| Description of the problem | This car has had one issue after another. My fuel sensor went out, had a recall on the relay (was stalling as i was driving), had my transmission and radiator mix fluid and cause both to fail and my catalytic converters are defective. I need the catalytic to be changed so i can pass a smog check... It has been such a pain, expense and concern for safety. When is nissan going to realize that they made faulty vehicles? Do people have to have horrific accidents before they do anything about it ? I paid good money, hard earned money for this vehicle, brand new. The costs to repair are ridiculous. My husband has a car older than me, more wear and tear and has never had an issue. The catalytic issue needs to be fixed before it kills the motor and makes it a useless box. To me, nissan doesn't care about its customers or their safety. The relay and transmission issues almost caused us huge accidents. Without quick thinking and quick reflexes we could have been seriously hurt. Something needs to be done !!! Thank you for your assistance. |
