They ask me to take the car back to Nissan so they can certify that the work they did was done according to the recall and fax them a copy.

I had to fax them the receipt, method of payment and a bunch of BS...

Mine was approved yesterday and now I have a huge dilemma. What do I spend the near $1300 on?

$1300????

I paid $597 for the part from Lou, the dealer did the work for free

i didn't have to take mine in. dealer didn't want me back there, guess i'm that big of a ****

yup 1300, had it towed and the dealer had to order the part since it was the first time they had heard of this happening. needless to say i was furious when i dropped it off. i think this is why the dealer didn't have to "verify" the work was done. i have never taken my car there for service and didn't buy it there but they made it seem like they were doing me a favor fixing it with me paying for it at the time. **** that dealer.

Hows it going guys I.just got a notice from nissan say they will replace the steering wheel column that malfunctions but I have already replaced this and paid 1085. Since I got this notice now will I be able to get a refund from them any one know for sure. Dont wanna waste a trip to the dealer ship if they gonna refuse me a refund.

Did it seize on you? Is that why you purchased a new one?

call them and give them your vin its out there, probably haven't been notified yet. i wasn't notified and already paid for the repair so i was watching like a hawk for one to be issued. as soon as i saw it i called them.

Go to the dealer. You don't need a letter. I'm at my dealer right now for a free oil change (sweet) and asked about the recall. They're replacing it today.

thispecialk · 04-18-2013, 12:27 PM

this is such a hassle. i called them up then they said i had to take my car in so they can close my recall in order for me to get reimburse. i thought that was it. after i got the recall closed out i called the consumer affairs and they told me now i gotta fax in my receipt. isnt all Nissan computer data base connected cant they just research on the computer how much i paid and verify it that way.. so bs

Finally got mine approved Friday. But I was told 2 to 4 weeks to receive the payment.

I hope I get it before ZdayZ....
