  More info

  I would like to complain regarding this local dealership, the maintenance department specifically. A warning light for my air bag system appeared on my car and when I took my car to get serviced they made me pay for the part which is $490 and it’ll take 1 month for the part to come in . Told me they would call me to put the part on and I never got a call. I had to call almost 6 weeks later and they stated the part been had came in. When I went to get the part put on, they then stated I have to pay almost $600 for the labor. Then, after waiting 2 hours, I as told that thy couldn’t put the part on due to the wrong one being ordered the first time. At this point, I’m speaking with the supervisor and he stated they’ll get the right part, but I will also have to pay more money for the new part on top the service and they would call me next day with update. It was been almost 2 months since I last heard from the, regarding this and the warning light is safety issue. It’s my airbag sensors, so if I was to get into an accident, they wouldn’t deploy. Also, I never got into an accident with my car so why is the airbag sensor malfunctioning. I’m highly upset with this dealership and how they are going about this.

  My 2022 Nissan Rouge went into the shop around June 14th 2023. I sent it to the shop because it was shaking and sounding like an old truck. Upon inspection of my truck, they found out that it needs a motor mount. Here we are September 12th and no motor mount. I feel so unappreciated right now because I am the one who's been calling and asking about whats going on. I'm pissed because I'm paying for something I'm not driving. I spoke with the service manager on Monday. He said he will see what his boss can do to get the part sooner.

  The motor mount is on back order with Nissan. We have no way to expedite this process. The service manager did speak to the customer about car rental eligibility.

  I definitely would not recommend this place. It's full of false advertisement and rude workers. The facility does not do shuttles, as mentioned on their website. If you come get a repair, they do a diagnostic of $170, but then they tax on around $25 for "shop fees." When you try to get a manager to discuss their false advertisement tactics, your complaints fall onto deaf ears. If they are willing to do this to Nissan owners, imagine what they would do to screw over new Nissan owners. Currently, I have waited 2 days for a sensor to be fixed. A mere sensor. When you call them, they say, “calling us won’t make it change it quicker.” Yet, they quoted me yesterday when I decided to do my services here. After revisiting to check on my vehicle, service became even more horrific. After I wrote a negative google review, Mr. Scott Steinberg, came to me at the dealership, giving his unprofessional, unsolicited opinion about my review. He ended his comments with, "well you ruined it. you made a decision, and you will live with it." After working with this dealership, I learned that even the service manager (bald white larger man who has a slight temper) refuses to follow NHTSA bulletins. Instead, he would make recommendations that will only increase your bill. Instead of following the recommendations (which involved a seized EGT sensor), he recommended replacing the entire manifold (which would cost additional $1700). When I suggested the NHTSA bulletin, he states, "that's it." He grabbed my paperwork and went towards the payment desk, "you can take your stuff to another dealership. we will not be servicing you here," as he required me to pay the diagnostic fees. This place is ridiculous. I have reported this place to Nissan corporate. I recommend people go elsewhere, as this place is utter trash.

  We apologize that the customer did not have a good experience. Initially, there appears to have been a misunderstanding between the customer and the department manager. The manager was under the impression that the customer had a ride from an outside party. Once the customer made it clear to the manager, an employee was requested to drive the customer to their desired location once the employee was available.
  
  The diagnostic charge, taxes, and shop supplies were explained to the customer to come out to $200. The customer agreed to those charges to diagnose the problem.
  
  Once the diagnostic was complete, the appropriate parts were ordered. In this case, the exhaust gas temperature sensor was diagnosed to the issue.
  
  Once the part arrived, the old sensor was found to be seized in the manifold. The customer was informed at that time there would be an additional cost to replace the manifold. The customer request us to complete a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) to take out the sensor. (Manufactures to no generally cover the cost of a TSB) The cost associated with that would be the same as replacing the manifold.
  
  We have attempted to work this out with the customer, but the customer does not seem willing to do anything without a significant discount. The negative Googld review was written prior to completion of any work on the vehicle.

  . Purchased a 2016 Nissan in 2016 brand new. Since the day I got the vehicle it has had issues. I took it back several times for electrical errors, the tire light constantly being on. Now with 100,000 miles the transmission has blown up. The vehicle is not drivable. Nissan informed me that vehicle needed all this work done.transmission fluid drained and flushed $345, carbon build up repair $195, a tune up and replacing spark plugs was $323. I can get it all done for $400 at meneike. Also the clean the carbon build up every time you get an oil change. So why are they charging for that? That's not the issue, the issue is that my vehicle had no check engine light on and it stop driving while I was in the middle of an intersection. I saw that back in 2018 Nissan was sued for this exact issue. Is there a recall??? No,they extended the warranty to $84,000. I never once was notified that the warranty was extended and this was an issue with this vehicle. Menekie said I waited too long to get the fluid flushed and drained. I informed them I got it done when the dealership told me to. Took the vehicle in on 11/7/22 to get an oil change, said the fluids were fine. I have a screen shot of the inspection. 11/17/22 the fluids needed to be replaced and now the vehicle isn't drivable. No check engine light ever came on, and they stated that other body shops can not replace fluids on Nissans because sometimes the check engine light will not be on and it's an enteral issue they can only handle at the dealership

  Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/12/19) */ The services were recommended due to time and mileage only. The only fluids that are checked with oil changes are brake, coolant, and washer; transmission fluid is not checked unless it has a dipstick. The vehicle came in on December 6 with 106,403 miles. The customer stated they took the vehicle to another shop and had the fluid changed and now it will not move. If the incorrect fluid was used to flush the system it could cause issues. The check engine light does not always come on for internal transmission issue. We reported we confirmed the complaint and also heard metal sounds for transmission and would need to be replaced. Customer had a warranty extension on the transmission that expired April 6, 2023, OR 84,000 miles (whichever comes first). The customer came to Antwerpen Nissan Security for service on June 23, 2018, with 39,452 miles. The next visit to Antwerpen Nissan Security was December 13, 2021, with 88,442 miles. The manufacturer's extended warranty had expired due to mileage. Our service history does not show and transmission concerns until it was taken to another shop.

  I purchased my vehicle from Nissan and included the gap insurance. My car was totaled on December 27, 2021. This has been resolved and confirmed by my insurance company. I have contacted Nissan dealership and the company that I signed the contract for the Gap insurance for my refund. I was sent a letter from the company initiating the gap contract indicating that they had contacted **** **** at Nissan dealership concerning this matter and a letter was sent to Nissan dealership on April 12, 2022. I contacted her and she was so rude and nasty I contacted the manager on May 16th concerning this matter to see if this could be resolved. The letter that was sent to me and the dealer stated " the prorated refund for this product will be sent by your dealer to either your lender and credited to your account, or directly to me if I do not have a loan". I contacted the lender and they have not received a refund check for the gap insurance..
