My daughter is 15yrs old and she has $2500 saved up for her 1st car and I told her I'd match what she had. She found a 2008 Nissan Altima for $5000 and fell in love with the car. Within a week to 2 weeks after purchase, the transmission went completely out. Nissan consumer affairs had me take it to a dealership to run diagnostics on it before they would look into giving me funds that were set aside for this exact issue - only to deny my claim and leave me with the bill for diagnostics. Plus I had to pay for the tow to dealership and now pay for a tow - to where? I don't know?
I didn't need a diagnostic test ran on it because it was clearly the transmission... HELLO!!! Any moron could figure that out when the car doesn't move in reverse or drive... Please help!! My daughter saved for the last 3 years for that car and she's a straight A student. She has worked very hard and for this to happen is just plain B.S.
