4 Weeks ago while sitting in my car before class I noticed a small amount of smoke coming out of my hood, so I turn the car off and check it out. There was a large amount of oil underneith my car and when I checked the oil level out it was low. So I got some oil and put it in my car and brought it to our family mechanic. He looked at it and said it was the timing case and that it would be a very expensive job because it required removal of the engine, so I then brought the car to nissan to be worked out under warrenty.

They said it shouldn't take any longer than a few days... well today marks 3 weeks and I still don't have my car back. yesterday they said they should finish....they didnt. Yesterday they said it will be done today.... still not done. Luckely this happined over winter break or I'd be screwed. So hopefully I get my car back soon enough. To my suprise they offered to detail my car for free and give me some free oil changes for the trouble they've caused, so we'll see how they hold up to that.

 

didn't they give you a rental car to drive?

have you talked to the owner/manager/nissan to put pressure on them?

good luck

yea several times, after like the 5th call he threw in the free detailing/oil change bs.

 

tell them to give you a free loaner, 2k2 SE 5spd or an Altima or SE-R Hope your car is ok

 

3 weeks is inconceivable; I thought a week was bad and they had to drop the tranny and oilpan. You should probably be calling the board of consumers or something.

 

2K2 LOANER? THAT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY DID, 2k2 6spd you mean. I got a 2k1 AE for a loaner when I had CEL on and i needed to get to work. and I have a 2k2. hope the max is ok, if more problems with oil leakage show up, goto the dealer again AND GIVE THEM HELL!

 

The last thing a dealer who's busy wants to do is a long tedious warrantee job. That's why you should always demand a rental. Not cause it saves you a few bucks, but because it costs them and gives the dealer a reason to get the job done. Same with autobody work. If the other side is paying the tab, definitely get the car. Autobody shops are notorious for sitting on cars or drawing out estimated times unless they have a reason not to.

 

why not borrow a i35 from infiniti dealership and give it to him?? its nissan either way

 

if anything you can screw them on the survey that nissan will send you. or you can complain to nissan corperate. that's what i would do.
