2005 Nissan X-Trail dCi SVE review from UK and Ireland
"It is not supported by a caring manufacturer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Between the date of purchase of the car as new in May 2005 and 20th October 2006 I had not experienced any mechanical problems with the car.
On the 20th October whilst away on holiday the clutch failed whilst towing my caravan. I was brought home to my local dealer on a low loader.
The diagnosis was confirmed as a burnt out clutch.
A warranty claim was submitted to Nissan who after consideration rejected the claim, but agreed to make a good will payment of 50% of the repair costs.
This was their only and final offer.
General comments?
Nissan warranty does not do what it professes to do!
