grrr... so upset.
My 22 year old son purchased a used 2007 nissan altima from the local Nissan dealer on June 4, 2017 ( a little over 2 months ago).
Yesterday on our way home from the beach, the engine exploded. literally. we were driving in the center lane of a highway at 70 mph and heard a buzzing sound, 2 seconds later smoke was pouring from the engine and it was dead.
We were lucky no one rammed into us and were able to coast to the side.
long story short, had AAA tow it back to the dealership, unfortunately service was closed for the holiday.
Now after the dust has settled I'm scared the dealer is going to give us some crap and not fix it. It was not a "as is" purchase but the paper work doesn't say any thing about the warranty.
Haven't heard from the dealership yet (it's still early).
any advice??
My son dropped most of his savings into the purchase because he didn't want a car note. he's in his senior year in college and works part time.
ps. please don't say, he's 22 let him handle it by himself. Yes I know he's an adult but jeez louise, I'd like to help the kid.
