| Description of the problem | One morning on the way to daycare my 2005 nissan pathfinder could not shift above first gear. I drove 8-10mph with hazard lights on to the dealership, nissan of portland (122nd ave). They told me it had cross contamination due to a "known faulty part" but that my warranty had expired in december. I bought the car from that dealership 18 months ago. They did not tell me at the time of purchase about this defect nor about the warranty, rather waited until they could charge me $5100. 00 to replace the transmission and radiator. This is so wrong! Nissan corporate should be ashamed of themselves for not fixing this for free whenever it manifests itself (or before) and dealers can not be allowed to sell cars without disclosing known material defects. Oregon law ors 646. 608 agrees. |
