| Description of the problem | I always take my car in for service at glendale nissan and so last year in july of 2013 i asked were there any recall on my car i was told no. So in feb of this year2014 i started experiencing some problems with me heat inside the car. They checked it and told me my transmission fluid was mixing with my coolant and i needed to replace both and its gonna cost me $5600. I asked was there a recall on this and i was told yes and my car wasn't covered because of the mileage. I instantly got upset because i always take my car in for service to this dealership. I was told i could try to replacing the radiator and drain the transmission but that was no guarantee how long the car would work. I did just that .. Now my car is staying idle while driving and it wont idle down for a period of time. I tried calling the 1800nissan1 number and explain my problem and they told me they can't help me and nothing they could do. This is so wrong! I've spent so much money at this dealership its ridiculous. Ive replaced my computer, belts, hoses, spark plugs,oil changes,drain my transmission fluid. So much i cant even remember everything. If they know that this is happening to these cars and put out a recall for this how can they get away with this! Im a single parent of 5 children there's no way i can afford this!! And this is my only car i have for transportation!! This is just plain wrong! They shouldn't be allowed to get away with this! |
