| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2006 certified nissan pathfinder in 2008. I was guaranteed 100k engine and power train warranty. I currently have 96,426kmiles and the transmission gave out about 1 month ago in saline ks. I took the car to the nissan dealer in kansas and was told that it would be covered. However after waiting over a month for the part nissan stated that the transmission gave out because of the transmission cooling system leaking therefore the transmission is not covered. I have contacted nissan corp directly and have received the same answer. This is hazardous because the transmission gave out without warning during a snow storm. Likely the car managed to coast to the side of the road. I had my car shipped back to my home in clarksville tn. And was informed by the delivery driver that the parts were in the back of my car. So now i have a car that was taken apart but not fixed with a bunch of parts in the cargo area and about $2000 in debt for a rental car and shipping the car back too clarksville. Since i have had this problem i have found out that the transmission and cooling systems have been malfunctioning since 2004. |
