Limp mode @ 3.5k rpm; no cel

cosmicdust73 · 08-23-2012, 06:38 PM

So I took my car in for its 1,000 mile oil consumption test. It failed miserably! Oil was 10mm down or something like that. The car is a 2009 370z Touring with only 47k on it and it needs a new short block. It's been in the shop for over a week now. They're basically tearing everything out and putting it all back together again. I'm really not going to trust this vehicle once I get it back. I'm basically driving it straight to another dealer to trade it in. The sad part is that Nissan will not even extend my warranty. I'm thinking about calling corporate to see what they can do. A 3 yr old car needing a new engine sounds like a bit of bullsh** to me. Funny thing is that the service department told me another Z owner just took his car into the shop for the same exact problem... only it was a 2006 350z. You would think after all of these years... maybe Nissan would design an engine that does not have oil consumption issues.
