RACV vehicle test done - ok result. car purchased its a lemon - should RACV compensat
Hi
I purchase an auto Nissan Patrol, Had the RACV vehicle inspection done before purchase. Report came back fine
But within days, within a few kms of driving it, I became aware of an issue with the Transmission.
Long story short, every maybe 1-5 to 1-10 occasions when I would pull up to a stop at a set of lights, then take off, the car is crawling away in 4th gear. Only way to short term fix it is turn the engine off & on and that fixes it, otherwise, every subsequent stop, the car crawls away in 4th gear. Then within a short time the issue re occurs
I have not seen my car in 4 months, been through 4 different mechanics, issue finally isolated to the Transmission control module, but still getting fixed / new part replacement required etc.
This is costing me 000's.
I know in RACV's fine print it states they cannot identify all possible sporadic mechanical issues.
I'm just wondering if I have anything I can go on here, should RACV be compensating me here. Is their fine print worth the paper its written on.
