| Description of the problem | April 9,2009 thanks for talking with me about my issue. Re: maine's express and implied warranty laws: as we discussed please find enclosed maine law that basically extended any express warranty from a car dealer based on the enclosed criteria. Since the nissan xterra has a 6 year power train warranty i have the right to assert that the defective part, which is a safety hazard for me and family, should have lasted well beyond 4 1/2 years or 46,000 miles on the car. I am requesting that you authorized berlin city nissan to repair this part (number: 497109z400) which can only be purchased through the dealer. This part simply was defective and faulty and was not in any way abused pursuant to maine law. The part clearly did not meet the maine warranty law of fit for ordinary purposes in fact the dealer told my wife and me they very rarely if ever see this part come in for repair. In summary, i request that nissan doe the right thing and authorized a full payment of the above mention part along with the $96. 50 cents which i have already paid berlin city to diagnose of the problem with part number: 497109z400. Thanks for your assistance taking care of this matter to avoid a formal compliant to maine attorney general's office. Http://www. Maine. Gov/ag/dynld/documents/clg4. Pdf http://www. Maine.
