| Description of the problem | The rear door on the 2009 nissan cube does not open. I filed a report with nissan who advised me to take it to a dealer for inspection, and then file a claim, as the vehicle was out of warranty. The dealer, grubbs nissan inspected the vehicle on april-11-2014, and found a defective latching mechanism which needs repair at a total cost of $392. They also opined that this was a safety issue. Nissan however refused to pay for the repairs, saying the vehicle was out of warranty. They did not accept this was a safety issue, as opined by the dealer. They also do not accept several similar complaints on this nissan model that appear on publicly available search engines. |
