The highlighted are the complaints I did to Nissan service centre but in the letter from NISSAN date 23 October 2015 clamming that I only complaint once on 21 September 2012 (Refer to attachment at PJ 7 from NISSAN Malaysia). Please read the chronology below. My vehicle is parked at home from April 2015, so I am claiming my monthly car instalment from April 2015 (RM 1840.00 X 9) RM16,560.00 and my air-condition compressor RM1800 which I already paid and repair my gear box. Please advise ASAP and fail to do it, will share with others in social media

Sadly, since taking delivery of the car, I have experienced intermittent noise problem from the car NISSAN TEANA 2.0 litre with Malaysia registration number WVN 3040 bearing Engine No: MR2001****R. This problem has been registered with NISSAN service centre since repeated noise problem persisting after every service . On 21 September 2012 (Clocked Mileage: 46,158kM); I complained of burning odour detected while driving but the Service Centre was unable to diagnose the fault resulting in the air-conditioner compressor malfunctioned and followed by the gear box fault.

These problems could have been averted if the Service Centre exercised professionalism, prudence, and conducted an extensive technical diagnosis on the problem affecting the car. It would have saved me cost and time in remedial maintenance work. All of my complaints has been logged and beseech your good offices to check on the number of times I have registered the rattling noise problem. It makes me ponder if your workshop is technically competent.

Please take note, NISSAN service centre in the process of checking the fault have damaged LHS window glass because every time I lodge the compliant, the service foreman opens the car LHS front window glass suspecting the source of the loud noise being the glass window. They have a way of making you feel stupid.

Once I was driving with my family, suddenly we heard very loud sound where all of us were caught with fright. I did record the noise and the recording is as per attached. Upon sharing this with NISSAN service centre ; the Service personnel displayed a lackadaisical attitude. I just wonder what kind of problem Nissan will take it seriously?

On 25 April 2015 I took the car to NISSAN Service Taman Perindustrian Sungai Sedu, Jalan Banting to check the loud noise. An officer by the name of Mr. Fadzli bin Hamza and a Foreman attended and informed that the noise is due to the RHS front Brake pad which has worn out causing scratches on the brake disk as well as the metal plate holding the brake pad has broken. I asked Mr. Fadzli bin Hamza, can it be replaced immediately and he told me that they donโ€™t have the parts now but they can order if I really wanted to be replaced. I agreed and asked him when will the parts will be ready and he told me that he will contact me once the parts arrived, maybe in 1 week time and also he gave his name card to contact him if I have any enquiry. I called his hand phone at +601******** on 25 May 2015 to find out the status of the parts, but he did not answer any of my calls and also did not reply to my SMS until to date. This is really perturbing to say the least!

On 11th June 2015 I took my car to another NISSAN service centre in Padang Jawa, Klang to replace my wind screen and also check on the unsettled loud noise. I left my car for 2 full days for them to change the wind screen and 1 day to check on the noise. I went back after receiving message from NISSAN that my car is ready for collection and they told that the noise is due to the brake pad and the noise will disappear once I change my brake pads. I asked them back, is anything wrong with the brake disk and they told me that thereโ€™s nothing wrong with the brake disk. This has left me dumbfounded!

I took my car back to another NISSAN service centre in Jalan Kemajuan, Petaling Jaya on 15 July 2015 and ask them to check on the unsettled noise which has now become increasingly worrisome. I had a very bad experience at the service office there where Mr. Tham Wai Kit thought I came without appointment because my car registration number was not in the daily appointment board and he refused to attend to my car where in fact I have already called NISSAN customer service centre on 14 July 2014 to make an appointment to check on the noise and the Lady personnel who attend my call advised me to go straight to the service centre because this isnโ€™t not a service appointment but an emergency case. I explain to Mr. Tham and he was adamant and not happy with my explanations and displayed his displeasures by throwing file, pen and punch keys in keyboard in an aggressive manner and just walked away from his desk after I signed the information/service sheet without wishing me anything and I was still seated at counter. Later I received a call from the service centre and now they tell me gear box is faulty and what was causing the noises and now after a long winded hassle and running around the bush; Nissan wants me to pay RM 18,000 to replace with a new gear box.

Since I have lodged complaints from the very beginning and since Nissan Service Centre was inept/negligent to diagnose the fault I would appreciate it very much that the gear box replaced without any charges and also refund back my RM1815.00 which I paid for the replacement of air conditioner compressor because I have been complaining about the noise since I bought the car and I never had my car serviced other than from NISSAN service centre since the day I purchased. None of your service centres that I took my car were able to diagnose accurately on the noise problem resulting in gear box and air conditioner compressor faults.

I also own and drive Mitsubishi Pajero and a few Malaysia made cars for more than 7 years and have not experienced major problems unlike what I have faced with my NISSAN. These persistent problems and the diagnosing of problems by trial and error method by NISSAN Service Centre has left me disillusioned with NISSAN and more importantly, it has made my Life so much difficult. Fervently hope to get a favourable respond from NISSAN.

Reason of review: Warranty issue.

Monetary Loss: $4267.

Preferred solution: Full refund.

This is my incident case. Bought a full spec Almera with the touch screen radio given was a defect unit.

Repaired it so many time when it was warranty. They refused to change new one. Now after the warranty still got problem with the radio with so many mystery issue and they ask me MYR200 for the repair. After 2month still have the same issue but when i asked they claim its over 2month the warranty been void.

They canโ€™t repair the radio anymore. And the vendor for the radio take month to reply it seems.

This held at Bandar Perda Nissan Bkt Mertajam. How to get this issue solved?

It is deepest request to note that the claim for the air cond compressor will not be entertain. It should be duly noted that the nissan teana 2014 with mileage of 106k KM is high level model and not the entry level of car so same sort of quality assure must be prioritised on these vehicle.

I don't deny the fact of the lapse of warranty but Tan chong Malaysia must also emphasise on quality and durability of parts of the vehicles. It is rather difficult to accept the fact that part of new age can't last Long

I recently have very bad experience with Tan Chong service center for their inability to fix numerous problems with my 2013 Nissan Serena. I had the transmission replaced under warranty but their bad workmanship caused unknown rattling sound at certain rev range.

After a few attempts to find out that they did not re-install the exhaust pipe properly after changing transmission. I also had the steering shaft replaced as it was having sound loud clicking when turning. A few months later, I have to walk in to the service center every week for 3 weeks to fix my aircon. They ended up changing piece by piece from the O-ring to cooling coil and then compressor.

Even though it was all free of charge as it was covered under warranty, it has caused much inconvenience to my life. Numerous calls and emails to the center to request for them to extend my warranty for a few months was unsuccessful. Additionally, the service center also messed up my mileage entry and fast forwarded by ~5000km. It took them a few months to investigate and still yet to be rectify despite that fact that request has been submitted by one of the service center.

Despite all the mishaps by Nissan, I received no compensation nor apology, not even a call from their customer service manager. Nissan car quality and services are subpar and I will never buy another Nissan again!
