  I am submitting this formal complaint against Rt 33 Nissan due to unauthorized repairs, false claims, and unacceptable treatment from their staff.
  
  On 4/7/25 I brought my 2019 Nissan Sentra to the dealership for diagnostic purposes regarding a suspected transmission issue. I explicitly requested an estimate and did not authorize any repairs, either verbally or in writing.
  
  Despite this, I was later informed by Nissan Corporate that they could not offer goodwill assistance because the dealership claimed that I had “authorized” the transmission replacement—totaling approximately $6,000. This statement is completely false. No documents were signed, and no verbal approval was given.
  
  When I contacted the dealership to correct this information, I was met with extreme unprofessionalism from the Service Manager (James). He was rude, condescending, and accusatory, going so far as to accuse me of trying to “scam” the dealership. This was not only offensive and uncalled for—it was a blatant attempt to deflect accountability.
  
  Initially, the Service Manager even refused to contact Nissan Corporate to correct the false information, despite knowing I never gave authorization for the repair. This lack of cooperation directly interfered with our ability to receive assistance through Nissan’s corporate goodwill program.
  
  Furthermore, the dealership provided me with a rental vehicle to use while the car was being diagnosed. Later, the Service Manager demanded that I return the rental vehicle immediately and threatened to involve the authorities, insinuating that I had stolen the vehicle. He also claimed that by accepting the rental vehicle, I had implicitly authorized the repairs—an assertion that is completely unfounded and lacks any legal basis.
  
  I believe the dealership violated consumer protection laws by:
  • Performing unauthorized repairs on my vehicle
  • Falsely claiming approval was given
  • Engaging in deceptive and hostile customer service practices

I spoke to the manger and the sales person wasnt hold accountable he lied to a customer to get commission! Also a friend to my family also went through this same situation and would like to come forward! The boss **** was very disrespectful, and racist he called me a n***** and told me to leave . They also didnt take no paystubs from me to see what I can afford! They told me the bank that my car is through accept people with out paystubs! I contacted the bank my vehicle is from and they told me its nothing they can do about it , the dealership would have to change the contract. I feel like theyre racist and that was wrong what they did to me! I would like to sue as well .

  The General Manager has investigated the customer's claims, and our business does not condone or have these types of business practices. The manger made no such inappropriate comments to the customer. The customer was explained the terms of the deal at the time of sale which they agreed to. The customer signed all the documents to purchase the vehicle at the agreed upon terms.

  On august 26th me and my wife purchased a ford expedition max from route 33 Nissan. We talked through some details before traveling an hour and 45 mins to look at the vehicle. We arrived and test drove and liked the vehicle and decided to buy it. We put 2000 down on the vehicle and financed the rest. Come to find out on the paperwork it showed the vehicle detailed we’re not correct as it stated online. The vehicle had 10,000 more miles than what it said. So we went back to the negotiating table because that was a bit more miles then we thought. So they agreed to refund us 1,250 dollars of the money we put down. (I have a copy of the refund paperwork we signed). So we made a deal and still purchased the vehicle. They said before we left that they had to cut a check for the refund and couldn’t put it back on my card. So by this time me and my wife spent enough time here and I trusted that in 7-10 business days they’d mail it like they said. Also our license plates they’d mail as well along with warranty paperwork. It’s now Sept 19th and we haven’t seen any of it. Our temporary license plate runs out in 5 days. I’ve called route 33 so many times and they just keep feeding me stories. I just want this process to be over. Our check , plates and warranty that was agreed to.

  The customer's check for $1,250.00 was sent to him via FedEx. His warranty paperwork was emailed over to him and his plates are being processed and a second temp was issued to him. The customer has the General Manager's information should he have any more concerns.

  I purchased a pre-owned car on 12/17/22 and I have not yet received the plates and paperwork. The car dealership only gave me a temporary plate which expired on 1/15/23. I have been calling them several times and also asked them for another temp plate so I dont get a ticket, but was told they usually dont do that. I am not sure what else to do.

  The General Manager will be reaching out to the customer to give them an update on their plates.

  Buy this vehicle 30 days ago. Began to make sound because nissan did not put the piece that corresponds before sale for me to pay. They knew that they did not put it for not spending the money.

  they want me to put it. It is unfair because it should not be under any circumstances to make a sale. Deceiving a customer knowing that was going to happen to the car. The seller and the boss did not care, said they would not and have denied me the temporary plate. The second I am unable to move since I cannot get ticket do not take the flames or answer. I cannot believe that to sell are so fast and to solve something that they knew they should have solved it they do not do it.

  I purchased a car in 2017, the car was paid off 1 year (2022) ahead of loan term. I had Gap coverage insurance on the loan. The dealership was notified in August, 2022 from the Nissan Finance that it was paid off. I have call no less than 25 times, trying to get the refund on the excess of the gap insurance coverage that is due to me. I submitted the cancelation of insurance that was asked in September 2022 and as of today, 01/04/2023, I have not received anything. every time I call, I am told something different every time, I am told every time that I would get a call back and that never happens. Route 33 in my opinion has terrible customer service. I have purchased 2 cars from them and customer service is non existence. I did what was asked when I purchased the car, paid the loan in a timely fashion, even paid it off early. Why is it so hard for them to so what they are suppose to do as well, where is my refund? is Route 33 going to pay me interest on my money that they are holding. I am too the point where I think I need to get an attorney involved. I want what is owed to me, that is my refund of gap insurance.

  My engine was replaced 3 months ago at the Rt 33 Nissan dealer, Its under warranty and the dealer is giving me a very hard time about replacing it because something is wrong with it now. I drive less frequent than the average person. and they're saying it's my fault, etc. Its impossible. I have never had a car to experience engine failure, twice to be exact. My car is 4 years old and has less than 60K miles on it. It is ridiculous that it is expected for the consumer to foot this over >10K bill. Im not being treated fair from this corporation and I expect this to be remedied ASAP. They haven't provided me with a rental or any accommodations while this is under way. They treat their consumers/costumers horrible. I need this situation rectified immediately. I have no way of picking up my child everyday, etc. Its becoming really stressful and I need assistance promptly.
