Nothing on the news, but the 2.5's in the Altimas and what not have severe problems resulting in excessive oil consumption due to the pre-cat getting screwed up by faulty sensors, sending crap into the cylinder walls, scratchign the hell outta them, and the rest is history. What's Nissans fix? they replace the pre-cat, and send you on your way, knowing your cylinder walls are already toast. And if that doesnt work, then they have to replace the whole motor, but all the people I have talked to said they went in for the recall, they jsut replaced their pre-cats which didn't fix it, and when they went back to get the motor replace, Nissan said tough, you came in for the recall already, can't do it again!! I don't know how my mothers car DIDN'T have that happen to her, but it's a pretty common thing depending on when yuo took it in for the recall and the time you drove around scratching up the walls. Some people report a quart evry two weeks, or the womans car I work on, 3 quarts every two weeks!!
The other major recall is the crank/cam sensor crapping out and the engine shutting off/stalling while in movement. They change the part, and update the software, but even though this problem is known to be happening as far back as 2002, they only made the recall going by your VIN#. nissan is ****, just like the other two, but my mother doesnt seem to understand that.
None fo these recalls were life threatening, but when your paying for a $20+K car, and they turn you away because they didnt fix the problem the factory produced.....well they'll never see me buy from them. |
