| Description of the problem | I took my 2005 nissan xterra to dealer to get serviced. The service department person told me my transmission fluid was leaking into radiator. They told me do to my miles on car at that time i had 94000 miles it would be a 3000 dollars co pay due to the extended warranty nissan had authorized. I ask why wasn't i told when nissan was aware of problem to do prevented maintenance. The service rep. Said since it was no recall he was not obligated to tell me. I don't know about most people but i don't have 3000 dollars laying around to use i live paycheck to paycheck. I take my car to dealer only for service thinking its getting the right service but i found out i was wrong. If i was advised early i may of found this problem earlier and got it replace free. Now what do i do? *jb |
