<prompt> Human: Since Ive gotten PMs and a couple comments asking for more info about the extended warrantee:If you have any 2009 Nissan Altima or Maxima, apparently, your warranty was extended to 72 monthsunlimited miles from the date of purchase. Heres a link to Nissans FAQ about the warranty. Also, they say that the dealer is not the one to go to for further details, they actually want you to go through NissanAssist Back to the original postI think this is the right place, but Im not sure so let me know if theres a better sub for this.Ok, heres the deal, Id love any advice from people not so close to the problem:When she bought the car In November 14, she bought a 2009 Nissan Altima from a Nissan Dealer for 17K. Nissan issued a warranty extension for that yearmodel in 2013 because of regularly failing steering column locks At the time of purchase, the dealer did not mention the warranty extension to her not that hes obligated to, but stillThe Problem Last Wednesday, her car refused to start. She figured out it was the steering column lock which the dealer confirmed AAA towed the car to the dealer for her, and the dealer arranged a rental at 25day, and promised repairs would be done by Saturday - no discussion of pricewarrantee Car wasnt done until Monday afternoon, costing her an extra 50 plus gas for the rental than initially expectedAnd now the dealer is forcing her to pay the full 900, and of course isnt offering to cover the extra rental costs.I think Nissan should cover the 900 plus the rental fees. Is there anything she can do?TL;DR Girlfriend bought a used car from a dealer. 4 months later dealer is charging her full repair cost for a manufacturer defect they were aware of in her yearmodel. What can she do?Update: Youre all beautiful and thanks for the advice and well-wishes! I felt lucky when 2 of you responded. This many is ridiculous. Shes still working through the process with Nissan and Im still at work; all I know right now is that the dealership claims it was caused by a combination of saltcold weather. Ill let you all know how this ends when I find out.RE-Update Per uGraceGallis advice, she did fork over the 900 and has the car, now just trying to find out about any potential for a refund also she ended up paying like 130 for the rental  <response>: Dont have advice for your particular situation, but for what its worth, a friend of mine went through a very similar issue with a BMW dealer in the SF Bay area regarding a seat belt air bag sensor recall.He went on yelp and left a scathing review, calling people at the dealership out by name. He called corporate, spoke with every manager he could.Eventually the dealer caved and they covered the repair.
