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.
