I recently had a bad experience with my local Nissan dealership, yes you guessed it they left the oil filler cap off. After approx five days driving I experienced total power loss, then I pulled in and found that the filler cap was lying on top of the intercooler (Nissan Navara 2.5DI) and the dip stick completely clean. I had the vehicle recovered to the dealership where I normally get it serviced, anyway cutting a long story short they are claiming that they are not responsible and said that I should have smelt, seen or heard something and it would not have covered 569 miles since its service. Needless to say I was completely oblivious to what was going on under the bonnet, I wound'nt expect any problems since I had it serviced so recently.
Has anyone on the group had any similar experience and if so I would be grateful if you can you tell me if you were aware that anything was wrong and what sort of distance did your vehicle travel before grinding to a halt. (make and model appreciated)
Thanks in advance
