Description of the problem | Purchased two 2014 nissan pathfinders on october 2013 from sheehy nissan of annapolis. After 1500 miles on one of them started hearing a noise from the left driver's side area only when going over 55mph. Took to dealership tech heard the same problem but was not sure what was causing the noise. After a week pasted someone from nissan came down to look at the truck at this point i told dealer i no longer wanted truck and that i would like another new vehicle in its place and did not mind paying a few dollars more for and upgraded model. So the gm came back with some good numbers and off the lot i went with another brand new 2014 fully loaded pathfinder on march 8th 2014 i started feeling this very hard shuddering when driving 0-20mph i thought it would stop but it just got worst so on march 10th 2014 i dropped truck off at the dealership for service and tech was able to hear and feel what i felt and they placed a called to nissan which advised them to replace the transmission and that it would take a week. When i went to pick up the truck on friday march 14th 2014 they pulled it into the bay i got in the drivers set started the truck and right away i noticed that the steering wheel did not go down only up and down. I called the service rep over and advised him what was going on and he called his manager over and they both shook their heads and said you are really having a tuff time with these pathfinders and said what do you want to do drive it over the weekend to test out the new transmission or leave it here? So i told him leave it here and that this was crazy he said he agrees and that he would call nissan monday and let them know that now the now the steering wheel has problems. |
