Your service department is an absolute joke.
Your service department is an absolute joke.
I made an appointment to bring my car in for a coolant leak. Upon arrival I was informed by the adviser, James, that he wasn't sure anyone could look at it as he stated his guy called in sick today. Later that afternoon, I received a voicemail, from James, stating that someone had looked at my car and there wasn't a leak at all. He fed me a line of BS that my system was contaminated with the wrong kind of antifreeze and it caused the air pressure to be incorrect, thus causing my problem. He also said that the caps for the radiator and overflow were switched around and that also was part of the problem. (Who knows if that was even the case) He quoted me an estimate of $380 for the repair, even though I have the remaining of the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty and I also purchased an extended warranty. The vehicle has 16,500 miles on it. I'm not an idiot and I know Nissan recommends their OEM blue coolant, but when there isn't any coolant at all in the radiator, other coolant can be used that will not void any warranty. I explained to him that the radiator cap was removed to fill with coolant to be able to drive it to the dealership, but the overflow cap was never removed. After speaking with him on the phone, I told him I wasn't buying what he said and I would come pick up the car. His response was "OK, buddy" and hung up. Extremely unprofessional. When I arrived to pick up the car I asked to speak to him and he mysteriously wasn't available. I drove home and sure enough, as soon as I pulled in the garage, you could see it dripping all over the ground. I have pictures and video of both before taking it to your service department and after I brought it home. To tell me that there wasn't a leak, is beyond comprehension.
I have since taken the car to a REAL mechanic, who within 30 minutes, called me to let me know he found the leak and would have the problem fixed the same day. The cooler gasket was replaced and I was on my way, $180 later.
Your service department is fraudulent and completely unprofessional. I will be submitting my report to the BBB and also contacting Nissan headquarters as this service should have been covered under warranty.
I will also be sharing my story with everyone I can, up and down the strip and through my industry.
