| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought a 2006 nissan altima on may 22, 2006. yesterday, i received a notice from nissan stating that there is an engine problem relating to oil consumption and engine fires.(i also saw an article in the paper about this problem) i have only 700 miles on the car, i checked the oil as soon as i received the notice and the oil was down by 1/2 quart, which is unheard of for a car with only 700 miles. i called the dealership and was told that nissan is increasing their warranty and to keep my oil levels up. for the amount of money i paid for this car (cash), i should not have to be concerned with an engine catching on fire. i think nissan should buy my car back and sell me a model that is not defective(only had the car 3 weeks). i am still waiting to hear from the dealership on how they will handle this problem. *nm |
