| Description of the problem | on june 30 my nissan frontier broke down. I had it towed to the webster nissan office. I spoke with brian at nissan on july 1st and he told me that my truck would either be fixed on july 7/3 or 7/8. The part that caused the issue is safety recall from 2003 that is an issue with fuel sensor in the gas tank. I contacted 1-800-nissan1 on 7/3 in search of a loaner car until they could get my truck fixed. Ginger at 1-800-nissan1 opened a ticket and told me some one would contact after the holiday weekend. I spoke catherine the region representative for nissan on 7/7 and she said that nissan will not provide a loaner car because my is off warranty. I explained to her the reason my truck broke down was because safety recall part that nissan was responsible for. She said again nissan will not provide me car. After i spoke with catherine : on 7/7 brian informed me the parts they needed are on back order and it could take ninety days to get the part. I contacted 1-800-nissan1 again and told them about the back order on the parts. They had catherine contact me 7/8 and she message at home that they will try to get the part soon. I called catherine back on 7/8 and ask to call me back. Catherine called me 7/9/08 and told me nissan still would not provide me a loaner car even though it's nissan's fault.
