Consumer Description
WE PURCHASED A 2011 GMC TERRAIN MAY 29TH 2018 USED WITH 70000 MILES FROM THE HAZLETON NISSAN FROM THE HAZLETON AUTO MALL HERE IN PA. IT NOW HAS 78000. HAD TWO OIL CHANGES DONE ALREADY. THERE IS DEFINITELY A EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AS I JUST GOT A OIL CHANGE HUT THE 50 PERCENT OIL LIFE AND HAVING ISSUES AGAIN. WE HAVE CONTACTED HAZLETON NISSAN FOUND OUT THEY WERE CLOSING AFTER SIGNING A " SET FOR LIFE" CONTRACT WHICH HAD A POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. NOW I CANNOT USE MY WARRANTY.ANYWAY I WAS DRIVING HOME TONIGHT FROM WORK ON INTERSTATE 81 WHEN THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING JUST CUT OFF AND LOST ALL POWER. HE GOT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. AFTER IT STARTED HE BROUGHT IT TO A GAS STATION WHERE IT HAD STALLED AGAIN. GOT IT ALMOST HOME AND STALLED AGAIN. GOD FORBID MY CHILDREN WERE IN THIS CAR WHEN THIS CAR DECIDED TO CUT OFF AND HE HAD NO BRAKES NO STEERING NOTHING. NISSAN IN HAZLETON WAS AWARE OF THIS AND I CAN'T EVEN USE MY WARRANTY THAT THEY SIGNED AND I SIGNED. I WAS PROMISED SOMETHING THAT I CANNOT USE. GMC HAD A CALL FROM US AROUND 73000 MILES AND I TOLD THEM IT WAS CLICKING AND STALLING. THEY WOULDN'T TOUCH IT BC NISSAN IS THE ONE WHO SOLD IT TO ME AND THE CONTRACT WAS WITH THEM, BUT THEY ARE NO LONGER OPEN SO WHAT DO I DO NOW? I CANNOT AFFORD A HUGE FIX HENCE WHY I GOT THIS CAR BC THE WARRANTY AND I WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING IF IT FELL UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WHICH IT IS. IF I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR I WOULD GET ONE FOR FREE SEE WHAT I AM SAYING? SOMEONE COULD SERIOUSLY GET HURT OR EVEN DIE AND THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME? KEPT UP WITH ALL OIL CHANGES ALSO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED. I FEAR FOR MY WIFE AND CHILDREN AS THEY ALWAYS ARE USING THIS CAR.
