| Description of the problem | We bought this suv back in 2005 from my local nissan dealer. There have been other issues like a faulty pedal which back on that date when it failed, it almost made me crash. They did fix that problem at my expense since they stated i was not covered by the warranty. Now, my car is 10 years old with 90k miles and the transmission just died while driving to my relatives wedding. I did the regular trans fluid service and a few hours later the transmission failed. I took it back to nissan to get it checked. They want me to pay over $5,000. 00 for a new transmission. I asked them why the transmission failed at only 90k miles. They did not give me any specific explanation as to why this happened. They only stated that "this type of pathfinders have had a lot of problems" and that was it. I asked if there was any recall regarding this issue, the guy said no. I am left with no other choice than to pay the 5 grand to get my car fixed. They should not be selling faulty cars to consumers!!! I will never buy a nissan vehicle ever again! |
