My horrific Dealer Story!

Finally Nissan Admitted there Mistake! so in the Process of putting on my hearter-cor!
Note they had to take off my Exhaust manifold, Alternator and water Pump to even get to the piece that it needed to be put on.. So we picked up the Car Thursday of last week after Brett had gotten off work.. the car ran fine on the way home so looked like all was going to be good. We get a Call Friday afternoon asking if everything was going good and at that time it was( we only drove the car from fairbanks) get in it on Saturday morning to run some errands before the guys from the shop come over and my Check engine light comes on, and my set button that shows you that you have cruise on was flashing.. That was a huge hint that something was wrong.. well then I go and try to lock my car with my Fob.. BEEEEP is all I hear BC it is making my car alarm go off now.. then as I am driving it was kinda cold so I needed to defrost my window some... I hit the defrost button My horn honks... another big sign something isn't right... as Nissan auto shop is Closed on the weekend of Course..
 Monday morning roles around and I am going to take it in like they asked me to.. Car wont ever turn over.. no noise or anything.. so I call Brett and Have him  come and jump me.. we though okay it's something that has drained the battery did we leave something on.. Checked everything No nothing was left on. After about 2 hrs trying to get the car to start and many calls to Nissan... They say have it towed and if it our fault after we look at it we will pay for the tow. Okay that is cool.. Myself did not expect my pretty baby... (my car) to be sitting on a tow truck when it was only 6 yrs old..  Never had any issues other than your normal routine maintenance..
 Nissan calls back Mon. and tries to say that the Inter light was left on and that is what killed the battery.. But How wrong were they..  So they were going to charge us 169.00 for a new battery from them.. We say hold off we wanted to talk to the General manger..  Well he was a total JERK and wouldn't work with us.. so we went to NAPA and got a battery( better than what they were going to put in.. for 121.00 pd out of our pocket..  Okay so Car now has a new battery.. Brett notices a STRANGE Noise that shouldn't be coming from the car with no Keys of anything so he goes and get a Manic from Nissan which looks into the car and says your right that doesn't sound good.. something is run that shouldn't be right now.. Which would be what KILLED or BATTERY! But he proceeds to state it most likely isn't something they had done.. WRONG AGAIN Nissan..
 Car is still at Nissan and will be for about another week! When they were taking pieces off my car they Spilled Antifreeze all over my car in which shorted out my car in turns Killed the battery and the car it's self.. it can be fixed and they are now paying for the tow and the New battery..  and the parts that the killed and Getting me a rental until I can have my car back.. I am glad that this stress have been relived and we can rest on that.. but I miss MY car and want it back,.. but I am excited for what rental car they are giving me... it should be one off the lot..
