2011 Nissan Versa Engine Problems

“Approximately 2 months after I purchased my 2011 Nissan Versa I noticed a knocking sound under the hood. It almost sounded as though the car was low of oil but this wasn't the case. I took it to the Nissan dealership and was told that the valves or valve sleeves were cut too long during the machining process of the motor and they were tapping against the bottom of the motor .

After two diagnostic tests and an oil change at $140.00, my husband was told that it needed a new engine. It is burning oil and is being emitted out the exhaust and has excessive engine blow by. …”
