Consumer Description

PURCHASED A USED 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER 9/18/09 FROM FRESNO ACURA. APPROX 2 WEEKS LATER I DROP IT BACK OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP, DUE TO THE HEATER NOT WORKING & A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION. FINDINGS RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER RUPTURED AND FLUID LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION & VICE VERSA, I FOUND OUT THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS GOING INTO RADIATOR. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HONOR TRANSMISSION WARRANTY DUE TO THE RADIATOR NOT BEING UNDER WARRANTY AND TRANSMISSION CONTAMINATION WAS EFFECTED BY RADIATOR . THIS IS SO WRONG, UNJUST AND CORRUPT. POSSIBLE DAMAGE RANGES FROM $3000-$6000. A CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY THIS FOR THIS KIND OF DAMAGE THAT WAS AFFECTED BY A DEFECTIVE PART THAT SHOULD OF BEEN RECALLED OR CORRECTED. A PERSON PAYS APPROX $23,000 FOR A NEW VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DISH OUT ANOTHER 3 -4 THOUSAND DOLLARS ON A 3 YR OLD VEHICLE . THIS IS BAD BUSINESS AND WILL GIVE THE NISSAN A VERY BAD REPUTATION. *TR
