Blueticked by Nissan South Africa

I have been subject to the WORST customer service experience. Shortly before my 10 00km service, my windscreen wipers were faulty (which I was unaware of) and it scratched my windscreen. When I took my car in for the service around October 2024, to the Alberton branch, I enquired if Nissan would cover the cost for the windscreen to be replaced. On two separate occasions, a video was taken for warranty, further scratching the windscreen.

The branch replaced the windscreen wipers free of charge, but after numerous follow-ups according to warranty, because I knew the windscreen wipers were faulty and still decided to use them, Nissan was not going to replace the windscreen. I find that statement insulting and an attack on my character. I had absolutely NO idea that the windscreen wipers were faulty. The car is brand new! I phoned Nissan South Africa on December 12th to escalate the matter.

I have received ZERO communication from Nissan South Africa regarding my case. I followed up three times via email between January and February and even tried to call but was unable to get through to anyone. On the third attempt, I sent an email voicing my displeasure regarding the treatment I have received. On March 1st, I was notified via email that another case had been generated and that it would be a priority.

But again, radio silence. It has been three months since I logged the initial case and my car is due for its 20 000km service. The mere fact that I have driven an additional 10 000km and this issue has still not been sorted out is disappointing. Please advise who I can speak to escalate this matter.

Reviewer Update
Nissan SA continues to show no urgency in addressing this matter. I am at my wits end and even requested to speak to the service manager at Nash Nissan Alberton in the hope that he can direct me to someone within Nissan SA to speak to. But as is the norm, radio silence. The case manager DID NOT call me today. My car went in yesterday for its 20 000km service, customer service phoned asking me to rate the service - for which I rated it poorly - I explained this issue yet again and was told it would be escalated. I even submitted two complaints on the Nissan SA website this week and still nobody has contacted me. Apologising for the inconvenience is pointless when absolutely nothing is being done to resolve it.
