| Description of the problem | The truck i have purchased on nov 24th, 2017 has the cummings diesel engine. The truck is known not to start in weather below 12 degrees f. Nissan techs tell me now (after the sale) that this engine needs an anti fuel gell addidative in order for the vehicle to start in cold weather. I feel i have been robbed of the $50,645 i spent on a new vehicle. This is not at all an acceptable answer to me. I have a 2005 chevrolet k3500 with a chevrolet duramax diesel that in 12 3/4 years has not had one drop of anti gel fluid placed in it, & has never failed to start not one single time with 235,000 miles on it!!! I find this unacceptable, & demand some sort of action be taken. I bought a vehicle in the good faith it was going to last. Instead i have bought something i hate now; never knowing weather or not it will start. Vehicle has failed to start on multiple days. About 6 days total so far since christmas of 2017. Filled a case #: 29386597... Nissan closed it after saying there was nothing they could do! Also filling a complaint with the indiana state attorney general, & bbb! |
