I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA, ON 6/9/2010 THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED MY OIL AND THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY ENGINE. I CONTACTED NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO TELL THEM OF THE ISSUE AND CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS ABOUT IT. I WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECK OUT. I PURCHASE 2 QUARTS OF OIL ON 6/9/2010 IN WHICH I STILL HAVE THE RECEIPT FOR. I PUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN MY VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 6/15/2010. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE RUNNING A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ON IT BECAUSE SOME OF THE 2006 NISSAN ALTIMAS HAD A RECALL FOR A OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM DUE TO FAULTY PISTON RINGS WHICH I BELIEVE CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO HAVE A BAD CAT CONVERTER. I CONTACTED THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT TO FIND OUT IF MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE RECALL AND I WAS TOLD NO. I TRULY BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS ONE OF THE RECALL VEHICLE BECAUSE WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK ON 7/7/2010 I WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND MEASURED UNDER 20 FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I WOULD LIKE A INVESTIGATION TO BE CONDUCTED BECAUSE NISSAN HAS MISLEAD ALOT OF CONSUMERS ABOUT THEIR VEHICLES BEING IN THE RECALL BUT LATER AFTER ABOUT 80,000 MILES AFTER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY EXPIRES THEN THE VEHICLE STARTS EXPERIENCE THESE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD ON 7/7/2010 BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT HE WILL PUT A CLAIM THROUGH TO THE EXTENDED SERVICE AGREEMENT DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE NECESSARY REPAIRS WHICH IS TO GIVE MY VEHICLE A NEW ENGINE DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED SERVICE AGREEMENT WARRANTY FREE OF CHARGE. I AM AWAITING A DECISION. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE COULD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND I CAN BE KILLED INSTANTLY ALONG WITH MY FAMILY AND OTHERS. ALL 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA'S NEED TO BE RECALLED TO BE TESTED FOR THIS OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM DUE TO FAULTY PISTON RINGS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT HAD BEEN WORKING FINE UP UNTIL YESTERDAY. WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK YESTERDAY, MY CAR JUST STALLED AT A STOPLIGHT AND THEN IT WAS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO GET IT RESTARTED. THEREAFTER, MY CAR WOULD STALL AT EVERY STOPLIGHT AND STOP SIGN. THE DRIVERS THAT WERE BEHIND ME WERE CLEARLY UPSET AND FRUSTRATED AND ONE DRIVER ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTOZONE SO THEY COULD HOOK IT UP TO THEIR ANALYSIS COMPUTER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS MY CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE A CAR THAT JUST STALLS FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN A FAULTY SENSOR IS UNACCEPTABLE. IN ADDITION, I DID A WEB SEARCH AND FOUND THAT MAY PEOPLE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE SAME SENSOR. *TR
