Car is 6 days old and already in the shop

Econ · 02-04-2011, 03:43 PM

Bought a 2009 Nissan 370z (it was New with 20 miles), on saturday.

Well last night I get in the car to go home from work, and what do you know, it wont start. The little key light came on the dashboard, and well yea had to get it towed.

Its been at Miller Nissan in Fairfield, CT since last night, and I must say they are pretty horrible as far as customer service is concerened. They told me the car would be diagnosed by 12pm, and to call them then. Well everytime I call they just put me through to voicemail.... Its now almost 5 and have not heard a thing from them.

We'll see....

Ouch! That really sucks, man. This key issue is actually becoming quite common. We've had a handful pop up in the last few weeks.

Huh? A "handful in the last few weeks" does not equal "quite common"...

well looks like I did not have the same problem as other forum members have been experiencing.

I only had a bad battery, as opposed to steering lock sensor malfunction.

Yea, it was never sold... still at the original dealer the manufacturer shipped it to and everything.

My original factory waranty started the day I bought it (on saturday 1/29)

PapoZalsa · 02-04-2011, 03:46 PM

I would go straight to the dealer if I could!

kenchan · 02-04-2011, 03:49 PM

so im guessing it is either a weak battery or IPDM issue.
