Nissan Temecula Refuses to Refund My $5,000 Deposit – Nearly 3 Years and Still Waiting! (“If I could give 0 stars, I would.”)
I made a $5,000 deposit at Nissan Temecula on March 19, 2022 ($4,000 via debit card and $1,000 in cash) for a vehicle. They gave me the wrong car twice, and the final car had mechanical issues. I returned it on April 14, 2022, and they initially promised to refund my deposit.
Almost 3 years later, Nissan Temecula still refuses to refund my money. They keep changing their stance, providing inconsistent responses, and refusing to communicate in writing, insisting only on phone calls to avoid accountability.
I have repeatedly contacted Nissan North America about this issue, yet they refuse to provide any email responses and insist on phone calls, avoiding written accountability. Despite multiple reports, Nissan North America continues to ignore my concerns and refuses to address the refund issue with Nissan Temecula.
To seek accountability, I have reported this issue to the California DMV, FTC, CFPB, and BBB. Yet, Nissan Temecula continues to ignore my refund request.
If you are considering buying a car from Nissan Temecula, BE CAREFUL! My experience shows they do not honor their refund commitments, and I wouldn’t recommend this dealership to anyone.
