Dear Nissan Customer Service and Lookers Management,I am writing to raise a formal complaint regarding the ongoing issues with my Nissan vehicle and the unsatisfactory service I have received from your dealership.My car, purchased from Lookers Nissan Newcastle , recently broke down and was towed to a Nissan dealership(13.10.2025). After diagnosis, I was informed that the issue occurred due to excessive heat affecting the clutch, which in turn damaged the flywheel. I was told this was not a manufacturing defect and warranty claim was rejected therefore I would have to cover the repair costs myself.However, I had experienced the same fault previously in May 2025, at that time when the flywheel was damaged due to excessive heat, which then led to clutch failure and which was covered by warranty. Therefore I visited the Nissan Lookers Newcastle with two of my Friends who have also brought vehicles from Nissan LookersI asked the service assistant to review the previous repair history. Since this fault and the cause of the fault are similar to the last incident, this should be the same fault that occurred last time and should be covered by the warranty as the last one. After several requests, he was not even willing to review the repair history of the vehicle.I then asked to speak to the manager about the problem, but he introduced me to another staff member, a senior officer of his. I then asked him to provide me with the printed details of the diagnosis and the detailed repairs performed on both incidents. Because I wanted to appeal the denial of the warranty claim to Nissan Lookers due to the nature of the same problem recurring. At that time, I got to know that they did not even file the warranty claim. Furthermore, they only gave me the printed details of the last repair and did not provide me with any printed report regarding the current incident.They told me that in the last incident, the flywheel was damaged and fail the clutch due to excessive heat and in this case, the clutch was damaged and then flywheel damage due to excessive heat.Then I asked him, "Even after the repair, the same problem continues to occur on the same parts ( Flywheel and Clutch ) due to same cause ( Excessive Heat) in such a short period of time, it should be because of the problem was not properly fixed at last time or the fault in diagnosis.Following that discussion, the senior officer reviewed the repair history and agreed to submit the warranty claim. Despite this, to date, I have not received any update on the status of the claim.In addition, after requesting Nissan lookers Newcastle twice, no courtesy car had been arranged up to now, which was a significant inconvenience with this bad weather condition.I am extremely disappointed with the level of service and communication received. Furthermore, as the same problem is recurring and may be related to some unidentified fault in the vehicle, I request that:1. Please have my warranty claim reviewed and approved as soon as possible, as it is a recurring issue and the last claim was approved for the same issue.2. Please arrange a courtesy car as soon as possible (Due to not having arranged a courtesy car up to now from 13.10.2025).I trust Nissan and Lookers will treat this matter seriously and assist in resolving it promptly.Kind regards,Udara Dhammika Livera KarunarathnaVehicle Registration Number - ND21HBCWarranty Claim No - 46917536Contact No - 073-67656174Address - No 29B Coast road, WallsendDate of Breakdown - 13.10.2025Dealer Name - Lookers Nissan - Newcastle

Dear Nissan Customer Services,I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my Nissan vehicle, which I purchased new just over a year ago.Only a few days after purchase, I noticed a loud squeaking noise from the brakes every time I used them. I contacted the salesperson who sold me the car, and he assured me that this was normal for a new car. However, even after three months, the noise continued.Since then, I have taken the car back to your service centre two to three times for brake repairs. Unfortunately, the issue always comes back after about an hour of driving. In addition, I am now also experiencing:• A loud squeaking noise from the brakes on every use• Occasional clicking sounds from the electric motor• A rattling/loose noise from the front of the car near the steering wheel, as if a part is coming unstuckI work very long hours, and it is difficult for me to keep booking repeated appointments that do not solve the problem. I feel very disappointed that, despite paying a significant amount of money for a new Nissan vehicle, it does not provide the comfort and quality I expected.I kindly request that Nissan investigate these recurring problems more thoroughly and provide me with a proper long-term solution, rather than temporary fixes.Dear Nissan Customer Services,I emailed you a long time ago regarding the issues with my Nissan vehicle. You asked me to send additional information, which I did — but it has now been more than one to two months, and I have not received any confirmation or reply from you at all.This level of service is unacceptable. For such a large and well-known company, the lack of communication and responsibility is extremely disappointing.Please confirm whether my information was received and explain why no one has contacted me. I expect a clear update and resolution for my ongoing vehicle issues as soon as possible.I look forward to your prompt response.Kind regards,Trang Thi phan

On the 22nd of October I took a motability car in for a service and to have the rain sensor looked at and fixed. I was told it would be done by the end of the day so motability wouldn’t arrange a hire car. I was offered a curtesy car for a charge from the dealership which I have since found out shouldn’t apply to motability customers. The repair didn’t get done in time so I asked for a hire car order to be sent to motability so that they would arrange to sort a hire car. Today on the 23rd of October we received a call to say that the windscreen has smashed while they were taking it apart to mend the sensor and that motability wouldn’t pay for it so now them and Nissan are trying to charge us for the windscreen when in fact it was your technicians that have broken it and yous should be replacing it. I find this an appalling level of service to disabled people and it seem more like extortion than customer service. So now not only have we been left without a car for 2 days as a household of disabled people we are expected to pay for damages that yous have caused.

I have been struggling to get a response to my query below. I bought a car on 6th August however the salesman (Ben) informed me when I collected the car that as it’s an ex motability vehicle, the second key would be posted to me once it was sent on to lookers by the motability scheme, which he said would take a few weeks.I chased this and Ben said he would check with motability on 26 September but as it has been 10 weeks now and I’ve struggled to get a response is someone able to help please?

Yesterday (Wednesday 8th October) my car was booked in for a service. My appointment was 9:15AM. On arrival I told the employee Dean that I would need my car back as soon as possible. He said he would note it on the paperwork and let the technicians know. He asked me if I would like my car cleaned after the service in which I replied YES. I also told him I was popping in to town instead of waiting around the sales room. He told me he would be in touch as soon as my car was serviced and was waiting to be cleaned so that by the time I got back from town it would be ready. However it was 2PM and I had not heard a thing. Usually I would receive updates by texts/email tracking the process of the service however I received nothing. So I rang the garage and when I got through to someone on the phone they told me it wouldn’t be done until 4:30/5pm. I told him that I told Dean I needed it as soon as possible and that I have not had any updates at all, he said he would pass it on and they would be in touch. It got to 4pm and I still hadn’t heard anything so I just turned up at the garage.When I arrived Dean said it had just finished. He went on to tell myself and my mam that I was the only customer he had told the technicians that needed to be done as soon as possible yet mine was the last to be done (his words). He then took us to my car and when we got up to it we noticed it hadn’t been cleaned. Dean couldn’t get away quick enough and all he said was he would report back to the technicians that it wasn’t done and walked away. I wasn’t even asked if I would like it done.This is the third time I have used this garage (2 for a service and 1 for MOT) and 2 out of 3 times it’s been absolutely shocking service. I don't understand how a service can take over 7 hours and still when you arrive the job is half complete? This has happened both times. I was told the first time by Craig that it was a one off and for me to please come back next year however its happened again. To be honest after the first time I wasn’t wanting to go back I was going to I travel further to Sunderland were i bought the car from but sadly it shut down. When I went for my MOT it was better however when I returned yesterday it’s very poor.The Nissan service plan is advertised as “ Our Promise, every time you service with Nissan, is that you receive the highest levels of service and aftercare that you can find.”Highest levels of service and aftercare is that a joke? I’m still waiting to receive this, I can’t even get my car back at a reasonable time or even cleaned. It also states that I would receive a free video health check, however when I spoke to the man on the phone he told me they don’t do that anymore as they have a new system but then on arrival for my car I received it?I have been driving 10+ years and get my car serviced yearly and this is the only garage who has my car for the full opening hours and yet fails to complete the full service BOTH times. Why am I paying for a service and getting half a job? I feel like I get discriminated against because I am a young female it’s a joke. I pay for a service I expect it to be done at the “highest levels” (Nissans words).Very poor customer service and I will be leaving reviews.
