| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2002 nissan altima 2.5s. i have seen that they have issued recalls for newer models based on the engine consuming excessive amounts of oil. i have noticed the same thing happening on my car for the past few years. i have mentioned it to the dealer on a couple of occasions and have been sort of blown off and told i am not changing the oil often enough. i recently was in the dealership for a recall for the undercarriage and while there had a 90000 mile service done. after that service, the engine was going through oil roughly every 500 miles or so. it used to go through it every 4000 miles or so, which seems incredibly quick. i think the problem is not just on the newer models but on older models as well. from what i have read, this could be a fire hazard and would like the matter looked into further. *jb |
