My Husband & I purchased a 2020 Nissan Armada Nov. 2022. My first oil change was March 1, 2023. Obviously a multipoint inspection was not performed or was rushed, because I was not told that my tires were bad. The inspection report showed "all green" however on March 24, 2023 I was on the side of the road with a busted tire "thread showing" and found out that my tires were bad, and that I need a alignment.
After roadside assistance, I called Robbins Nissan and expressed to them that whoever inspected my car, did not report that my tires were bad, and I was not notified that I need an alignment. The manger (Keith) and his employee (Dan) "claims" that they do not check for alignments, but that does not alleviate that fact that a proper multipoint inspection was not performed, matter a fact my inspection report is false.
On March 25, 2023 I took my vehicle to the service department, again expressing the negligence of the service team, so Dan & Keith come out at looks at the vehicle, and confirms that I need all new tires an alignment. I was able to get 4 new tires and the alignment for a reasonable price. Although Sunbit payment option. The Sunbit was not explained well, and I ended up paying more than Keith quoted me. The employee need more training on explaining the Sunbit payment option, however I let that issue go.
But here is were the problem starts:
(1) I was told my left rear was bent, and that they need a day take apart and "correct" the alignment. So I made an appointment.
(2) On April 10, 2023 I brought my car back so Robbins so they can "correct" the alignment, I then received a phone call midday saying my control arm is bent, and because its psychical damage its not covered under my extended warranty. (What Psychical Damage!)
I retrieved my car, and every since April 10, 2023, My car is driving WROST now and is very LOUD when turning.
(3) I called my warranty program, and expressed to them of what happened, and I was told that The service department does not make the decision if the warranty program will cover a repairs, the warranty department does, and that the Service department is suppose to call it in for approval not the customer (Me).
(4) My problem what is the psychical damage, I have not hit or run over anything! Robbins Nissan didn't even consider calling in my repair inquiry to the Warranty Department in which I paid for! It's obvious that I was ripped off, and that they want me to pay out of pocket and not have my warranty cover this repair.
I have already contact consumer affairs, I believe that a overall inspection of this vehicle wasn't properly done before the selling of this car.
I understand its a used vehicle, but no one should be putting over $2K on a vehicle that only had about 34K in miles. I know that there's a protocol that dealerships must follow, but the only way to find out is through litigation, in which I am not afraid to pursue read more
