| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2009 nissan altima 2 years ago and the vehicle has being nothing but problems since the beginning, on top of that the maintenance is very costly if you take it to the dealer. I take my car to ase certified mechanics at pep-boys and the labor is allot cheaper than dealer pricing, my car has always being maintained by the schedule maintenance according to the owners manual and recently i had my transmission service by the pep-boys and they sell by my standards better quality oil like valvoline cvt oil being that i saved some money through pep-boys they did the service and everything went well till recently my tranny, went out and hey blamed the oil wasn't the right color according to the nissan tech, now i want to know how can valvoline sell a certified nissan product to millions of consumers and they say it's not covered under the mfg, warranty. |
