Purchased a vehicle from them cash in hand. No negotiation, just wanted questions answered. 2013 Pathfinder. Known transmission issues (but has an open recall)... asked if the transmission had been replaced. Was told that it hadn't yet been replaced. Test drove the vehicle and it seemed okay, so we bought it. A weekend passes with a couple hundred miles driven, and I get out and smell burning fluids. Strong smell. Call them and they say to bring it into their mechanic in Lebanon and they'd run through it.
They keep the vehicle and I have to Uber home. 3 weeks passes and they finally call and tell me that the transmission cooler had failed and they replaced it and I was good to go now. I was also told at this point that the transmission had already been replaced not once, but twice. Once due to it being failed on sale, and once due to their own mechanics failure.
A couple weeks passed and the vehicle begins to lose power and won't shift. Check engine light comes on and I run it through AutoZone diagnosis and they tell me that there's a sensor gone bad on the transmission. I change that sensor myself, and notice metal flake on the sensor. I'm immediately concerned. I attempt to call them, get no response. I follow that up with having the vehicle brought to a nissan dealership where they tell me the transmission needs a full replacement and it will cost me the lions share of what I paid for the vehicle to begin with.
I'm about 3000 miles into owning the vehicle with over 10k invested in it. After my trip to Nissan, I spoke with someone on the phone who said they'd speak with the owner and call me back in a day or two. It's been over a week now and haven't heard a word.
Bottom line, go somewhere reputable. And if you buy from here.. have a real dealership run through it before you agree to anything. You'll be lied to over and over and over. read more
