Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a 2006 nissan altima on february 25, 2006. the first oil change i was almost a quart low, the second oil change about the same thing. 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 autoweek about this problem. they are extending the warranty to 100,000 miles and want me to check my oil every 700 miles. are they kidding, a car that burst into flames if you don??t check the oil almost every time you fill with gas and all they are willing to do is extend the warranty. i have only 8,000 miles on the car, and feel completely unsafe driving it now. niacin need to correct this problem now if that required changing the engine so be it. this will be the last nissan i purchase ever and i have owned 4 before. *nm
