| Description of the problem | My 2005 nissan pathfinder had a bad fuel sensor. Upon calling the dealer,they gave me the nissan consumer affairs number to call stating that although my vehicle wasn't recalled for it they fixed others with nissan covering the expense. When i called i was told i had to get it repaired at the dealership to possibly be reimbursed after the repair was made. I did what they said and they refused my claim stating it did not fall under the recall. I paid twice the amount at the dealer then i would have at a regular mechanic. The service manager was so sure it would be covered as he had another vehicle with the same issue not on the recall list and they approved that truck! The regional specialist was snippy and would not let me speak to her supervisor. I'm disgusted and asking that you check into the integrity as a company. Do they lead you to believe you might get help just so you go to their service? I hate nissan and will never buy another! |
