w@@kers on nissan forum

[bud78]

joined the nissan qashqai forum in march coz got the new qashqai when it came out and had nothing but problems, but they do not like it when you air them in there section that is for complaints wtf is that about. this is the problems i found in the first 3 weeks see what you think about them. 1 open back doors and you can see white primer through the paint, and paint on car is chipping more than usal got about 20 chips on bonnet already and the bumper even worse.. (2) chip in wheel where 1 of there tools has hit it when fitting wheels, looks like an axe chopped it. (3) bonnet overhang they are being recaled coz of this, bonnet over hang bumper by about 5 to 10 mm and some times more. (4) front fog light is hanging off (5) 4 big scratches polished 3 out but the forth looks like some1 did it when paint was wet so cant get it out. (6) wipers on auto wipe intermitting when it pours with rain and when it stops raining they start wiping at full speed untill i put them back to manual. (7) took 3 turns to start it on one day just would not start. (8) front brakes seize on after it has rained and left over nite, they proper crunch when brake lose ,and need to give it a lot to brake them loose. (9) and engine rattles more than my j reg hilux surf. is these things bad or am i just being fussy? coz they give me a lot of s@@t over it, but i put it where they say have you had any problems ,that seems like problems to me.

That seems like alot of problems to have with a new car, and your right to kick up a fuss


Quick tip for next time, Use paragraphs, that was a nightmare to read

can see why

nissan paints are very soft. Surprised to hear they are still denying the issue in 2010. Back when the 350z was their flagship (and a great seller) they ignored EVERY single owner that complained. There was such a fuss about it they just denied any paint issue. Their paints are like stool water when it comes to strength. Also it was the absolutely disgusting way in which the Nissan dealerships dealt with myself and other zed owners I vowed never to buy a nissan again... though the 370z looks nice it would only be when out of warranty and out of their hands

[bud78]

its taken the dealer to weeks to contact me to book it in to be checked, and it would have been longer i bet if i haddent phoned nissn uk. the dealer was suppose to ring me back tonite for a date to book it in. guess what no phone call. wait till tommrrow.they going to get a blasting.been nice up till now but no more.

not good mate.

just go to the dealership and hit the front bumpers of all there lovely gtr's on the forecourt hard enough to set off the pedestrian safety thing
only costs a few thousand pounds to fix

[bud78]

that sounds like a good idear, i like it lol. just of out to kick some cars.

I had absolute murders with Nissan over my Navara engine. There was a timing chain tensioner fault, which caused the chain to snap and destroy the engine. I fought them for nearly 8 Months as they had apparently recalled all Navara's for this fault but failed to contact us. Initially they denied the recall, then admitted it but still refused to pay. It was only when I commenced legal proceedings that miraculously I received a letter from customer services stating there had been a clerical error, and to book the vehicle in at a dealer of my choice at they would cover all costs. £7.5k and 2 weeks later they put a complete crate engine in. It would appear that I was actually lucky though as this subsequently turned into a very common problem with the D22 Navara and Nissan just dug in their heels and refuted any further claims.

the same happend to my brother in laws 57 plate navara, not sure if nissan fixed that, will have to ring him now and ask. but i know 1 thing, never again will i get a nissan. there bringing out new cars and they have not even masterd the qashqai thats been out over 3 years.

[V88Dicky]

There's a Qashqai forum?? Bloody hell, bet they're an interesting lot, talking (with anenoids) about fuel economy and loadspace.

Seriously, hope you get your car sorted. Show them no quarter

[bud78]

thats what its like on that site, in not so many words said i was to young. so looked through there profile and the average age was about 63. so maybe i am to young to own a qashqai. and thats fine by me coz i dont want it.

for sale qashqai 1500 miles on the clock and a month old offers please.......lol

[the_ferret82]

tell the garage you are unhappy with the car and there service and you wish to return the car and you want all your money back.

[bud78]

we are trying to do that, but coz we took so long there saying now we have to give them a chance to fix. but the reason we took so long is they left it 2 weeks befor they contacted us, and they never ring back. think they mite have done this on purpose. but spoke to some1 else and they said these are to bad to fix on new car so fingers crossed. should be going back in this thursday.

[Ciscas]

No good talking on the phone,- you have to go there in person and show no mercy.

[bud78]

yep its going back thursday, they now just got to ring back with a time. guess what said they would ring back by 3.30 and its now 3.50. no phone call again so going to ring them now. the bummer is the dealer is 37 miles away so nearly 80 mile round trip. why did i buy a qashqai must be crazy.
