NHTSA Complaint #10587457 — 2007 NISSAN XTERRA

THIS WEEK MY SONS 2007 NISSAN XTERRA WOULD NOT START AND WE HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP NEAR HIS COLLEGE IN SCRANTON PA. YESTERDAY WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEED TO BE REPLACED, AT A COST OF AROUND $5000! THIS IS SHOCKING BECAUSE MY SON INSISTS THAT HE NOTICED NOTHING AMISS WITH THE OPERATION OF HIS TRUCK UNTIL IT HE WAS UNABLE TO START IT. AFTER SPENDING 10 MINUTES ON THE INTERNET, I LEARNED ABOUT THE NISSAN TRANSMISSION CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. WE HAVE BEEN RELIGIOUS IN TERMS OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, AND OVERALL CARE OF THE VEHICLE. WE WERE NOT AWARE OF THE COOLING/TRANSMISSIONS PROBLEMS PLAGUING NISSAN TRUCKS. IN ADDITION, I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT TWO SEPARATE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS, ONE IN NEW YORK AND ANOTHER NOW IN PA. IT IS DISGRACEFUL THAT NEITHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP MENTIONED ANYTHING! THIS MORNING I CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OVER 100,000, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR US. I DO NOT HAVE $5000 AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY SONS NISSAN. AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED IN POSTINGS, THERE LIKELY MANY OTHERS WITH VEHICLES OVER THE 100,000 MARKER, NOW JUST EXPERIENCING THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF THE DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING BY NISSAN. THERE SHOULD BE A SECOND CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED AGAINST NISSAN!!! *TR
