  on the morning of 6/5/2025 I left my car at Bayshore Nissan for service because I had a check engine light. I received a text from the service representative *****, (exhibit 1) with information and suggestions for the sensor repair and additional re**mmendations. I requested an itemized list for all the proposed charges, including "re**mmended" programing for an *** update that he said was available. I did not want the *** update he re**mmended, or the brake job. Since I had an oxygen sensor replaced (by a different shop)last year for $550.14, I told ***** to STOP the work order because I wanted to **ntact my waranty insurance representative and that I would get back to him. I also gave him the phone # for the warranty service. ***** said he would call them. We **ntinued to text as he was on hold and when he said he had goten off the phone and proceeded to tell me what my insurance **mpany said was **vered, saying if I did the *** programming, they would **ver the **st of the sensors.he told me the programing **st was $249 per module. i**nfirmed what he said regarding the sensor **verage. at the point i agreed to have the job done. But after the work was done,***** called to say the insurance ** just told him nothing was **vered. the next day i called my insurance** and was told that a PRIOR AUTHORIZATION for any repairs was never issued. Therefore, they did not discuss any re**mmendations with Nissan (*****) . I made my decision to proceed with the work at NIssan, based in good faith, on the information from my insurance **mpany that ***** gave me, that the sensors were **vered. Unfortunately I did not receive an itemized list for the repairs, and since ***** texted me that *** programming was $249 ea, and the sensors were **vered, I expected the repair to be aproximately $500, Nissan's invoice lists the "heated oxygen sensor"at $1099.97.I had no prior information that Nissan's hourly labor rate was $249. ***** manipulated me with false information.

  We are presently looking into the issue. It is generally accepted practice that repairs are not attempted until a customer approves said work.

  While I believe that happened here, we are taking a look at things to be sure that all of our customers are being treated with respect and given that choice.

  Thanks for your patience.

  Filing a complaint regarding Nissan of Bay Shore. Specifically the ******************* I brought my vehicle in today for a synthetic oil change and asked to use this coupon that was emailed to me and they refused to honor it. They told me "the owner refuses to accept it" because he was losing too much money. This is false advertisement if the dealership is refusing to accept something that is offered. The coupon was mailed to my residential address as well as emailed to me and states that it is valid thru 5/11/25. Today is 4/15/25.

  I received a recall on my 2020 Nissan Sentra, I brought the vehicle to Nissan of Bay Shore after almost waiting 1 year for Nissan to get the recall parts in. I brought car in and the next day the vehicle would not drive. I brought car back to dealership and the *** told me I had to pay $250.00 for them to look at it, WHY I just had car there for recall ? They returned with my car needs $7407 + tax. HOW my car was running perfectly prior to recall. NOW I need to pay $8000 in ********** car was running in perfect condition. The service department did not provide me with written estimate. I am being taken advantage of.

  I purchased a certified pre-owned vehicle from this Nissan dealership on May 19. The dealership added a temporary registration sticker to the windshield and told me that the new registration would come in the mail in a couple of weeks. The expiration date on the temporary sticker is now approaching. It is now two weeks away and I still do not have the sticker. I have called the dealer only to be placed on hold for long amounts of time. I have even gone there in person and specifically asked when the transmittal was submitted to the **** I feel they are out of compliance within the 5 day rule of submitting paperwork to the **** They have stated that they cannot provide this information. I am requiring assistance. Can you please assist?

  ****************:

  A number of compromise solutions have been offered by our Nissan staff members.

  None were to your satisfaction - and our service staff would take issue with your assessment of the condition of the vehicle.

  We do believe in customer satisfaction, but simply disagree with the extent of your complaints.

  A smaller, more reasonable compromise may be something our store can contemplate.

  Had leased a Nissan Altima 11/2023. Was told i would receive Floor mats to help protect the interior of the vehicle during the course of the lease. To this date, I have not received said items despite:1. going in person to the dealership on more than one occasion to speak with any representative to see the status of the items mentioned and getting back vague time ********. Receiving multiple calls from dealership either asking if i was still interested in leasing the vehicle, after already having the lease for several months, or inquiring of a complaint issued on their site but never getting back to me with a resolve, only that someone would contact me at a later time.It has now been nearly 5 months and a simple item such as floor mats still have not been made available? This is now the second and final lease I have gotten from this dealership as back in 2022, a similar issue occurred making it necessary to file a complaint with this site at that time as well.

  I appeared at Nissan Bay Shore on January 27, 2024 to discuss my options with my lease ending. My vehicle is a 2020 Nissan Sentra SR, and my residual was approximately $14,000.00 to buyout the lease. However, my car is valued close at $18,000.00 via Carvana and CarMax at the time of appraisal, and was told by ******* that they would honor the $18,000.00. I worked with sales rep ****** who was professional and understanding. In test driving the 2024 vehicles with ******, it turns out that none of the 2024 vehicles I test drove (Sentra and Altima) had all the bells/whistles and features in one vehicle that I had in my vehicle. Once it became apparent that if I was to enter into a new lease for a 2024 vehicle, it would be a downgrade from my 2020 vehicle. I began to move forward with purchasing the vehicle. They had me wait 4 HOURS for no reason, with others meeting with the financial officers who came in after me. My transaction would have been the quickest. When it came time to speak with the financial officer, they tell me that the grand total is $21k. A brand new 2024 Sentra is valued at $23k. The financial officer tells me that the total increased because of sales tax, title transfer, and then an OPTIONAL warranty that was valued over $4k. I told them I do not want or need to purchase the optional warranty, and they told me that they I have to because of NY Lemon Laws. I told them that Lemon Laws would not apply since I have been in possession of the vehicle for 3 years and the one who has been maintaining it outside of any Nissan service center. When I told them this, the financial officer closed my file and stormed out of his office, telling me that he cannot sell me the vehicle pursuant to the lease agreement. He THEN THREATENS TO CALL THE POLICE ON ME if I do not leave the premises. I then speak with the ** who not only is helpful, but justified the financial officer's actions because they were not making enough profit from me.

  I went to trade in one vehicle (Nissan Altima 2014) last year for another (Nissan Rogue 2017) and this establishment sold me a ***** infested car, the transmission light has been on since purchase date of August/September 2022. I returned well in enough time frame for the car to be switched out but the manager would NOT accommodate me under circumstances. The brakes AND tires need replacement, a recall on the key faub. I've tried to go back multiple times and the manger of the dealership was very demeaning, stand-offish, inconsiderate and an overall disappointment. I have just uncovered with proof that THIS DEALERSHIP SOLD ME A LEMON, and no one is doing anything about it. That's most definitely against the law!

  **************:

   It appears you have a list of issues with the vehicle. If the problems have been there since early in your ownership I would simply need copies of the repair orders mentioning those items (so I can get the work done at minimal or zero cost, I must get management on board.)

   I greatly appreciate your patience. The info can be sent here - or more quickly at *****************.

   

   Thanks,

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  I *************************, was sold a LEMON! I purchased a 2017 Nissan Rogue and I need the dealership and ALL parties to take responsibility for said actions. Selling a LEMON in NY is AGAINST THE **** The car was sold to me with an infestation of roaches, check transmission light on, I had to replace brakes AND routers, tires need replacement, I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 1 YEAR!!! There is no way I needed to do all of said maintenance.  When I TRIED to return the car and state the problems, I was met with push back by ***** (who sold me the car), and Executive Manager- *****************************. This man was/is disgusting! He lacks compassion, customer service and over all respect. I returned for the transmission/check engine light and was there for hours, the car was taken to the back RESET and brought back out. Mr. *** who was or is the service manager, told me that he needed to order a part and that it was going to take 3 days, that was 1 YEAR AGO! This dealership is located in Bay Shore, which is almost an 2 hr drive for me. so NO I wasn't going to keep driving back and forth to receive NO RESULTS!!! So at this point I'm frustrated and I want a working car! I have all the pictures and text messages where I tried to get a resolution to this problem.

  So to you ***********************, Compliance Officer: **** is a response to what you said and I quote "It appears you have a list of issues with the vehicle. If the problems have been there since early in your ownership I would simply need copies of the repair orders mentioning those items (so I can get the work done at minimal or zero cost, I must get management on board.)" 

  I hope my response at the top of this message answers all of your concerns! I wouldn't need copy of repair orders if the lemon wasn't sold to me in the first place. Now if you need to see paperwork/images that shows I need brakes and routers, tires, and a NEW TRANSMISSION, on a 2017 Nissan Rogue after only 1 YR SINCE PURCHASE DATE. I definitely can provide that!!
