| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a used 2005 nissan armada on may 22, 2006 with a mileage of 34,399 miles. as you can see i haven't had it for a 2 full months yet, and already it has failed me. on my way home from work after working 16 hours. i stopped in a record shop to purchase some music cd's, it had only been about 15 minutes that the engine was shut off. when i proceeded back to my vehicle to start it back up, it wouldn't start. i therefore called aaa, they came in a matter of minutes, they tried for 45 minutes to give it a boost but it just wouldn't start, so therefore aaa had to send a flat bed tow truck to tow it back to the dealer. i contacted the dealer where i purchased the vehicle from, they informed me that the service department was closed, so now i have to take off a day of work to have this vehicle towed on monday. the catch 22 is they can't promise me a loaner, and they are not even sure if they can reimburse my towing fees. as a consumer who is a single parent of 4 working 16 hours a day 5 days a week, i'm taking this all the way to the top. the end results that would be to my satisfaction is to give me a brand new 2006 armada with 0 mileage. the dealer did not service this car properly. i conducted a carfax report on my vehicle and it stated that this vehicle was used as a rental in maryland. i don't want them to fix it, they are assuming its the alternator or the starter, in which should not be happening to what is considered to be a new truck. i feel once they fix that problem, another problem will occur. i am a very dissatisfied customer, i feel i was taken for my money because i am a woman. i will be contacting consumer affairs & ny1 news station to get the satisfaction i deserve. *jb |
