I have a feeling your car is just sitting at the dealership.

My nephew had the same issue with a korean made car with a bad rod bearing, the dealer just tried to keep changing the oil and filter for 3 weeks calling it an engine knock, his mother ended up filing a complaint with the attorney generals office in her home state and 4 weeks later the company replaced engine. So at this point you need to file a complaint in your home state and make sure you have started a claim with the Corporation or manufacturer.

Yea the dealership says the engineers want the car back to run test and gather more data. They supposely just changed the injectors last week. Now I dropped the car off again on monday. The engineers supposely were suppose to come yesterday sometime to gather data from the ECM. So thanks for the help I cant keep dealing with this, I'm not trying to pay almost 700 a month for the car and insurance for a car I hardly drive. So I will look into the attorney generals office. Because i'm not sure if I can lemon the car.

You really need to stop pussy footing around with them and play hard ball, contact your state attorney generals office and also lodge a formal complaint with the company, and make sure you document every, phone call, letter and visits to dealers, making sure you get a signed copy of every time the car has come in for service about what was actually done to the car.

Nothing will get done until they see that you are serious.

Did you ever really get to talk to or meet this factory engineer ?

No I just sent my advisor an email saying I want the car back today. And if there was any possible way to talk to these engineers. Their has been times where he doesn't even give me a receipt. He's he cant close the ticket yet until they are done with the car.

I'd do what gsxr750 is recommending. Also, contact Nissan North America. If there really are Nissan engineers involved, they'll know. I'm sure they can look your car up by VIN. Get them involved, and let them know you feel like the dealership is jerking you around.

You may actually want to go to another nissan dealer and have them run your VIN # thru their dealer repair system and this may actually show that your car has been a lemon, even before you purchased it and the dealer or private seller, knew very well of these problems and stuck you with the car.

If you purchased the car from a party and they knowingly sold you a lemon, you probably would have a good case for a lawsuit.

Remember the woman lawyer who sued a car company for the hybrid that didn't deliver the advertized MPG rating and she won in california.

I bought the car from a toyota dealership! I wrote to the Attourney Generals office and now the dealership said they changed my spark plugs yesterday. I just told them finish what they need to and close the ticket and that I want my car back.
