| Description of the problem | Last november 6th i hit a deer, front impact. Took truck to local garage to have it serviced. The only damage they said occurred was body damage. 3wks later got my truck back with body damage repaired. About 3wks after that i started to notice a slight vibration in my truck when i got to a certain speed. I really didn't think nothing of it and thought maybe i had a tire out of balance. Well the vibration started getting worse and i started to notice a strong vibration and decrease in power when it shifted. So i took the truck back to the garage to see if they could figure anything out. I thought maybe the deer caused more damage than expected but they couldn't find anything. The didn't charge me anything because they found nothing wrong. So i drove it for another 2 weeks and it got worse. I took it to a local nissan dealership and within 30mins they determined a transmission cooler rupture and that it basically has ruined my transmission and would need to replace it, a service charge of $6,000!!! They told me i was just out of warranty on it. I've been reading on this issue and know nissan has an extended warranty of 10yrs or 100,000 miles. I went to the dealer on the 19th of january. 19 days out or warranty!!! When i had originally had an issue in late december and nothing was found!!! The truck is barely 10yrs old and has less than 90,000 miles on it. |
