Nissan is apparently asking actual customers to borrow their vehicles for a few weeks of “testing,” and a man named Matthew Rutledge is going viral after sharing the unbelievable request on his TikTok, @thatsmrdad. Back in August, Rutledge says he got a letter in the mail that essentially said, “Hey, we know there was a recall on your truck’s emission system, so can we just take it for a few weeks to run some tests?”
I honestly can’t believe a car company would send a letter like that (or make the commercials they do), but Nissan did offer him a pretty sweet deal for the inconvenience. The automaker apparently wasn’t planning on leaving Rutledge high and dry, which, to be fair, is a nice gesture. Rutledge quickly pointed out one upside: “They said they would pay me for the inconvenience,” and they also offered him a loaner car with unlimited miles while his truck was gone.
