| Description of the problem | Sunday october 2, 2011 my car began leaking oil unexpectedly. Immediately my car was taken to a mechanic where he diagnosed that the oil cooler was leaking and needed to be replaced. I was advised not to drive my car as it was losing too much oil. I contacted coggin nissan at the avenues (904-880-3000), spoke with jason in the parts department, i explained what was happening with my vehicle and he informed me that he has seen quite a few cars the same make and model as mine with the same exact issue. I strongly feel there is a defect in this part since so many cars like mine are having the same problem. I feel this issue should become part of a recall and nissan should reimburse me for the price of the part. Up until now i have been very satisfied with my nissan. This has caused me a great deal of stress and money i do not have as i am a single mother with a young child to support. I really appreciate you looking into this for me. |
