For those of you who know me, you've heard the stories of my 2007 Altima, but I will give a quick recap just in case. I drove a 1997 Nissan 200sx for 8 years, but after being hit numerous times and then witnessing the car almost blow up while I was driving it due to an idiot mechanic putting 4 quarts too much oil in it... I decided the car needed to go. It was a BIG deal for me to make such a big purchase and I was so excited, but that didn't last for long.. Little things kept popping up all the time..
1. The glove box was broken and had to be replaced...3 times!!!
2. The hinges on the trunk were put on backwards.
3. The brake pedal was malfunctioning (who needs brakes anyway?)
4. The air conditioning pipes were routed incorrectly and were draining into the car.
5. The front windows screeched every time you rolled them up and down.
6. The air condenser blew out after only a year and a half.
7. When you push the panic button.. the windows rolled down (that'll keep those thieves out!)
SERIOUSLY?!? I think a drunk put that car together!
And... since I obviously didn't learn my lesson.. My husband and I just sold his 2001 VW Jetta and bought a 2010 Nissan Xterra. Another Nissan?!? I must be an idiot.. but I liked it best.
There were two things that I wanted added to the Xterra because I was so used to having them in the Altima--a rearview camera and a built in console for a navigation system. The salesman (who we loved, by the way), said that they could add those on with no problem. He told me that they had ordered the parts and would call me as soon as they came in.
So... I waited.. and waited.. and waited some more.
Finally, I called the dealership and asked to speak to my salesman.. and would you believe it?!? He doesn't work there any more. Imagine that.. I finally feel like I got lucky and then boom.. it is ripped right out from under me! So.. I asked about my parts and was told they would call me back the next day. I gave them a few days and then called again.. Same response. We played this game for a bit and then I decided to show them my ugly side...
Turns out.. they can not find the parts that they sold me.. WTF?!? What does that even mean? How can you not find something that is in all the pictures around the dealership?!? It has been 6 weeks and I still don't have those damn parts and I am beginning to think that I never will.
Why didn't I learn my lesson from the Altima?!?
