| Description of the problem | I bought a 2006 nissan truck from gary mathew nissan last year,i was told it was check out and in good running shape i am a 65 year old recent window no one said nothing about a defective transmission cooler that could cause the transmission to fail or that it was factory caused problem that could occur. Last week i was driving it keep showing 4x4 and service engine soon in dash it would lose power to point it would not move until it sit a few minutes . I carried it next day the said it was a lose cable,went home it did same thing several times and lost power on road in traffic,to point it didn't want to move i went to dealer right then. Well they came out with a cost paper to fix it $ 5300. 00 i just sit there couldn't figure how a truck i just got could of tore up i take care of my stuff ,including my cars check fluids all i can do, well then a car sales man said maybe better to trade,after hours of this and me not able to trade couldn't afford the 5300 much less in dept 18,000 for another used truck with 90,000 miles on it, i told them to fix it, i'd try borrow money,i was also told may get help from nissan but looked at their extended warranty only up to 80,000 miles on the transmission thing. We have had nissan or datsuns too that had over 200,000 miles on them and did fine right up to being replaced, that's why i got my truck,nissan knew about this problem and knew it would happen, so i am hoping nissan will help me pay for fixing their mess up. I like nissans thru years my husband and i had lots of them now i am alone and look what someone else's mistake is costing me i have to middle of week to come up with this money for someone else's mistake.. Step up nissan fix your mistake . [xxx] in tn> ya i put my name this is the truth i need help information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
