Just bought a 2004 Nissan Maxima with a limited warranty for Powertrain only (1,000 miles or 30days). When cleaning out glove box I found a form that was suppose to be on the glass with lots of “issues” about my car, including a bent or twisted frame and cracked block or head. AG office is of no h…

Have you asked the selling dealer about the information? Does the paper include a VIN # that identifies your vehicle? The warranty does not help or hurt in this case unless something goes amiss. Some to most states require selling dealers or even private sellers sometimes to devulge the informatio…

I have not contacted the dealer about what I found in the glove box. Want to know if I have any recourse and my state does not have a Lemon Law except for NEW vehicles. On the back of this page of multiple issues is the BUYER’S GUIDE and it does designate my car by VIN # so it is referring to the…

Call your lawyer. Get legal advice. If possible return the car and get your money back before the trouble starts. The limited warranty is unlikely to be of any use to you. In the future avoid buying cars from this particular dealer.

This is a tough lesson to learn but this is why you should always have a used car inspected by a mechanic of YOUR choosing, before you finalize the purchase.

Inspected at the dealership you bought it from?

What state are you in? Laws vary a bit state by state. You have a copy of a 30 day limited powertrain warranty so I would think this should cover any engine/transmission fautl but it can be very difficult to push an issue like this. The thing now is figuring out what any alleged engine issue may b…

You should contact the dealer immediately and explain the situation. Tell them you want to return the car, and may be willing to exchange it for another from them. Don’t guarantee that you will, though. If there is no adhesive tape or just adhesive on the paper, it obviously was not on the window.
