2012 Nissan Sentra electrical complaints

Vehicle was purchased used and the battery died after 3mos and 3000 miles, dealer refused to replace. Purchase price for new battery is $145.00 I find this charge ridiculous. This vehicle is used maybe every other day since we have 2 cars. The dealer said the car still has 60,000 miles warranty. On a certified pre owned vehicle I do not except having to put a new battery in the car. I must ask what kind of inspection do you guys do, and should I expect more things to go wrong with this car.

Shifter assembly binding. Of course it is not under warranty. Dealership will not investigate why it is binding. They just want to replace it for $637.00. It had only 56,000 miles when I drove it into the service department for the diagnosis. I purchased an extended warranty because I bought the car when it had 46,000 plus miles. It is a 2012 make. I am researching on the computer to see what could be the cause of the binding problem. Had a previous nissan in the early nineties and no problem.

Seat belt chime on vehicle does not work as advertised in owner's manual. Chime is supposed to function/sound to let driver know seat belt is unfastened but does not work. Nissan say the chime is unimportant and it is no longer a feature even though it is advertised in the owner's manual to work. I consider it an important safety feature to ensure my kids buckle up and expect it to work as advertised. I was told by the nissan service tech's and sales person that it can be reprogrammed but nissan are not willing to do this. I feel this feature should work as it is advertised as working and it's an important safety feature to ensure driver's fasten their seat belt. Nissan have also refused to respond through email with an explanation to my inquiry through their website. Other nissan models have this feature working.
