Consumer Description

I HAD RECALL WORK DONE AND THE RESULT IS MY ENGINE NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA NOW CONSUMES 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 100 MILES. EAST CHARLOTTE NISSAN PERFORMED THE FOLLOWING RECALLS P5216 AND R0606 IN ADDITION TO THIS THEY REPLACED THE O2 SENSOR AT A COST OF $365.00. WITHIN TWO DAYS (300 MILES) OF GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK THE OIL WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY AND IT HAS NEEDED TO BE REFILLED EVERY 200 MILES SINCE THE ORIGINAL VISIT TO EAST CHARLOTTE NISSAN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. NISSANS OWN RECALL STATES THAT FOR A NUMBER OF VEHICLES AND ENGINE REPLACEMENT WILL BE NECESSARY. THEY ARE NOT HONORING THEIR VERY OWN RECALL NOTICE. I HAVE DOCUMENTED REGULAR SERVICE ON THIS VEHICLE THAT IS WELL WITHIN THE RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES. INCLUDING AN OIL CHANGE AT A REPUTABLE RETAILER AT INTERVALS OF 3-4000 MILES.*JB
