Consumer Description

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2006 NISSAN 350Z W/ MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THAT HAS A MAJOR OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. THE ORIGINAL ENGINE WAS LOSING OIL AT A RATE OF 1 QUART PER 1,000 MILES. NISSAN CORP. AGREED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, WITH WHAT THEY SAID WAS THE COUNTER MEASURE FIX TO THE ISSUE. NOW, THE NEW REPLACEMENT ENGINE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE LESS THAN 4K MILES ON THE NEW ENGINE, AND THE DEALERSHIP (JOHN ELWAY NISSAN IN RIVERSIDE), CONFIRMED THE ENGINE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME OIL LOSS PROBLEM. NISSAN CORP. HAS RELEASED A TSB ON THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER THE RESOLUTION THEY PROVIDE (REPLACE WITH COUNTER MEASURE ENGINE), IS NOT A FIX. THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS MATTER, AND NISSAN CORP. SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DECEIT. THIS ISSUE ALSO AFFECTS OTHER YEARS AND MODELS (I.E. INFINITY G35 COUPE), WITH THE SAME ENGINE. *TR
