ENGINE
THE CAR HEAVILY BURNS OIL, THIS CAR AS WELL AS MANY OTHER CARS IN THE NISSAN LINE-UP WERE GIVEN THE VQ35DE MOTOR WHICH IS WELL KNOWN FOR BURNING OIL. I AM REQUIRED TO CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 3000 MILES BECAUSE IT BURNS A LOT OF OIL. I FILL UP THE ENGINE 5 QUARTS WHICH IS ABOVE RECOMMENDED BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO RISK RUNNING MY ENGINE DRY OF OIL BECAUSE IT GETS BURNED. EVERY 3000 MILES I GET RID OF ABOUT 2.8 QUARTS WHEN I START OFF WITH 5 QUARTS EACH OIL CHANGE. I ONLY DO CITY DRIVING AND NOT LONG DISTANCE DRIVING. MANY OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES ARE ALSO PLAGUED WITH THIS OIL BURNING ISSUE.

STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE ESCL (ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK) FAILING. NISSAN IS OFFERING TO REPLACE FREE OF CHARGE FOR VEHICLES WITH CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS (NHTSA #10119190, NISSAN CAMPAIGN ID PC516). HOWEVER, NISSAN HAS STATED THAT MY VIN# IS NOT PART OF THE PROGRAM. NISSAN HAS ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE NHTSA SET THE PARAMETERS FOR THE VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN, AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF IT IS TRUE THE NHTSA SET THE VIN# PARAMETERS FOR THIS PROGRAM, AND IF SO WHY MY CAR, WHICH HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES, IS NOT INCLUDED. IF IT IS NOT TRUE THAT THE NHTSA SET THE PARAMETERS, WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL LIABILITIES NISSAN FACES IN BLAMING THE PROBLEM ON THE NHTSA. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. .IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING, AND HAS POTENTIAL TO STRAND DRIVERS IN POTENTIALLY HARMFUL SITUATIONS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY COMPLAINTS IS DUE TO THE CHEAP STEAL THAT NISSAN USES TO BUILD THERE VEHICLES JUST TO SAVE A BUCK. WHEN I TAKE MY CAR IN FOR AN INSPECTION AND IT FAILED BECAUSE THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR PANEL HAS HOLES IN THE THE FLOOR THAT YOU COULD STEP RIGHT TRHU. THAT IS NOT THE ONLY ROT FROM RUST THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE UP FRONT HAS ROTTED SO BAD THAT THE PART OF THE FRAME THAT HOLDS THE MOTOR IN THE VEHICLE HAS ROTTED SO BAD THAT THE INSPECTOR WAS WORRIED ABOUT ME DRIVING HOME AFTER I HAD FAILED THE INSPECTION. THIS WAS DISCOVERED BY A MECHANIC THAT WAS GOING TO FIX MY EXHAUST UP FRONT. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN AND THIS CAR WITH A REAL FRAME ON IT WOULD HAVE LASTED MANY MORE YEARS AND I JUST DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO RUN OUT AND BUY A NEW CAR. THIS IS THE MANUFACTURES FAULT AND THEY SHOULD BE PAYING FOR IT TO BE FIXED. SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THEY HAD ON ALL OF THOSE PICKUPS THAT THEY HAD TO FIX. WHAT IS THIS GOING TO THAT THE MOTOR TO FALL OUT ON THE HIGH WAY AND KILL SOMEONE. THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPANY GOING ON FOR YEARS. SOMEONE DO SOMETHING FOR THE CONSUMER. AFTER PAYING $40,000.00 DOLLARS FOR THIS CAR I THOUGHT I WOULD GET MORE OUT OF IT THAN HAVING IT ROT OUT FROM UNDER ME.
