One of our forum members getting screwed over by a dealership

DeliriousClam · 06-09-2016, 12:20 PM

One of our premium members, Isamu, Is currently getting getting screwed over by a dealership. He had a turbo Nismo 370z with 6,000 miles on it and under the dealership's posession, the car caught fire and the dealership isn't taking any responsibility. The kicker? car was parked at the service department and they drove it two miles knowing there was a fire hazard

What pisses me off even more is Isamu is military and it shows that the dealership doesn't care about our military members.

I'm posting this up to hopefully spread the word and to see if there's anyone knows anyone that can help him or get as much media attention as we can to get the dealership to respond. Seeing this happen to one of our own pisses me off to no end and I know this will piss off majority of the members here as well.

Here's a link to the dealerships facebook page

Before anyone jumps on a why did he go to the stealer ship there were personal reasons why he chose to. It still doesn't justify what they did.

He needs to get a lawyer, end of story.

What is Isamu's real name? A few posts on their FB page, asking what's going on with his car, may get someone's attention. They may have a presence on other sites.

The last I heard from Isamu he is still having issues finding a lawyer. It's slim pickings in Minot, ND and none of the lawyers he has talked to are willing to assist him. Might have to do with the fact that all the major car dealers in Minot including the Nissan dealer in question are owned by the same family IIRC.

If anybody can help or knows some one that can help with the legal side of this, your assistance would be appreciated.

Living in Minot, ND you don't have a lot of options.

The car is on its way to a performance shop so it is out of the clutches of the dealer. It is now a legal game. From what Isamu has said about the staff there FB comments will most likely have no effect.

If he has full coverage insurance he can claim it and let the insurance company at least pick up some of the tab.

I think that's what's happening. The stealership needs to have their feet held to the fire over this, joyriding in a car with unsafe brakes is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Would they still have claimed 'no responsibility', if their 'techs' had wrecked the car and totaled it? Asshats...

Isamu might have to look outside of Minot for a lawyer, it sounds like the lawyers in Minot are in bed with the stealership....

Doesn't mean I'm not tempted to post something.

He needs to contact the BBB and file a claim, it doesn't matter if the dealership is a member of the BBB or not. He also needs to relay this information to his 1st Sgt so that this could get spread through the base populace, in essence Minot AFB would warn their airmen about the dealership essentially black listing them.

call the cops get the security footage

any ex gfs we should be aware of?

I'm not sure if he wants his full name released. So I'll just say his name is Tim S.

Wow what a terrible situation. I hope it all works out for the best.
I do find it hard to believe a dealership would intentional set fire to anyone's car "They set my car on fire". There's no upside for them. There are three types of cars I have seen catch fire on their own, old poorly maintained cars, Ferrari's, and highly modified cars. I think we do not enough info here to say what happened.

He's already working on that
