Nissan service center wrecked my car

100% you need a new motor. Your engine has either seized or has serious internal damage. I suggest you call Nissan North America and alert them to this incompetent service

I suggest you call Nissan North America and alert them to this incompetent service while you're still waiting on the dealer. Start chirping in the Service Manager's ear that he better replace your engine as well.

Sorry to hear what happened. Try to negotiate and ask for a new engine. The ball is in your side so keep that in mind!

Agree with this added: Free maintenance for life, or a new car. The car is worth less with a replacement engine.

Sorry for the crap you are dealing with.

First off, wait and see what the dealer response is. I think will step up the plate and do the right thing but providing you with a new short block, complimentary loaner, and warrantied engine or provide you with a trade-in allowance for a new car. Best case scenario

In the meantime, I wouldn't publicize too much information on a public forum, rather, document all the details and speak to the a lawyer in case if you have to fight with Nissan Corporate. Hopefully, this will resolved with without any drama, but you need to do your homework, and make sure you are kept up to date from the dealer.
