#253 of 498 Re: 2002 Altima with "THE" oil problem [laura19] by czander Apr 17, 2008 (6:31 am)
Replying to: laura19 (Jan 25, 2008 10:03 am) did you see this note on Edmunds -- dated 2006.... reimbursement is possible but you need to report it to Nissan first, then take to Nissan Dealer, then send in receipts for reimbursement....   NISSAN RECALLS NEARLY 100,000 VEHICLES .... According to Edmund's Inside Line, Nissan has recalled 96,800 2006 Altimas and Sentra SE-Rs because of a risk of engine fire.     The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that the 2.5-liter engines in the cars "may experience excessive oil consumption as a result of improper performance of the piston rings," a condition that could lead to an engine fire.NHTSA said if engine oil is not maintained at least at minimum levels, engine damage is likely and a fire is possible.     Owners can contact Nissan at (800) 647-7261 or NHTSA at (800) 424-9153.

Replying to: tinan39 (Apr 16, 2008 8:55 pm) they may be trying to pull a fast one one you, the car has 2 cats. the second one farther down the exhaust will be, and will test fine.   but anyway, your wasting your time with lawsuits, and especially tv. There is nothing to look into. its a poor design to put the cat so close to the engine. nissan is under no legal obligation to build an engine that lasts more than xxx amount of miles. building a crappy car doesn't make them liable for damages. unless it's under warranty, and isn't a safety issue, they arn't legally liable to do anything, though it is in their best interest.   and there was another recall on it. the few people who are experiencing the problem proabably either didn't have it done, or it wasn't done properly.
