One of our forum members getting screwed over by a dealership

[Leingod]

Did anyone forward any of this to Jalopnik? They usually bring out pitchforks real quick when a dealership screwes with a customer.

I recommend more people put reviews on google considering most people would google the dealership to get the phone number versus on FB. If I wasn't deployed I'd get a statement from my mechanic. Good luck bro

Thanks man! if you need anything while you're over there, let me know. I know how awesome getting mail can be when you are in the sandbox

Can't link to reviews directly but Google 'ryan nissan google review' and then select More Reviews and you will see it.

I just sent out an email to Jalopnik, Steve Lehto, and a few other attorney friends to see what they say. I'll try to stop by my local shop tonight to talk with my personal auto tech.

that is a bit f****d

[Leingod]

No word from jalopnik or Lehto. The old lawfirm I use to work at all agreed that you should lawyer up out of county. This is strictly a dealership fault. Especially if you went in with the dealership knowing you were paying out of pocket. Warranty voiding only works if the warranty is actually in place.

Mechanic was out. I'll give him another call tonight. How is RJM coming along with it?

Good, thought I was going to have to make an account over there and knock some heads together lol

Disagreeing with something like this on a public forum is one thing, trying to fix what reputation that dealership still has in spite of their opinions on Isamu's situation is complete BS and I would have a few choice words for them.

We are trying to do as much as possible help Isamu out here and having a bunch of "kids" screwing with what we are able to do is BS.


Speaking of which, I went to my shop on Thursday 6/16/16 and talked to my service guys (does bolt ons, asthetics, service, no engine drops, tranny/clutch work) at 168 Motoring about everything and he had the following things to say after giving me a very shocked look most of the time:

RE- mechanic not being able to re-create brake failure due to brake line fluid leak in service bay, needed to take vehicle on test drive at highway speeds to test. Engine bay caught fire after test drive in service bay.

"We never take our customers cars out for a test drive at highway speeds because is unnecessary. Not only that you have no brakes... so why take the car out at highway speeds? You wouldn't be able to stop.
There's no situation that would help a vehicle with a known brake fluid leak on a test drive, period."

I asked him what the dealership should have done to prevent this;

"They should have fixed the brake line, cleaned the engine bay from any brake line fluid and residue, filled the brake lines, waiting for any sort of leak to form. If no leak formed, then take it for a test drive to make sure that after braking usage there was still no leak formed. Not to highway speeds though."

I asked him if that was the same thing he would do the same thing the dealership did or if he would do it the way he just said.

He said "The way I just said is the only way it should have been done"

Don't have a document written up, but hope it helps!
