Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Squeaky seats and seat belts. Rear suspension replaced 6 months ago and now on way out again, had to wait 3 months for part which magically appeared a few days after writing a letter of complaint to Nissan. Suffered "loss of drive", dealer and Nissan have no explanation other than "external influence" but charged me £228 for clutch. Many complaints later and costs recovered - have discovered that cost of warranty repair was at least £2377.88. Also, £1837.88 to replace a dual-mass flywheel under warranty, apparently, so maintenance will be very expensive when warranty expires.
