| Description of the problem | When the car had about 60 thousand miles i went to the dealership because i felt like there was something wrong in the way car started to drive. I asked for paper work of the inspection but was not provided instead got the estimate of things that were not important at that time had noting to do with the issue i was having with the car. After a while i had to use that vehicle my only car,it start slipping on the gears. Car had about 98 thousand on it!! And little after that transmission went!! I have taken the car to norwich dealership for answers. When they have told me is not covered by my warranty because car had at that time over a 100,000 miles (103,000 miles). I bought the car from nissan dealership car was display model and had 7 thousand miles on it when i got it. Dealership stated that's a new car and this 7 thousand miles wont count to the warranty major selling point price was lower!!! When i told them about it they said its over the warranty and they cant do anything unless i pay my self. I have received a letter from nissan about class action unfortunately it doesn't help me because my car has more that 100 thousand miles. So i have a car which has been paid of and it just sits on the driveway because its broke and i don't have $3000 to just go and fix it and i don't think i should since they new what was the problem since the beginning!!! |
