Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The oil dipstick handle breaks off and the balance of the dipstick is unable to be retrieved out of the dipstick cylinder unless the whole assembly is taken apart. this a very costly procedure ranging from $200-400. this has happened more than one time and it seems to me that nissan should provide a better quality dipstick that will not deteriorate and break from what i perceive as heat related damage. will they pay the costs for this repair? *tr
