Can't believe some people a ready to give up on Nissan because of a minor problem like spring on the hatch. I think there is a little more to deciding on what make of car to purchase and every other maker is going to have some issue. I can understand that they have to see the actual problem before they can fix it under warrantee, intermittent problems are always an issue. In the case of a bad dealer, I would just go to another.

Believe it! Was it my or error or Nissan's error that my $40K car had the wrong springs? And you're right every other dealership (foreign or domestic) have problems and are full of asses that work in them. There are a very small percentage of people who would much rather keep a customer than lose one over $100. I'm not to 'bent outta shape' eventually if I need the new part I will purchase it, only a fool would wait 2 hours to have spring lifts replaced. There's no way I would purchase another vehicle from Nissan, "cause I'm funny about where I spend my money!"

only a fool would spend money when it's unnecessary? i just pulled out my iphone and headphones, then sat back, listened to some music, and played some games. pretty decent morning, lol.
if you would like to go purchase a BMW as your next car, feel free, but if you have a problem then you will be forced to leave your car with them, as that's how mechanics work.

- Windshield wipers turn themselves on and will not turn themselves off. Call the dealer - "We need you to come in to verify." Ok, no problem. I'll bring it right in. "Oh no, not today, but we can get you in a week from next Tuesday." - After more than a week spent having to work the wipers by popping the hood and pulling/replacing the fuse, I bring it in. Evidently it's a known issue and they don't even pop the hood. "Yep, they won't turn off. We'll order the part and call you." - No call, but 10 days later I get a postcard telling me the part's in. Thanks for the extra few days delay it took for the mail to bring it. I call . . . "We can get you in a week from next Tuesday . . ." All told more than a month of climbing out of the car and opening the hood to turn wipers on every time it rained, most of which would've been avoided if they would've ordered the part right away and got me in quickly when it arrived. Good luck with the BMW, and remember . . . they ARE doing you a favor by allowing you to buy one. |
