Nissan takes the Suck Award right out of Suzuki's hand!

[nhgunnut]

I went through hell with a 04 Nissan Titan I bought new. Getting them to honor the Warranty on multiple occasions i actually had to call corporate office in Japan. As a result I will NEVER buy another new Nissan / Infinity producg as a result of the 4 year I was Hostage to that truck!

Its $85. Quit being whiney and fix it your damn self.

Not sure I want to fix it with a hack, but I'll show that to my husband and see what he says. I am certainly not fixing it, and he doesn't like to do things the half-a$$ed way. Thanks for finding that though, grumpy. Maybe it will work. :P

Suzuki wasn't nearly this bad. They at least tried to help and didn't completely blow me off.

And now that Nissan has made it's way to the top of my sh!t list, I can go look at the '11 gsxr750s.

I can't really complain about the truck itself. This is the first real problem that isn't easily fixed.

I just have a problem with the way they went about this. They knew there was a problem, and I'm only just outside the warranty limit. It shouldn't matter how many Nissans I've owned. I own one now. I bought it new. I would probably have bought another one, or more. Not sure about it now.

When my father was driving his 2000 GMC Sierra, the fuel level sender went out. The sender is attached to the fuel pump assembly and instead of them just replacing the whole assembly (which they had), the slithered their way out of it and said just the sender was under warranty. SOooooo my father had to be without his pickup for a week for them to order and replace that tiny ass sender instead of swapping the whole thing and be done with it.


Warranties have more fine print than anything else I know of.

At this point, I really wouldn't mind if they did that for me!

Don't feel bad, Nissan wouldn't replace my exhaust manifold (integrated catalytic converter, $$$) because I was 6 miles out of warranty. It was in warranty when I left my house to drive it to the dealer.

Been working with a different dealer since then and it's been night and day difference, but that was a solid $800 lesson.

Gotta ask. Why didn't tow it? I know it sounds dumb, but now I wouldn't think so. It's re-dick-u-less how much exhaust parts cost now. Fuck you emission laws!

6 miles??? Omg. I would probably come unglued.

Because I'm logical and didn't expect Nissan not to stand behind their product because of less than 10 miles. I called to schedule the appointment and gave them the odometer reading; there was no "whoa, you realize we're black and white with the mileage, right?" warning. Six miles is less than 0.01% of the 80k warranty, well within speedometer margin of error... hindsight and all that, I suppose.

It wasn't pretty. I probably could have handled myself better, but the sheer idiocy made me hit my boiling point in the blink of an eye.

Actually, almost all speedos tend to read about 5% fast. I remember a consumer reports article on exactly this. You were certainly within the margin of error, and had you merely had your "lawyer" call and mention this fact, I'd bet that they would have very rapidly backpeddled from their position.
