Well its been a year and a month since I have owned the car. It was previously owned. I first started noticing something was wrong when the was a faint burning smell. Then I notice the the transmission was lagging. So I made an appointment with Auto Nation to discuss what is wrong with the truck. As I was traveling to the dealer the truck just gave up on me on the interstate in the cold with my two year old. They wouldn't help me get it towed saying that I had to have it towed myself.

Upon reaching them they told me that my warranty doesn't cover the clutch. I told them that there is a rising problem with the clutch as I have read on www.nissianproblems.com. The mechanic then gave me a number to Nissan's hotline. So there I stand. They also quoted me a bill around 3k just to fix it.
