| Description of the problem | Stranded at night in parking lot 10/30 due to car not starting. Had car towed to nissan and repaired 10/31 (steering wheel lock column malfunction). Cost 800+$. Not covered in warranty, although the warranty extension letter states: "nissan believes majority of its owners will not experience this unique condition" contradictory, if you ask me. The next day (october 31) the car would no longer accelerate. Had it towed back to nissan dealer, where they said i was missing a transmission fuse? Did not charge me to replace said missing fuse. |
