| Description of the problem | I purchased a pre-owned 2006 pathfinder le from honda, during the test drive the car was ok, but as soon as we sign sales contract got the keys and they gave us a $20 gas re-imburstent, vehicle's fuel gauge went wacky and said that we were on empty and light came on. Took it back to the dealership and they sent me to their 3rd party mechanic who are wonderful and changed out the fuel sender. Car ran find afterwards, not even 2 months later and only put about 1200 miles on the vehicle, problem re-occurred. Called honda and the sales man that sold us the car said to bring it back to their 3rd party but did not guarantee that they will help pay for the issue. Did some research and found that their has been a recall on the same make and model of car that i purchased, but when i called nissan to ask if vehicle is under warranty they said no it is not and they cannot do anything or will assist me in anyway, but would like me to take it to nissan dealer to get it diagnosed at my cost, and to call them back to give them feed back. I said no thanks, and now i have been trying to contact the pre-owned sales manager by phone but he will not return my calls, i will go tomorrow to their office to see again if they will help me with the cost and find a permanent fix since this is my family vehicle which i told the sales man. |
