| Description of the problem | I notice there was a milky substance in the radiator of my truck. After doing some research on line it looks like a lot of nissan frontier owners have the same problem. I called two nissan dealers near my house (garden grove and costa mesa) and they are well aware of this problem. I also called about seven independent transmission repair shops and most of them are aware of this problem. Nissan dealers say they would charge me around $7000 to make the repairs. The independent shops said they would charge me anywhere from $2000 to $3500 to rebuilt the transmission. I cannot afford to have my truck fixed at this time and am looking to make nissan usa responsible for this. I called nissan and they said i need to have the truck inspected at the nissan dealer and the chances of them taking liability for a faulty radiator are slim. My truck has a little over 107,000 miles on it which is over the 80,000/8 year warranty. I would like to make others that are facing the same situation aware of nissan's negligence. Nissan as lost a customer and many others as i am working hard to let as many people as i can avoid making a nissan purchase. If nissan does not take responsibility for this i will be looking for others like me to boycott nissan automobiles! |
