Consumer Description

THE UPPER OIL PAN SEAL IS NOT SECURE. THIS CAUSES OIL TO LEAK FROM ENGINE. I AM FAMILIAR WITH FOUR OTHER INDIVIDUALS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ( ALTIMA OWNERS). THE SEAL ITSELF IS VERY INEXPENSIVE, BUT THE LABOR TO LIFT THE ENGINE TO REPLACE THE SEAL, IS ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY $450 TO $600. WITH FIVE ALTIMA OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, I FEEL THIS IS A DESIGN ERROR. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! *AK
