Consumer Description

DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT, I HAVE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKING INTO AND RUINING MY TRANSMISSION. I LEARNED THAT NISSAN HAS RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM AND HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS ABOVE 80,000 MILES I HAVE A CO-PAY OF $2,500. I FIND THIS UNFAIR. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT DUE TO MILES DRIVEN OR OPERATOR ERROR. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT AND TO REQUIRE CUSTOMERS TO PAY THOUSANDS TO FIX NISSAN'S ENGINEERING PROBLEM IS WRONG. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. NISSAN SHOULD COVER THE FULL COST OF THE REPAIR REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM RESULTS FROM A DESIGN FLAW. *TR
