| Description of the problem | Truly cant believe nissan consumer affairs, on 6/30/2015, my electric steering column lock went out. I called consumer affairs on 6/30/2015, to see if its part of this extended warranty, ( which i found out though google), rep explain mine expired on 6/3/2015, and i needed to tow it to dealership. Which i did, and found out that was the problem, so i called back on 6/30/2015, and ask since it was less than a month will they help with the cost. On 7/1/2015, i had to call 4 times and message nissan though facebook to even get a call back from the regional consumer affair agent, when she finally called back an hour before the dealership service dept. Closes, she explain they wouldn't help with any cost. The cost to fix this problem, that nissan knew about since 2009, would be 1,000 dollars. Personally i don't have the money to fix it, at this point of time it is sitting at the dealership, i'm missing work everyday because of an issue that could have been avoided if nissan took responsibility of there failure. |
