Nobody at the dealer or Nissan took ownership of the problem and we decided that wasn't acceptable to keep screwing around.
Even if a dealer offers engine replacement in one of the first couple visits you aren't "required" to accept that offer. At least in WA the law states that the repair has to be acceptable to the consumer, i.e. can't decrease the value or reliability of the car. Putting a non matched engine in there will seriously decrease the value. Therefore that option would not be acceptable to me. I didn't buy a brand new car so they could monkey around putting a new engine in there and not have vins match. Not only would it take the hit from now being a used car but also another hit from what could be considered a "rebuilt" vehicle.
I personally would not buy a car that had an engine or other major parts replaced.
