Consumer Description

SINCE OCTOBER 2010, I HAVE HAD TO GET OIL CHANGES AT LEAST 1000 MILES SOONER (LATELY IT'S BEEN MORE) THAN THE 3000 MILE MARK. THE MECHANICS HAVE NOT FOUND AN EXTERNAL LEAK, AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TWO MECHANICS THAT MY ENGINE HAS TO BE CONSUMING THE OIL SINCE IT IS NOT LEAKING. I CALLED NISSAN (AND A FEW DEALERS), AND THEY ALL SAID THAT MY VIN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR A RECALL. MY CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE OTHERS THAT WERE RECALLED, SO IS NISSAN REQUIRED TO CHECK IT OR FIX IT?
