1 Engine Cooling System problem

Failure Date: 11/12/2009

Coolant is leaking at the head gasket on my single owner 2000 Nissan Xterra xe v6 4wd. I had this checked by 3 different certified technicians and they all pointed out the same issue. The car has only 65k miles on it. The cost of repairing this is more than $1200. Seems like lot of Nissans has similar issue, yet no recalls on this problem. I have owned cars that had more than $100k miles and never had to replace the head gasket. Currently, a temporary seal is put in place, yet, I see few drops of coolant on the garage floor.
