NHTSA Complaint #10700744 — 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER

2012 CLASS ACTION SUIT EXTENDS WARRANTY FOR LEAKAGE OF ANTIFREEZE INTO TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSES ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING PROPERLY AND BREAK DOWN. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON FEATURE ON NISSAN VEHICLES. THIS TRUCK WAS DRIVEN TO FLORIDA BY A COLLEGE STUDENT ON SPRING BREAK. AT 79,000 MARK TROUBLE STARTED. HE DROVE IT HOME TO VIRGINIA AND BINGO THE ODOMETER WENT OVER 80,000 MILES. AT 80,300 MILES HE TAKES IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE ODOMETER IS OVER 80,000 MILES THE MANUFACTURER REQUIRES $2500 OWNER CO-PAY TO REPAIR WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A PREVENTABLE REPAIR BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION TANKED. HAD HE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER IN FLORIDA AT 79,000 THE WHOLE THING WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. THEY REQUIRE WRITTEN PROOF OF MECHANICAL FAILURE. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO COME WITH A WARNING LABEL. *TR
