Consumer Description

NO COLLISION- WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE MADE A LARGE NOISE AND SUDDENLY EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN.THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE AND WE HAD CAR TOWED. CAR NEEDS COMPLETE NEW ENGINE. TWO DIFFERENT AUTO SHOPS SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS. CAR HAD ALWAYS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. NISSAN WAS NOTIFIED AND CAME TO TAKE PICTURES OF CAR IN NOVEMBER 2004. HAS BEEN UNDER "LEGAL REVIEW" EVER SINCE AND COMPANY HAS BEEN LESS THAN COOPERATIVE WHEN WE'VE TRIED TO CONTACT THEM NUMEROUS TIMES, SO WE'VE CONTACTED AN ATTORNEY.*AK
