I went to the dealership to get my car looked at. I was having a weird smell emitting somewhere after highway use. They took off the blower motor, engine covers, and wiper cowling. They verified the smell but they couldnt ID it. They told me its prolly a smell that would disapate over time.

Also, I thought that if you are under your bumper to bumper warranty, you dont have to pay anything out of pocket when you want it to get looked at....am I right?

 

nope...if they fix the problem under warranty they bill nissan the diagnostic charge...welcome to the most useless piece of paper that came with yoru car

 

But they didnt fix anything. Thats the issue here. Oh well, at least they cant say it was my exhaust that caused it now...like they told me over the phone...lol

 

the last two times they charged me for diagnostic under warranty. i sold those cars faster than rabbits got fucked.

 

wtf are you serious?

 

I haven’t the faintest idea why it cost you $100 to find no problem.

 

^ sounds a little like to me as well

 

Yeah...happened twice..
2000Jetta and 06 mazda 3, both sold with very low miles.

 

yeah im not keen on the nissan warranty. i took the car in to have the trans looked at and they charged me a hundred dollars to drive the car around the block and say that yes, my synchro was indeed blown but they wouldnt warranty it

 

Next time write them a check, then call your bank and cancel it.

 

I've been in a handful of times for warranty work and never paid a dime. The only time I've paid Nissan for work was to find what speed sensor went bad.

 

To those who doubt my story:

 

LMFAO!!! o wow man im glad im close with the sevice manager at universal city nissan. they dropped a new tranny in my 06 when i had only like 5k miles on it. i asked if they can fix it and they said they would rather replace it lol.

 

what would happen if you refused to pay?

 

I dont know...Its all retorspective now. I dont think theres anything I can do about it..

 

you live and learn. next time take it to a different dealer and find out if they charge for such things while the car is still under warranty.

 

When I drop off my car I ask “If there is going to be a charge give me a call.”

 

+1 Bingo!

 

If you read your fine print on your nissan factory warranty there is a deductable, which I found out after taking my 04 in and getting the window motor replaced. Cost me 50 bucks, which was good because I had already cancled my extended warranty. But since my dealership did not mail the forms out, I have it fixed for 50 and then got my 2500 back for my warranty cancel. But look and see you should have it on there somewhere.
