Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Engine should've shut off or give warning sign that oil from the oil filler came out andsplattered all over engine causing a engine fire which could've injured or killed someone this happened because someone must've left the oil filler cap off or didn't tighten cap,all mechanics told me the car should've shut off or warning light should've came on. Also the location of oil filler is in a bad spot it's on the middle of the engine with lots of plastic covers over engine,most engines the oil filler is on side of engine so oil doesn't spill on top of engine . The engine is a 2. 5 liter engine . The engine runs very hot and with all the plastic parts and any oil spilling it can easily catch fire . I think nissan should install a oil filler cap sensor to avoid potential engine fires. Car is being repaired now from insurance claim but nissan refused to reimburse any fincancial offer or a replacement car,since i brought the car brand new 6 months ago . I think someone should investigate this,a simple fix like a oil cap sensor could prevent fires and save lives
