I have just the opposite feeling about the Nissan Service I have seen so far. I think they are useless!!! I had much better service with my Fords. It takes 2 weeks just to get in for an oil change and I have called 2 dealers to make an appointment so a dealer did not do my first Oil change. The service rep wasn't interested in my paint concerns although their body shop manager found it interesting. The guy that test drove my car in the service department couldn't drive a stick worth a crap and I just about died as he was trying to drive mine. The bad news is I have some type of brake noise that happens after the car sits for a few hours and I first start using the brakes (strange noise and no, not rust on the rotors). I will have to let them attempt to fix this. Notice I said attempt. Somewhere I read there was a service bulletin on this so maybe if I give them a heads up they can figure it out.
As long as your not taking it in for mechanic work you can leave the filter. Why would they be under the hood anyways?
If the dealer ship won't help with the paint contact nissan cust. serv. the 1-800 # is in your owner's manual. Tell them what the dealer said. If they refuse to help take it to a professionall reliable paint shop (NOT MACCO OR FACT O BAKE) they suck. Usually private shops are more reliable. They should be able to fix the chips for a resonable price. But as much as nissan prides themselves on cust. satifation they should help if the dealer won't.

Yeah. me too. I noticed my problem the day after I took it home.
That lil switch keeps slipping down. I've never had to go back to a dearler for lil stuff before. Not Good Nissan.
I have hadproblems with my black02specv. The paint is orangepeeled and low quality. Also the first timeit rained the drops etched my paint and there are water spots that wont comeoff. I have been able to make the car look pretty good. I use a meguiars DA polisher,clay bar, show car glaze and gold class wax. The carlooks really good other than the water spots. The DA polisher is safe and wont cause swirl marks. Just dont use a true rotary buffer unless you are a seasoned pro. One more tip. if you use a self car wash do not ever use the brush to clean your car and do not use the spray on wax at the car wash it will build up and cause your car to looklike s..t.
ok, concerning the paint job.....the nissan paint jobs are the shittiest ever....im not gonna lie....it look like shit...i bought my spec-v on june, 02.....and ive had 2 paint jobs already.....and they were all free....! i dont know how i got it, but when i went in and asked they said i had purchsed some type of "environmental packeage" when i got the car....well that was the best news i heard all day, so now, i dont really care if i get tar,oil,swirls, chips,bug stains, bird shit, anyhting....if i cant wash it off and if they cant wash it off, they repaint the whole car for free....now that is a life saver...im assuming that this "environmental package" is availabe at all nissan dealerships....so im just here to inform you, if it sound like something you might need...because off allt he stains you have and htink youll be getting....go to the nissan dealership and get some info on it....GL guys..
Originally posted by shaolin_racer has anyone else had problems with the steering wheel? mine is starting to turn white and looks very worn. ive only had the car one year. i have a 92 sentra se, also with a leather steering wheel, that one looks fine after 195,000miles. am also starting to get the same thing on the door handle on the driver's side.
does anyone know if any of this is covered by the waranty?
yes it should be covered under warranty, i got mine swapped because i accidentally put a big ass scratch on the steerg wheel, it took awhile to get it ordered and allthat shit, but i got a new one and im happy.....but i think the steering wheel , might be covered by the "environmental package".....if you purchased the package u got nothing to worry about, youll get a new one in no time..

Hmmm, what dealer did you go to? I live in the Houston area too and got mine at David McDavid. I don't remember an environmental package. They tried some ripoff schemes, but I didn't hear this one so maybe it's legit.
