| Description of the problem | I bought used 2004 nissan maxima car at north shore auto mall on 9/18/14,the service tech. Drove car up to front of dealership w/car still running he test drove car w/me( didn't think anything about it at the time) i got in and we went for a test drive, car was great. Got back to dealer, gave the balance. Once i left dealer, while driving on highway the car started to skip & felt like it was going to stall, i pulled over to right lane, put hazards on w/traffic behind me, the car stalled, i almost caused a collision, cars were beeping, swerving out of the way, i couldn't get any acceleration with it in drive, so i put it in neutral & after 3 tries it started up w/much hesitation. I was scared for my life & others on the road, i took side streets to make it home & when i stopped at stop sign it stalled again, i repeated the same steps as above w/hazards on the whole ride home. Now i know why the service tech. Took test ride w/me. I had a friend with me as my witness. This car wont pass inspection , the check engine light will not turn off, i called dealer he said make an appt, i said i only have 7 days for inspection sticker, he said, he has nothing to do with service and to call them. I called on monday the 22nd &1st,available appt. Wasn't til 9/25/14, my 7 days were up on that thursday. He said he'll call me around noon, i waited til friday 5pm, he nor anyone in serv. Called to update me & let me know car will be there over the weekend. What do i do & what's the time limit on fixing my car w/o any communication to me. Im sooooo upset at the lack of professionalism and ethics, im afraid if i say something derogatory, they will sabotage my car. Please help me..!!!! |
