I have been told my 03 pathfinder is un repairable. NOW WHAT????
From my understanding, if the vehicle is unrepairable, the dealership should take the vehicle off the road and provide you with a rental. Then the dealership will send a report to Nissan about it. What happens after that is still an open question but I assume they’ll offer you some money for the vehicle.
I took my ’03 QX4 in for this recall, and they completed the repair in about 6 hours, there was another QX4 that could not be fixed and was told it will be crushed. The technician said the owner was highly ticked off. Infinit has to the owner compensation, the amount I don’t know.
I room my vehicle in today a 2000 Pathfinder. They called me to tell me that my problem was unfixable &I can’t have my car back till they told me I would have to get the rental they reserved & paid for & I’ll hear from them next week in what they’ll do to “buy back” my vehicle. Im scared they wont offer me what my vehicle is worth. Kbb says 7400 & I hope they honor that. Il post again when I find what happens. I’ve read some other forums where others have been waiting for a few weeks. The rental company had the car reserved for thirty days for me at least for now & I didn’t have to pay for it.
I brought my pathfinder in for the strutt recall, they only sprayed the wheel wells, three days later it is towed to my garage with a problem they couldn’t solve towed it back to Nissan dealer and cost me 625.00 for a distributor. I think it was a scam!!
I was notified to bring my 2002 pathfinder into my dealer for an inspection of the driver side strutt housing that may have a corrosian problem. After my dealer’s inspection I was told the problem was unrepairable, I’ve been in a rental car for three weeks now and have yet to be contacted. Whats up Nissian? What are you going to do!
I have a 2002 pathfinder which was purchased im MIami Florida butb this vehicle was shipped outside outside of the USA .I will like some assistance /advice about how to inspect or rectify this vehicle for the recsll(strut power housing) concerns mentioned.
