 28,000 miles / 2 1/2 years warranty on vehicle! drivetrains don't "vibrate" !!!.
