Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN 350Z MANUAL 6 SPEED. AFTER SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES, THE CAR STARTED TO BURN AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. I STATED THAT THIS WAS A NEW CAR AND NEW CARS DO NOT BURN OIL. NISSAN CONSUMER RELATIONS WAS CONTACTED AND AFTER ALMOST A YEAR AND WITH MANY THREATS TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY AND SUE FOR CONSUMER FRAUD, NISSAN FINALLY AGREED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I HAVE 3,000 MILES ON THE NEW ENGINE, AND EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT CONSUMING OIL AS BEFORE, IT IS STILL BURNING SOME, WHICH IS NOT NORMAL. THIS HAS CREATED A SITUATION WHERE I NEED TO CARRY OIL WITH ME CONSTANTLY IN CASE THE OIL LEVEL GOES LOW AND I HAVE TO REPLACE BURNED OIL. THIS COULD RESULT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF I NEED TO STOP ON A FREEWAY OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR
