“MY FRONTIER DIED ON 12/6 / ON 12/7/2015, I HAD IT TOWED TO THE BOARDWALK NISSAN AND PAID $100 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. I WAS TOLD THE REPAIRS WOULD COST $10,500. THE RADIATOR CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT IN TURN CAUSING THE COMPUTER PANEL TO BURN OUT. I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISER WAS THERE SOMETHING I COULD'VE DONE TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM. HE SAID NO, THE PROBLEM HAPPENS. I THEN HAD THE TRUCK TOWED HOME. NOW, I FIND OUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN SHOULD'VE KNOWN ABOUT, HAD THEY MADE THE REPAIRS TO THE RADIATOR, MY TRUCK WOULD BE WORKING TODAY. THIS MAKES ME ANGRY. IT MAKES ME ANGRY THAT I JUST PAID $317.44 TO REPLACE TIRE SENSORS THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN NEEDED!! THE RADIATOR ISSUE RESULTED IN A $417.44 EXPENSE THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN NECESSARY ($100 FOR A DIAGNOSIS). THE TRUCK WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR ON 12/6/15, IT WOULDN'T START. THINKING IT WAS A BATTERY ISSUE, I WAITED UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING; ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WASN'T THE BATTERY. I CALLED BOARDWALK NISSAN AND HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS & REPAIRS ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WOULD COST ME $10,500.”
