Nissan is a sh!t show company.

Before making one payment on it, the paint started peeling on multiple parts of the car. I had to argue with the original dealer and Nissan NA to get it repaired. That is when I realized Nissan is a 3rd rate auto manufacturer. The paint started peeling on the repair and Nissan told me essentially to go pound sand. That was strike one.



My steering lock failed and Nissan refused that repair under the recall even though the part number was the exact same for the 2008-2010 models. People on this forum argued and said it did not effect the 2011's but it sure af did. That was strike two.



The one time I needed an alignment, I went to the dealership and rather than do an alignment, they took my GTM SC'ed car on a 5 mile joy ride. I had video and picture evidence to prove it. They could not even produce an alignment sheet. After making a colorful scene inside the dealership sales floor, someone in management refunded my money. Nissan NA again told me the dealers are "independent" and to pound sand. That was strike three.



Two years ago, my dash got a shiny, greasy appearance. The car had less than 40k on it and is 100% garaged. I research online and find out this a common problem with several Nissan models and to try your luck at the dealersh!t. Once again the dealer and Nissan NA told me to pound sand. That was strike four.



Now I receive a passenger airbag inflator recall notice in the mail from Nissan NA. I do exactly what the notice asks me to do. I waste 1/2 the day chasing my tail because the dealer says the recall only applies to certain states. Why the F is Nissan mailing recalls to Arizona if the recall only applies to certain states not including Arizona. That is strike 5 for those who are counting. It took me 4 calls including hang ups to get someone from Nissan NA to just tell me we made a mistake go pound sand and we don't care we sent you on a wild goose chase.







I do not care what the next Z looks like or how it performs. I will never set foot in another dealer or ever give Nissan a penny. They are struggling financially and I for one hope they go under. Screw their heritage. I will drive anything before I would consider Nissan again. So F you Nissan.
