| Description of the problem | While driving my car the rear passenger subframe busted, caused my car to pull left and right until i could get off to the side of the road safely. I was on a highway traveling about 60mph when this happened. I have contacted nissan about the subframe problem and they had me take it to a local dealer to be evaluated. Upon evaluation the total cost of having my rear subframe repaired is $5,022. 37 invoice number on this quote is q7812. Nissan has a warranty extension on the 2002-2005 altima subframe, for 13 years and unlimited miles. Campaign p5216 and service bulletin ntb05-114b. Where my concern is, that my murano has the same subframe as the altima but nissan refuses to repair my vehicle. My vehicle had the exact same issue as the altima and could have killed or severely injured me while i was on that highway. |
