Takata recall, vehicle has been burning through a lot of motor oil and the other day I noticed smoke coming out of the motor and I'm going through about 3 quarts of motor oil in one week I am afraid that the motor may catch on fire. As I was driving my family to the lake I noticed that there was smoke coming out of the engine and the engine light came on when I pull to the side of the freeway the engine died and there was a lot of smoke coming out of it when I inspected it after it was safe to inspect I noticed there was zero oil in the motor.
This specific 2006 Nissan Sentra se-r spec-v as well as the 2006 Nissan altima both use the same qr25de engines witch these engines are highly prone to excessive oil consumption at rapid rates. My vehicle has gotten to the point where it comsumes a qt of oil every 150 miles or so. This is extremely dangerous as it can lead to engine fires because of a failure to cool the engine while it is on. This can also produce a significantly large ploom of grey/blue smoke from the exhaust because of large amounts of oil being burned. This large cloud of exhaust almost acts as a smoke screen to drivers behind me sometimes blocking vision because it can be so large, as well as its toxic impacts on the environment. In conclusion a fire hazard coupled with a large toxic cloud is a ground to have all Nissan vehicles with the qr25de engines with the production years of 2006 and below to be recalled as it can be potentially very dangerous. The top part of the photo is proof as it was written up by a vaden Nissan dealership mechanic.
