The material from inside damaged pre-catalyst entered engine causing engine failure. Is Nissan going to repair my engine? There have been thousands of Nissans with this problem. Should I hire an attorney to help me?

I am filling this out on my mother's behalf. I am sorry I do not have more information. I can get if I pressure her to give it up. But she has been victimized by this company and is giving up because she is mentally drained. Basically, what happened is that the car broke down while on a drive across country, out of state. The part (transmission) needed to fix the car took about a month to come in. We had to rent a car to complete the trip and get home on time. The $850.00 in rental fees are not going to be reimbursed by Nissan. This car already in its short life had a muffler break apart and disintegrate. Our trusted mechanic couldn't get a new muffler because Nissan hadn't made one yet. So, he had to fabricate one. He said that he never saw anything like this! The car is only a 2007!
My transmission just went at 142,000 miles. I just replaced the mounts exactly a year ago. The engine was replaced at 100,000 miles.
I own three Nissans and you would think the newest one would be the best, but this 2005 Maxima has turned out to be total crap. Nissan should totally do a recall.
I purchased a lemon vehicle. The Nissan dealer is not admitting they are at fault. The vehicle purchased is a 2008 Nissan Versa 4dr Hatchback.
Since the odometer read 11000k miles, the vehicle started acting up with the fuel system. There are records to back this information regarding reoccurring service with the same problems in the system.
A few times they have replaced the fuel pressure regulator along with the pressure pump, sometimes stalling out in the middle of the intersections causing a hazard on the road. I have asked the dealership to exchange the vehicle due to its fleet defects. "Again, no response or solution."
I bought my 2002 Nissan in 2004 right before starting my second year in college. The car had about 36,000 miles on it, pretty much new. The car ran perfectly fine just up to about 110,000 miles and then everything started going wrong. The check engine light came on because of a bad catalytic converter, transmission went out. I've blown two head gaskets and I am on my 2nd engine. On the first engine, the timing chain came apart and completely destroyed the engine at 150,000 miles. Of course, there is also the oil consumption problem.
I looked for recalls and help but there was absolutely nothing from Nissan. I've shopped around for a catalytic converter but because such stringent law in California, I can't order one online and take it to my mechanic. Instead, I have to take my car to the dealer and there is no way I am ever giving another dollar to Nissan because of their horrible business practice.
The funny thing is I bought this car because I had a positive view about Nissan because my father had a Nissan truck that ran perfectly fine well into the high 270,000 miles with no problems. We even sold the truck and the person we sold it to still drives it to this day. I guess they literally don't make them like they use too.
I'm very frustrated. My transmission is slipping as well, it is horrible. I took it to the dealer and heard the same story about the motor mounts. I'm frustrated with Nissan. They were touted to have the best cars on the road. In fact with costly items like the transmission, it has become much less desirable. Something needs to be done about the transmission.
On several occasions, I spoke with the dealership as well as with the North America Headquarters. The radiator cracked and is leaking coolant into my transmission. This has destroyed my transmission. After finding out that there were several other complaints with regards to this same issue, I contacted my local dealer. I found out that there are about 2 other recalls on the truck too, in which they never notified me. Shawn, at the local Sheey Nissan, recommended that I call North America to try to get assistance before bringing the truck in for service.
So I did. I spoke with Julie in North America. I tried to get assistance with this defect that they are aware of. They apparently put out an extended warranty for the issue to be fixed but that only went up to 80,000 miles and never notified the owners of the vehicles. I was told that I would have to pay for an official diagnosis before they would even submit for assistance. So, I took my truck in and paid $117 for an official diagnosis of what I already knew was going on. I then called Julie back and again, attempted to get assistance to pay for the costly repairs, $7000 in parts through Nissan.
Needless to say, Nissan was unable to assist at this time. Surprise! What a joke. This is my 4th Nissan and it will be my last. I will never recommend a Nissan to anyone. I had issues with the paint bubbling and peeling after only 2 years and they wouldn't claim that either, as well as several other minor incidents. I feel like they are thieves and I will be sure to let everyone else know along with all of the other Nissan owners!
I bought my car in May of 2010. Within a month or 3,000 miles later, car stalled on the way to California from Phoenix. The engine just shut down right in the middle of the freeway, really scary as I had my whole family in there. We had the car towed to the nearest dealer and they replaced a bad crank sensor. Another 7,000 miles and five months later, same thing happens. The car stalls, towed to dealer - again because of bad crank sensor. I have been scared to drive it ever since except for just short trips around town. The dealer just shrugged shoulders. This is **. A brand new car and POS has a recurrent catastrophic failure. This is my first and the last Nissan. I should have bought a Toyota Tacoma instead. I am seriously thinking about taking a small hit and trading the car.
My fuel gauge is reading wrong. I know that there is a recall on the part, but Nissan didn't alert people right away when this happened. We just received a notice on this recall two days ago. The recall has been in effect since March. They have put a cap on the mileage and since we didn't get notified of the recall in time, our vehicle doesn't fit the time frame. I believe this is wrong on Nissan's behalf; this was their wrong doing not ours. I have read several other complaints from other owners about this same problem. I believe that they should fix this problem. My truck could read that I have gas and I actually don't, which in turn could cause me or a loved one to have an accident. Please help with this problem.
