Consumer Description

2014 PATHFINDER STARTED EMITTING LOTS OF WHITE SMOKE FROM TAILPIPE ALMOST OUT OF NOWHERE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. ASKED FOR A BETTER EXPLANATION, AND THEY SAID THAT FLUIDS ARE GETTING INTO THE CYLINDERS AND THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS A NEW ENGINE. VERY SHORT, WOULD NOT EXPLAIN ANY FURTHER. THE CAR IS ABOUT 5 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT UNDER THE WARRANTY MILEAGE. THEY SAID I COULD TAKE THE ISSUE UP WITH NISSAN DIRECTLY AND MAYBE THEY WOULD HELP OUT. I KEPT UP WITH MY OIL CHANGES, KEPT FLUIDS TOPPED OFF. I'M COMPLETELY BESIDES MYSELF WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. HOPING TO FIND THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS FAMILIAR WITH AND DECIDING TO OWN UP TO.
