GU IV and on Dash Bubbles

[threedogs]

X 2 ring around it should be fixed at no cost to you.
You could ask them again as they are just trying to bluff you

My recently acquired 2009 GU has the dash bubbles that was never fixed by the previous owner. My local Ferntree Gully Nissan have said they will cover the costs to replace the dash but I've gotta cover the $500 labour costs. Anyone had luck pushing this through with Nissan recently? Any suggestions on who best to deal with to get it fixed?

Ring Nissan Direct 1800 035 035, and tell them your story, and what you have read on the Forum abot others getting free replacements (including me on a 2005 GU IV, a few years ago now).

Thanks for the responses, I'll give them another call in the morning and let you know how I go.

Just thought I would share my experience with getting my dash replaced on my GU IV 05 model, so I bought the car in October this year with bubble all over the dash I had already done research on the problem on this forum. The previous owner had just covered with a dash mat I was happy to accept this fault as the purchase price was right but figured I would have a go at Nissan anyway being an 05 model I was well out of the 6 year extended warranty or what ever Nissan call it. I held no high hopes but went into the local Nissan dealer explained the problem which they apparently knew nothing about??? After a bit of talking they came out took photos and said they would get back to me. 2 days later I got the phone call thinking the worst but no Nissan had come to the party would replace the dash but I did have to pay 2 hours labour to fit it but I was happy to accept this, I am more than happy with the new dash although it is a slightly different colour to the original it's better than the acne. The only sour note for the experience was the dealer service but that's another story.

Cheers

So a bit of an update guys. Nissan have shut the door on this which is disgraceful as there are still 1000s of affected vehicles out there. If you need a dash click on the link above and make a complaint, enough complaints and the Government might act. There is a big push for this on Facebook at the moment so there are some numbers guys. Get on it.

Yeah my dash is rooted, as well. Nissan don't want to know.
A bloke few years ago tried the same thing for the 3L problems, and I don't think he got very far ... So we'll see how far this gets lol.

I got mine fixed when I first bought the patrol 12 months ago now, previous owner didn't know / care about how to fix it.

Based on feedback from this forum and guys like MR, I got my local dealer to put in a claim with head office. Because it was out of the 6 year grace period, I had to pay for the labour ($400) but Nissan covered the part cost ($2000).

Be disappointing if Nissan backed away from this approach

This is like mine, the old bloke owning the car before me didn't care and the dash bubbled in 2008, after the car was 3 years old ... His words were that it didn't annoy him that much so he left it. Soon the the 6 year period was up and thats all she wrote.
