| Description of the problem | I have replaced my starter 3 times. My brake lights have a short or faulty wiring i'm sure because we have replaced the bulbs several times. I have gotten tickets because of this as a result i have a expired brake tag i cant get a new one because the wiring will cost to much. My uv joint broke while i was driving on the high way. That part they tell me is not a common breaking part. Nissan charges over a thousand dollars to repair that. I'm told my wiring is bad after i replace my starter 2 months ago. They sent me a recall for my column steering and i had it repaired but it still is a slight hassle to change gears. I have received a letter telling me they are buying 2004 nissan xterra's but when i called the sales man says it's nothing wrong with the xterra's that's just a sales stunt. I think its a bunch of bull nissan knows they didn't do a good job with these 2004"s. |
