Car is 6 days old and already in the shop

Econ · 02-04-2011, 03:43 PM

Bought a 2009 Nissan 370z (it was New with 20 miles), on saturday.

Well last night I get in the car to go home from work, and what do you know, it wont start. The little key light came on the dashboard, and well yea had to get it towed.

Its been at Miller Nissan in Fairfield, CT since last night, and I must say they are pretty horrible as far as customer service is concerened. They told me the car would be diagnosed by 12pm, and to call them then. Well everytime I call they just put me through to voicemail.... Its now almost 5 and have not heard a thing from them.

We'll see....

Ouch! That really sucks, man. This key issue is actually becoming quite common. We've had a handful pop up in the last few weeks.

Take it back!

PapoZalsa · 02-04-2011, 03:46 PM

I would go straight to the dealer if I could!

A 2009(?), with only 20 miles?

I've been through 4 Nissan dealers in my area. The 4th is an absolute gem while the first 3 were terrible. Good ones are out there...just keep looking.

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.
