Hello All , I have been reading some of your posts and for sure there are some pretty unhappy people here. I am presently in the final stages of purchasing an 06 Altima 2.5 SE Special Edition. I now own a Pathfinder which has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. I have talked to the local dealer and I have been reassured that the issue of the oil consumption will be resolved fully before I ever take possession of this car. The deal too is unmatched by Honda or Toyota, almost $4,000 difference in price out the door. They have an 84 month extended warranty as well as free oil changes/tire rotation for life. That is pretty hard to beat. My feelings are that Nissan is a company that has been around for a long time. They generally produced some pretty remarkable vehilces and this oil issue will be resolved. Unless I missed the boat here I think they have covered most everything and I'm getting quite a good deal. |

| HEY it's the big tuna. Just to let you all know i WON MY CASE AGAINST NISSAN!!!!! NOW THE RATS HAVE TO BUY THE CAR BACK!!! To Quote the arbitrator" The oil consumption problem is clearly a manufacturing defect and the vehicles value has substantially impaired." In New York the lemon law is clear. Take your car to nissan have them do the oil check. Request they repair the car. Get the documentation for three or more visits. Send the certified letters to the dealer and Nissan North America requesting a full refund. They have a set time period to fix the car 30 days. That's FIX THE CAR!!! not install a rebuilt motor. That lowers the value of the car. File with the BBB arbitration, fill out the paperwork send it back get a hearing date and present your case. Nissan dosen't have a leg to stand on. Anyone with questions send me an email | |

Replying to: nextmoon (Jul 14, 2006 5:05 am) Finally, let me alert everyone to the recall for the subframe. I live in new englad and the entire thing corroded in less than 2 years. I have a new subframe but my brakes corroded prematurely and now there are tons of rattles. I feel that I am driving a tin can. Best of luck to everyone with lemons like mine.
