The dealership called me and asked me to come the next day to see about buying a Nissan Kicks. I went and was lied to about the car they showed me. I have never known anyone that owned an EV so I had no idea and no reason to suspect that they weren't honest with me. I was told that the car only took about 2 hours to charge again that it wouldn't make my electric bill go up at all. I was also told take the car was *** because I had stated that I needed AWD. The car is not AWD it's front wheel drive. I'm disabled and need AWD because I can't walk very far. I was told I could drive the car about 278 miles before needing to charge again, I looked that up after purchasing the car and it's actually 212 miles. I have to take trips to ******** due to my uncle being in a nursing facility and my mom is unable to go due to health reasons. I returned the car the morning after the purchase and confronted them with their own lies and telling them the car doesn't meet my needs but they wouldn't let me look at the car that I wanted to purchase. I just wanted to purchase a Nissan Kicks but was misled into thinking that the lead was better for me. I was also told that the car had $10,000 off and that wasn't reflected on the paper that they gave me for the bank and it wasn't even the same paper that I signed. They changed all of the numbers. I paid $1500 down and the paper doesn't reflect that either. I looked on the website after I saw that the $10,000 off wasn't on the paper and it confirmed that the car was $10,000 off but the sales manager told me that it said that was only for Nissan financing so I checked it again only to find that was not what it said.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I have had this same conversation over and over with this dealership. The car gave us problems from day 3 and the dealership was made aware of that. I am in the middle of a DV situation that I am not going to cost myself and possibly my children their lives over a car that shouldn't have been sold to begin with. I have asked for my car to be returned and explained how many times I've been in a situation with the car and no one at the dealership seems to care and it's no longer about money it's now about the safety of a mother and her children and the car is not dependable!Business Response

On November 1, 2024, After enduring hurricane ****** and my fathers death, I had to purchase a reliable automobile. I went to **** Anderson Nissan. I sold my 2008 Infiniti with ******* miles and purchased from them a 2017 Nissan Murano with less than ***** miles. On November 22, I returned to **** Anderson Nissan because of a mechanical defect. They showed me the Carfax report which I discovered as erroneous and missing data.They stated no trouble found. I drove the car to ******* approximately 700 miles. The car would not go over 5 mph. I had to tow the car to a dealership in *******. They stated they had repaired the car. 50 miles later as I was preparing to return back to Asheville. The car broke down again And I had to have the car towed to another Nissan dealership. It has been at that dealership for over 30 days I missed all of the holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and approaching New Years Day. I called **** Anderson Nissan prior to having it towed to the other dealerships to request. They assist me with having it Towed back to Asheville so that they could repair. They told me no! I asked another car dealership if they would take it on a trade they said no because it has a serious defect. This car requires a electrical wiring car with an estimated cost of $7000. I I would like **** Anderson Nissan to accept the return of this vehicle and provide me with a full refund, including any associated expenses. Ive been forced to fly back to Asheville, Ive lost time from work, Ive had to rent and borrow another car. Nissan corporate would not assist me either as they were also contacted. I spoke to my sales person, ****, and he stated that ***** the sales manager was going to help but that never occurred. I spoke to the service manager **** and he stated that there was nothing that ***** Anderson Nissan would do and I needed to contact the extended warranty company. I was advised Of a potential denialdue to this being a pre-existing condition.Business Response

I bought a 2020 Nissan Altima and they put in what they call a lumbar support in the car, it was an all electric seat which is what I wanted. This was my 3rd car from this dealership.December 2023 I bought my 4th car 2024 Nissan Altima. I traded my *************************************************************** the new car, which I paid over $1,000. They also stated I had money from gap insurance that would be refunded to me as well. Since that date I have called multiple time, have walked in and spoke to different people. This last time was suppose to be ***** the sales manager. After waiting for an hour instead of meeting me he sent out someone else who apologized and said they were going to make it right. That they believe they should have sold me the car I wanted and was going to make me a killer deal instead of fixing those things. I told them I only owed $6,000 on the car they couldn't make that type of a deal and they said trust me we can. 3 hrs later they offered me a new 2024 Nissan Altima for $25,000 which I said no to of course, made me mad wasted my time and thats not a killer deal. I told them I wanted the problems fixed.I was told they didn't install the electric chair in my 2020 Altima and I was making it up, they had no paperwork to prove they did. I told them I have all the paperwork and can prove it....... They ignored me.......A new finance person came out and said he would fix the gap insurance problem and I would get a check in the mail. That has not happend either.They are doing nothing... I want the electric car seat as we agreed on. Now they say there's two diffent kinds of seats didn't say that when I bout it. I don't work for them they know what they installed, I asked for the same exact seat in the 2020 which they agreed to..I've contacted Nissan Corporation to get them envolved as well. Not sure what will happen now.Initial Complaint

On March 16, 2024, I sold my 2021 Nissan Altima, which I purchased from **** Anderson Nissan. I began contacting them starting April 16, 2024, concerning canceling the Maintenance/Extended Warranty and/or ************* if applicable, contract on the vehicle, knowing that I would be due a refund. The first person I spoke with stated no problem, he would get that started for me. I then sent him forms showing the vehicle was paid off and sold. He said he did need those documents. After not hearing from him for a while, I sent another email. That email was returned stating his email could not be found. I have spoken with numerous people and sent numerous emails to no avail. I sent the required form to their corp office requesting the refund and have heard not a word. No one will respond and I feel after buying four vehicles between **** Anderson's Nissan and ****** dealerships I am being ignored and treated poorly.Business Response

Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: I have never received a check. My address is *************************************************************************************************************************; 28806. I was told by Finance the order was cancelled due to data breach at CDK, now they say a check was mailed. I do not understand why the amount they stated the check was for was so much less than on the sales contract which showed: Service contract to Fidelity $1905 and Maintenance to Fidelity for $692. I bought it brand new and only kept it for just over two years so it would seem it was still under warranty and the refund would be more than $764.20! I got a lot more than that when I cancelled the service contract on my previous vehicle which I also only kept two years. I just feel like I am being taken advantage of and would appreciate a phone call. ************. I am beyond tired of waiting.Business Response

5/11/24 I Paid Fred Anderson Nissan Of Asheville ****** the total amount I am to give them being ******. I paid this amount for all my breaks to be checked which also included a multipoint inspection just to make sure my car was ready for a family trip. I was at graduation (5/11/24) 2pm to 4pm I picked up the car from the dealership 4:30pm I went on my trip (5/12/24) 1am at 1:45 I stopped on the side of the road because my tires started sounding really bad. My car made it 74 miles from the dealership according to the dashboard. Looking at the front driver side wheel one of the bolt studs holding the tire broke off and the other bolts were lose, one of the bolts I was able to take off with just my hand. The passenger side of the car front tires didn't feel like they were tightened to there specs with one pretty lose and one bolt missing. The back tires were also able to be tightened a bit more. I had to drive back in these conditions The car was left until I took it to the deanship. (I've had zero problems with this car before) Looking back at my visit 5/11/24 I notice I was never given a video message about what was done to my car when I would get one with every visit. They also never provided me with a multipoint inspection paper with my paperwork, the customer copy says there was a multipoint inspection preformed. When brought up what had happened to the dealership we arranged to fix the issue and the manager said he would have a rental ready and would be there 7:30am to talk to me. There was no rental and he arrived 8 min late. This visit came with a very detailed video showing the specs but no multipoint inspection. Through out my interaction with the manager he seemed pushy to get me out without complaints. I wanted to talk about a refund and he said he had videos on file he would be happy to send. I still have not received it and the video on 5/11/24 is missing from their files. There was 5 people in the car, my family. we all were terrified in the situation.Business Response

After looking at the car, the mechanic showed me the transmission fluid and it was full of metal shavings requiring a new transmission. Anderson Nissan said the transmission replacement was not in my warranty. My last service visit on 2/29/24, the manager said my car's warranty would have covered the transmission being replaced. He was mad I had repaired elsewhere and discontinued my Family Plan, which made my warranty inactive. On 3/6/2024, the mechanic found that the spillway plug had been removed from the transmission and was laying in the splash shield. The amount of transmission fluid that had leaked out was about a quart. Of course, if the leak had not been identified at this time, I would be replacing yet another transmission. Upon further investigation and obtaining the original purchase records of the 2016 Nissan Maxima, the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty was in fact active at the time of the transmission requiring replacement.Initial Complaint

I brought my vehicle to **** Anderson Nissan to complete a recall. After months of service, they put the vehicle into an un-drivable condition and did not complete the recall as confirmed and promised in October of 2018. Please see Nissan timeline attachment for further detail of 2018-present. I went to meet with **** Anderson Nissan on July 7, 2023 to sell them this vehicle after receiving a letter from them stating they wanted to buy it. Unfortunately, it was only to discover that my car had mysteriously vanished per employee, ***************************. No police report was filed by them nor did they allow me to see any camera footage when requested. I filed a police report myself that same day.

Good morning, After further investigating the events mentioned in your complaint and taking into consideration the amount of
of time that has passed (5 years) i have came to the following conclusion. The vehicle meets all the criteria as an abandoned vehicle.
Could communication been more consistent? possibly. With that said, the vehicles condition or location has been in question for several years at this point
with no inquiries as to. Given the circumstances surrounding this situation I cannot see how we are responsible for the vehicles whereabouts or condition.

On January 29, 2023, I purchased a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder at ***************** in *****, **.The vehicle was inspected and had no dash lights and no codes came up during a professional inspection. It seemed to be a solid vehicle with no major problems.Unfortunately, your service notes did not get sent to Carfax along with the 'oil change' that was submitted on 9/03/22 and 10/27/22. The service notes from **** Anderson Nissan state that the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder had a sludged engine. This was not put on the title, nor was it put in the Carfax notes. The information was not readily available and the engine codes had been wiped clean/deleted. I am disappointed because the sludge was not declared, nor was it stated anywhere but within Nissans own work notes, not accessible to other organizations during a vehicle inspection. A sludged engine has to be repaired or documented. It is not right to not disclose that information. The previous owner (during the time of service at **** Anderson Nissan) then turned around and sold the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder at a different dealership (a ******* in Asheville, **) that would not have access to the Nissans work report that mentioned 'sludge'. We would have never purchased a vehicle with a sludged engine, nor one with an engine light. None of these things were evident upon our professional inspection and are considered hiding information/facts about a vehicle that was put on the open market as a vehicle with no major (or minor) problems.To resolve the problem, I would appreciate covering our engine replacement. We have a warranty (************) but they denied the claim, based on a ******* at ********************* Nissan finding the word 'sludge' on the work reports from **** Anderson Nissan in Sept and Oct of 2022. He reported the sludged engine to NVP and they denied coverage for the engine. We were never aware of sludge, ****** only reported 'good' maintenance and numerous oil changes. Our professional computerized inspection had no red flags with codes and no dash lights were on, so we, in good faith purchased the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. The engine stopped accelerating on March 12, 2023. We had it again inspected at our local ********** who said it was sludged and needed a complete replacement, but they could not do the job, so we had it towed to ********************* Nissan in *********, **. The vehicle is still at ********************* Nissan in *********, ** awaiting a new engine.I look forward to your reply and a resolution to my problem I will wait until March 27, 2023 before seeking help from a regulatory agency, the H333735363534353136**H, or legal resources.Sincerely,**** and *********************************** Timeline of events:Sept. 3, 2022--rattle and sludge documented by Fred Anderson Nissan of Asheville, **, oil changed, but not reported or fixed.

I am rejecting this response because: **** Anderson Nissan wants to do a Zoom call, which we will do, but that does not give sufficient information whether we will be satisfied or not.I will follow up with BBB after the Zoom call with **** Anderson Nissan.

I am rejecting this response because: We are unable to meet in person as the vehicle we purchased as a 'family car' does not work/is completely unusable and requires a $15k long block engine replacement. A zoom or teams call will have to suffice in Mid July as we will be including our attorney is all matters. July 14, Friday will work.Thank you,
