“Dealer is denying responsibility for the problems I am having. I brought the truck 4 times for ABS, 3 for A/C not working & engine light remains on. I just finished arbitration and bbb auto line decided that ABS is not a safety issue despite the fact that the Nissan manual shows the importance of it in braking. I think the arbitrator is not fair and influence directly by the dealership. ***dimssii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis***770777”
