| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 nissan titan off road package. I bought it with 55,000 miles on it. At purchase, i bought a 3rd party extended warranty(cna) that covers up to 100,000 miles or 3 years which ever comes first. My truck hit 75,422 miles and i noticed that it made a click noise once in a while when i made a left turn. Made an appointment with my mechanic and found out that the rear differential blew. I contacted the dealership which i bought it from. I was told that they had no dealings with nissan brand and i would have to have it towed to a nissan dealership to get it evaluted. I had it towed to a nissan dealership. They contacted the 3rd party warranty co. And was told that it will not be covered, because i had no paperwork that the truck was serviced at 50,000 miles for the differential. Nissan told me that they and the warranty company couldn't do anything for me and if wanted to get the truck fixed, i would have to cough up 4,000 dollars to replace the whole rear axle. Being so feed up with them, i decided to give this job to my mechanic which he projected to only cost 2,100 dollars. I have always been a loyal nissan customer, but nissan really looks out for their best interest and not their customer. Once my truck is fixed, i will be trading it in for a chevy silverado 1500. |
