This vehicle was involved in a mva where it hit the broadside of a minivan (t-boned) that ran a red light through an intersection. The truck was going in excess of 20mph at the time, when I contacted the Mini-van no airbag was deployed. I suffered hits to my head, whiplash related damages, damage to my shoulder and right leg. The impact caused significant front end damage to the truck, the engine and body were damaged to the point where I was not able to drive the truck and engine was inoperative. No airbag deployment.
Serveral web sites I have read indicate a recurring problem with engine/exhuast accumaltaion of water via the leakeage in water lines and/or faulty manufacturing heads/engine system. My vehcile accumulated water in one of the piston (4-5), and perhaps warped the alum heads or maybe blown gasket. If repaired will this problem persist, and what recourse do I have with either manufacture or used car dealer (bought in san antonio, texas).
Consumer feels the vehicle is consuming too much oil. Consumer states' vehicle is burning 1 quart per 1000 miles. Cause is unknown. Took to Nissan and they said it was normal. Please provide any further information. Ts.
