Nissan Recall ****nissan Owners Read****
Nissan has anounced that it will immediately cease production and sales of the Altima and Sentra models, and recall thousands of cars.
Seems the new cars burn up the engine oil in the piston firing chambers, followed by complete engine failure and fire. Well, isn't that special.
Reports of owners burned (in the literal sense as well as financial).
If you own an altima or sentra or even a maxima call your dealership and ask and be safe. I was un able to locate any website for this on the net but nissan has sent out letters!!!!

after reading the article NO ONE IS GOING TO CHECK MOTOR OIL AFTER 700 MILES. It's a new car, just buy it back and life goes on. It uses the same 3.5 as the Nissan 350Z so why would those cars not have issues?
EDIT: Most of Nissans parts are imported from there respected countries the HQ resides in.

off topic a bit. Anyone seen the NEW M5 yet ? It has a button that you press that adds 100 hp. Im wondering if this is by way of N20 or just by way of activating more cylinder on the v10.

funny thing... remeber how GM was touting the Camaro as American as rock n roll? They were made in St Therese Quebec... bitter bitter irony.
