| Description of the problem | Hi i brought my 2005 nissan pathfinder in december 2012 from kings auto porsche and the car fax was clear on it. I brought it with 63k miles on it and i now have 90k on it. I never received and paperwork such as any recalls campaigns. About the end of may or first week of june of 2013 my car started to do a vibration and then acted like it wanted to stall and hit real hard into gear. It wasn't till june 14, 2013 that it put me on the side of the road running hot to where i pulled over in 80+ degree weather with my 2 year old son and my 3 month old daughter in the car. I started to search the internet to find a few recalls and many unhappy nissan customers and find that nissan has many complaints on the radiator fluid leaking into the transmission causing a milky substances. I knew nothing about any recall and find out that many are very upset with nissan who isn't fixing this issue after their vehicles hit 80k. I am very unhappy with this issues and feel that nissan should be responsible for this. Please contact me on my issues. As i will be going higher up and to the media like the rest of your unhappy customers! Thank you for your time and looking at my letter. |
