Nissan 350Z Vandalized! - Page 2

You should call another Nissan Dealership and ask about their policy if they say they well take full responsability then that is were you take your business even if it's a long drive. You might want to talk to a lawyer about your problem since it was at the dealership due to defective reasons and not your own wear and tear on the Z?

Call a lawyer. That is BS.

There is no way that they can claim no-fault on the damage. Threaten to sue on the grounds that the car was in their posession at the time. Whether or not the WANT to assume liability, they had YOUR car and YOUR keys, hence, any damage incurred during that time could only LEGALLY have been caused by them or by their negligence... it is complet BS for them to say that they have no security or control over their own shop!!!

i have friends who are mechanics, and they automatically assume responsibility for damage occuring in-shop to cars they are fixing, even without the threat of legal action.

just one summons or letter from an attorney should scare them enough to cover it.

In most states the dealership is legally responsible if the damage happened on their property.

I had a '95 Jetta that I bought used from a Toyota dealership here in CO. It had a really nice body kit on it when I bought it. The day I took it home, it was having problems with the brakes. So I took it back the next morning and they said they were going to replace all the rotors. When I came back to get it, both of my sideskirts were cracked down the whole length of the skirt and flopping around. I asked what had happened. They said that when it was on the lift, they put the supports in the wrong spots and crushed my sideskirts. I asked what they were gonna do about it and they said nothing because it's not OEM material. I starting complaining and talking to the manager and making a big scene out of it and finally got them to order new sideskirts for me. They even apologized and everything...so the lesson is, "When something doesn't go the way you want it to, complain and whine until it does!"

The Nissan Dealership and Nissan of North America are not willing to take responsibility for the damages to my 350Z. I am in the process of getting a copy of the police report and getting three estimates from different Nissan dealers. I will use the estimates and the police report in court. I truly believe that any judge will be dismayed by the dealership and Nissans lack of taking care of my damaged 350Z. Of course I will keep you guys informed as to what's going on with this case. Thank all of you for your concern and advice.

I believe you well have no problem proving your point it just sucks that it will take extra time on your side to do it. Get a lawyer and sue them for damages, time away from work, lawyer, and court fees. (Did I forgot anything?) Also report them to the Better Business Burial. Most business are scared of them and if they are also found guilty they have to pay a fine as well, this is what happened to Stillen.

Good luck!!

Don't forget "Seeing a 350Z in pain"! Sue for trauma!

I was reading posts on the 350z and I came across a couple of yours. First thing that cought my attention was the vandalism issue. (By the way, I agree - you should take those fuckers for all you can!) Second was another post ( I don't remember about what) and finally at the bottom of the post list there was the third one about the lemons of your car.
So I opened that one too... Now that is a long list of repairs and complaints you must have made about them.
In my opinion they got sick of you and knowing that they would not be responsible for any damages to the vehicle, while on the lot (if that realy is the case) they gave the Z an ass-whooping so you find a different dealer to take it to for future repairs.

that makes sense......i dont know if all the workers at the dealership decide to up and mess up the car, maybe it was just one employee who was pissed for those reasons and just messed it up, he dindt tell anyone it was him.

I have no idea who did it. I do know that in addition to my 350Z being vandalized that there were 14 other cars of different models that were vandalized also, and there's a police report to verify that. The vandals were able to break into some of the other cars and were able to steal items out of the other cars. I consider myself lucky that the vandals were not able to get into my car. There were 15 different cars vandalized in all and some were worse than others. Mine was not as bad as some of the others. In regards to taking them to court, all I want is for the damage that was done to my car to be taken care of.
