OUR NISSAN PROBLEMS STARTED YEARS AGO. IN 2010 I STARTED NOTICING NOISE AND SHUDDERING COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING MORE THAN IT NEEDED A FLUSH OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. SO I PAID THE $150, HAD IT DONE AND WENT ON MY WAY. IN 2011 IS STARTED DOING IT AGAIN, HAD IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT I MUST HAVE BEEN HEARING THINGS. THEY TEST DROVE IT NUMEROUS TIMES AND 'NEVER HEARD ANYTHING'. EVENTUALLY THEY HAD A SPECIALIST COME AND LOOK AT MY CAR. HE DETERMINED THAT MY A/C UNIT NEEDED TO BE RESET. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FINE AND WE WENT ON OUR MERRY WAY. FLASH FORWARD TO JULY 2013. ON THE WAY HOME FROM A ROAD TRIP, ABOUT 3 HOURS FROM OUR HOUSE WE STARTED NOTICING IT WAS GETTING HOT IN THE CAR. SURE ENOUGH THE AIR JUST STARTED BLOWING OUT HOT AIR. EVERYTHING STILL WORKED ON THE A/C, JUST BLOWING HOT AIR. SO WE DROVE HOME SWEATING OUR A$$ OFF IN MID-SUMMER IN FL. A DAY OR 2 LATER WE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (1ST TIME EVER IN THIS CAR). HUSBAND THOUGHT HE SHOULD SHUT THE CAR OFF...WELL, THAT WAS THE LAST TIME MY CAR EVER WORKED. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHERE IT SAT THERE FOR 2 WEEKS. FIRST HE DETERMINED IT WAS A BLOWN FUSE - GREAT, $10! - WENT TO PICK IT UP AND IT BLEW AGAIN. HE THEN DETERMINED IT WAS A BROKEN COMPUTER TOLD US TO TOW IT TO NISSAN. WE DID. IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR A WEEK AND WE WERE JUST TOLD THAT THE TRANS & RADIATOR FLUIDS MIXED AND CAUSED TRANS TO SEIZE CAUSING A/C AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES AS WELL. THEY CLAIM THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE...YEA, RIGHT! NISSAN WON'T DO ANYTHING BUT HAS TOLD US TO CALL THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT # AND FILE A COMPLAINT...OH AND THEY'LL GIVE ME $500 FOR A CAR THAT'S WORTH $6,000+. THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT IT IN THE YEARS THAT I BROUGHT UP THE ISSUE. BEWARE OF NISSAN!

ON FEBRUARY 5TH 2011 I TOOK MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER FOR ENGINE LIGHT GOING ON. THEY TOLD ME MY TRUCK WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I AM UNDER THE ALLOWED MILEAGE AND MY TRUCK IS TO BE RETURNED ON JUNE 1ST 2011. I WAS CHARGED A WHOPPING $581.26 FOR A PIECE THAT ONLY COST $41.79. I HAD ALSO PUT DOWN ON THIS VEHICLE AT TIME OF LEASE $4,517.00. CONSIDERING THIS CAR HAD A RECALL, AND ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AFTER, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAD PAY THIS AMOUNT. I WILL NEVER LEASE FROM THEM AGAIN. I FEEL I WAS RIPPED OFF AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED MY $581.26. I KEPT COPIES OF ALL FOR LEGAL PURPOSES. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE THIS MATTER. *TR
