| Description of the problem | This particular issue was detected definitely around 1 year of ownership of my at then brand new 2013 altima which was purchased 12/2013, that my rear shocks were leaking. Have not to this date gotten them fixed because it costs too much and i'm told it is not covered under any warranty. Out of all the times i've taken my vehicle in, this problem has only been brought to my attention 2 times. If service was really doing their job it would be noted each time i visit. In any case, another problem with my so-called "new" vehicle. My poor passengers have a very rough ride and is affecting my braking where it delays my stop. I continue fighting with nissan (both dealer where purchase was made and corp) and nothing. I didn't get into a sales contract for a new vehicle where i have to have major parts replaced every 6 mo-1 year. My payments are high enough without having the headaches of this vehicle. |
