Default Nissan North America Comes Through

When I bought my Z in July the dealer had removed/wrinkled/torn the window sticker. I want to keep all the records pristine with the car like all my vehicles and the salesman promised to get me a replacement for the window sticker. Turns out that the salesman is a #%&*$@^ liar about that and a few other things! (suprise ) The dealer has seen the last of my money and I blasted them with the truth on the New Vehicle Survey I sent to Nissan. The lies and lack of product knowledge by the salesman, the hidden damage on delivery,and the coersion they attempted concerning the survey promising a tank of gas if I brought the blank survey to them instead of mailing it back directly to Nissan. I don't know what effect, if any, the survey will have but at least I had a chance to vent.

So I send NNA an email last Sunday describing the liar, the lies, and the total disappointment with the dealership and asked what I could do to get a replacement window sticker after waiting two months for the dealer to come through. Three days later (Wednesday) I get the window sticker in the mail with a nice letter from NNA.

I've heard a lot of complaints about customer service from NNA. This time they came through.

Way to go, but you will never be able to have your Z serviced there... I am certain they keep records on purchases, just hope you don't need any TSB/recalls done.

You got to choose your battles..

I think you burned a bridge with your dealer over a sticker. Not a good idea.

Damn, proves my theory that every Nissan dealership in NC are incompetent! Good luck with the services and never under any circumstances come to Fayetteville's Stewart Nissan!

I did try to use the survey for leverage. Told the salesman several times that I was waiting until he came through with the sticker to turn in the survey. After two months it went to NNA.

I take care of regular maintence myself and if I do need to take it in there are 4 other dealers in the area all of which are closer than the one that happened to have the car I wanted and one is actually the sponsor of the Carolina Z Club. Burning the bridge was OK because I wouldn't go back to that dealer if it were that last one on Earth.

Nissan NA goes to pains to see if dealers are influencing the surveys. I bet someone gets their azz reamed on this incidence. Why would anyone ever want to take your car to a dishonest dealership? No loss.

Great move!!

The first time I went to look at Z's at a dealership, the salesman said to me: "This car is rear wheel drive." I didn't know what to say. If you buy a Z, you should know every damn thing about it. I wonder if anyone actually buys them without knowing they're rear wheel drive. So sad. But anyways, it was obvious that this was the only thing he knew about the Z. I then started to baffle him with chassis codes and such. If you work for Nissan, you should know everything a customer might ask you.

Wonder how many dealerships would clean up their acts if more people were actually honest on those surveys instead of taking the free-tank-of-gas bribe.

Pretty foolish of Nissan to allow the dealerships to handle the survey iMO.

If you buy any car you should know everything about it...

but, I am sure everyone of us has met the general public before...and most of them don't realize that turn signals are standard equipment on every car...
