I purchased a car from wilson motor company and was told it was only used as a rental by their customers while their car was in the shop. i have had issues with the car and they have fought me on warranties to cover. when i went to a different dealership they pulled the autocheck report to find that the car had been purchased from an auction in ca and is showing a title brand for frame or structural damage record and a possible odometer rollback. the tires are wearing unevenly and are not safe and i have already replaced the brakes out of my pocket. i can't trade the car in due to this report. i was lied to and now i can't get warranty service or able to trade the car in for something else. i cannot get the general manager to return my messages.
New car with several incidences when traveling at low speeds and needing to stop the vehicle the breaks felt sluggish, the vehicle would not stop where i intended, and it made sounds. i went to several nissan dealerships and they each told me the break system was ok and i just needed to get the feel of a nissan sentra. i told them that was not the case because i owned several nissan sentras. they said there was nothing they could do. i increased my stopping distance because i didn't trust the car. i got into a minor fender bender. the car in front of me only had a small scratch. i was going at low speeds when the car in front of me stopped. under normal conditions i had plenty of room to stop. however, my car didn't behave normally. i hit the break as hard as i could, but it was sluggish and still moving. the front-end emergency breaking system started beeping. i couldn't swerve the car because there where cars on my sides. i continued hitting the break as hard as i could, and my system beeped and flashed again. the system couldn't fully stop the car either. before moving my car i called the nissan number the manual says to call. i told them what happened and asked them to get the event data recorder information. they told me to bring it to a dealership. the dealership said they only downloaded codes and what i was describing was the transmission and after looking into it they decided they would replace a valve in the transmission under warranty. they said that a part also needed replacing because of the accident. they said the part was on backorder. i asked for documentation of what they were going to do to my car and they refused and said i would get it at the end. now the part is further backordered. they won't pay for a rental and are now saying that if i want out of my lease they need to do an 8 week investigation. i wanted the investigation over 2 months ago!
After purchasing my car 3 months ago with 47,000 miles, i was driving the vehicle at night with my family going 35 mph, straight on a city street with moderate traffic when the accelerator and brake started to harden and the steering wheel started to lock up. the dashboard lights started appearing one after another. i just missed a car next to me trying to get off the road. i pulled in a parking lot and the car stopped completely, the steering wheel, brake, accelerator, everything stopped responding. i assumed it may be a bad battery, so i got a jump, but after 20 minutes, the car refused to turnover. the lights still worked, there wasn't any dimming. the mechanic spent most of the following day trying to figure out what was wrong, still being diagnosed. i've seen the same problem noted for nissan sentra and other models, it's a scary thing for a vehicle to completely stop on a road or highway, if the parking lot wasn't nearby, my family and i would have been sitting ducks to oncoming traffic or strained on a highway. this is by the most careless vehicle issue that will eventually result in a terrible accident and should be addressed immediately. i'm concerned this issue hasn't been resolved or recalled.
On 11/02/17 brought the car in for the brakes and service said they couldn't get it to squeak while it was at the shop. was in for 1 day for service. now its 1/16/18 brought the car back in again and service can hear grind/squeak sound mileage under 12,000 miles and shop wants to shave the rotors on my car and replace brake pads. i do not want my rotors shaved as that makes it one less time i can do that in the future. so service replaces with new nissan rotors and brake pads. car in shop for 10 days now its 8/16/18 car has less then 5,000 miles on nissan factory parts and brakes are making noise again. mason in service wants to shave my rotors and replace brake pads but nissan does not want to cover them under warranty. i tell them its ok to shave rotors this time but feel nissan should have better parts. with the few miles that are on the brakes and rotors. car has less then 16,000 miles on it. car in shop for another day. nissan has a known problem with these brake pads they are using mason the service manager said nissan has a bulletin about the noise there brakes make. well i would have liked to know that when i was purching this vechile. as of writing this letter the brakes started to squeak again. i am tired of driving this car in public and it sounding like a old cop car or taxi cab. i bought a new car for a reason! so in closing the car has been in the shop 12 days so far, has had new brake rotors and pads replaced twice and the car has less then 17,000 miles on it now. i guess i expected to much when i purchased a car for $25,000 that it would not have any problems and nissan has proved me wrong. what i would like nissan to do is purchase this vehicle back from me, with a credit so i can purchase a new nissan with no problems.
Break failed to stop the car. break pedal was depressed all the wayto the floor. just didn't come to full stop. happened 2 days in a row. the latter incident hit the car in front. it's a real hazard on the road. now the car is being serviced and loaner car is being provided by the dealer. carson nissan in california.
