| Description of the problem | My frontier died on 12/6 / on 12/7/2015, i had it towed to the boardwalk nissan and paid $100 to have the problem diagnosed. I was told the repairs would cost $10,500. The radiator caused the transmission to go out in turn causing the computer panel to burn out. I asked the service adviser was there something i could've done to prevent the problem. He said no, the problem happens. I then had the truck towed home. Now, i find out there was a problem that nissan should've known about, had they made the repairs to the radiator, my truck would be working today. This makes me angry. It makes me angry that i just paid $317. 44 to replace tire sensors that may not have been needed!! The radiator issue resulted in a $417. 44 expense that may not have been necessary ($100 for a diagnosis). The truck was parked in front of my house. I attempted to start the car on 12/6/15, it wouldn't start. Thinking it was a battery issue, i waited until the next morning; only to find out it wasn't the battery. I called boardwalk nissan and had the truck towed to the dealership for diagnostics & repairs only to find out it would cost me $10,500. |
