| Description of the problem | I only had a year since i purchased my used 2005 nissan frontier from a nissan dealership and my transmission failed, with no warning whatsoever, one day i felt the gears where getting a little stiff every time i shifted and the next thing i know im at the shop, and im being told its going to be 4800. 00 to fix my transmission, i am a single mother of two, still have a loan on this vehicle and had to scrap up money to buy an additional car because i cannot afford to fix it. Then i find out this is a know problem by nissan and they refuse to help out the consumer and their lame warranty covers nothing because my car exceeds the 100k mile warranty... This blows, never buying nissan again. |
