The car was pulling to the left(into traffic). Took to local Firestone. Was told it was extremely out of line due to cheap parts(tie-rods)and alignment. Wanted 275.00 to repair. Only chose to get the alignment, couldnt afford tie-rods. |

Daughter was driving 5 mph in a mall parking lot(no speed bumps in mall pl!)and while turning to park, front wheel made loud CLUNK sound she said. She got out, saw the wheel laying out of the ewheel well, tilted to the side, wheel almost fell off car. Called me, I come there, looked at it, jacked it up, took wheel off, saw a bent in INNER TIE ROD! The other girl riding, the lady across the parking space from hers AND a complete stranger who happened to see and decide to wait with daughter till I got there all said same thing-she was just pulling into a parking space! It BENT inner tie rod so bad that the WHEEL ALMOST FELL OFF! I called tow truck, had it taken to local shop, they inform me that Nissan wont sell an "inner tie rod", only an outer. They said if an inner is bent that the entire rack and pinion steering system needs replaced. That it comes with 2 inner tie rods. I see that every car in the world sells inner tie rods for 10 to 25 dollars each. Nissan says you MUST BUY THE ENTIRE RACK FOR $2900.00! I couldnt believe it either! The shop was able to figure out a way for them to fix it all with a aftermarket rack and pinion kit for a heck of a lot less that nissans! Well, 2800 dollars and 4 days later, I got her the car back! PISSED!! NISSAN IS GARBAGE! I investigate, everything about nissan not making inner tie rods for Jukes ios a FACT. Everything said about forcing people to buy a 2900 rack and pinion kit from them instead of a 15 dollar inner tie rod is a FACT! They make an inner tie rod out of garbage, weak, cheap filler metal so it will bend while youre simply parking a car and then force everyone to buy a nearly 3000 part to repair this 15 dollar part! The actual total was 3780 from Nissan for part and labor! For a 15 dollar inferior metal part!! |

Inner Tie Rod Broken...AGAIN! Had paid for tie rod work not too long ago and now the right one just broke one day. Again! Can't afford to pay enormous Nissan service to perform ANY work on car anymore. They've ended up getting all of the money I have ever been to save during my entire lifetime for repairs on this Juke. (Like when the timing chain broke at 50k miles and the engine blew up), of course ALL the other repairs constantly needed to drive halfway safely since. Anyway, I had to try to do this INNER TIE ROD repair myself as they wanted 3, 475 to fix it! Said only they would take out the broken inner tie rod and replace with a non broken, new one($17.99 each) is if I'd pay them to also install new steering box, new tierods both sides, the inners AND outers(even though none of them were broken but the 1 inner on pass side) and pay for something else to do with steering, I think a new pwr steering pump, steering rack and pinion system, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, the list just went on and on and on and on. I bought a new inner tie rod, passenger side, for all of 18 bucks and got it installed myself. It took me 2 days but I am not an auto mechanic. Prob take you or a real mech 2 hours, I dont know. Anyway, it's fixed now and back on the road, driving fine. Not clunking or tire wobbling anymore as theres not a broken inner tie rod on the passenger side anymore. The tires were bought brand new recently, so I didnt want those ruined from wheel not straight! Nissan is so fos that I can't understand how their vehicles are even being bought by ANYONE in the world. I guess they all have plenty more money than I, that's for sure. Ehh, oh well, we are now so used to this garbage from Nissan. Not long AT ALL, after daughter got this new Juke in 2011 it's been the largest auto money scam I've ever dealt with from a manufacturer. It actually, at this point, didn't even surprise me this time. Not the exorbitant costs for anything ever, not the car falling apart since year 1, not the unreasonable(should be illegal) business practices of Nissan charging people thousands of dollars for 15 dollar part installations, no, this time I was like, oh well. Since no one in our family can afford a new car right now, I figured I'd try this time something different than being held hostage for thousands of dollars. The inner tie rod part is only 17.99 and most importantly, my daughter wasn't going 55 or 60 when it broke(again) so she's still alive, I was just thankful for that and those other things this time. From what I understand, all Nissan vehicles are made with sub par metals, so as to have all their suspension parts fail and then get people in for thousands of dollars of repairs. Replacing good, and the broken parts as part of a way to drive up the costs on people. It's a scam, a snowjob, this was a broken 15-20 dollar part. I have learned that their suspensions parts on those suv's of theirs are notorious for breaking(ball joints clunking after failure in only short period of time, tie rods snapping in half because you hit a pot hole, their suspension parts failures list goes on and on) so that you can get hit with a small fortune repair bill from Nissan service dept. Hey Rogue owners, I have heard they use the sentra suspension parts in those heavy suv's to get you in for repair after they cant handle the larger vehicle they were installed into, so then to nail you with a repair bill that is absurd. Juke owners, how about those tie rods? The Nissan juke's engines were recalled when it was found out that they used sub-par metal to make their timing chains for the Jukes, and everyone's engines were blowing up, some at a red light just sitting in idle, while driving to work, after starting their car in their driveways, and most all within only 40, 50, 60 k miles on their cars. Then they went on to say it was all the new owners of those Jukes fault, nothing to do with Nissan, nope, all the engines were blowing up within a couple years or less(and with years and years of payments left on their car loans!) all because the owners, it was alllll the owners faults that their timing chains were snapping in half like toothpicks. But, eventually, that lie(scam) stopped working, and they were forced to recall EVERY Nissan juke finally, and replace every timing chain with a real one, you know, one that wouldn't snap and cause your pistons to crush your valves, rendering your engine useless, worthless, not even rebuildable, with 2, 3, 4 more years left on car loan, so you then had a 3000 lb yard ornament for hundreds of dollars each month, which prevented most from being able to pay for another RUNNING vehicle. You know, that "common" situation. That everyone puts their OWN self in, because everyone broke their timing chains, for some reason(i guess they broke their own timing chains because they were bored? Mad at it? Needed it for something else at the time? Ehhh, who knows why everyone would go snap their timing chains in two but whatever, Nissan said they shouldn't have done that)) So yea, that's all documented. Not an opinion of mine or anyone elses. Gee, thanks Nissan for changing the timing chain for us too, you know, the one that you swapped out of our SECOND engine we had to buy because our timing chain was also one of the ones that snapped in two with 61 thousand miles on the car. The recall swapped that chain out for free, and the other engine, the one that blew up on daughter at 8 pm at night, well that engine was used as a "core" or something? And when Nissan towed the Juke that next day, they still havent reimbursed us for the 259 dollar tow/inspection fee thing they charged to tell us what was wrong. You know, 259 bucks more money from us to tell us that their timing chain snapped in two and blew the engine up with 61k miles and if we wanted to, they would insall another, brand new, Nissan Juke engine from their factory for...wait...ONLY 9000 dollars! Plus 259 for towing, diagnostic fee. But, that this engine would most definitely, without negotiation, come with only a 12,000 mile, or 1 year warranty, whichever came 1st. Yea. And this was before the timing chains recall. We declined that and they said that the only way, then, that they could help us is to put her in a new Rogue, take the remaining 13,000 dollars owed on the blown up Juke, and roll that into the newer car loan. But they would be so kind as to add an extra 2 years on the loan, you know, to keep the monthly payments down to only 600 a month, for only 8 years. We declined that one on just the absurdity of it! Eventually we found a used engine from a totaled car from somewhere up north, I think Minnesota, for 3000 dollars plus 2 more to have it installed. So after 6 months, the vehicle that she was paying on each month blown up in our yard was now fixed finally. 2 months later Nissan recalled the engines. We eventually got reimbursed for the charges and everything except for that 259 dollar towing, inspection fee that day my daughter was driving one minute, trying to figure out how to get her blown up not running car to the side of the road safely the next! Thanks Nissan, you're so world class. |
