| Description of the problem | My 2011 nissan juke has been sitting in austin tx. Waiting to be towed from clay cooley nissan. The motor has been rendered unfixable due to sludge from the engine. The juke was recalled for a timing chain replacement on dec 16,2015 at mileage 96,133. In their report it states that due to the timing chain having been stretched and rubbed into the side of the engine and timing cover;aluminum shavings from the block soaked in oil from the leak the chain created, is the reason the engine was malfunctioning this time around. It was only "patched and not fixed" states the mechanic from ed hicks nissan. I purchased the extended warranty for 100,000 miles and at 108,000 miles the engine blows and nissan does not want to claim responsibility for the damage. I took care of my car since it is all i have and believed in nissan mechanics when they said it was fixed and ready. Not having my vehicle has caused so much stress in my life. It has been since 8/17/2016 that i have been dealing with nissan corporate and there consumer affairs department. It seems at this time they do not want to communicate with me anymore. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you soon. |
