| Description of the problem | I purchased a used nissan pathfinder in july 2019. When i purchased the vehicle i also purchased a full-coverage warranty through the dealership, however, the dealership claims that they have no responsibility to help me. Their reasoning is that they are not a nissan dealer yet, they sold me a vehicle that is potentially dangerous for my children to be in and refuse to honor the warranty or help otherwise. The airbag off light will turn on while adults are sitting in the front passenger seat. It also comes on even when my 160 lb son is in the front seat. According to my research the was a recall on the airbags on this particular vehicle a few years ago that was supposedly previously addressed, however this continues to be an issue. Additionally i was sold a vehicle with no insulation in the doors and no seals on the bottoms of the doors. The inside of the vehicle (especially now thar it's verging on winter) gets frigid and you can even feel the wind coming through the window controls and buttons on the doors. |
