Battery was replaced and two days later it started powering off again as the vehicle was warming up, and as i was idle at red lights. Has turned off 6 times total since purchasing car 17 days ago. Called nissan consumer affairs and finance which authorized return of the vehicle. Dealership did not comply stating that i had to make reasonable attempts to repair per the lemon law. Do not purchase nissan, they have worked the loopholes to go against the consumer, protect themselves, and not create recalls for this. Other competitor dealerships accept returns on vehicle malfunctions within 30 - 60 days after purchase. Nissan does not offer this same option because they know their products have faults. |
