| Description of the problem | Vehicle rolls-not slides out of driveway while vehicle in park and not running while on snow and ice does not do so when in 4 wheel drive. Nissan dealer has seen videos but says nothing wrong. Lived in house since 1985 and no car has ever rolled out. Only under certain winter conditions does this happen such as wet packed snow.. Was nearly ran over one day getting mail. Video show no key, in park and all 4 tires rotating forward. Second video shows no key, in park 3 wheels rotating forward and 1 rear wheel rotating backward as pickup rolls forward. One dealer could see problem and told me to put blocks behind wheels. Second complaint. Rear bumper has significant rust around license plate, rest of bumper ok. Nissan says because of winter chemicals. Brought this to their attention 4 years ago when pickup had 7835 miles. In 4 years i have attempted to find another pickup approximate same age any make with rust from chemicals. I have the only one in (redacted). Why rust behind license plate which is protected from chemical. The past 4 years i ave made a minimum of 15 trips, calls, letters all to be told nothing wrong, nothing we can do. Feel as though the big company is bullying the little person. Can send photos, video correspondence separately-not computer savvy. First incident at dealer was 2/27/2018. Might add this is a great pickup, which i can never sell in good faith knowing the dangerous condition on snow and ice. |
