| Description of the problem | My wife and i were on a major interstate ? Accelerating up hill in the middle lane? The power just shut down. When depressing pedal ? Tachometer revved up but still no power. In the meantime ? A tractor trailer was barreling up behind us!! I was lucky enough to just get out of its way by coasting through two lanes and into the breakdown lane. The person that stopped to help us informed us that his brother had this same issue with his pathfinder and that there was a recall. Well ? We never received a recall notice ? The truck now has 135k miles and is not covered under their class action settlement. Called a local dealer and was told by the mechanic that our issue has nothing to do with the recall and they have no responsibility. My issue is ? If i had received the recall when it was issued in 2010 ? I would have had the repairs made while it was covered?. So how are they not responsible - we could have been killed??? They never sent us a recall notice and no mechanic had ever mentioned it??? |
