  I purchased a car from them February 14 only to find out that there wasn’t a functional horn on the car. I need my horn and I pressed for it and it was non functional. My salesman did a full walk around with me on the car only to not inform me of this issue. Please note that I checked this car out twice with the same salesmen but not once did he make mention of the issue. Me knowing that it’s illegal for a dealership to sell a car with a nonfunctional horn I assumed it worked. But the dishonest act to make a sale is very distasteful. When I. Went back to return the 20** ********** and asked for my check back the salesman lied and told me it had been deposited when I knew the wasn’t true bc I had the bank on the line and she could hear every lie and rebuttal he used. They never verified the check. I also to my credit card for the remaining balance but I have not received the charge back of $***. However they did return my check back to me from the bank.

  Good Morning **. *****, we were not aware you were not reimbursed the $***. We will be more than happy to reimburse you. Please swing by and we will put the money back on your credit card you used. The vehicle was a 20** ********** that we told you was a mechanic's special and a "AS IS" unit. When you told us the horn stopped working, we told you we would fix it at no charge to you. Instead you wanted to return the vehicle which we told you, you were welcome to do. Our goal is always for our customers to have a great experience. We stand behind our vehicles and want to take care of our customers. We hope to be able to assist you in the future. 

  Sincerely,

  Five Star Nissan

  O* ******** ** 2023, I had my vehicle transported to Five Star Nissan of Warner robins. I asked the service rep to run a diagnostic on my vehicle. Due to prior mechanic shop informed me that I may need some work done to my engine, but he wasn't for sure. I transported it to Nissan because who would know more about a Nissan better than the people that work on them daily. The service rep contacted me the next morning and stated " I have sent you a list of things that we found during the diagnostics. Noting that some items on the list was incorrect because some of those issues was worked on prior to me taking my car to Nissan. Since nothing else major was on the list I informed Nissan to go ahead and fix the radiator and replace the hoses that was required Nissan quoted 1650 for the service. Service rep contact me about 2-3 days later informed me my car was ready for pick up. A day after taking my car to Nissan I went and purchased another car. once I picked my car up from Nissan I parked it for the next 2 weeks. Once I decided to drive the vehicle, I noticed it was still running hot. I then contacted Nissan which they told me to bring it back in. I spoke with John over the course of 1 month within that time frame he informed me that I needed head gaskets which was never brought up to me on my diagnostics report. hence that's why I asked them to run a diagnostic. If I would've known this, I would've never agreed for them to fix the radiator. I asked john to check the milage of my vehicle he would see that my car haven't been drove since I left Nissan. John basically gave me the run arounds for over a month about my car stating he's checking with his mechanic every time I called. I have reached out to the general manager of the store several times never received a call back. I have also reached out to the corporate and haven't heard back. I allotted a 2 week span to allow them to contact me before filing this report trying to resolve this issue no response..

  Customer came in December for a concern of a water leak.  We repaired the radiator as seen in the video.  The customer's vehicle has close to 300,000 miles.  We had the car for three weeks after the repair and could not get it to overheat.  Also, we did not charge the customer for a diagnosis or to look at the vehicle.  If it is overheating, it is not due to the replacement of the radiator.

  no warranty on repairs. I was not tolled in advance and paid full price.

  To whom this may concern,

  I have a complaint to the Five Star Nissan ** *** ****** *** ****** ****** ********
  The issue is all four wheel brakes being replaced on a 2012 ********** ******. A total mileage of this
  vehicle is 116000 miles. An appointment was made on ****** ** December 2023. The front brakes had
  no noise or vibration before repairs. After new pads replaced and used rotors never turned,
  approximately 60K miles, was turned .020 at this date. After a couple days the front wheels started
  making noise and vibration when brakes are applied. I returned to the dealership on Saturday to say
  there was a problem around 11AM. I was told that I had them replace the rotors that were used ones.
  He would not give a warranty or fix the problem unless I buy new rotors from the dealer and pay labor
  fees again. I had no knowledge of this they did the work. The rotors removed were aftermarket turned
  .040 and would have to be turned again. This would make the rotors un-safe. The service person started
  raising his voice in front of customers, and new employees. No supervisor was working. I was told to
  leave with no repairs. I am *** and a Vietnam veteran on a fixed income. I was a mechanic and replace
  brakes on many different vehicles. I feel unsafe with this vehicle for long distances. I will have to fix this
  out of my pocket. The total price was 1014.24. Parts were 458.53 which would cover all parts, new. My
  feelings, I think the rotors turned .020 only is at fault or improper maintance. I would like my money
  back, or fixed with full warranty. My trust at this service center is in question from this individual or how
  many people have had this problem or similar repairs. I assume a dealership would not want to lose a
  repair customer or to purchase any other vehicle from here. If I have an accident, I would have to take
  this to court. I have dealt with this service representative many times and all work was performed there.

  This is not the best way to permote Public Relations.

  On ** ***** 2023 I went to Five Star Nissan to get my original FOB fixed. I informed the service department that the FOB had been lost and I had gotten another FOB, then months later I found the original FOB but it would not work any longer at which point the service rep said it would need to be programmed which they would accomplish for $140. After an hour and a half they said they couldn't program my original FOB but I still needed to pay even though I was not getting a programmed FOB as promised. When questioned why they said it was because Nissan corporation was charging them for each use of the program so they had to charge me but they would only charge me $69.95. I told them that this didn't sound right to me to pay for services not performed but I paid in order to get my vehicle back. I'd like a refund for services paid for but not received.

  I sold my 2016 ****** to this dealership on ** September 2022 to Five Star Nissan of Warner Robins Georgia and was told that I needed to wait a few days to a week to get a check. I thought that it was odd and asked why. She explained that it was a policy for them to wait until they receive the title from the bank. So a few days go by and I call to see if they had my check. (I had a few cars lined up that I wanted to go look at online) she tell me no it will be a few more days. Ok so today I call and same answer as before.. it'll be a few more days. Today is 7 days without a vehicle. So I told her that I needed the money and someone needs to override this ridiculous policy. She said she was going to talk to someone and call me back. An hour or so goes by and no call. So I called and I couldn't get ahold of her or anyone, so I decided to drive 45 minutes to get my check they owe me. Get there and same **** blah blah blah it's our policy blah blah. So I asked the sales manager why they have this policy and she explains basically the same thing about the title and adds that in case they mail ME the title (like that would happen.) Out of curiosity I asked if they had sold the car I sold them. YES she says they did sell it.. "WHAT IF THEY MAIL ME THE TITLE" I say to her and she says "we would get a duplicate title if that happened" This has nothing to do with me anymore it's between the bank and the dealership. Give me the money I'm owed. Not only does the policy contradict itself twice the dealership already sold the car and MADE A PROFIT from the car I sold them yet I haven't been paid. I'm not only posting this here but I'm posting it everywhere including the BBB. DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP

  Nissan has issued a recall to replace bad headlights for my car. I followed their rules to bring my car in for inspection and found that I should have my lights replaced per the settlement. Now I have been given the same answer month after month, that the parts have not arrived. It has been almost 6 months since the inspection. You would think that by now 2 headlights would have been received. My VIN:**************XXXX
