    Answered
    I purchased a Nissan Pathfinder 2016 used it is a lemon. I purchased an extended warr .plan. In less than 6 months. I began to have issues ie: transmission there were covered by extended warr. had issues after the repairs. Continually bring back to the dealer 4th time since May 31st to dealer about the same problem with the air conditioner not cooling. They did not have a lease vehicle to lend me so I had to wait for repair. They have had my car for approx 2 mons. on this issue. I have to pay a deductible each time i take it in to them.. they ordered a part a month ago & it has not come in yet. this time the Service Mgr. told me this was a in house fix they would eat it. I want them to find a part They would have to charge me $100-$150 for a diagnostic to be run. I would think they would take that on themselves after all these times coming back in for the same problem. Also a knocking in the front left end. find out what that is. wanting to take a long trip south & west. Also when I start up the car I hear a squealing that sounds like a belt repair.? They say they will look at it & return it back to me not fix or talk to me about it. They need to get your repairs right when a car is brought in & I have brought it up to them. They seem to get by with the least they have to do. This bad Customer Service.

    I purchased a new 2022 Nissan Rogue Sport SL in May of 2023. After a few months I noticed the Navigation Map was out of date. I tried to update using the cars radio as instructed thru Nissan web search. I downloaded the maps and got the message that the maps currently on the navigation system were up to date. The maps were dated 2017. Nissan dealership, Nissan Connect and Nissan consumer affairs all said they could do nothing. I fell like I purchased the navigation system that is worthless. **** ******
