Car is 6 days old and already in the shop

So, the dealer called me back...they said the car is ready.

Apparently all the fuses on the car needed to be replaced.

Going over now, fingers crossed.

Good luck w/ the car this time... I would have hoped the first time your car was serviced, they would have given it a through inspection for all fuses but at least they fixed the problem..

I think someone said it before, but didn't want you to make the same mistake again to any other cars. So, I will say it again. You blown your fuses by in proper jumping.

The battery was already about to die because it hasn't been properly charged for 2 years. But the fuses on the car were solely your mishap.

GL with your new car!

Why take it back? He probably got a great deal. This is a minor, stupid issue that they'll take care of. Then it will be a fabulous car. My wife just got a Mazda CX-7 and it had an oil leak on the 3rd day of ownership. Three annoying days in the shop later, we had it back and it's great now. Sometimes there are little bumps...but they can be smoothed and won't be an issue down the road.

I once bought a brand new GM luxury car. The fan belt snapped on the way home from the dealership and had to be towed. Had 3 miles on it! It was fine for the next three years. You just never know.

This happened to me 11 days ago...
My dealer replaced my IPDM and Steering Wheel Lock Assembly.
After researching the forums I found that a few of the member have also had this problem the Steering wheel lock.
Anyway good luck and wasn't your day ruined?!
I was stuck at the gas station in the cold weather for 2 hours.
Yeah, Nissan Road Side!

Hope she's bulletproof from here on out. My 09 was very reliable.

Cmike2780 · 02-05-2011, 10:08 PM

I can't believe you found an 09 with only 20 miles. It must have been sitting on the lot for a while. I would watch for anything else on this car, the tires especially since it was probably sitting on one spot all these years. Good luck OP and enjoy your new ride. Which dealership did you go to if you don't mind me asking?
