I have been losing oil for a couple of years now and I just kept putting it in about once a month. Nobody could find out where it was coming from. I kept asking at oil changes. I just recently had it in to replace the valve cover gasket and tune up ($1200. 00) because valve cover was leaking oil into the spark plugs and all over. . Well, they fixed it and I noticed it sounded like it was out of oil again. So I took it right back and asked if they had put oil in it and why it was sounding the way it is. I thought it was using oil because it was in need of a tune up. They took it back in and it was already down a quart. He lifted it and found the oil cool had a hole in it. He said it was not the gasket and it was the oil cooler. These cars are apparently known for that and he doesn't know why it hasn't been recalled because it will damage the engine if you run out and don't know it. So now he wants another 5-600. 00 to fix it because it's a Nissan part.
Since October 2010, I have had to get oil changes at least 1000 miles sooner (lately it's been more) than the 3000 mile mark. The mechanics have not found an external leak, and I have been told by two mechanics that my engine has to be consuming the oil since it is not leaking. I called Nissan (and a few dealers), and they all said that my VIN did not qualify for a recall. My car has the same issue as the others that were recalled, so is Nissan required to check it or fix it?.
2006 Nissan Altima, bought new, consumes oil with no visible leaks. Oil must be added every week to keep adequate levels in engine. Dealership says the only way to fix the problem is to put in a new engine when this one finally fails. This is not an acceptable answer to this problem.
I bought a Nissan 2006 Altima and I was told that the motor was a recall but had been replaced when I purchased the auto, since then 1 yr later I had another recall to replace the motor again. The headliner has been replaced and it still has a spot where I believe it is leaking. My pickup as in the motor isn't working properly when I put my foot on the gas it takes time for it to move. I have taken it in on a regular basis for oil changes, rotation of tires etc. I am very dissatisfied with the motor of this vehicle. Please help.
2006 Nissan Altima 2. 5 special edition had oil leak from the seal in the motor. Brakes were squeaking. The dealer informed the consumer there was no problem with the brakes.
I purchased a brand new 2006 Nissan Altima in March 2006. It's now August 2006, and I am experiencing an oil leak. I took the car to the dealership and the technician told me that it was leaking at the seal. Now my vehicle identification number fell in the range of the 2006 Nissan Altima recall. The technician stated that Nissan corporate told him just to replace the seal. I was not satisfied with that response. I was never offered a new motor. I believe that because I am a woman they are playing me for dumb. I have also been dealing with squealing brakes that I have reported to the technician which he keeps dismissing as the hot weather.
- the contact stated that the 2006 Nissan Altima was excessively consuming oil, she has taken it at least fifteen times to the dealer. The dealer advised her to bring the vehicle in when it had no oil. The first time she took it to the dealer for repair she had received a recall letter from Nissan regarding the oil leak, but to her knowledge it was not repaired and the problem recurred. When the contact took the vehicle to the dealer they stated that there was no problem. She called north american Nissan ,and they told her to send in her invoices so that they might help her, but the vehicle was still excessively consuming oil.
