As for their shitty service and that girl's unprofessional and childish text messages, that's what people will remember so blast them in social media.

Once we have a solid answer on how the fire started I'm pretty sure it will be shared with everyone.

Very unfortunate situation. I would call the insurance and see if they can direct or help in finding someone to help with legal representation. The insurance company have lawyers.

I hope this gets resolved in your favor bro, scummy stealerships need to a reality check

[jaedub]

Left them a 1 star review. Hope everything goes in your favor. GL

Lets not forget yelp and google reviews, facebook is not the only avenue people have to deal with and determine whether or not to use these douche lamps!

They deserve every bit of it and then some.

There are countless examples online of dealerships and other like businesses trying to screw someone over then the wrath of the Internet comes down on them and they regret it for years. The Web is a whole lot bigger than Minot

The Insurance is paying for the repairs as of now. It's over a month now without the Z. They didn't want me to have to wait anymore. I am still actively seeking legal aid, however most of the lawyers in this town don't handle this kind of case. I may have found one. so I am going to speak with him on monday.

The kicker? car was parked at the service department and they drove it two miles knowing there was a fire hazard



What pisses me off even more is Isamu is military and it shows that the dealership doesn't care about our military members.

I'm posting this up to hopefully spread the word and to see if there's anyone knows anyone that can help him or get as much media attention as we can to get the dealership to respond. Seeing this happen to one of our own pisses me off to no end and I know this will piss off majority of the members here as well.

Here's a link to the dealerships facebook page

Very unfortunate situation indeed. But, I don't think Isamu being military gives him a higher spot on the totem pole. I'm ex-military and I don't think I should be treated any better or different than someone who didn't serve.

If the situation is truly as has been presented here (going by what I've seen of Isamu and DeliriousClam on this site, I'm betting that it is very close if not spot on), then his race, age, political affiliation, marital status, &c don't really matter. He got screwed and deserves to be made whole. The fact that he is in the service is not a major factor, but it is a factor (to me, at least). I would feel the same way if he were a cop, fireman, or other "public servant" that has to put their life on the line. YMMV

There are some scummy dealerships all over and it's not overly surprising that these guys have decided to stonewall (bearing in mind that we're only hearing one side of the story here).

Regardless, it seems like a straightforward problem to me.

1. Ask them to take responsibility
2. If they fail to do so, file an insurance claim
3. Let the insurance company worry about recovering from the dealer's insurance company
4. Go back and sue the dealer (small claims court or otherwise) for the deductible or loss for replacementand other incidentals.

I'd also be bombarding Nissan with complaint letters as well as the state's Attorney General's office, and of course there's always social media. Those things would come after getter the car repaired, replacement rental, etc.

Cops won't get involved in this, its a civil matter not a criminal matter. Also this problem has nothing to do with the dealership not respecting the military. That's a silly assumption. This is completely about money and modifications made to the engine. BTW I am 20 years retired military!

you are correct, it doesn't give me a higher place on the totem pole. However, it does put them in a bad spot as the base, and it's personnel don't take kindly to these sorts of shenanigans. It's not unheard of for a base to blacklist a dealership over something like this.
