Manual Transmission problems of the 2007 Nissan Frontier

Within a few months of purchasing my 2007 Nissan Frontier, I noticed a disturbing grinding noise coming from behind my dash board. When I brought this to the attention of my dealership, they informed me that if they could not replicate this noise at the time, there was nothing that could be done. Afterwards, the noise was only more noticeable. I searched the internet for other people with similar problems. It turns out that the noise coming from behind the dashboard was being produced by a defective clutch. I saw at least 5 to 10 of the same exact complaints and their dealings with service that determined the clutch problem. At this time, I was quite worried about the condition of my vehicle. It is very dangerous to have a defective clutch on any car, let alone a 2 plus ton truck. The ramifications are endless: getting stuck on railroad tracks, at an intersection, crashing into another vehicle. . . The dealership would continue to misdiagnose or not diagnose the problem. I made several complaints while the vehicle was under warranty. I provided them with evidence that the vehicle did have a defective clutch and even drove a technician around in the vehicle to reproduce the noise that they did not hear. I was informed that it would be covered under warranty by a service advisor. While they had the vehicle, a different person informed me 2 days later that they inspected the clutch, found it to be worn, and that I was responsible for it. I was able to do nothing except pay for the repair to get my truck back. Nissan informed me that I should sue, because there was nothing they could do. In conclusion, a defect that was noticed at approximately 2,000 miles ended up costing me over $2,000. 00 and potentially my life while the defect was dismissed and misdiagnosed. Being that there are dozens of people with the same problem, I would have assumed that this problem would have been rectified without this much turmoil.
