| Description of the problem | Car would just die while driving. The gauge would read empty even with a half tank or more of gas, i also called nissan dealership to check on recall of the fuel sending unit, the dealership told me there was no recall. So i started doing the work myself, got halfway done and asked a buddy for help and he informed me that there was in fact a recall on that part. So i went to the dealership and then they all of a sudden had a recall and did the work for free. Since then (before) 100,000 miles, my radiator fluid filled my transmission and ruined it, and my transmission fluid filled my radiator and ruined it too. So out of pocket for transmission rebuild and rerouting of the coolant line ($3000). Now i just drive because i have too, anytime i stop i have to kill it to keep it from overheating. But i have no other vehicle so nothing i can do. Nissan continues to just not care at all. I will never have another nissan. You could give me a nissan for free and i wouldn't touch it. Straight garbage company. |
