Months later cat started making a chruching sound when I hit a bump. Replace bushings. 3 days later the nose came back. Went back to Nissan they said the strut needed to be replace. Went back 2 months later the part is still on back order. Front driver seat broke in the 1st 2 weeks of owning it. Got a new seat. And the door jams was poorly painted. Took almost 7 weeks to get a new seat and paint for the car. …”
