Consumer Description

DUE TO A DEFECT KNOWN BY NISSAN, THE RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THE DEFECT AND DID NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. INSTEAD THEY ADDED AN "EXTENDED WARRANTY" THAT MOST PEOPLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DUE TO YEARS/MILEAGE LIMITATIONS. I MADE IT INTO THE LAST BRACKET, WHERE MY CO-PAY FOR THE REPAIR IS $3000 INSTEAD OF THE FULL $5800. THE DEALER DID NOT RESEARCH THE WARRANTY AND TRIED TO HAVE ME PAY FULL PRICE. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN DUE TO THEIR DECISION NOT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A KNOWN DEFECT. *TR
