‘Good luck with maintenance’, says mechanic who warns against buying a new Nissan after failing to carry out a simple repair

A car repairman has advised motorists not to buy Nissan vehicles when they have trouble fixing the alternator inside one.

O TikTok creator warned others against Nissan after failing to change a car alternator.

Victor Shack (@victorshack) captioned his publish: “I would never own or recommend anyone to buy a Nissan product.”

O video showcases car technology by showing the inside of a Nissan engine.

While making a covert recording, he also listed several reasons why he doesn’t like Nissan vehicles.

The TikToker shared that he was trying to change the alternator inside a 2019 Nissan Rogue 2.5.

Shack emphasized that nothing in the vehicle could be “undone, unscrewed or even repaired.”

The creator said there were some screws on the engine that can be seen but can be unscrewed

“They decided to put the [expletive] AC suction discharge lines,” right on top of the screws that need to be unscrewed, he said.

Because the AC lines are in the way, Shack said, “You can’t put anything down there and turn it on without dismantling a ton of other shit to get there.”

Technology has become quite frustrated with the simple fix.

“These fucking cars, man, it’s worse — worse than anything,” Shack said in the video.

“I prefer the fucking wagon. This is a joke. This car is a pile of shit.”

He said he feels sorry for Nissan buyers.

“These cars are built to put electric cars on the market, only to explode,” said the creator.

Tips for buying a used car

When shopping for a used car, the experts at US News & World Report offer some tips before you hit the sales lot.

1. Set a realistic budget. Some cars are more expensive to insure and register than others, depending on the engine type, body style, weight and number of doors. Before you get ripped off by a slick salesman, it’s important to know what you can and can’t afford.
2. Researching which car best suits your lifestyle can save you a lot of time. Would a sedan work better for your garage or narrow street? Would a truck meet transportation or towing needs? Knowing what meets your needs can narrow down your options.
3. Look for certified pre-owned cars. Certified pre-owned cars are backed by the manufacturer and come with comprehensive warranties at affordable prices. Some manufacturers have better deals on CPO cars, so shop around carefully.
4. Not all financing options are created equal. Depending on where you intend to finance, if this is on the table, be very careful about who you finance. Your best option would be to get pre-approved by your bank before coming in to get an idea of ​​what rates are affordable and give the dealership an incentive to meet or beat those rates.
5. Consider a used car inspection. Depending on where you are purchasing a vehicle, you may choose to pay around $200 for a used car inspection to have key components examined by an expert.
6. Consider a vehicle history report. When things get close to signing, purchasing a VIN-based vehicle history report can help shed light on previous owners, maintenance records (if it was taken to a dealership), title status and more.

“And good luck fixing it.”

Shack compared Nissan to another manufacturer.

“This isn’t your fucking 1970 Chevy pickup anymore,” the auto repairman said.

“This is a pile of junk that probably costs around $60,000. And it will break as soon as you leave the dealer.”

His post received more than 1,500 comments.

“Alternator going bad on a 2019 car is also crazy,” said one user.

“It’s a Nissan, nothing has been done to maintain it,” another person added.

“You just drive until you can’t anymore.”

Nissan did not immediately respond to The US Sun’s request for comment.
