Boch Nissan South ( formerly Nissan village)sold me a truck on March 30, 2013 where they rolled back the odometer & failed to mention 2 serious accidents in 2011 prior to my purchase March 2013. I believe we were shown a different car fax I was told it was the salesman's wife's truck that she had just traded in. I have had very serious issues that made no since for a truck that had been babyed by me. Complete enigen fire in febuary nuremous oil leaks & radiator mixing with the coolant oil past 10 months. I brought it into to nissian boch South of North attleboro in April they accused me of rolling back the odometer. I was horrified told them you guys sold me this truck. I went home and ordered a carfax and it clearly happened at the dealership when it went in for repairs on 2 accidents that I was not aware of! boch nissian thinks it's no big deal my 17 year old daughter was driving this truck she could have been in the fire and as a new driver may have panicked and gotten into a serious accident. I was driving on rt 1 North attleboro in February I had just had the valve gasket replaced. I was driving all of a sudden lost all power blank dash saw a ton of smoke coming out of the engine. I jumped out after rolling to the side of route 1 by the time the tow truck came it was simmering. It took over two weeks to repair wiring at patriot electrical in pawtucket ri new alternator, gasket cover replaced again. I thought we were buying a truck with 58,000 miles when in realty it was almost 90, 000 or more depending on far they rolled it it was 70,000 prior to my purchase when the 1st accident happened with the salesman's wife.
I purchased my first vehicle in January 2016 at Kia depot of santa ana (now Kia of orange).. and I feel it is a safety hazard. One month after I purchased the vehicle, I noticed battery corrosion. About a week later I was driving and there was a loud thud that forced me off the road on a busy street and I had to call a tow truck. Turns out the emergency break was completed rusted and crumbled away from the car - this was not the only thing that was rusted I discovered. The entire undercarriage of the car is totally covered and being eaten alive by rust - this car was sold to me, by Kia, as a "as is" car - however, I refuse to let them hid behind that. Since I have bought this car, which was sold to me for a total of $12,592, monthly payments of $285.85- I found out that it was actually sitting in New York around the time of hurricane katrina - legally if its from a different state, they didn't have to disclose that to me & they didn't. so far I've had to get a new battery, new brakes, emergency brake is gone, new muffler, new sway bar, ac recharged, and just recently a piece of the leaf spring under the tire completely snapped off and broke in half while driving - these guys sold me a rusty nightmare and they have since closed up shop. Also the salesman padded my loan application and I just recently found out that is totally illegal - I do not want to wait until another piece of this thing falls apart on me again, I had my 7 year old niece in the car with me the first time when the emergency brake crumbled. I have left reviews and complaints - my next step is a attorney. Here is a report I filed on ripoff report -www.ripoffreport.com/reports/Kia-depot-of-santa-ana/santa-ana-California-92701/Kia-depot-of-santa-ana-sold-me-A-rusted-out-car-that-was-in-hurricane-sandy-santa-ana-ca-1312221
It has same problems as all the 02-08 Xterras but you wont issue recalls on fuel sensor, radiator leaking into tranny, air bag sensors, control arm. Thanks for letting loyal Nissan owners down!!!!
The lower links and P/nos. This collar weld wasn't strong enough and it has separated and deteriorated, and could cause a possible vehicle crash. It makes noise at a low to high speed. I need my VIN # added to the recall list that is listed above with the other recalls for the Nissan Xterra.
I have a 2007 Nissan Xterra 4X4 off road with a rear wheel drive. We need a recall regarding this vehicle before someone get killed due to the weak rear suspension that is not stable and causes all kinds of noise while driving on the highway and off. This is being reported to the department of transportation and I'm having it sent to my attorney in case of death of me and my family while riding in this truck. I see about 5 complaints so far and a number of other complaints regarding this vehicle so I can only believe that a recall will happen to prevent injury from this truck from over turning due to its unstable ride once miles are the suspension. How many complaints have to be received to take action on such dangerous vehicle. Thank you for your time and consideration of caring for innocent lives.
