Am I Being Unrealistic?

kenchan

yah, a local supermarket uses such programs. toilet bowl cleaner in the same bag as my veggies , meat with dry goods , frozen foods with kids' notebook and bday cards (completely ruined obviously)

and one pulling at our shopping cart to take back into the store WHILE i was placing said ruined items into my car.

after 5-6 of this, i dont go there any more. i think the program need to find the right jobs for these individuals instead of just letting them 'try it.' same goes with smoking 400lbs crack grease marker.

I hear what you're saying Ken but to be honest with you....and I work with the physically and mentally challenged...I think I would rather have a few of them drive my car then the Sasquatch that I had to deal with. I least they wouldn't have given me an attititude.

kenchan

the teen yanking at the shopping cart had an attitude. i think he even called me a "chink" and said to hurry up. lol i just smiled and calmly said 'hold on now, im almost done' as if i was talking to my kids' misbehaving friends.

i wasnt angry at them, rather i was not happy at the non-existent supervison. i dont plan on shopping there anytime soon.

^ they've been doing that at home depot now too. It's gets annoying but what are you gonna do. We all gotta eat

JohnsZ

ahhh.....haaaaaaaaaa! And I don't plan to ever go to that Nissan Dealership again!!! The world is crumbling my friends

kenchan

uh oh, what happened to you and your car now? did they scratch it?

JohnsZ

Ha ha ha! God forbid! I'm freaking out because I have to bring it in (trying a new Nissan Dealship) on Thursday because there is some debris in my ventilation system that some critter brought in when the previous owner had it. The other "infamous" day when I brought it in to THE HOUSE OF SASQUATCH, they not only changed my oil but I also complained of hearing a noise in the AC/Heater fan when I turned it on. It turned out to be acorns which the techs at the Dealer cleaned out but I still hear debris in there so I'm going to try another dealership and have them clean out the entire vent system. Obviously I can't go back to T.H.O.S. I burned that bridge. By the way, I never heard back from the Service Manager after I complained to him about Sasquatch. So now...as fate would have it, I will be going to another dealership on Thursday. Do I even DARE to ask them not to adjust the seating position? There's not that many Nissan Dealships in CT. I may have to go to another state for service pretty soon.

john- oh i see. there was a TSB for the engine cooling system where some loose sealant rattles. does the noise stop when your a/c is off? if so does not apply.

here is the link:
Tsb: 2007-2009 nissan z; tapping noise from dash area when engine is running

IF YOU CONFIRM
A tapping noise coming from the dash area when the engine is running at operating
temperature,
NOTE: This tapping noise, if it should occur, sounds like a screwdriver being tapped on
the work bench. The tapping speed increases and decrease with the engine RPM and
may require engine RPM of about 3000 for the noise to be heard.


DETERMINE IF
The noise is coming from inside the heater core (see Service Procedure).


ACTION
“Back-Flush” the heater core to remove gray silicone debris.

I don't see why they have to move the seat to move the car 20 feet to the bay the car will be serviced and back.

Thanks Ken for the info but I'm sure it's mouse related or some other rodent especially given the fact that they found several acorns in the filter. Plus, there has always seemed to be a faint animal kind of smell in the interior so I want to make sure that a dead mouse is still not in there. I should have told you that it dosen't matter if the AC is on or not. You'll hear junk in the system just by turning on the fan. And it's weird because the noise isn't just one spot...you can hear dirt like debris moving around in different areas in the system which is especially noticeable when I turn up and then turn down the fan speed. Anyway I'll find out Thursday. Lets just hope that Sasquatch doesn't have a brother! Thanks for the AC info though

kenchan

np and GL (good luck)!

I brought my Z to another Nissan Dealer this morning to have the ventilation system checked out because I still hear more debris when I turn the fan on. Obviously I wasn't going to the other dealer where Sasquatch gave me the attitude about moving the seat. After my complaint to the service mgr, I happily burned that bridge. Right away, I notice a big difference in this dealership. First of all, I was able to drive it in the first bay myself where they write up the work order. Next, I could tell that these guys were "car crazy" like me and one of the other service guys there had a '91 Z modded out to over 500 hp so they could relate to Z enthusiaists. And although I wasn't going to say anything about the seat, I did anyway and they were like "no problem" and they actually wrote "not to adjust the seats" in big red letters on the work order for the techs and they said they get these requests often. So right away I like these guys. The car is at the dealer now and I'm waiting for them to call me when it's ready. They shuttled me to work and will be picking me up. I'm crossing my fingers that everything goes well with the ventilation system. I also wanted them to look at the bottom body side molding towards the front of the car on the driver's side where it looks like one of the clip or fasteners that holds it in place has come loose and it sticks out just a bit. Anyay, I'm hoping that this will be the dealer who I can trust for future services.

No offense but, why do you care so much about the the seats where you can easily adjust them back to the position you are comfortable with?

Good luck, I am betting they will fix one of two problems for you.

JohnsZ

No offense taken!
