I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO NISSAN THREE TIMES ALREADY. THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TO BITCH AND MOAN EVERY TIME JUST TO GET THEM TO TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. AFTER I DRIVE THE CAR A WHILE, AND AS I AM APPROACHING A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, I BEGIN TO HEAR THIS POPPING NOISE THAT I DID NOT HEAR UNTIL THESE IDIOTS REPLACED MY BRAKES, STRUT & TIE ROD. IS THAT A COINCIDENCE? I DON'T THINK SO.

NOW THEY CLAIM THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE KEPT MY CAR FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS NOW AND THERE IS NO CHANGE. MY WARRANTY IS ALMOST UP AND I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE JUST WAITING FOR IT TO GO OUT AND THEN THEY WILL TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN. I REALLY LOVE THE CARS, BUT THERE IS NO PLACE IN MICHIGAN WHERE I CAN GET GOOD AFTERCARE.
