| Description of the problem | Not even 3 months after we purchased our used nissan pathfinder. I had just dropped my older children off at school and my car started to have a hard time. I knew i had to get my vehicle to safety. As i approached a intersection intersection on a very busy main route the car would not move at all. I was scared because the speed on that street is 50+ and i was stuck in the middle of the road with my 7 week old. After being towed and transferred to coastal nissan in norwell ma. We were told about the "recall" and forced to borrow $2500 so that we could pay to have the vehicle repaired. Nissan told us it wasnt a safety complaint. I beg to differ! I was stranded on a busy street with a newborn if we were struck the outcome could have been horrific. I hope someone will finally do something about this problem! |
