Description of the problem | We bought a nissan pathfinder 2013 brand new from nissan dealership. After 2 months ,suv transmission shuddering occurred . We contact the dealer ship and manufacturing people they replaced (october. )transmission to refurbished . December 2013 same thing happen but took it again to same dealership workshop, they said they didn't find anything. Asked us to get used to driving this suv. But it's been going on. Finally we took it again to different dealership we bought this from, they found same transmission issue . Nissan manufacturing & dealership fighting their best to not to replace a new car or new transmission . Only refurbished transmission and it won't come with extended warranty. Current miles on the suv is 15,821.. We really hate to be their ginny pig with this small kids. Reason i'm writing this to you cause, we are really frustrated, not safe to drive this vehicle with small kids. I have 5 year old and 6 month old at home. When i drive this vehicle i'm scared and pray before when we go anywhere and we are uncomfortable due to back shuddering problem (loosing power) . We felt we been cheated and got no justice for the money and time we spend on this piece of junk we bought . We already spend a lot of money for this vehicle don't have enough money to spend on lawyer, so would you please do some investigation, please consider our issue seriously . My kids are 5 year old and 6 month old. We felt like we spend more time and energy on this issue more than our kids. Its breaking our heart that no one care. |
