| Description of the problem | 2014 pathfinder started emitting lots of white smoke from tailpipe almost out of nowhere. Took it to the dealer and they said that it needed a new engine. Asked for a better explanation, and they said that fluids are getting into the cylinders and that the only solution was a new engine. Very short, would not explain any further. The car is about 5 months out of warranty, but under the warranty mileage. They said i could take the issue up with nissan directly and maybe they would help out. I kept up with my oil changes, kept fluids topped off. I'm completely besides myself with this problem. It has to be a manufacturing problem. Hoping to find that this is a recurring issue that nissan is familiar with and deciding to own up to. |
