| Description of the problem | After my vehicle was making shuddering noises between 40 and 50 mph i decided to bring it to the nearest dealership to be checked. I was told the radiator leaked coolant into the transmission. I was also told this has been an issue for nissan so they would cover part of the repair and i would be responsible for $2500 of the repair since i was 1300 miles over the limit. I was notifies the radiator and transmission needed to be replaced. I told the service representative i did not have the money at my disposal and asked if there was anything i could do. I was told when i get the money to call and they will repair it, but to also hurry because the transmission could lock up anytime and cause a major accident. I was shocked they would even let me leave the dealership. I immediately called nissan customer affairs and explained my situation. They told me i was they would not be able to assist me in any way and suggested the same as the dealership, to quickly get it repaired because i can cause a major accident. I was appalled they would allow their customers be in danger and endanger other drivers on the roads especially when nissan admits to this being a quality issue that a majority of their consumers are having. |
