| Description of the problem | Vechile is 2000 nissian frontier crew cab se. 10-04 got recall notice on fuel system gasoline fuel pump. Took truck in was told no crack or corrosion so was told they put a sealent on it. Procedure per recall i have. Recall # is 04v230000. On 6-15 truck stop working in major intersection was almost hit from behind. Truck towed to nissian 6-1605 and was told it was this part that was cracked and had lots of corrosion on it, but i would have to pay for it since recall was for sealent only. Not acceptable. Was told that nebraska is not a salt state so the sealent would work. What the heck do these people think we use for the ice and snow we have here? Sorry. People at my dealership were the best. They really tried to go to bat for me but their hands are tied as well. They were told it was a company policy. I am really upset. I called the 800 # for nissian and got no where. Hell they would not give me a a street addr for me to send a certified letter to and they would not tell me who the ceo was. I got some women on the phone who just gave me the run around and said she would open a file. What ever that means. I believe these people are responsible for this part. They new it was bad in the begining. It says so on their website. Nebraska a no salt state. Where do these people think nebraska is, the tropics? Sorry. I wish to issue a formal complaint. I do not want anyone else to have to go through this nor if their engine stops i would hate for a fatlity to take place. I would think they would want to prevent that my self. I am a resonalbe person with a great sense of humor but my humor and my patientce is running very low. I hope to hear from someone on your end as soon as possible. Thank you laural. |
