I would like to share the experience I had with my NISSAN QASHQAI and provide you with some feedback on its performance.
I bought my brand new NISSAN QASHQAI - SJNFENJ1OU2413596, from the NISSAN NORDEA certified dealer centre in Riga, Latvia back in August 2012. The car was driven only on the roads with asphalt coating within the EU area.
During the car exploitation period the following issues have occurred:
1. After 10,000 km particulate filter broke down
2. After 44,000 km when I was having the front brake pads replaced (warranty programme), I've been told that the front brake discs have to be replaced too because it was not safe to exploit them anymore. However, it wasn't covered by my warranty. My question is - what kind of material the front brake disks are produced from that they become exploitable after a bit more than 40,000 km of usage and why is this not included in my warranty?!
3. After 55,000 km the clutch got broken and the car had an oil leakage. During the further inspection it appeared that a release bearing and dual mass flywheel are broken too. And of course nothing has been covered by the warranty anymore and I had to pay for all of it myself.
I'd like to add that from the very first day I had issues with changing the gear to 1st and rear, it just didn't switch smoothly. Several times I flagged it to the mechanics during the warranty review, however, nothing ever has been done.
I am very disappointed with the quality of the car. But even more I am disappointed with the negligence of the service. I always thought that NISSAN is producing a very good quality cars, however, the experience that I had, is just unacceptable.
