Don't Buy Nissan Sylphy

[untouchable]

Nissan might have change the original part with local ones, just speculate. They maybe want to reduce the cost, thus cost a lot a problems after that.

sad to hear your case bro.....I think most will agree that the mentality and attitude of the staff that ruins the reputation of the company. The lack of will to solve and lack of responsibility that causes dissatisfaction among customers or buyer....things can be solved if it is done properly and patiently....some of these mechanics don't like to to jobs like diagnostic check or tracing problems because it's time consuming and they get fed up. In the end, giving lousy excuse to the customer....

I've worked before in both KIA and Toyota myself as a tech and myself also have to say not much good mechanics are around these days...good mechs are really hard to find...

i agree 100% with TitanRev. :top:

Wow! Nissan also? Hard to believe... I guess in every brand, 1 out of few thousand units will be like that?

I like what one person suggested before. List down the faults and response that nissan gave, e mail it to nissan. C.c to proton, perodua, daihatsu, toyota, honda, kia, hyundai etc... This should help... I forgot the person who gave this suggestion in another thread last time. ^^

my friends sylphy no problem .... nothing happen .... buy car is more or less to your luck one .... some ppl can buy a car without a problem and some ppl buy car a lot of problem .... the most important is the SC or the dealership willing to take the responsible anot only ....

hmm..I heard that the height of sylphy is one side higher than the other side..my friend have this problem and so does his other friends..juz measure the space between the wheel and the arch on both sides and then you will know..Heard that Nissan has yet to get this problem solve..

 

[zul1986]

new car got all of this prob...unexpected for great company reputation like nissan....:hmmmm:

my dad's sylphy no problem wor.. maybe your just unlucky that u got a faulty one. i suggest you make a complaint and see their manager directly. list him all the defects and hopefully he'll do something for you. Tho in yr case its hard since you have already own the car for almost 2 years. maybe this would help, stand by the mechanic when they repair or change parts. cuz many of the mechanics in the nissan center are only diploma holders that know very little and they dont handle your car with care. so that you are able to monitor and question them or tell them off if they are doing something unsure or wrong. i know they will tell u do wait at the spot whr they supply u drinks newspapers and tell u that u are forbitten from going into the workshop for safety reasons. just tell them nicely you can handle yrself well and wanna see what they do with yr car as problem solve have nvr been permanant. just my opinion heh cuz i do that with my dad and realised they will be more carefull and will do better jobs. heh anyway cheer up and all the best dude

Not just the Sylphy but also Sentra & Livina.

DON’T BUY NISSAN.

my 3 yr old latio's aircon recently something went wrong, sometimes aircon is cold at first,but after driving awhile,it become not cold at all, left the fan working.then u need the switch off the aircon then switch on again,then it will start functioning,and u can see the foggy gas coming out from the fans there,it become very cold for awhile b4 the problem comes back again!sigh!!!!!what happened?


I owned a brand new Nissan Sylphy since August 2008. Until 09/04/2010, my car mileages run up to 90,000 km.(Car age: 1 year 7 month).

The quality problems I having so far as below: -
1) Dashboard has bubble spot - changed on January 2010 - problem solved – reason given was Japan and Malaysia weather difference.
2) Complaint on suspension noise - when turning and on uneven road (since 2nd service
mileage 6710 km until 89,994 km). NOW 90,000 km only solve the problem with
changing the caliper set !!!!!! All the while Nissan Malaysia only gives the solution
of "Tighten Undercarriage" for this problem.
3) Gear Oil Leaking - replace gearbox oil seal 2 time but problem still not solve. Now Nissan only agreed to replace a new gear box.
4) Air Con Gas Leaking - replace cooling coil (recently) - problem solved at this moment, later don’t know yet.
5) Everytime after service brake system, steering will have vibrate when apply brake (at
100 km/hr) - SOLUTION FROM NISSAN MALAYSIA: TO SKIM BRAKE
DISC!!!!!! until now my brake disc have been skimmed for 2 times and actually in between the period I have stop them for skimming because I worry on the brake disc thickness. Now I also stopping them since they said they want to skim for the 3rd times.

Current condition of my Car.
Since 6/4/2010 I collect my car until now,
1). 2 unit of my engine mounting broken due to dismantling of engine and have been replaced recently.
2). Knocking sound on steering when turning.
all the above problem still not solve yet and I was so worry every time when I driving the car because I don’t know what others parts will spoil and when the brake system will gone off.
Conclusion
Don’t buy Nissan vehicles, you will regret for your whole life.
Because Nissan Malaysia will not entertain your complaint, they will tell you the parts are under wear & tear category.
Even though fuel consumption is low, but maintenance is very very high.
REMIND : DON’T LET NISSAN No Skill Division (NSD) people check your car because they will twist & turn the facts.

My car was broke down 2 days ago, the car was not giving any response when i press the oil pedal.

My car was checked by 2 workshops by the diagnostic tool and it shows error " P1777- step motor failure" on the gear box diagnostic. I was making the call to Tan Chong Service centre to ask for advise, and they told me that it might be caused by the gear box and it need to be replaced. The cost should be around RM 10,000.00 exclude the labour. FYI, my car mileage is 140,000 km, and the car age is almost 3 years.

My question is how come the gear box can be broken down so easily and NISSAN has claim that this gear box can last for at least 10 years, but warranty just 100,000km. sucksssssss...



This is not first incident happen to me. My car was having different problems since the first day i bought this car.

The following problems shows what has happen to me car:

a. Power Steering Coupling
b. Dashboard has bubble spot : it take 2 days to replace.
c. 3 sets of engine mounting broken on 101,000km mileage (which I has made complaint on it through customer service)
d. Gear Box problem on 140,000km mileage

Well unfortunately most people cannot afford such expensive cars dude!

LOok lIke Nissan is worse than proton now...

Anyway, the caliper sound like Myvi. To resolve this either change the caliper pin oversize or modify another caliPer buy from chopshoP

 

[Lean]

Every Car manufacture has it's own problem. You can't just agree with what people said by just looking at the flames and critics here. Don't just complain and take the car back to the SC of the Car manufacture itself to get the warranty claim while it still have. Complaining ere won't make any different. Just my 2cents.

Nissan was well known for their lasting parts and durability...but didnt expect the quality sucks lately due to numerous complain...must be something wrong in the production chain or distribution chain then pressure to the after sales dept resulting in all these grudges...hope they can turn over n gain the confident back like before....nissan sunny & vanette C22 ...best van and family saloon of all time....

yeah, discount was scary....u go check it out....but for business strategy wise, to clear stock why not cos year ended 2011....now 2012 already .....
