OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. I LOSE AT LEAST 1 QT EVERY 1,000 MILES. DEALER DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND CLAIMS IT ONLY LOST 2 QTS IN 3,500 MILES. THEY ZIP TIED EVERYTHING SO I COULD NOT CHECK IT MYSELF. WHEN I CHECK THE OIL MYSELF IT ALWAYS LOSES AT LEAST 1 QT FOR EVERY 1,000 MILES DRIVEN. THE DEALER LIED BUT STILL FORWARDED MY CLAIM TO INFINITI CORPORATE. I NEVER HEARD FROM THEM SO I CALLED THEM MYSELF AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY CAR IS A MANUAL AND I READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS NOT FORCE RECALLED BY THE GOVERNMENT? ENGINE COULD SEIZE ON A HIGHWAY AND CAUSE A COLLISION. *TR

CERTAIN VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE "VERTICAL GRADIENT" AND "HEADLAMP PHOTOMETRIC VALUES" REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, 'LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT.'
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS STANDARD IS TO REDUCE CRASHES, INJURIES AND DEATHS BY PROVIDING ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION OF THE ROADWAY, AND BY ENHANCING THE CONSPICUITY OF MOTOR VEHICLES ON THE PUBLIC ROADS SO THAT THEIR PRESENCE IS PERCEIVED AND THEIR SIGNALS UNDERSTOOD, BOTH IN DAYLIGHT AND IN DARKNESS OR OTHER CONDITIONS OF REDUCED VISIBILITY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT APRIL 16, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
