MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SL APPEARS TO BE PART OF A RECALL (NTB06-028) FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE CAR BEGAN EXHIBITING THE SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL CONCERNING EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING AT 120K MILES IN LATE JUNE 2012. THE PROBLEM STARTED SUDDENLY, BURNING ONE QUART EVERY 600 MILES AND WITH IN TWO WEEKS ONE QUART EVERY 300-350 MILES. THROUGHOUT MY OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR THE VEHICLE HAD ALWAYS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. AT 138K MILES THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A BAG TRAPPED UNDERNEATH THE CAR. JUST AFTER ARRIVING HOME, THE CAR EXPLODED IN THICK, BLACK SMOKE THAT BILLOWED FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND INTO THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE VENTS. RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V223000 CLEARLY STATES THAT, ?CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.5L ENGINES MAY EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION?. THE EXTREME CONSEQUENCE OF THIS PROBLEM IS ENGINE DAMAGE AND FIRE. ACCORDING TO MY RECORDS THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON THE CAR ON 4/24/08 AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP HOWEVER MY INITIAL CONTACT AT NISSAN CORPORATE SAID THAT THE CAR WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. LATER, ANOTHER REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON 4/26/06 (THIS PREDATES THE NHTSA A PRELIMINARY DEFECT REPORT). AFTER MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS AND CONVERSATIONS I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY RECALL FIX. *TR

MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE LURCHED FORWARD, AS IF IT WAS NOT GETTING GAS. I MADE IT HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. I THOUGHT I HAD PURCHASED BAD GAS. THE NEXT MORNING MY CAR WOULD NOT START, IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES FOR IT TO FINAL START. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I RAN A SCAN AND THE SCAN SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH I DID AND IT DID NO GOOD. THE ENGINE IS VERY HARD TO START AND IS CONSUMING A LOT OF GAS. THIS PAST WEEKEND THE ENGINE STARTED TO BUCK WHEN IDLING IN TRAFFIC. I WAS AFRAID THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO DIE AND CATCH FIRE. I FOUND A PREVIOUS RECALL THAT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE MINE WITH THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID MY ENGINE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS ANGERED ME THAT THEY DO NOT TAKE THESE THINGS SERIOUSLY ENOUGH TO INCLUDE ALL 2.5L ENGINES FOR THAT YEAR. THE RECALL ID # 67703 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING IS THE ONE I'M REFERRING TOO. *TR
