Consumer Description

WITH NO WARNING THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START, AND JUST STOPPED WORKING. WE HOOKED IT UP TO THE CODE READER AND DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE. WHAT WE FOUND WAS REALLY TROUBLING. WE BIT THE BULLET AND PAID TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER LOOKED IT OVER AND SAID THAT THE RADIATOR CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING A FAILURE IN BOTH. THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, ALL THE SEALS AND HOSES, THE RADIATOR AND THE COMPUTER. THESE REPAIRS WERE QUOTED TO BE $8,000. WE JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK WHICH IS WORTH $11,000 AND NOW WE ARE HIT WITH AN $8,000 REPAIR BILL? THIS IS A MAJOR MANUFACTURER FAILURE AND WAS ALREADY PART OF A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT, BUT SINCE YOU HAD TO BE A PART OF THE CLASS ACTION SUIT BEFORE WE EVEN OWNED THE TRUCK WE ARE JUST OUT OF LUCK? NISSAN NEEDS TO BUY THIS TRUCK AT FULL VALUE FROM US, INSTEAD THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE US FOR ANOTHER $8,000. *TR
