| Description of the problem | Approximately 4 months ago my engine light came on. We took it to nissan and it was the fuel pump. That was $700, then 2 weeks later the engine light came back on we took it to nissan and it was the catalytic converter, that was $1800. Here we are 4 months later engine light comes back on we take it to nissan and now i'm told it is the radiator and transmission. This is going to cost $2500. 00! I come to find out that there is a defect with the radiator and transmission and nissan has known about this since 2007. My complaint is if nissan knew about a defect, and in my opinion a safety hazard, then why didn't they recall the defected parts? Why is the consumer being penalized for a defect? Nissan needs to recall these known defective parts and fix them! |
