Well, NEITHER TSB fixed my rattles.
They said they did both.
They show both on my service sheet.
The admit the rattles are still there.
In point of fact "Maybe" a bit WORSE, if possible.
They did do the TSB for the steering rack and unfortunatly tightened the rack with the steering wheel off center!
They want it for another day to fix that.
The car brakes squealed so loudly that several people, including the service writer, heard it, as I backed up to leave!
They had earlier told me, they could not reproduce the problem.
The service writer said he could get it looked at "now that he had heard it".
I told him the next time somebody from Nissan even insinuated that I was lying, I would punch them out. And I , who often preach that peace is better than war when dealing with people from whom you want something, meant it.
How DARE Nissan tell me that just because some hophead service writer heard the squeal, that maybe it exists! :14:
I am about to declare my MO a POS.
I am very close to trading it away. I am very disappointed. I really wanted this to work out. I held great hope for the TSBs on the rattle and popping.
I don't want to, but I can probably fix the brakes myself.
But the car is embarrassing.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away......
I owned a Datsun 810. With about 30,000 miles on the clock I was going to work one morning when something caught my eye. It was the heat gauge moving up as i watched it!
I pulled over and shut down as quick as I could. The car never "erupted" but the damage had been done.
Cause? A stuck $2 thermostat.
Diagnosis:
Car was 6000 miles from warranty expiration but slightly more than 3 mos outside of 3 yr warranty.
Judgement - NOT in warranty
Aluminum head warped - non repairable. (Iron block)
Total bill for car estimated to be worth $6000 at the time was $2650. Almost HALF the value of the car.
I vowed to never buy a Datsun again.
Over the years as I bought different American cars, all of which worked out just fine, all I heard and read was how great japanese cars were.
So I thought..............
Sigh.
