| Description of the problem | Driving my vehicle, the transmission started to drag, i then called the dealer and brought it right in and found that the radiator was leaking into the transmission and it was going to cost 6,600 dollars to repair. I complained that it was too much money. The dealer brought it down to 2,500 dollars to fix. Then i find out if it had happened before 80,000 miles it would have been covered. This is not right as nissan knew this was an issue with these vehicles because of a poor design on there part. As a consumer i feel i was taken. What would have happened if my vehicle stopped working in the middle of a highway or a deserted road. Please have nissan own up to the product they are selling. |
