Sound familiar? Like a script from a horror film, these Altimas seem doomed to fail around 95k miles.

It was burning oil before when I had only 69648 miles on it, but now it burns about 2 quart of oil in every 4000 miles. I replaced the engine and transmission, but still it has that same problem. Really pain in the ass.
