First, I love this car! I purchased this car for myself March 09 base manual pearl white with sports package. I avoid driving behind anyone without mud flaps. I’m that guy that parks way out there away from it all. I hand wash & dry it with only my hand.
So, the car has had 4 oil changes all done buy Nissan. I took car in at 11k because the loud slapping sounds at start up coming from the engine. The Service Mgr requested servicing records when and where last oil change was done. The Servicing Mgr stated the vehicle had practically no oil. I became upset the fact I didn’t check this. My last oil change was done at the Dealer and it was a disaster. I will never go to that Nissan Dealership again. There Service Departing has a 1 star rating when I googled them, anyway they curbed my rear wheel in 3 separate locations while fixing a nail in the tire my rear tire and dented the rocker panel. They offered to resurface the wheel and gave me touchup paint. I called Nissan Consumer Affairs and they did not believe me nor care point blank. I also called BBB and I got a call from the GM. The resolution was swapping parts from a new Z.
So Nissan is now undergoing an oil consumption test and I am advised to drive 1K and report back. I drove the car normally as daily commute to work. I noticed a loss in power and the noise came before 1k was completed. Service dept stated oil is low again and if it were a millimeter lower the engine would be replaced. The car had to be toped off to redo the oil consumption test. I called Nissan Consumer Affairs again and I told them I no longer want the car and requested them to buy it back, they stated that’s not practical and its under warranty. Perhaps I’m not being reasonable. I am that guy!
