<p>I have purchased a Vehicle form CMH Nissan Highway dealership and took ownership of the vehicle on the 29th July 2016.  There were many occasions that I have contacted the dealership principal with regards to the numerous defects that I had experienced in the first 2 days of regular driving and I didn’t receive any positive feedback.

Upon arrival Preshen spoke to Lee to hand the keys of the courtesy car who didn’t give any feedback on the vehicle. Preshen  left without the vehicle and advised Lee that we will send him any email</p> <p>My point is that we have purchased a Vehicle and discovered major defects on the vehicle of which this should have been picked up by the dealership. It is now onto the third week and the vehicle is nowhere near completion. Will it be another three weeks for the vehicle to be ready, by then I would off already payed my first instalment to Nedbank and wouldn’t have the vehicle because all we were given is just excuse after excuses by the dealership.</p> <p>The service received is totally unacceptable from a dealership that is so long in this industry.</p> <p>Three issues that the dealership is giving me the run-around to resolve</p> <p>·         Replacement of clutch, pressure plate, and releaser bearing</p> <p>·         There is still a vibration on the brakes, My husband advised that this can on be that the control arm bushes are worn off</p> <p>·         The alignment is off</p> <p>·         The spare tyre is not in accordance to the factory specs  </p> <p>·         The front left door lock</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Kind Regards,</p> <p> </p> <p>M Govender</p>
