| Description of the problem | Purchased vehicle in 2005. In 2017 took to dealership with problem of loss of power to transmission on freeway while my daughter needed to pull over due to problem. Problem of noise in engine timing belt was also told of at dealership. With extended warranty of 10yrs./100,000mi. They said they were not liable & needed $6971. 28 to repair. Vehicle had 80,825 miles on it but was two years out of coverage. After finding out in 2013 a lawsuit was filed by mendelsohn and mazie slater katz & freeman for known defect to nissan, problem was never contacted to me for some reason? Was just informed by falco v. Nissan notice administrator to file paperwork on known problem with engine timing belt for possible 20% return of payment made to repair of defective tensioner assembly. Why four years ago was i not informed of radiator leak causing possible damage to vehicle & possible injury to driver? |
