      Product Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      I purchased a brand new 2022 NX 350. Within a year, I kept hearing a noise it was making. It has been repaired 3 times. I even provided a video of the noise, because that's the only way they can seem to find it. The repairs are: 1) Replaced intermediate steering shaft & boot connecting through the firewall 2) Replaced the rack & pinion assy 3) Harness loom found to not be fully seated from previous repair and refit My concern is rhis car is not safe & I will be stuck with the repairs when the warranty falls off. I bought this car brand new. I have had to get off my job 6 times fooling with this car. I'm leaving my patients each time, but I have to have a reliable car. I have all my invoices and two videos if you need to hear the 1st noise and the last noise.

      Hello Ace. Thanks for the feedback and the information concerning the fix. There is more to me never coming back to Jim Hudson. Putting vehicles online that are not the actual price is False Advertisement! 1. The vehicle, ALC, was not ready: he could not find the keys, and the truck was empty- no gas. 2. Before I test drove both vehicles I confirmed with Mr. SKINNER the price and gave false information. 3. Even after I was told the correct price. Manager Pete gave NOTHING but excuses. A. Claiming it was on a GMC website and not Jim Hudsons. B. He said both of the sales persons were novice. ??????Then why was Mr. Skinner training a new salesman and Skinner is new. Bottom line: I did not like Pete's attitude and excuses. I served 30 years in the military, and a Masters in Human Resource management. I can clearly see that this group of men trying to sell me a car were dysfunctional, unorganized, and improperly trained. These are the few reasons I would rather travel to Texas than buy a car from Jim Hudson! Thanks, and have a great day.
