Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000 MILES ON IT. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, I TURNED ON MY CAR AND HEARD A CLANKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I PERSISTED THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED IT WAS A FAULTY RADIATOR FAN AND IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $1,000 TO FIX IT. THE MANUFACTURER WARRENTY IS ONLY 3 YR/36,000 MILES FOR BASIC AND 5 YR/50,000 MILES FOR POWERTRAIN. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. IT WAS ALSO STATED THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL I GET IT FIXED, DUE TO THE FACT IT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE BY CAUSING IT TO OVERHEAT. THIS A FAIRLY NEW CAR AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TROUBLE WITH FAULTY PARTS WHEN THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD.
