Offered only the $650; that it was my fault not having been the original owner who brought it in regularly for service with a dealership and that outside shop recommendation was a "kiss of death" for any dealership. Do they not stand by their service bulletins? it was a known problem they didn't check it when car was under warranty and now I pay because it is out of warranty? is this fair. Oh, but they will sell, wholesale to the "outside shop" the part or parts needed, at a lesser amount. That seems a bit inconsistent with their reasoning, doesn't it? it was me, the consumer, who found and brought to the passport Infiniti svc mgr the service bulletin itb00-028b to show them the problem. They said once goodwill services makes a call on an appeal there is no other recourse. I think they should stand by their problems and pay for the repair.
