| Description of the problem | Purchased a new 2013 alitima almost 8 years ago. On jan 17, 2021, as i was driving, others were honking their horns and as i turned into a dim street, i wasn't able to see ahead of me. Very scary as i could have hit neighbors who are walking in the evening after dark. No longer comfortable driving at night. Dealer said although i purchased the gold preffered extended warranty, that this issue is not covered. I opened a case at nissan consumer complaints and they said sorry but there are no recalls and the warranty won't cover it. $1305. 63 is way too much that i would have to pay for a safety issue. |
