GREAT, please confirm my beliefs!

Yeah. I got it fixed and just went the "screw this thing, I'm ordering a new car and never buying a Nissan ever again" route. I have a 4MATIC CLA on its way to me come March.

This is not a personal attack against you OP, I work at a multi franchise dealer in service, do you realize how petty these issues are in the big picture, I actually work for Honda I am an Advisor, and say what you will, I know what I am doing. I have a LIST of common issues with Hondas that I see, no car is perfect, just as our Nissans are not, if you are trading out of this car it is for other reasons, not a bad CSC or master or whatever it was, there are proven aftermarket alternative parts that work, i.e. zspeed hd csc . I work with a former Nissan service manager, and their warranty system is not as forgiving like Honda, if your run the part number and it bounces, it's NOT COVERED, a car is no different than any other product with a warranty, appliances, lawn equipment, you name it, a limited warranty is a agreed upon time or mileage when you purchase the car, if you do not like the terms of the warranty, buy another car, which you have... maybe if you cause enough fuss, you will get help...Honda is a push over, we give out goodwill like it is candy, Nissan is not... The general consumer is unable to see the big picture or understand terms ansd conditions, and to this day growing up in this business(3rd generation in service,but I want out) I cannot for the life of me understand why consumers feel the car company is obligated to fix a vehicle out of warranty, blows my mind...How do you think all the goodwill and BS(some are legit I know) warranty claims are paid for(hopefully rhetorical)?
I would take an accord or base tl over that cheap pos they are calling a Benz(no offense on your decision, just my opinion)...our benz dealer is 50 yards to the right of my building and I have seen these cars...Sounds like the sports car life is not for you, this is the stuff we take on with owning a car like this. I guess I see it different because of my experiences, but glad to hear your car is fixed.

This is not personally directed at you OP, just a little venting obsevation.

And you think an entry-level Benz is going to be more reliable than your Nissan?

Maybe, maybe not....I think he's going to find out on his own that no car is perfect. At least he's got a bumper to bumper warranty now, lol.

Yeah, not only less reliable but more cost cutting services. Its a volume model with less overhead for extras, like good service.

Lol a brand new model German car not breaking? Good luck with that.

Yeah, you absolutely do not want the first model year of any car, much less one with a lot of gadgets.

Well my 09 c300 is pretty much the same inside and stuff for a while. I still have some issues with **** and you'd think that car would be proven.

And the CLA is built to hit a lower price point then the regular C. At least the dealer experience should be better than Nissan, but you are going in there with their lowest priced vehicle. Sell it right before the warranty and free maintenance expires.
