| Description of the problem | I found out a faulty engineered control valve assembly caused radiator and transmission failure in my vehicle. It happened less then a month outside & 7000 mi over the extended warranty. Extension for the warranty to 80,000 was put in place for a class action law suit for this item back in 2010. In 2010 my vehicle did not even have 50,000 so none of this applied to me! Nor did nissan do the right thing and recall my truck prior knowing this part fails after 80000! All the people this happens to after this law suit went down are out of luck because too much time has passed. So, i as a consumer who takes care of their vehicle and keeps low miles, has to pay big money to fix this problem! I called nissan headquarters to do the right thing. They said because of the judgment of the class action law suit, they can not honor my request to do the right thing. I have to pay $2500 to fix my truck! I asked if i had to sue independently and take to twitter to help my cause? The gal on the other end of the phone (highest person up the chain i could reach) said; "yes mam, i'm sorry mam, but i guess that's what you have to do. My hands are tied by this judgment i can do nothing for you"! I feel completely ripped off and deceived by nissan!!! Is there a possibility you can come to my aid and direct me how i may get this covered? This has become a major hardship! |
