NHTSA Complaint #10454707 — 2007 NISSAN XTERRA

MY NISSAN WHICH I LOVED ORIGINALLY WHEN I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND I HAVE MAINTAINED IT AND SERVICED IT FAITHFULLY. I HAD TAKEN MY TRUCK FOR SERVICE TWICE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND NOTHING WAS DETECTED AS FAR AS THE RADIATOR CRACKING. THIS IS WHAT CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO GO. THE FIRST TIME I WENT FOR SERVICE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY NOTHING WAS SAID. THE SECOND TIME AT 80588 ANOTHER SERVICE WAS DONE BASIC OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION SUPPOSEDLY EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE EACH TIME A MULTI POINT INSPECTIONS WAS DONE. I IMAGINE THIS INCLUDES PLACING THE VEHICLE ON THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTERIZED MACHINE. WELL, SHORTLY AFTER THIS IS WHEN MY MAJOR PROBLEMS BEGAN. MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AS IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY RIDING ON THE SHOULDER WERE THE WARNING STRIPS WITH THE GRIDS VIBRATES YOUR CAR WHEN YOU GO OVER ONTO THEM. I RELATED THE VIBRATION TO THE RECENT TIRE ROTATION I CHECKED THE TIRES MADE SURE NUTS WERE TIGHT AND NOTHING WAS OFF; EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE. THE AWKWARD VIBRATION CONTINUED SO I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THAT?S WHEN I GOT THE DEVASTATING NEWS A WHOPPING $7371.00 IN REPAIRS FOR A CRACKED RADIATOR AND DAMAGED TRANSMISSION. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS WHAT SO EVER NO ENGINE LIGHT, NO OVERHEATING, AND NO SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE. NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND SO ARE THE DEALERS. NOTHING WAS SAID TO ME WITH PRIOR VISITS AND THEY QUICKLY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND WERE CERTAIN OF THE PROBLEM. THESE DEALERS ARE DEFINITELY AWARE AND MAKING MONEY OFF INNOCENT CONSUMERS FOR THESE UNJUST OUT OF POCKET REPAIRS. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE IN ALL OF THIS? *TR
