I took my car to Auto Way Nissan of Brandon and I was told my car had a lot of engine sludge (for lack of oil changes) and that I would need a new motor. My car has very low miles and I didn't believe the car had any engine sludge for lack of oil changes. I had oil changes performed on my car. So I took my car to be checked out by another mechanic and was told that nothing was wrong with my car. They just performed an oil change and MY CAR WAS FINE!!!!!!!! I am VERY VERY VERY upset because I was lied too. I have brought a total of three Nissan automobiles from auto way Nissan of Brandon and I would think if I had a problem with my car and if it was still under warranty they would need for fix the issue. I love the Nissan brand, but if Nissan will not stand behind its products then I believe when it is time for an upgrade I will look elsewhere...

Altima V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 39,000 miles

We buy it in 2007 with 3 or 4 miles on it. Price-$30,000 Has navigation,bluetooth,heated leather interior,back up camera,moon roof,V-6 engine,automatic,6 CD changer,Bose sound system,color is a beautiful pearl white. My dream car.Our 4th Altima. We traded about every two years. I am a real estate agent so this car was driven quite a bit but we took very good care of it. We may have missed a few oil changes,but did not neglect it.

No problems at all until around 39,000 miles on it the Check Engine Soon light comes on. My husband checks the oil. It is a bit low and looks a little dirty so he puts in a small amount of oil and says he will change oil the very next day.Well as soon as he puts in the oil and starts it,smoke ROLLS ou of the tail pipes! Every time it sat for a while and then you start it smoke rolls out of it. Sometimes when you came to a stop and then accelerated smoke would roll out of it.

It is now at the dealership. They say we neglected oil changes and since we don't have all receipts showing where and when he had bought oil and a log of when he changed it that Nissan will not honor the warranty. It will cost $300 to fix. This is mind boggling!

Altima 2.5 S 4 Cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 57,474 miles

I am still with my problem. My car is under warranty and Nissan Motor, not the car dealership. My car burns excessive oil and smokes like a train. Nissan Motors will not honor warranty due to not enough receipts for oil changes. Well the car was purchased 2007 and its 2010; who keep receipts for oil change when the car is under warranty. As I review consumer complaints since 2002 the problem still goes on and nothing is done about it. I would like to hear from anyone with problems where Nissan will not honor their warranty. My email address is connie.thymes@yahoo.com. ONLY serious consumers that wanna fight for what's right.

Altima SE 2.5L V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles

Burns a quart of oil every 300 miles! Car is less than 2 years old, 70,000 miles. Will smoke sometime, sometimes not? Also the heater will not blow towards feet; only blows through upper vents; keep my feet freezing!
