Nissan certainly finds itself on the horns of a dilemma. Of course, if they take what we would see as the "high road" (paying huge amounts for repairs to make the known defect right), they would face a massive blow financially. Or they can play "tough," save themselves money, and leave the problems for the consumers to pay the price. Given that they're putting out a product that they know will fail, often after wty expiration, and obviously not telling customers (so that they'll go ahead and buy), were I a customer (I'm another one-time Nissan customer, other reasons, another story) I'd be really angry and yes, I'd shun their entire line as their deserved reward for shafting me in the past. No, there's no perfect car or car company, but that doesn't mean that customers have to simply sit back and "take it" when a company like Nissan treats them incredibly badly. BTW, have you heard of the Uzi Nissan (the computer guy who had the audacity to beat Nissan to the obvious web site name) saga?
