    Status:
    Resolved
    I leased a car First week in Frebruary. As at the time I leased the car it had sensor malfunctions. They promised to fix the sensors in time and that I could drive my car of the lot and when the parts arrive they would give me a call to schedule a service. Eventually they schedule the service and it turns out the problem is so bad they cant fix it. .I ask them to give me a new car. Then they tell me that they cant just give me a new car, that I would have to trade in the previous car and pay the trade in difference to be put in a new car. This did not make sense to me. You sold me a malfunctioning car intentionally and now I am stuck with a trade in value to get a new car. They said thats the best they can do. They eventually give me a new car(a pathfinder) the following day after getting this new car that I still had to pay the trade in value for, the dash board lights up. All the electrical malfunctions from the previous car is repeating itself in this new car. At this point I just want my down payment back so I can go to another dealership and get another car. Please note the business is Now called Willis Nissan. Its no longer Hummels Nissan. Contact and address remain the same First car was a Nissan Titan. Second car Nissan Pathfinder

    I'd like to start by saying that I did not originally buy my vehicle from Willis Nissan. I bought it from a reputable dealer in *********, brand new, in 2018. Knowing I lived in ********** - they recommended I do my maintenance at Willis Nissan. Between 2018 and 2022, I took the vehicle in several times for routine maintenance, as well as concerns (ex: Warning lights coming on) that arose. One particular concern I had was that the engine sounded like it was "knocking", which I know can be an issue with larger trucks. Each time I was told there was no issue to be found, and that this was how that particular model "just ************* forward to the end of 2022/early 2023, I brought the truck in for some transmission issues I was experiencing. I feared the worst, and that the entire transmission would need replaced. When they called me with the full diagnosis, they confirmed the transmission needed a complete repair, but also added that they "heard the engine 'knocking', and investigated it further". They went on to tell me the entire engine needed rebuilt, with a multitude of issues, and that in their recommendation : needed fully replaced. Here's the kicker: the valued estimate was over $25k. On a vehicle worth approximately half that. When I raised concern about previous investigations not finding anything, they stated they had no record of this. I contacted Nissan corporate, whom investigated, and determined my assessment was correct. They did have record of the concern. Nissan Corporate ended up paying a large portion of the $25k, albeit all to Willis Nissan. Fast forward to late 2023, and the transmission still wouldn't shift into gear. When I asked about the warranty, I was told it wouldn't be covered. Less than a year later; on a brand new transmission. They charged $1,500. Fast forward another month. The check engine light comes on. Another $975 to fix that. They are honestly not a moral company, and I would never recommend their service department to anyone.
