| Description of the problem | My husband has 2007 nissan frontier. When he drove a car go to work, suddenly stop and after that didn't start any more. We never got into accident before and taking care of truck very good. Tow company had to tow his truck to nissan dealership and they said it's computer problem so cost $800, takes a week to fix. After a week they called us,said they found another problem so cost $2000,takes one more week. After 2 weeks we still didn't hear anything from them. After more than 1 month finally we got call from nissan and they still can't fix yet and they found something wrong around transmission area..... They said seems like had a fire or burn around area and effected to all computer system. So now we have to change transmission and radiator which is cost $7000. It's mean we have to pay first $2000 plus $7000 = $9000 just fix for the car. I guess we still have a extension warranty on the truck so they can cover $4000 but still a lot for us cause we just paid off payment on this truck. Ofcourse i was thinking to buy new car if we can trade in this truck but sales person said they don't take this truck because this truck is trash? So i went to online to search about nissan transmission, came out a lot. So many similar trouble has been reported. And now im really hoping you guys will announce this transmission is under the recall! It's not couple hundreds cost, it's more than couple thousands cost for!! It's not cheap. Dealership is just adding all cost that they doing. If it's our fault,i understand we have to pay but sound like not our fault. Good thing car didn't get a fire around transmission area. It's going to be 2 month since nissan keeping our truck. My husband has been driving rent a car to go work and rent a car is not cheap. Hopefully we will hear something from you guys and it will be a good news for us. |
