      Status:
      Answered
      January 13, 2024 bought a 2018 Nissan Kicks, 79,433 miles, for $15,000. On January 17, 2024, took car back to dealer. Car was making a strange sound and thump under driver's floor board. Received a loaner car. 15 days later car was ready. 02/01/2024. Drove car 17 days. Feb. 19,2024 took car back to dealer, extrema amount of fluid was leaking. Cause of leak was the axel bearing had excessive play causing the passenger side axel to slip out of the transmission. March 10, 2024, drove my 90 yr.old mother home approximately 100 mile. My husband who is disabled went also. On our way back, 37 miles into our drive home, on the 10 freeway, in the center lane, we lost all power to the Nissan kicks. Before rolling to a stop, I managed to get over to the inside emergency lane. This was the most frightening experience we both had ever been in. My husband and I. We sat there with no emergency flashers, no power in car at all, way after dark until the tow truck from AAA arrived. Paid $763 To have car towed to Yorba Linda CA. Paid another $ 100, 2 days later, to tow car to Stadium Nissan. No loaner car was given this time, being the only bread winner, I had trouble getting to work. I walked to and from work a couple of times, the rest of the days I relied on co workers. I'm 60 years old, work 5 miles away, and work at 530 am until 2 pm. Milage on the Nissan Kicks was now at 79,953 . No one could tell the problem with the car. Arturo ,advisor, finally had told me that Nissan had to send someone from the main headquarters to inspect the car. I had asked for loaner Arturo said no because if they can't fix it Nissan would have to " eat " the bill. I called corporate spoke to Maria. On 3/10 Gill called used car manager. He said "We want to put you in a new car". To me and Maria, That meant trade for a car . However Gill and Mr.R******** pushed me into a corner, knowing I desperately needed something , I now have 2018 Sentra, on 4/01 car broke down.

      Terrible Maintenance service.I bought a new Santa **** from ******* from ***************** in Dalt Lake City. We went for an oil change, we were told that we couldnt use any free because the automobile didnt have the right amount of miles to be able to get it free so were force to buy 3 as a packaged. When we received our car and got home I noticed that the car was leaking oil, I ended up buying cat litter to be able to clean the mess inside my garage, took the car back to the dealer, ********* left a doble seal in the filter. Now the light for another oil change is on, wife took the at in for an oil change, she was told that we couldnt use a free one or one from the 3 that we bought as a package and we need to buy a new one if we want an oil change. What kind of BS is this when the car still have 3 or 4 free one and I have 2 left from the package that I bought. Im very disappointed and furious with such a terrible service. This is my last time buying *******.
