NHTSA Complaint #10545029 — 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICE STEAM FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS AT MAXIMUM HOT.I IMMEDIATELY PULLED INTO AN AUTO SHOP. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE OF THE WATER PUMP AND ANTI-FREEZE GETTING INTO THE ENGINE. THEY SAID THE WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED TO COVER THIS PROBLEM BUT IT WAS ONLY EXTENDED TO VEHICLES THAT HAD LESS THAN 80000 MILES AND SINCE I WAS OVER THE ALLOTTED MILEAGE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. HOW CAN THEY NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS ON A PROBLEM THAT THEY KNEW EXISTED AND WOULD HAVE BLOWN UP MY ENGINE HAD I NOT IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE TRUCK AND HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALER? IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED I SHUTTER TO THINK OF WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED.
