I purchased a brand-new Nissan X-Trail just one month ago from the dealership. On April 23rd—the day of the earthquake—the car refused to start. I immediately contacted road assistance, and they managed to jump-start the battery. When I asked for the cause, the technician blamed short-distance driving.
To test that theory, I drove the car 2,000 km in a single trip that same day. Everything seemed fine—until this morning. I left my home, drove for a bit, stopped for about an hour, and when I returned, the car wouldn’t start again. I called road assistance once more, and this time they told me the vehicle would need to be checked—and the inspection would take two full days.
To make things worse, I was told I wouldn’t be given a replacement vehicle immediately, even though this is my only car. The vehicle is just one month old and has barely 5,000 km on it. It's already failed twice due to battery issues.
This is absolutely unacceptable for a brand-new car. I trusted Nissan and expected peace of mind—not repeated breakdowns and excuses.
