Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2002 nissan altima. lost the engine due to "no oil". dealership stated catalytic converter failed and caused abundant oil consumption. the catalytic converter was replaced on recall at 50,000 miles. the new converter only had a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty, unlike the original warranty. advised to contact nissan and i did. they stated converter and car were out of warranty and the y could accept responsibility. dealership charged me 4,500.00 dollars to replace the engine and the converter. vann york nissan supposedly replaced the entire engine with one from the factory in a miracle of 2 days from getting my approval. (3) weeks later the serpentine belt broke and i discovered it was the original belt from the old engine. this is a rip off and nissan north america should recall all these cars. plus dealers are taking advantage of the situation and making a tremendous amount of money. i'm suing..........*nm
