NHTSA Complaint #10351343 — 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA

I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SL, IN APPROXIMATELY 2008 FEBRUARY, MY CAR STOPPED ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HAD THE WORK DONE AT BUENA PARK NISSAN THEN I REALIZED THAT THE CAR HAD ALSO STARTING BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS AN OIL PAN LEAK, HAD THAT WORK DONE AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS LATER, THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN, HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED AT THE NISSAN DEALER SHIP IN ANTIOCH, CA, WAS ADVISED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AGAIN. AT THIS POINT, I WAS FRUSTRATED WITH THE CAR AND I CONTACTED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICAN, AND THE DEALERSHIP IN BUENA PARK WHO BOTH DENIED ME ANY HELP. I WAS GIVEN A REFERENCE NUMBER OF 6594593 WHEN I CALLED FOR A SOLUTION IN 2009. NOW, 8/2010, I AM HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUES AGAIN, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, MY ANTIFREEZE IS EVAPORATION ALONG WITH THE ENGINE OIL EVERY 300 MILES. I CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AGAIN TODAY AND SPOKE WITH LISA BYRNE AT EXTENSION 41661 WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING NISSAN WOULD DO AT THIS POINT BECAUSE MY PREVIOUS CLAIM HAD ALREADY BEEN DENIED. I AM REPLACING OIL ON A WEEKLY BASIS AS WELL AS THE ANTIFREEZE. I CALLED NISSAN AGAIN TODAY, REF # [XXX]. I ASKED HER WHO COULD I CONTACT OTHER THAN THE REGIONAL OFFICE AND SHE STATED NO ONE AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING NISSAN WAS GOING TO DO TO RIGHT MY SITUATION.
