Gotttta be a spun bearing. The description sounds exactly like my buddy’s RSX-S when it spun a bearing. He drove it for a bit with it still making noise and it got louder, as you said yours is, then it took a shit. Sucks. ---

Edit: Or that ^^^^ She’s only had it for 10kmi. Maybe the previous owner abused the crap out of it? Probably thought, “Hey, it’s a Honda. They are ultra reliable. I’ll just drive it and fill it with gas. Shouldn’t have to do anything else.” ---

I’ve actually heard from a few of the guys (reading their discussions not actually talking to them about it) that build motors in the Maxima community that that myth isn’t exactly true. Is it good for the motor? Probably not. But is it lethal for the motor? They say no it’s not. Tricia, your motor was probably neglected by the previous owner.

Not really. Make that act known to them, they will have to prove it. If they can prove it and you still want to fight it, THEN you go to court. They will probably realize you aren’t retarded and be more honest once they know that you know about the Warranty Act and aren’t some fool off the street who puts random crap on their car and doesn’t know the brake pedal from the gas pedal. ---

I have a friend in NYC who got a BRAND NEW engine from Nissan thanks to that act. No court necessary. They tried blaming his oil-drinking issues (a small % of VQ35DE’s had the issue) on something that ended up being totally unrelated and he got a new motor. You have to go in there with the proper info and demeanor. If you go in there yellin and talkin bout this act, of course you won’t make out. It’s all about communication skills. That’s the only shot he has right now anyway. It’s worth a shot.
