| Description of the problem | There was a class action lawsuit settlement alleging nissan north america concealed from consumers a cross-contamination of engine coolant and transmission fluid for 2005-2010 frontiers. On june 18, 2015 my truck lost power and stopped working, in the middle of an intersection, almost creating an accident. I towed my truck to get it repaired, i paid $120 and $1800, they fixed half of the problem. Since my truck was still not working i did some research and found out about the extended warranty. I towed my truck to buena park nissan where i had to pay $3000 to fix my truck. I contacted nissan na to see if i could get a refund for cost i had already made, they told me to send them invoices of what i had paid. Later they said that they could not reimburse me since it was not repaired at a nissan dealership. I have paid a total of $4920 for a problem nissan created, knew about and concealed from customers. |
