Just bought a 03 with 50,000 miles , battery kept dying took to dealer they cant find a problem. They said the car has been in a flood so no warranty even though i ran carfax and its clean....how can they prove the car has been in a flood???

 

it is probably in the Infiniti dealership database. Prior owners may have taken it to dealership for repair or insurance estimate.
carfax reports are well known for not showing those types of things.

 

no trust me the *** hole dealer would of mentioned that to me if he found anything in the database

 

You bought the car from them and they failed to tell you it was in a flood?
What's the dealer's name and location so other people know not to deal with them.

 

Im not sure if it has or has not been in a flood i think the infiniti dealer is sayin that so they can get out of finding/fixing the elec. problem

 

Your warranty is not with any particular Infiniti dealership. It is with Infiniti (Nissan) if I am not mistaken.. Go to another Infiniti dealership and tell them you were unhappy with the other dealerships service (Im sure they will always be happy to hear that)

 

What Heeb said... and give the name of the dealer who didn't want to work on your car. Hopefully it will prevent other people from buying from them. If the other dealer works on it, I'd also report the bad dealer to the BBB.

 

yes, give name of dealer

 

Take the car back to the dealer you bought it from. I doubt they will refuse warranty, since they sold it to you.

 

Who ever said he bought it from a dealer? It could've been a private sell for all we know.

 

is it a new battery? Batteries are not really covered anyway. Especially at 2+yrs / 50K.

Any Nissan or Infiniti dealer can pull up the vehicle history. You need to get specifics. The car isnt a salvage title right? Then they would have to prove it wasnt covered. Again, assuming its not the battery.

 

if it was in fact the victim of a flood, it sounds like the seller (private or dealership) committed fraud by not disclosing that to you. personally, i'd try to get the seller to buy it back. look up what legal options you have to help make this happen.
