I purchased a 2003 Nissan Xterra in July 2015 - In Dec, the engine locked up due to a faulty temperature gauge. I was on I-95 and was fortunate not to be injured.

Spoke to the dealership - they stated there's nothing they can do. Now, the vehicle is siting at Autoworld and needs a new or remanufactured engine. That's $3K into a car that I've owned for less than 6 months!

Frustrated.

Update: Received a message that the reduced repair costs is now $5000.00 - where's the discount?

Furthermore - bought a used engine and with installation, another 3K - When I moved, I took the car to a local Firestone - the engine failed 22 monitors - the tech advised I should take the vehicle to an engine shop, to determine if it's salvagable........really? So, I decided tom trade it in,payed nearly 2400.00 in negative equity ---

W O R S T car buying experience ever.
