| Description of the problem | I bought a nissan xterra 06 in september 2013. It's now july 5 2014, not even a year after i bought it, and i'm having issues getting my car fixed. Something in the radiator busted and caused the coolant to leak into the transmission which means that i now need a new radiator and a new transmission which is going to cost roughly 5,100 dollars to fix in which i cannot afford. I purchased an extended warranty when i purchased my car so that if i had any major issues, like this, i would be covered financially bc anyone knows that car repairs can be quite costly. I was told that, zurich, my warranty company, would not pay for the repairs bc the problem came from the radiator and it's not covered in the warranty which leaves me to pay for the costly repairs. I believe that the dealership i got my car from should pay for the repairs as i haven't had it a whole year yet. I feel as if i've been skrewed over. Nissan also needs to issue a recall bc i'm not the only 06 xterra owner to have this issue. Please help me, i have a 1 yr. Old daughter and i need my car fixed and don't have 5100 dollars to fix it myself. Thank you |
