| Description of the problem | Check engine light came on, got scanned at auto zone, all codes referenced transmission & sensors (i. E. Cam shaft)... Took to geurlich's auto for an inspection and transmission was suggested to be replaced... Took it to aamco for an inspection/2nd opinion and same diagnosis, replace/re-build transmission. Finally accumulated the funds to have a mechanic rebuild our transmission and upon return of our vehicle, and unbeknownst to us, he mentioned the know issues/investigation stemming back to 2012 with the radiator leaking into the transmission and causing it to fail, which is ultimately what he felt happened. Since we purchased the vehicle on 08/08/2012 with an odometer reading of 100,340. We would have been entitled to none of the repair options or concessions nissan offered under the proposed class action, since all were offered only up to 100k miles. The date the investigation was opened according to http://www-odi. Nhtsa. Dot. Gov/ was 6/11/2012, 2 months prior to our purchase. The dealer at the time should have been well aware of the open investigation and provided us information on it so that we may have made a more informed decision. I feel that this purchase, although 3 years post purchase, falls within the lemon law statutes and warrants reimbursements to us of the cost to re-build the transmission, replace radiator, etc. |
