| Description of the problem | On january 10, 2014, i went to get an oil change and was told there may be an oil pan leak by the lube center in frederick md. I didn't really think much of it didn't have any other problems. My car now is making a chaining like noise when driving and i went to get an oil change on 6/20/14 at sunoco in frederick , md they say it is a massive oil leak and that my car will catch fire at the engine if it is not fixed, they could not locate the oil leak and it was not from the oil pan but it needs to be fixed right away. I am afraid that the car will explode, i have children and i have one on the way. I see that there was a recall for this problem at one point but it is closed and many people are going through this now with there vehicle. I still have to pay 7,000 on this vehicle before it is paid off. I took it to nissan but they will not fix it because the recall is no longer open. |
