Hello.
I have a 2008 Nissan Versa, purchased in March of '08. For the last few months I've been having a horrible time getting it to start. I have to hold the key for a good ten-fifteen seconds before it catches and starts. There is no corrosion or acid on the battery, and no other signs of anything that I can see. I've now taken it into the Nissan dealership twice where I purchased it, and they refuse to fix it yet, stating "They can't duplicate the problem". I find this ridiculous that they kept my car for TWO weeks and couldn't duplicate it, yet it does it at least once or twice a day for me. The problem keeps getting worse and worse, and they seem to not want to help at all. My mother works as a manager at another dealership (chrysler/jeep/dodge) so I know how they operate, and I also know that I am seriously getting the runaround here. I finally called the Nissan Corporate office today and filed a complaint. HOPEFULLY they will actually do something about this.
Anyone else have the same problem? The brakes are also super squeaky... and I am not a "hard braker". They told me this was normal.. true or not?
I'm a college student and put alot of my hard earned money into buying this car myself. BIG mistake.
Shoulda went with someone else
I believe I got a screwed lemon too. The only problem is, they'll only "lemon law" a car that has had the problem AND been fixed 3 times. They won't even FIX IT a first time.
I have one last appointment with them tomorrow morning at 8am. If its not resolved by this trip, I'm taking legal action. We just hired a lawyer for our company, and he'd be more than happy to seek after Nissan as well.
