| Description of the problem | The oil fill spout came off the valve head cover resulting in massive oil spill. I was lucky i discovered it after a short trip to the store. Both pieces are made of plastic and poorly glued together with something that resembles silicone. It had completely deteriorated (the car has 49,000 miles on it) . Very disappointed that nissan wouldn't spend another 15 cents and hold these pieces together with a clamp of some sort. I had just come back from a 650 mile trip, if this would have happened on the highway the engine would have ceased up or the car might have gone up in flames. |
