| Description of the problem | This issue is my radiator and transmission contamination. First noticed heat didn't work. Mechanic checked radiator,found leak. Began installing new radiator and saw that coolant was already contaminating tranny. Truck dead at dealership. Called nissan and they created a case. Denied. Escalated case. Denied. Started new escalation today. I have lost my job because i cant get there!!! What's next my home???? Paid outright for this truck brand new. Drove all the way to maryland to get it. Less than 5 yrs old!!! But because my mileage was over the 80,000 they wont help. This product already had the flawed components when i drove it off the lot brand new so wtf should mileage have to do with it??? All the faulty sensors were annoying enough but this type of potential for failure should demand total recall.... Instead they issue warranty extensions and mileage limitations. I was never notified as a registered nissan owner when this issue was supposedly sent out last fall. And even if i had been my mileage was already over. That should not have mattered as this issue is such a safety and monetary concern. Luckily it didn't fail while i was driving home at 8pm doing 70mph or when i had my kids in it. All in one week i lost vehicle because of flawed product, my job because my flawed vehicle died and my reputation as a reliable and responsible employee. Heartbroken. I want my money back!!!!!!!!!!! Never will i buy another nissan. Greedy & irresponsible company with no sense of commitment to their consumers. |
