Our 2006 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL seems to be section of a recall (NTB06-028) for excessive gas usage. The vehicle started showing the outward symptoms of the recall concerning extreme oil-burning at 120K miles in late June. The issue began abruptly, using one-quart every 600 miles with in fourteen days one-quart every 300-350 miles. Throughout my possession of the vehicle the automobile had been correctly preserved at my local Nissan dealership.
At 138k miles the automobile started creating a sound that seemed just like a carrier caught beneath the vehicle. Soon after coming house, the vehicle erupted in heavy, dark smoke that billowed from underneath the cover and in to the automobile through the ports. Remember strategy ID Number: 06V223000 plainly says that, “certain individual automobiles designed with 2.5L applications might encounter excessive gas consumption”. The severe result of the issue is motor damage and fireplace. The automobile has become not drivable.
Based On my documents the recall was done about the vehicle on 4/24/08 at my local dealer nevertheless my preliminary contact at Nissan Corporate stated that the vehicle wasn't part of the recall. Later, another consultant stated that the recall was done on 4/26/06 (this predates the NHTSA An Initial Problem Report).
After numerous telephone calls and discussions I'm acutely unhappy that Nissan won't take any obligation for that defective recall repair.
