| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought my first 2006 nissan altima 2.5 s in may of 2006. just after a 2 weeks of having this car, i received a letter from nissan motors that your car can use excessive amount of oil and as a result can blow up. and they are telling me to check the oil every 700 miles to make sure it doesn't blow up. after all i didn't spent $20,000 to check oil every 700 miles and hoping it doesn't blow up while i am driving. i have also researched and found that lots of owners have complaint like this. i contacted nissan motors on the 800 number that was on the letter and they notified me that they will notify me with the outcome of this problem within 60 days. i received this letter on june 9, 2006 and today is august 15, 2006. it has been more then 60 days and i still don't have any reply back from nissan motors. i strongly think that as a result of this problem nissan should not only replace the engine or fix whatever the problem is. but, they should give 100% refund including the fees like destination charge of $605. this is not a small problem, no one should spend $20,000 and still have to hope if they won't blow up with car while driving. *nm |
