Consumer Description

IN JUNE 2009 I NOTICED THAT IN MY 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. I ALSO NOTICED THEN THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF OIL. UPON REFILLING WITH OIL FEW DAYS LATER I NOTICED AGAIN DRY DIPSTICK. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO COLONIAL NISSAN AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. FEW DAYS LATER I WAS TOLD THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS CLOGGED (CODE P0420) AND THAT THERE IS AN ENGINE DAMAGE CAUSED BY FAULTY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I CONTACTED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA TWO TIMES IN WRITING AND WAS DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS. IT APPEARS AS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND DECLINES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS MATTER. *TR
