NHTSA Complaint #10565905 — 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA

I PURCHASED A VEHICLE FROM NATIONAL MOTORS ON 12/17/2013. THE SAME DATE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM NATIONAL MOTORS, I NOTICED MY LOCKS DID NOT WORK. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL OPEN AND CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY WITH MY KEY WHILE THE OTHER THREE DOORS ARE NONRESPONSIVE. I CONTACTED [XXX], A CAR SALES MAN AND WAS TOLD MY LOCKS WOULD BE FIXED ONCE THE LOCKS WERE ORDERED. THEY WOULD FIX MY TAIL LIGHT AND THE LOCKS. IN JANUARY, [XXX] ADVISED THAT THE LOCKS WERE ON BACK ORDER BUT SHOULD ARRIVE WITHIN ANOTHER TWO WEEKS AFTER THE CALL.I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP EVERY WEEK FOR A STATUS UPDATE ON THE LOCKS AND CONTINUED TO GET THE RUN AROUND. [XXX] STATED SOMEONE FROM THE DEALERSHIP WOULD CALL ME IN REGARDS TO THE LOCKS ON 2/13/14 AFTER STATING "HE WAS NO LONGER DEALING WITH THIS ANYMORE". NO ONE CALLED. LAST WEEK, 2/18-2/20 I WAS ADVISED BY [XXX] THAT THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP, [XXX], DECIDED TO NO LONGER FIX MY LOCKS. [XXX] STATED THAT THE LOCKS WERE ORDERED AND [XXX] RETURNED THE LOCKS TO THE WAREHOUSE STATING THAT HE WAS NO LONGER GOING TO REPAIR THE DOORS. MY FATHER CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ON 2/21/14 AND JOHN ADVISED THAT I GO TO MY LOCAL BEST BUY TO GET A REMOTE SENSOR. ON 2/22/14 I WAS TOLD BY A BEST BUY INSTALLER THAT THE SENSOR WOULD NOT FIX THE LOCKS BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. SINCE THE KEY OPENS ONE OF THE DOORS, THE INSTALLER STATED THAT THE REMOTE SENSOR IS NOT THE ISSUE. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DOORS. JOHN HAMMER THEN STATED TO ME AND THE INSTALLER OF BEST BUY THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUES WITH THE DOOR PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE AND STILL DECIDED TO SELL THE CAR TO ME. THIS SAME DAY, THE BEST BUY INSTALLER CONTACTED JOHN AND TOLD HIM THAT THE LOCKS WOULD NOT BE FIXED BY BEST BUY. JOHN TOLD ME TO COME TO THE DEALERSHIP TO TRADE THE CAR BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE LOCKS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
