| Description of the problem | On march 14th 2016. We purchased a nissan pathfinder 2007, on the day it was purchased? It shut down in the grocery store parking lot! We had it towed back to the dealer, got it back? And then the car shut down again in the middle of the street! In a high traffic area! My husband cant walk far because of his disability and we had to sit in the car and wait till the tow truck came! March 7,2017 the day after our first payment! The dealership then told us it was a leak in the radiator coolant hose due to some flaw in design! They told us it would cost 1500 minimum to fix! We owned the car less than a month! Made one payment! And now we can't drive it or afford to fix it! Because our vehicle has 100,000 miles nissan, instead of just fixing their engine flaw? Wants to charge us 3,000 dollars to fix it! We are on a fixed income both my husband and i are disabled,and financed into a truck that could have killed us! This needs to be a straight and fair recall with no cost to the consumer! This car could have shut down anywhere! Leaving us stranded! Or worse! |
