I bought this car 12/8/12 and it has been a nightmare since I made the purchase. I only driven the car a week since I made the purchase, I haven even made my first payment. I have a real bad feeling about this car, this is the third time I have taken back for service and each time they keep the car for weeks. Can someone tell me what to do with this kind of situation?

After a 5 minute visit to this dealership - the mechanics managed to 'Fix' my car so that I would need to have thousands of dollars of service on it. First they told me I had to purchase a Nissan battery - then I would need my dashboard replaced and a new sunroof motor and switches and they would have to keep my car for almost 6 months before they could find a gas gauge/odometer suitable for my car. This all because my battery was failing and I was driving when it happened.
Drove right into Sears - and replaced the battery with the top of their line. Little did I know that the sunroof, systems indicators, gas gauge to mention a few things - all stopped working. What did they say... "you needed to purchase a Nissan Battery".. my response - Nissan does not make batteries, and I was on the road when this happened and this is general maintenance of my vehicle. Then they said to bring it in - the first thing they told me was it was "out of warranty" - any excuse - then they said the whole dashboard has to come out and be replaced...
If you look on the internet - there are thousands of people that are suffering from the same problem - Nissan needs a recall - mind you - all because the battery was replaced... Well Nissan - you need a recall - because everyone replaces their own battery - recall all the years that cause problems with battery removal.
Then the dealership called me one day to offer me a $9.98 oil change. After it was done - they charged me more than $35.00 - they knew I was there for the special oil change - and what did the Manager say when I checked the amount on my bill was "well, you were supposed to tell your service man why you were here, and what we offered". Remember - I walked into service and they knew I was expected and for what - they are liars and cheats. When I called back the manager - he told me he would give me a $30 credit on my account. Now, they will not even return my calls, not even for parts information.
No, I would never go back there again - never buy a Nissan again (I've had 5 Nissans, 3 Maxima's) and I will tell everyone one I know to go down the block to Bill Tyson Automotive in Royal Palm Beach instead. 561-753-6122 - they will help you and they are honest people.
Bill Tyson Automotive undid the damage in just a few moments - and I now have a great place to go for my 2007 Nissan Maxima SE - and I can trust them too.
Thanks guys - your the best!!!!
