Default my 2007 had to be towed

and not because of a wreck.

friday afternoon my clutch pedal just went to the floor.
it happened when i was getting on the intertstate friday afternoon.

i got to the side of the road and checked my clutch master cylinder and it was empty; i had a huge puddle of brake fluid underneath my car and had to wait 3 hours for my 150 dollar, 1.7 mile tow fee to happen.....

not a good weekend.

plus the nissan dealer said that theyre "backed up" and they dont know when they can look at my car...

Nissan doesn't have road side assistance that comes with your warranty?

If you bought the car from that dealership, I would recommend talking to the sales manager about how unhappy you are. If he doesn't get the service department to take care of you immediately, I would escalate it to the general manager and then to the owner of the dealership.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune

how many miles do you have on your 07? I have almost 5k and it's perfect even with spirited driving. *knock on wood*

Pretty sure that's only Infiniti, to get that service with Nissan you need to purchase an extended warranty.

I have 8K miles on my 2007 and it runs better than when I picked it up. Sorry for your troubles. Sometimes you just get a bad part. Oh well.
