NHTSA Complaint #10715572 — 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY VEHICLE I SEEN NOTHING PRETTY MUCH WRONG WITH IT. AFTER A WEEK OF DRIVING WITH IT I START NOTICING PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES, NOT A BIG DEAL. I FIXED THAT, THEN I NOTICE THAT MY VEHICLE STARTS ACTING UP IN CHANGING GEARS, AS WELL AS HEATING UP. SO I CHECK THE RADIATOR, THAT I NOTICE TRANSMISSION FLUID INSIDE THE RADIATOR. SO I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AFTER HEARING A RECALL, DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THEY TELL ME THAT I WOULD NEED $3500.00 AS A DEPOSIT, BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT IS POSSIBILITY THAT NOT ONLY THE RADIATOR NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, BUT THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION ALSO IF THEY SEE IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. ALL THIS IN LESS THAN A MONTH. SO I CHANGE THE RADIATOR MYSELF. NOW A MONTH LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTING UP ON ME. SO I ASK WHAT GOOD IS A RECALL IF I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. WHAT GOOD IS BUYING A VEHICLE IF THE MANUFACTURES AND DEALERSHIP TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IN WHAT THEY BUILD OR SALE. I NEVER TRY TO DO THIS TO ANY CUSTOMER IN WHEREVER I WORK, EITHER THE CABLE OR PHONE COMPANY, SO WHAT MAKE NISSAN SPECIAL IN DOING THIS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. IN LESS THAT 2 MONTH AFTER I GET MY TRUCK FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I HAVE TO FIX MY TIRES, PUT A NEW RADIATOR, AND NOW A TRANSMISSION. WHAT USE IS HAVING A GOVERNMENT OR A FEDERAL SYSTEM, WHEN THE CUSTOMER IS NOT BEING HEARD, AND THE PEOPLE WITH THE MONEY CAN LIE TO THE CUSTOMER AND OUR SYSTEM DOES NOTHING, BUT ALLOW ALL THIS TO HAPPEN.
