| I purchased a 1999 chrysler cirrus from linnes nissan west in stanhope nj 8 months ago. since then, i've been having dangerous problem with this car. i took it back around 5 times to nissan. they gave me the run around. at one time during the winter my oil light,battery light came on,the car would cut off.. i called nissan and told them the problem. they instructed me to take it to nissan in bloomfield. my car was there one week. they called and said they haven't found any problem. so i went to pick up my car. i was about 10 minutes away and it cut off again. i was stuck on the street in winter storm trying to get this car started. i called nissan in stanhope to tell them bloomfield didn't fix my car because it cut out on me again. the next morning nissan in stanhope came to my house and had my car towed to them. my car was there for three or four days. a few month's pass. around april or may, i purchased a new battery from sears. one month later my battery light comes on while driving home from work. so i brought the car to nissan in stanhope. they look at it and said it was my battery but i had just purchase that battery a few weeks with that time frame. so i took it back to sears they installed another battery and said if this matter happens again take it back to nissan as it might be my alternator . a few week ago, this occured again so i called nissan and they aren't trying to help me out at all. i'm so fed up with this car & nissan. | |||
