| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving on interstate 75 at speed of 75 mph vehicle engine shut off, vehicle was towed to dealer location whereby service dept. indicated the overheating was caused by driving in flooded condition when in true fact there was not more than 1" of water on the highway that afternoon. service dept. analysis was diagonised as driving in flooded conditions hence causing at 75 mph the radiator fan blade to be pushed back over 3-4" towards the radiator causing the plastic fan blade to penetrate the radiatoir causing the engine to overheat. this dassumption by the service technicans makes no logical sense as the forces required to cause such damage is not logical. the fan blade sits at least 3-4" behind the radiator and would require great forces to move it forward in the opposite direction to sustain such an incident, there was no apparent damage to the plastic blade. dealer and nissan refuses to accept warranty and as such i have had to involve my insurance company.*ak |
