| Description of the problem | The engine cooling assembly on the nissan altima from 2007-2012 after they reach a certain amount of mileage they begin to start leaking oil. It starts off with just a couple of drips and over time it progressively gets worse. There are a numerous number of individuals online asking if others with the same type of vehicle are having the same problem. So obviously there is a faulty part that was installed on these vehicles that nissan is avoiding the real significance of the issue. Which can cause your vehicle to lose all the engine oil without realizing it and damaging your engine. I am one of those individuals having the same issue on my vehicle, wanting nissan to take responsibility for these costs. The replacement of the engine oil cooling assembly is quite costly. This part is a part that can't be damaged by human error, it is tucked away underneath the engine . Thank you |
