Mine was but I'm in still in bumper to bumper warranty

This was in Nov 2012, car was just under 12k and no mods other than intake at that time. I do not recall who worked on it.

Yes it was.

I do recall a white Z w/ blacked out front and rear lower fascias when I first started working here. I remember thinking if I ever went w/ white I wanted to do something similar...then (despite the fact I told myself I wouldn't do it again) I ended up buying black...for the fourth time. LOL.

I'm planning to take mine to Connell nissan in Costa Mesa for oil consumption test. Anyone have experiences there?

I'll need to do an oil consumption test as well.

For the CSC and MSC, we can only really service these items once a failure has happened right? That means, we will be screwed if we choose to go through warranty route regardless.

Stadium Nissan in Orange - I deal with Melissa Ornelas, and she's been great. They have done all my service (oil changes, minor and major service at 30k, steering lock failure recall) without any real issues.

Once they put regular dino oil in my car. I typically remind them that I want the ester oil, and they do it. This particular time they put regular oil in my car, charged me only for regular oil, and quickly drained/refilled with ester while I waited.

They do a nice job cleaning the car after service, no BS to deal with, and Melissa was super helpful after Nissan USA initially said I couldn't get the steering lock failure recall since my VIN didn't fall under the range (it failed and I had to get towed to the dealer, this was just a couple months ago). Of course my car is a few months out of warranty now... but Melissa helped me get the part (not the labor) and the tow charge covered. A roughly $1200 bill ended up costing me just a couple hundred bucks.

Oh, and when one of the fuel sender units failed (under warranty), they promptly fixed the issue and gave me a loaner with no hassles.

SoCal Dealerships?
 

How did you find out about the Fuel Sender Units issue?

Thanks for this review, I have been meaning to bring my car over there but the horror stories about dealerships really got me.

Edit: nvm, just found the answer on your other post :tup:

Yeah, the FSU just results in the last LED on the gauge never showing full, even right after you fill the tank.

It's not a big deal. IIRC I drove with a bad FSU for months before bothering to take the car in for warranty service. They diagnosed, ordered the part, gave me a loaner for a day or two, did the repair, good to go.

My car has never had any wear, damage, excessive mileage, etc. being serviced at Stadium Nissan. I've never felt like I was dealing with scumbags or dishonest people. I'll probably continue to take my car there as long as I own it.

SoCal Dealerships?
 

Thanks again. I will call Melissa to make an appointment for the SLU recall. Just need to put the fuse back in first.

My (stock) Cats Heat Shield also rattles! I can hear it at 2 mph and during gear shift... Pretty irritating! I don't know if they could fix it under warranty or not. I have decided to get a Berk HFC and call it a day!

FSU is REALLY common on Nissans, they haven't figured it out in 10+ years.


The second part, in bold, is only covered under your 3/36k warranty, If you wanna swap, I'll swap my OEM not rattling cats with you

The very last LED of of my gas gauge haven't lit up the last 5 or 6 fill up! It hasnt bother me because i always fill up with four dots remaining, but I'm just wondering if this will lead to other problems later on? Ill bring it in if needed, but i dread handing my car over to any dealer after whar she's been through:shakes head:

Dang it! It is still under 36k but past 36 months. I really appreciate your generous offer :tup:

I got a PM asking about the 30k service at Stadium and figured this was info many could benefit from. So I pulled my box o'records...

On 10/1/2013 I paid $422.13 out the door for 30k mile service, including oil change with 5W30 ester oil and tax in OC. Labor was $190, parts $204.52.

In other words.... less than the cost of a single rear tire :D

That was me. What does the $190 labor entail if you don't mind sharing? Thank you

That sounds really high...


There isn't anything to change at 30k really, on a 2000, oil change. On a 2010-up, oil and in cabin air filter
I guess engine filters too, I hast haven't been stock long enough to need air filters
