I guess I know why Nigerians don't like Nissan cars. I bought a Nissan murano and shipped it to nigeria. It probably got there in 2010 or so. No sure of dates but in august 2013. The transmission failed. This is a car that has been know to have transmission problems and this is why they have an extended CVT transmission to 120,000 miles because they know there was a fault in the design of the transmission . Now my vehicle is only about 30,000 miles . I called Nissan and they told me because the car is not in the USA, the warranty is void. But I keep wondering, why is the warranty void. At least you can say, maybe because in Africa the roads are worse, maybe the warranty mileage is less. I think if these companies don't want to give waranties to cars they sell to Africa then they have to stop doing business with us at all. I think it's time African governments stand up to these companies and say if you are not going to warranty cars that you sell to us or are in our countries like other countries , then that's fine , we ll ban your cars from being shipped into our countries. There's a lot of double standard.
