Can I get a full refund on my faulty car?
I bought a 2007 Nissan Qashqai diesel from a SIMI dealer on Sat. 7th and 25 hours later into ownership it has developed the four following faults:
A) ABS fault light on dash after first test drive - solution agreed and accepted - a fault nonetheless.
B) Faulty driver side rear window - window does not rise up again after being lowered - this was noticed 1.5 hours after purchase.
C) Red engine warning light on dash after 2.5 hours of purchase - Nissan manual advises car needs to be reviewed professionally ASAP - thick white smoke from the exhaust.
D) 3.15pm Sunday 8th Jan. - car simply will not start. I have advised the dealer I want the car collected and a complete refund issued.
I believe I am entitled to do so under current consumer law (not of merchantable quality and unfit for purpose) - can you confirm?
Thanks.
