| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 nissan pathfinder. After hearing about many transmission issues due to a faulty radiator/seal, i decided to be proactive since i only have 41,000 miles and one year remaining on my power train warranty. I called nissan usa informing them of my concern, and to see if there was a fix in place before my warranty was up in one year. The woman informed me that unless there was a specific problem at this time, nothing could be done. I was calling to try to save them from an upcoming issues/repairs under warranty. I also called my local dealership, and he heard about the issue and stated that no fix or recall is in place. After owning multiple nissans over the past 15 years, this new was disheartening. Nissan documented my call (i have a conf. Number). I already had u-joint replaced. Alternator tensioner, and timing chain replaced under warranty. |
