The contact owns a 2003 Nissan Maxima. NHTSA recall 03V455000 was issued. And the consumer took vehicle to Nissan for recall repairs. However, Nissan refused to do the recall repairs. The recall went out in December 2003, but the consumer purchased vehicle in January 2003. She never received a recall notice, and the manufacturer stated that the recall work must have been done. They did not have the documentation to prove that it was done. The vehicle was currently in the repair shop because rear brakes failed, and the dealership refused S to repair the brakes. There were several other problems with the vehicle, such as the stereo, suspension, and other things that they will not repair. The vehicle was still under warranty.
