Poor service

NISSAN MELROSE - POOR WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to express my concerns regarding my recent experiences with the services provided at Nissan Melrose. While I have had positive interactions with the sales department, my experience with the workshop and branch manager has been far from satisfactory.

I purchased a Nissan X-Trail in August of last year and have faced persistent issues with the brakes since day one. Despite returning the vehicle six times, I have experienced ongoing problems that have yet to be resolved. Each time, I am told that the vehicle has been reset and should operate without problems; however, this has not been the case. Eventually, I was informed that there was an issue with the back brakes' release system, yet I was told that I would be responsible for the costs incurred, despite having driven only 460 km since my purchase.

On the sixth visit, I was told that the noise in my vehicle was due to the brake pad springs rattling; a claim that seems illogical given the circumstances. Furthermore, I have developed a troubling noise from the front brakes when braking hard, and the explanation given—that it concerns carbon issues typical for Nissan vehicles—is just not acceptable.

I find it frustrating and disrespectful that, throughout this entire experience, the branch manager has not taken any initiative to personally address my concerns.

I strongly advise potential customers to reconsider their options before choosing Nissan Melrose for their service needs. It has been an exhausting experience filled with excuses rather than solutions.

Nissan Melrose does not care about what's said about them and thing they can just ignore emails and complaints - the wheel will turn and then what? Just wonder why Nissan struggle
