I took the truck to another mechanic who said a. He got several different stories from the nissan mechanics, b. In his opinion nissan had never taken the clutch apart to look at it therefore how could they tell it was driver error and c. In his opinion the materials used to make the truck were too soft. How can i get nissan to admit that this was a factory defect and pay for repairs? *jb |
