  I purchased a car in May and the dealership told me that I had to bring the car back because the loan was not finalized. I took the car back and they put me in another car June 11. I called that night and the next morning about the new car and everything that was wrong with it. I spoke to **** one of the managers at the dealership and he said basically that I signed a as is contract that there is no cool off period in ***** and they would not give my money back. So I ended up getting back with the ***************** that sold me the car and he said that we could put everything in writing that was wrong with the car and that they would fix it. As ***** and the head service guy for preowned vehicles were looking at the car (I have been at the dealership for a while now) I asked how much longer would it take because I am thinking that I am still going to get to write some type of agreement out. ***** tells me that the service guy is just getting his order together and that he would let us go shortly!!!! This car has an open recall for both front tire rods and I told him and the service guy that I felt something in the front tire. I was not even offered a loaner car. I left the car there and told them to call and let me know when it will be ready. I still have not got a call with even a estimated date for the car to be ready. I have also tried to speak to the loan provider and they gave me information on my paperwork for complaints after purchase with name of a person that doesnt even work for the company anymore. At this point, I have no $3000 down payment returned, no car, a car payment coming and I dont know when the car will be fixed and if everything wrong with the car will be fixed upon return.

  This customer bought a vehicle from us and after the completion of the purchase quit his job. This action caused the car deal to fall out of funding with the lender that was servicing the loan, as the loan stipulation "verification of employment" failed upon the lender's call to the job he put on his credit app. At this point we called the customer to let them know they needed to return to the dealership so we can find an alternative avenue for their purchase. They returned to dealership and we got them reapproved with NMAC on a different vehicle, which they signed for and took delivery of. A few days later the customer called complaining of issues about the vehicle, which we said we would address as it is a Nissan Certified vehicle. The issues were promptly addressed and the vehicle has been ready for the customer to pick up since 6/15 and have been notified of this fact every day since.  The customer has not responded to any communication what so ever.  Please have the customer call me at ************ or email *********************************** 

  Thank you

  This place harassed me they were rude and obnoxious, hounded me very disrespectful and talked to me like I was not a valued customer, they were oblivious to the fact that I was in no condition to be treated in this manner Im disabled and they did not understand the severity of my emotions they promised me my money back and sold me an damaged vehicle it was clearly in no condition to be sold to any individual. ***************************** was one of the employees along with the supervisor and head management. Can you guys please resolve this matter thank you for your patience and understanding.

  The customer's provided stipulations required by the lender did not verify at the time of funding so we had to get the customer back in to re work the deal to satisfy the customer, lender, and the dealer. We were unable to find a equitable agreement that the lender would accept so we had to request the vehicle be returned to Trophy Nissan. Upon the vehicle's return we inspected it and found over a thousand dollars of body damage, along with evidence of illegal narcotic use within the vehicle. All levels of management in both sales and finance were involved to try and satisfy the customer's needs and all attempted to reason with her. Her parting words were threats to the dealerships reputation. We at Trophy want to sell every customer a car, but unfortunately the lender could not verify her provided stipulations.

  With the extensive damage to the vehicle upon return - there will be $0 money returned to the customer.  Weed is not legal in ***** therefore it is considered Narcotics.

  I was sold a vehicle that they told me nothing was wrong with . The vehicle has engine and electric problems and they are refusing me a refund

  Mr. ****** purchased a preowned vehicle mid February 2024.  On Monday, April 15,2024 Mr. ****** contacted Trophy Nissan stating that the vehicle purchased is experiencing an issue.  We asked Mr. ****** to allow us an opportunity to inspect the vehicle and see what could be done to correct the issue he is experiencing,  Mr. ****** is refusing to bring the vehicle in for us to inspect. Unfortunately, we cannot move forward with any resolution without inspecting the vehicle for his engine light concern.  Again, Trophy Nissan is willing to help figure this out, but Mr. ****** is refusing to allow us this opportunity. I have attached the transcript of the phone call for your review.

  To Whom It May Concern: 

  Trophy Nissan sold a 2023 Nissan Kicks to a *********************** on January 14, 2023 with 16 miles on the new vehicle.  At the time of the sale ****************** was provided with a blue voucher card (a photo has been attached) that would allow ****************** to receive their first oil and filter change at no charge.  On Thursday, April 4, 2024 ******************* came into the dealership demanding her oil change be completed free of charge.  Being the vehicle now has 23k miles, our service advisor looked up the information to see if a maintenance plan *** have been purchased with her new vehicle.  There were no maintenance plans purchased and no voucher presented.  After being told that ******************* had no maintenance contract and no voucher, ******************* started getting loud, cursing and being abusive.  She then went up front demanding to speak to the owner, at this point she was told she needed to speak with the Service Director, ******************.  When asked where she has been getting her oil changes performed, ******************* told my advisor she had been going to Wal Mart for that.  A voucher is no different than a gift card, in order to redeem the goods and services it must be presented as payment.  She chose not to involve the service director and continued to cuss and defame Trophy Nissan with whomever would be within hearing distance.  She finally left without an oil change or any other incident.

  On December 28, 2023, I received my vehicle back from Trophy Nissan Service and Parts. The car was taken in for a flat tire and change of lock nuts. At this time, the building was closing. So the next day I called my advisor back to tell him that I am hearing a knocking noise. He said probably because it just had a new service. Call us back if it worsens. So on (Closed for the holidays)Wednesday, January 3, 2024, as I was driving to work, the wheel started hanging on by only 1 lock nut which was the lock key. Tow truck had to tow my vehicle back to Nissan. The next morning when the opened, I told them what had happened and was told that someone tried to steal my tire. I told them that was not the case. That my vehicle was parked in front of cameras at work and only in my garage. Tried to tell them I just wanted a refund and I can go somewhere else. Seeing that I had a problem before and they never fixed it. Had an office meet with the advisor and owner. The owner ***** told me because I did not come in for the services of the wheel, they cant do anything about it. So even if they touched it, it will not be on them(Nissan Staff). I told them it was an honest mistake that when switched the lock nuts, he loosened them but never tightened them back. Still didnt resolve anything. Basically saying it was my fault. Nor did I ever receive my refund back even when over the phone, ***** agreed. Also I told them I never received the estimate at all telling me about my car. The advisor ***** agreed that should have been brought to my attention.

  ************** came into Trophy Nissan 12/27/23 with a left front tire issue.  ************** also asked us at this time to install a set of wheel locks that were supplied by **************.  During this visit, we replaced the left front tire and installed the wheel locks, only one lock per wheel is all that is installed.  When the vehicle came back in with the RIGHT front wheel coming off, the only lug nut holding the wheel on was the locking lug that was installed 12/27/23 by Trophy Nissan.  All other lug nuts were missing and the wheel studs were broken.  ************** was asked if someone could have attempted to steal her wheels at some point which led her to want the locking lug nuts installed to begin with, she responded no.  ************** asked for a refund of the left front tire and installation of the locking lug nuts, which are both on her vehicle, we declined to refund for services and goods that she received and still has.  We worked on the left (driver side) front tire and installed 1 locking lug nut per wheel only.  We did not remove or do anything other than the locking lug nut to her right (passenger side) tire or wheel.  When the vehicle came back in on 1/5/2024 with the right front wheel coming off the vehicle, ************** complained about a noise when driving, not a violent shaking from the front of the vehicle.  When a wheel is loose due to loose lugs or studs broken such as this case, it causes an uncontrollable violent shaking in the steering wheel, not just a noise.  At no time did ************** ever complain of this vibration/shaking in the steering wheel, even when told that it would be an obvious symptom of such an event.

  I am rejecting this response because:   This is false. I complained about everything the next day after receiving my vehicle. I tried asking for camera footage, but was told we do not have camera footage. I told them that it was an honest mistake on the mechanic. They told me they are certified mechanics, but why does this happens and one I first bring my vehicle all of a sudden my brakes started squeaking? Why when I come up there I was told thats how all vehicles are. No. My car was not in good hands at this place. Not only that they couldnt even give me a loaner car when my car was there parked in their garage for a WHOLE WEEK. They know what they did. When I asked for the recording the manager got LOUD with me. Not very professional. I know what they did but they wont admit it. Oh and the lock key they touched, was also loose. 

  Business response

  ************** and I had multiple conversations regarding her vehicle and the repair necessary to get her safely back on the road.  We never got loud or unwilling to be as transparent as possible.  ************************** and I were in my office well after closing just to listen to phone calls and recap what was said, that way there was a clear understanding on both ends.  After listening to the phone calls for clarity as to what ************** was told regarding her situation, ************** said thank you that will be all and left.  We see no reason for refund as what services and goods performed on her vehicle are still on her vehicle.  There was a reason she chose to install locking lug nuts and theft of the wheels could possibly be it.  Trophy Nissan will always do what is right and we are always willing to help where we can.

  I am rejecting this response because:   Yes they did get loud with me. My sister is my witness. Mr. ***** got loud with me when I asked him can I please hear the audio. I had to ask politely to not get loud with me. I would hope that Ms. ***** would not say anything false about the situation. They told me they only touched the lock key. That lock key that they touched was loosened. As said in the document.

  The one they said they had touched was also one of the lug nuts that were also loosened. They have yet gave the time to respond since reporting this.

  Hello, Trophy Nissan never tried to resolve the issue even when I called it in. The next day I called the advisor, *********, and was told maybe it sounds like that is because it just got work on. So after holidays, since they were closed, I called in after having to pull over because the wheel was coming completely off and was told by Ms. ***** to have the car towed so they can fix the problem. Get there and she said they never touched the wheel at all. But I tried explaining to her that they did because they changed the lock nug key on all wheels. U told them they loosened them which was an honest mistake. I just want to be refunded. I went to Christian ******** Automotive to get a second look and they said the lock key was even loosened. The lock key they claimed they never had touched. If any other information is needed please let me know.

  This file that I am sharing was provided by Christian ******** in ******. The missing lock nug key is still missing. I also provided when I got the work done and everything that was done to it regarding the wheel. They said they touched the lock key only on all tires, in which they are supposed to do when changing a lock key for each tires. The lock key on the right front passenger was loosened .

  04/10/2024

  I never had the work done on 12/24/2023. I got my car back 12/28/2023. That same day I called and said that I was hearing a knocking noise. I was told if it WORSENS to come back, but it probably was the fact that it just got fixed. Over the weekend, they were closed due to holidays. I dont have the lock nuts because they FELL OFF. They never found the LOCK KEY because I dont have a lock key for the lock nuts that FELL OFF DUE TO NISSAN NOT ACTUALLY MAKING SURE THEY WERE TIGHT ON. When my car got towed to Christian ********* I had to buy a brand new lock key and nuts. Before I went to Nissan I didnt have a lock key so I BOUGHT NEW LOCK KEYS FOR EACH TIRE. It was not $30. It was never on no December 24. Wrong date.

  Hello. I had a 12pm appointment on 2/27/2023 to get my oil changed. Two others waiting in the waiting area were there to have an oil change done as well. It took Trophy Nissan workers almost 3 hours to do my oil change, and I had an appointment. My arrival time was 11:38am when they put it in the computer. I didn't leave until after 2:11pm. This is ridiculous! The woman who was in front of me said she had been waiting since 11 something for her vehicle and all she was getting was an oil change too. If we have an appointment, an oil change should be done in less than an hour. If workers are running behind by hours, then notify the customers in advance so we can bring our vehicle in at a later time that day or on another day, and don't overbook so you can have time to do what people have scheduled. That's the point of scheduling an appointment, to have the service done in a timely manner, and to get your vehicle back. Up to 3 hours is ridiculous for anyone to have to wait for a simple oil change. They didn't do my vehicle until I inquired about it again and told them to bring it out from back if they haven't started on it so I could take it somewhere else. I shouldn't have to say nor do that.

  Customers vehicle arrived at the shop on 8/17/21 and left of 1/12/22. Customer did pay out of pocket due to her insurance refusing to cover the claim due to possible fraud. Since she paid out of pocket for the repair we agreed to perform the work at a discounted rate. Customer came in multiple times to sign repair authorizations and to pay for repairs in partial payments. A few weeks after picking up her vehicle there was an issue with backup camera which was repaired at Chevy and we reimbursed her for that repair. Even after the repairs were completed the customer would call yelling and using profanity which made it difficult to understand what she was saying. We asked her multiple times to bring her vehicle in if she was having issues and she never did. Not once did she mention issues with the engine and per the repair that was not even an area that we touched. The damage that was repaired had nothing to do with the engine. I am attaching the pictures we took as well as the estimate. Customer paid for the work that was performed and there is nothing owed at this time back to the customer.

  This transaction with Trophy Nissan has been questionable from the start. First they tried to charge us 23.5% interest, We went to our credit union to secure a reasonable auto loan and returned to complete the purchase at the dealership. The advertised price on this vehicle was $17,777 but once we started signing documents we were told $2,100 of upgrades were already installed on the vehicle and we would need to pay for it so we moved forward. They should have been honest with the advertising and advertised the vehicle for the total price they were expecting to be paid. We completed the paperwork and had delivered the check from the credit union and we were told the care would be ready in a few days once they detail it and repair the light. We are now 13 days out from when they received payment and we still do not have our vehicle. We called yesterday and was told the vehicle would not be ready for another week because they are waiting on a part to come in that **** fix some shifting issues in the truck. My question is why was a vehicle listed that was not ready for the consumer to take possession especially when the advertised price was also not honored.?

  Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/11/01) */ Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the complaint submitted by our customer Ms. ******* ******** ("Customer"). The Customer and her husband came to Trophy Nissan ("Dealership") looking to purchase a truck. They had located a specific vehicle that had just been posted online and came to the Dealership to inquire. At the time of purchase, the Customer was informed the vehicle would not be ready that day for delivery due to a pending part that was expected to be delivered that day but was necessary for the vehicle to pass *** state inspection. The Customer understood and continued with the purchase knowing the current status of the vehicle. The part arrived for the vehicle and unfortunately it did not resolve the issue and allow the vehicle to pass *** state inspection. The Customer was informed that an additional part was needed and that the Dealership would be obtaining this at no charge to the Customer. Also, since this was an additional delay, the Dealership offered the Customer a loaner vehicle for the duration of the time they are without the vehicle. However, the Customer advised they would require a full size truck. The Dealership only has one loaner truck that meets this requirement. The Dealership advised the Customer they would contact her as soon as the loaner truck is available. As of October 31, 2022 the vehicle the Customer purchased is repaired and delivered to the Customer. As for the advertised price not listing all of the upgrades, the online price advises the price does not include all pricing items. Further, the dealer added options was only an additional $1,595.00 not $2,100.00 as the Customer stated. The dealer added options were clearly displayed on the window sticker of the vehicle at the Dealership in addition to the Purchase Agreement signed by the Customer. After speaking with the Customer, it is the understanding of the Dealership that her concerns have been addressed.

  I brought my 2013 nissan altima to the service center in April for a safety recall for a hood latch and a law suit settlement for a safety recall for the headlights. I was told the headlights were ordered and should be in September or October. I have called the last 2 days and was told there is no current recall and that a service tech would contact me which has yet to happen. This is a safety recall which should be handle as a priority. I have contacted the corporate office and was told that my best point of contact is the mesquite tx service center. I feel they have no sense of urgency when it comes to a safety recall and have made no attempt at communicating with me on an estimated delivery date for parts.

Nissan had a warranty extension for the headlights that expired August 2019, however the dealership placed an order on 5/06/22 for headlights on this vehicle.

  On may 26 2022 , I went to trophy Nissan to see about a 2018 Cadillac CTS, things went smooth so I traded in my 2017 Chevy Silverado . After I took the car home the next morning I heard a weird noise and told the sales guy "Gerardo Puentes" about the issue. He later said bring it by and they inspected it and offered to fix it so I said great , only bad news was the part was on back order, so I waited and waited for a month and after a month I called constantly and told them "hey it's getting worse" nothing was done just the same sentence " it's on back order we can't do anything" so I said "well can I trade it in, or can y'all pay for the service from my mechanic cause he has the part?" And they said no. So now it's October 5th and the part that I needed wore out so my car is just sitting broken down. It's been 4 months I've been waiting and now I can't drive my own vehicle. I also have MPP coverage and they say they can't make a claim because the parts still gonna be on back order. At this point I just want them to be able to pay for the labor and parts from my own mechanic because unfortunately they aren't doing anything about the situation.

I explained that if he has a shop that can obtain the part to send me a detailed estimate and we would proceed with that repair. Mr. ********* has not been put off, we have truly been waiting on part availability for months.
