| Description of the problem | Vehicle was stationary. Original battery went dead in 2012, additional batteries installed in 2013, 2014, 2015 by the dealer and towed to the dealer. Aaa installed batteries in 2016 and may of 2018., i did not go back to the dealer. Dealer told me first time was due to the weather, then they told me i was not putting enough miles on my car, they installed a larger battery and this one also went dead. I did tell the dealer this was a huge safety concern for me because most of the time i travel alone both in-state and out-of state, if memory serves me correctly this is when the dealer installed a larger battery and this one also went dead. Diagnostic testing by the dealer and mechanic showed nothing but something electrical is causing so many batteries to go dead.. I also told nissan usa this was a huge safety concern for me. Nissan usa told me there were no recalls which i already knew and they would not do a buyback or repair. Because out of warranty, this they had offered to check into for me, plus the dealer never offered this to me after replacing so many batteries. All i have for backup are my receipts which i didn't attach, if needed please let me know. Mechanic did tell me if battery goes dead again to give him a call and he would come to try and see if he could find what was the cause in the electrical system. This didn't happen because battery went dead on a saturday and found out when i called monday he also got married over this weekend and was on his honeymoon, but monday they had my car for 3 days. I am thankful so far my car and not gone dead when driving. Thank you. |
