Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I picked up my new nissan altima on the evening of may 31. i was going to buy a used car but the dealer convinced me that i would never have any problems if i leased it new instead of buying a used vehicle. the next day i find that there is a problem with engine oil consumption and possibly engine fires. the problem is so bad that nissan has stopped selling this vehicle 24 hours after i picked up my vehicle. i questioned the dealer who swears he had no knowledge of any problems. this must be a lie. i was not permitted to return the vehicle. i checked my oil after 580 miles driven and it is already down two quarts. the dealer must have known of reported problems. *nm
