Consumer Description

I NOTICED MY 2006 350Z WAS USING SMALL AMOUNTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. AROUND 21,000 MILES I SAW A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN OIL USAGE. MORE THAN 1 QUART LOW AT ONLY 1900 MILES INTO MY OIL CHANGE. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH DEALER TO SHOW OIL CONSUMPTION AND IT HAS INCREASED AS TIME HAS GONE ON. THIS WILL RESULT IN DECREASED VALUE OF MY CAR AS THE WORD GETS OUT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET A FAIR TRADE IN VALUE OR EVEN SALE MY AUTO ONCE THE KNOWLEDGE OF OIL USAGE IS PUBLIC. THE DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE ENGINE, BUT HAS FAILED TO DO SO OR EVEN GIVE ME A DATE FOR THE REPLACEMENT. I FEEL THEY ARE DOWNPLAYING MY SITUATION IN THE HOPES THAT I WILL JUST GO AWAY. NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE IN MID 2005. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN MID 2006. I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO ME AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. *TR
