UPDATE** It's a done deal, Nissan is buying back my car

[Roo]

Got the call today, it'll be gone this month. I'll be reimbursed every dime I paid for the car plus a little extra. The wait was well worth it and I cannot wait to drop it off at the dealer.

Nope, I am turning away and running. Never again will I own another Nissan.

Wow, sorry but this is a bit extreme of a response, but to each their own.
Glad you are getting what you want, but, well I will keep my mouth shut.

Extreme, why? The car has many faults Nissan refuses to fix. Plus the majority of owners won't take a stance because they have blind love for the car and don't want to be without it. This took months of my life and every dealer I went to would literally talk down to my wife and myself and some would even get heated. Instead of Nissan doing the eight thing when I brought this issue up (with under 100 miles) was to swap out the car. They refused and instead made me waste months fighting. I'm done and after all the bad experiences I had with dealers I'll never buy another Nissan again.

This stance is extreme because you would be treated the same by any other manufacturer. It's a business.

I'd be pissed too and I probably would avoid Nissan out of emotion, but don't think you will be completely avoiding trouble.

I can understand your feeling---Burned once, Nissan's fault, burned twice my fault. You'll agree that this can happen with any make car and, in fact, does. But you should have been treated better. I would feel as you do and, being a lawyer, I probably would not have been as patient as you were. I would have filed suit early on. I would also buy another make car. Good luck to you.

Ouch. To each I guess.

Like I said, I am going to let you have your way and keep my mouth shut.

Goodbye.

I'm all ears. If I didn't want to converse then I wouldn't be posting on a message board

I'm good, it looks like vipor stated what I was going too, thanks though

I'll expand on my previous point.

Subaru initially gave customers a lot of issues on 08-09 WRX/STi motors. The 3rd or 4th piston was giving out and completely losing pressure. They refused to take back many cars even after replacing the engine 2 or 3 times.

When the Evo X came out there was an ECU problem (I think it was ECU?) that was causing engines to go. Same thing. Took them quite a bit to acknowledge the problem and I don't think they offered buybacks either.

GM has had multiple issues with the tranny in the Camaro -- and they've refused to do much about it other than say it is an issue and that it only happens with "high performance" driving anyway -- so why fix it?

Not to mention idling issues in the CTS.

Let's not forget Toyota -- I really don't even have to say anything here.

I know there are a lot of manufacturers that I missed but I guarantee major problems exist with them somewhere. It isn't that they are bad or anything, either. It's just that cars today are mass produced on a budget and something has to give somewhere. Even a Ferrari has mechanical and electrical issues -- in fact they are some of the worst for it.

Sometimes you run into a lemon. Other times you run into gold. It's really just what card you draw. It sucks you got a bad one, but really **** can happen everywhere.

Nissan has issues -- the Z isn't perfect. A bunch of posts here confirm that and I think there are very few true fanboys here, so I wouldn't call people blind or afraid to stop loving the car or whatever. We're just realistic, for the most part. That and we enjoy the car (usually).

edit:

All this happened at 3 local dealers, so please tell me WHY I should buy another Nissan?

In my years and my parent's years -- and friends, for that matter -- there is only one dealership I would even go to at all, period. Dealerships are dealerships for the most part.

edit2:

tl;dr -- buy what car makes you happy, regardless of what "issues" you see on the community forums or whatever. unless there is a huge recall or a glaring problem or something, but even those are fixed in time.
