| Description of the problem | When i tried to start my car it was completely dead. Everything was locked up. Aaa towed it to the dealer where it has been for 9 days. The auto manager at ed howard nissan in venice, fl told me another altima is there for the same problem. Nissan cannot tell me how long i will have to wait for the part to come in. Instead of recalling the car, nissan gave this particular part a million mile warranty. Most frustrating is both the nissan dealer and nissan corporate relations have refused to provide a loaner or reimburse me for a rental while i continue to wait for my car to be fixed. Bad situation all around. |
