You most likely are not a wanker (can anyone independently confirm this?

). But some people will do just about anything to get out of a car they can't afford, find they don't like, etc. The lemon law is an easy exploit if you know your way around a car well enough.

But then again the dealer may be the wanker...

trust me your choice of words i'm no wanker. i love the car and can afford it.
but would you want to keep a car where at 800 miles the service engine soon
light started to come on. and the only way to get it to go off is to have the dealer reset it for what is now the third time.( recap) 1 filler hose 2 new gas caps 1 which is now duct taped on? they have one more chance to make it right then paper work will be filled.

I would be upset also. I was just looking at it from the stealerships point of view. They are covering their

as they should be.

Hopefully it gets resolved for you soon. But as far as the duct tape that is just the dealer doing his due dillagance when Nissan asks them what they did to make sure it was on the up and up.

I really doubt that using duct tape is part of the troubleshooting process. They have a chart, for lack of a better word, to follow when troubleshooting. If it is acceptable Im sure Audi and BMW, who were slamed on Nissans ads, would love to know they use duct tape to troubleshoot.

Troubleshooting Process:

- Look up CEL code.
- Find some duct tape.
- ???
- Profit!

you are correct the duct tape is part of the troubleshooting process. if after 2
refills of gas if the light does not come on they claim it has to be the gas cap.
sense they have already replaced the filler neck. but what im worried about is the fact its on its second cap already. and if this is the issue is it serious
enough to be consider for the lemon law

Dude I agree whole heartedly that if a dealer is putting duct tape on your fkin hard earned money let them do that **** to their own car. You deserve to be put in a fkin Nismo while they try and figure their own BS problem out. Get your money back and go elsewhere. Thats not McGyver due diligence, thats lazy poor *** customer service. Get your money and run.

My husband is an ASE/Nissan Master/GTR tech. As soon as I read the op to him, he said "Thats some shady ****." Take it to a different dealer. It may be a drive, but at least you'll get better service.
