| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 nissan frontier with cross contamination of radiator fluid and transmission fluid. The dealer states the known defect is beyond the 100,000 mile cutoff for the extend manufacturers warranty that deals with this common and well known defect. The estimated cost of repair is 4800. 00 with the full burden resting on me for a common and well known manufacturing defect that could have been avoided had nissan recalled the vehicles and made the repairs as soon as they were aware. There is a class action lawsuit but again my vehicle is outside of the parameters of the lawsuit. I don't quite know what to do as i like most everyone don't have $5000. 00 sitting around and unfortunately my credit is in horrible shape so i can't get a loan to pay for it nor can i qualify for a loan to trade it in. How in the world can i ever justify buying another nissan product knowing they don't produce a safe, quality product and they are not willing to fix defective equipment. |
