| Description of the problem | Started hearing a loud knocking when putting my car in park or other gears. Took it in for my regular scheduled service and told the service writer at nissan what was going on. He checked it and said he would not let me drive it and offered a rental , told me he would call. Well surprise $7600 price tag, said nothing about the recall, i found that myself. But he told me nissan would pay part and my co-pay is $3000. He told me the inter cooler in the radiator had cracked and leaked, sending fluids into my transmission and killing it. On top of that they want to replace with a re-manufactured transmission. According to the extended warranty guidelines of the class action suit, my vehicle just turned 9 yrs. Approx. 3 weeks ago and only has 79,000 miles. You would think since it's only 3 weeks out of 8 yrs. And within the 80, 000 they would replace for free. I was never even notified of the recall, i have my car serviced at the dealership i purchased from, i don't understand why they didn't tell me or take action before this happened. I have contacted nissan north america, who knows maybe they will do proper business and fix their manufacturing defect. |
