The week of Dec 21 2008 I received a recall notice from Nissan about a possible defect in my breaking system on my 2008 Nissan Sentra. I made an appointment for this to be handled on Jan 5, 2009 at 9:20 am est. I was told to bring the vehicle in to correct this possible defect. I brought the car in to pittsburgh east Nissan and was graded by dj, I gave him the vehicle recall notice paper and he told me to have a seat in the waiting room. At 10:30 am - dj, came over to me and told me we don't have the part in stock and they ordered it for me and I will be on the list to call me back to replace the part, I was like what?, I sat here for nothing and you did absolutely nothing to my car, dj told me that's the way Nissan does it, I have to bring the car in and then they order the part, then I get called back in to replace the part. . . . . This does not seem logical to me for a recall, I wasted my time (twice) because they don't want to have extra parts in stock????? help me change this policy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
