| Description of the problem | I bought a used 2007 nissan frontier crew cab at hyundai of roseville, ca a year and half ago on jan 2014 and they never disclose to me that this car was known for coolant leaking into the transmission and eventually destroying it. After buying this, i only drove it for about 8,000 miles and this problem hits me june 2015. I bought it for $12,500 and still owe $8,000. The costs to repair this according to nissan would costs me $7,500. I bought an extended warranty for $1,200, but it would not be covered because this is a "known pre-existing problem or defect by the manufacturer." so, this used frontier would costs me over $20,000 which is about what the new ones are going for. This is terrible and i need some kind of justice. Either nissan, the hyundai dealership that i bought this from and or the extended warranty company need to pay for this. Nissan should pay because this was a known manufacturer defect. Hyundai dealership that i bought it from should also pay because they didn't disclose of this known defect. The extended warranty company called buy direct auto warranty should had not offer me a warranty knowing that can't pay for this kind of repair. They should either pay for the repair or give me a full refund. I need justice!!! |
