Description of the problem | My 2002 nissan altima has complete loss of power while driving on three separate occasions, twice i lost control of car and miraculously avoided a crash. I have been told that the problem was repaired the second time having it towed to the dealership. I no longer feel safe placing my children in this car. This car is a death trap, i'm surprised the government (lemon law) requires a total of 5 times same occurrence,report after the third time, then the dealership has another shot of repair #4, only then, they will consider replacement or buy back , after 5th time of engine failure. This to me is russian roulette, the worse part is , i'm paying for it (car pymt.)who is it that actually chose the criteriia for the lemon laws? And whose favor are they in ? The consumer and their families at risk, or the multi-billion dollar a year car manufacturers? I want a safe car!!!! And i want to be treated like the lives of my children matter and we're not just another number. Would mr. Ghosn (nissan ceo), drive his children in a car that has total power loss while driving, resulting in loss of control?? Do i paint big lemons on the side of my car,what does it take to get someone's attention, a death??? Feel free to contact me kimflink@yahoo. Com *la |
