| Description of the problem | Nissan has extended the warranty on this issue (transmission and radiator} and when i contacted them they said it had to be checked by a nissan dealer. I had to have it towed 250 miles away to the nearest dealership at my own expense, wait 2 and a half weeks for them to tell me because i bought it used (not new} they decided that they can not cover it under the warranty. So a used vehicle has no warranty? Now i have to pay the dealership and have it towed back at my expense another $375, this is wrong on all levels and should be covered they should not be allowed to take advantage of people like this. There has been so many complaints about these vehicle's losing power in traffic, on the highways and how they barely avoided getting into major accident's. I know that the new york times has done up an article about this and i think if we can bail out the auto industry even though nissan did not take a bail out we should make them accountable for their defects or do we have to wait till someone dies because of these defects before someone makes them accountable. I paid a lot of money for this pathfinder, first gm burned me very badly and now nissan. Please please.... Someone needs to do something about this. "pleading for your help" thank you |
