| Description of the problem | First problem-excesive oil leak coming from u joint drive shaft, after 3/4 complaints, i took pictures and the they were forced to replace the drive shaft. Second problem -vehicle won't start at times and if starts- cranks,check engine light came on several times. After 6/7 refusals that a problem exist, the dealer attempted to resolve the issue and finally replace the steering lock that according to them prevent starting the car. Sometimes when i am on the fwy i have the feeling that the engine is about to turn off. Currently the car is at the dealer for the same issue and again they refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem. Finally,when i went to take the car out of the dealer as soon as i closed my door from outside, the driver window rolled down and i was forced to leave the car at the dealer for one more day. Today they were asking me to pay about $500 for the window even though when i left the car with them, the window was working properly. I think that nissan is well aware of the faulty locks, the oil leaks from the drive shaft and the power window problems, however they simply refuse to face the reality. Dealing with nissan corp. And the glendale nissan dealer, it is an endless nightmare....... |
