Consumer Description

MY OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF MY 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 97,000 MILES. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE OIL. THE DIPSTICK WAS BONE DRY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. HE SAID IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THAT DESTROYED THE ENGINE. I NEED A NEW ENGINE. NISSAN HAD A RECALL ON THIS EXACT THING, BUT AFTER CONTACTING THEM, THEY CLAIM THERE IS NO ISSUE AND THEY ARE NOT LIABLE. WHEN I PRESSED THEM, THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE NISSAN HAD NOT BEEN SERVICING THE CAR AND I HAVE TOO MANY MILES. I PRESSED THEM AGAIN, AND THERE STORY CHANGED AGAIN. IF YOU GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME NON-ACTION FROM NISSAN. THIS IS AFTER 9 RECALLS ON THIS CAR. SOMEONE HAS TO HELP US. PLEASE. *TR
