| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Bought vehicle in nov. '98. had to replace transmission in or around april '99. was told by several people that nissan was having a problem with their transmissions that year. dealership replaced with a new transmission only because we had purchased an extended warranty. on august 7, the transmission once again failed only after a little over a year. we thought it was still under warranty so we had it towed to the same dealership. was told that the warranty had expired. they said they would pull transmission to see if they could tell what it was. in the meantime, i started calling other places to check on pricing. was told that the transmission had some kind of bolt (?) or something that was a defect in their transmissions but were still knowlingly replacing these transmissions without correcting that problem. we bought a nissan because we trusted the reliabilty of the make. now we are going to be around $2,000.00 out, plus sitting on the side of the road for a couple of hours and the inconvienience (we were to take our vacation this week, now we can't). if this site is not the correct place to make this kind of complaint i apologize for taking up your time. i think there should be some recourse for us. we do not have a lot of money and this will greatly set us back which was the purpose of going with a nissan. |
