Hello, Nissan? LAWSUIT TIME!
Man oh man. Wait til you guys hear what just happened! First, a little history about the car:
1. The clutch died just two months after the car was purchased. Nissan refused to replace, denying the fact that there was a technical problem. $3,000+
2. The window motor died and Nissan refused to replace it because the car was no longer under warranty.
3. Nissan took the car in to fix the oil streaks, but returned it with only one of the two sides fixed. On top of that, they broke off the trim on the driver side door. When asked to fix the door and the window streaks, they said that the car is no longer under warranty (they "didn't notice" the first time) and refused.
4. The tranny had to be replaced due to 3rd gear grind. This was today. I finally got the car back and hit the highway. First, second, third, fourth... I'm about to switch lanes, with a car closing in in the lane I was switching to. It would have been a safe distance away if everything went fine, but it didn't... I tried to switch from 4th to 5th but the GEARBOX / TRANNY LOCKED UP! So there I was, half-way into the other lane, STUCK IN NEUTRAL WITH NO ACCELERATION! I NEARLY GOT KILLED!!
I've had enough. I'm taking these ba$tards to court. They're gonna pay for this. The 5th gear lockup CAN BE REPRODUCED and I'm gonna have the car inspected by a few places tomorrow and have reports written up. I'm gonna bury these bastards.
Any advice?

Damn, that is pretty dangerous. Make sure you get everything documented, and dont take any b.s. from them. BTW, is this all from one dealer or what?? If it is, you should have taken the car to another dealer after your first bad experience. Good luck, keep us posted.

my advice is find the best legal counsel specialized in motor accident claims and take nissan for a ride. Although I probably think that you will be generously compensated even before it goes to court, since you have all the evidence you need and it's very bad publicity for them. Ask them to put your name on the top priority for the new GT-R, all expenses paid for

Wow. I really hope you can make a difference. My dad sued the dealership 2 years ago after they ruined his motor. Don't you find it hard to believe that you can take the car in for some simple fixes and end up in a mess?
That happened a few weeks ago when I took it in to get the rear axle click fixed... then one of their employees ruined my sideskirt and Volk wheel by jumping the curb. It took 3 weeks to resolve all of my issues. GT-R? That would be nice, but would you take it in for warranty service? I think not. I will unfortunately pass on the GT-R even if I had the $$.

Bad dealerships are stupid. The internet lets all know their screwups and lack of support for the vehicles they sell. I think people should name names. I'm sure there are owners that over-react and cause their own problems, but caring readers should be able to see through the mumbo jumbo. We should state which dealerships come up with bull and praise the dealerships that really care about solving problems and are proud of the cars they sell. Why not pass on experiences so others get the benefit of ours?

Something tells me that your case is gonna come out in the newspapers and your gonna get filthy rich. In addition to that... Nissan will finally start straightening up their act and give better service for every nissan customers in return for the sake of their image and reputation. So please do sue them, get rich,make sure it becomes exposed into the mass media, and win so in the future we all don't get cheated on our warranties.
