Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING WHEN I NOTICED MY NISSAN ALTIMA OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO GET IT CHECKED AND THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR. I GOT THE OIL AND FILTER CHANGED AND A FEW DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC, WHO TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND NEW ENGINE. THE REPAIRS COST IS 3,000 THAT I DON'T HAVE. I'VE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AND HAVE NOTICED THAT THEIR ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD SO MUCH EXHAUST COMING FROM MY CAR THAT MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WASN'T SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
