keep the list coming.

Can bros here please email me your full name, nickname, car number & email address separately?

my email : windmill75@yahoo.com

I'm consolidating this list now that we've hit about 20 such similar story.
I will email the list to everyone by end of March/early april in order to allow bros here some time
to reply me.

I will be requesting for accountability in these common defects. They should not be worn out just after the warranty period.
Actions requested would be for them to reimburse our repair costs if the defects occur less than 5 yrs. and to extend warranty for these parts to 5 yrs.

Sometimes there is continuous hissing sound (like air escaping from a leaky pipe). I gathered from the responses that it is the aircon gas releasing. Yet, some says the coil is leaking. I am going for my servicing soon and will bring up this matter and see what they say. 

On a side note, if we have enuff people on the list and they refuse to reimburse us/extend warranty, could we call up the reporters. It will be -ve publicity for Tan Chong. They should be concerned after what has happen to Toyota and Honda.

Btw my warranty just over like 2 months.

Hi all .... sorry side-track abit,

Notice most of the breakdowns occur after warranty period, roughly how much to get the aircon/compressor replaced at TCM and outside workshop.
Therefore, since i intend to drive another 2~3yrs (current at 95K), will it be advisable to purchase  3rd party warranty as recommended by one of the offering below?

hi bro midnight

i'm publicity shy la
i can help to write a letter to tan chong nissan but i require bro here to sign on the petition.
not keen to go to newspaper yet.

I am we make not necessary need to appear on tv, if we do, can ask the team to mozaic away your face. Interview by the reporter could also be done in a controlled environment i guess instead of the public. End of the day, as long as our voices are boradcast thru the media, we have achieved something.

[Midnight]

Tat is coil gas leaking..

But my aircon is still quite cold despite the hissing sound has been there for so long already.
Haiz, dun feel good about Nissan now. My servicing is 2 weeks away, under NPMP.

[Midnight]

Go claim ASAP. Mine same condition, out of warranty. Just got reply from appeal, end results have to pay labour as out of warranty.

I will bring this up during my coming servicing.

How much did you pay for labour?
