ill do an update monday with pics on the lift if they let me in the garage.

Damn, is this under warranty?
I know most dealer's would void it. lol
That sucks if you have to pay out of your own pockets...
Sorry to hear this, I know how it feels.

B.A.Q · 05-08-2011, 02:47 AM

don't worry man it should be covered

from what you wrote in your signature nothing should drops the warranty

I am so sorry to see this, and at such low miles!!! But as awful as it sounds, i love the photo and reference to a murder scene.... Victim on the stretcher, lifeblood strewn across the road, what looks like a possible weapon laying a few feet away. Very creative shot in such a horrible moment. I hope Nissan takes care of you!

JTTZR · 05-08-2011, 04:16 AM

Good luck, buddy. Might not be as bad as it looks. Even if it is I don;t believe Nissan will get away with putting the blame on you.

Keeping my fingers x'd for you.

Good luck with the warranty service, man. Hopefully they won't hassle you.

Lemers · 05-08-2011, 07:35 AM

There's always a bright side. If You engine is dead and Nissan won't pay, then you can go for an engine swap. Put the most powerful engine at will fit in you car

This might prove key to determining what the hell happened.

Keep us updated.

I don't think most dealers would refuse service for bolt ons.

Yeah, because it's just that easy to swap engines in our car.

with enough time and money any engine could go in there sure. I think his point was it's not very realistic...

You need to research the laws in Canada to see what law protects you as a consumer. There is one here in the U.S. I can't think of the name as of right now, but it is to protect the consumer in a situation of this sort. In any case where modifications are put on a vehicle and there is a malfunction of any sort the dealership can not blame it on said added parts. i.e. installing an after market exhaust then all of a sudden you have electrical problems. The two are not connected but some dealers like to push the unknowing consumer around and say your warranty is voided b/c of the mod. If you are that worried about it I would remove said parts and put the factory parts back on.
Also included in this act the company must prove that which exact part did what damage. I haven't had something this severe happen and hopefully I won't but I'm sure like most people here they have had their disputes with Nissan. Keep your head up and you will get a new engine. Worst case scenario if they can salvage your engine they will which isn't a bad thing either.
