2003 Nissan 350Z

MY CAR FOR THE LAST YEAR WILL DRIVE 5-7 MILES AND STALL IN REGULAR TRAFFIC. WE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. I FINALLY HAVE ENOUGH $ TO TAKE TO NISSAN. THEY CAME BACK WITH IT NEEDS ALL 2 CAM SHAFT SENSORS AND CRANK SHAFT SENSOR REPLACED. WHEN I GO ON LINE AND SEARCH MY 2003 350Z TOURING EDITION RECALL, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AS IT APPEARS THE WIRES CAN BREAK INSIDE DUE TO TEMP ON SOLDER JOINTS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS THIS A PROBLEM THAT WAS NOTED ON A RECALL AND THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS SAME MODEL, WHY NOW AM I GOING TO PAY NISSAN $1200 FOR THE REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE COVERED. I NEED THIS INVESTIGATED

PURCHASED FOUR (4) MICHELIN TIRES FROM AMERICA'S TIRE DEPOT AND RECEIVED WARRANTY OF 45,000 MILES ON WEAR. HAVE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING PRORATED AMOUNT HAVING RECEIVED LESS THAN 20K MILES AND CHUNKING OF TIRES AS A RESULT.. DIFFICULTY RESIDES IN ATD/MICHELIN: NOT WANTING TO REPLACE TIRES WITHOUT ME SPENDING ANOTHER $500-$700 TO HAVE THEM MOUNTED, BALANCED ETC DUE TO THEIR PRO RATION CALCULATION FACTOR. MY ORIGINAL COST WAS $1000! RESEARCHING THE TIRES I FOUND THAT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REOCCURRING. SINCE 2008 OR EARLIER. MICHELIN DENIES RESPONSIBILITY FOR PRODUCING DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE TIRES THAT CONTRADICTS THE PUBLIC IMAGE THEY HAVE BUILT OVER MANY YEARS. COMPANY PLACES THE PROBLEM WITH THE CONSUMER THUS 'VOIDING' THE WARRANTY MILEAGE GUARANTY THAT THEY SELL WITH THE TIRES IN TURN COSTING THE CUSTOMER UNTOLD THOUSANDS/MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.THERE ARE NUMEROUS CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THESE UNDER ACHIEVING AND UNSAFE TIRES MICHELIN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT STILL THEY ARE ALLOWED TO SELL THESE TIRES, DENY ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTS AND PRACTICE AN UNETHICAL, AND POSSIBLY ILLEGAL, BUSINESS MODEL.

THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE THAT WONT LET YOU OPEN THE DOOR AND WINDOW ON EITHER, OR BOTH SIDES. BE IT WITH THE REMOTE OR EVEN WITH THE KEY FROM THE OUTSIDE, AND LEAVE YOU WITH NO OPTIONS TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE AS THE LATCH REFUSE TO MOVE, I LET YOU CONJURE THE MULTITUDE OF SCENARIOS THAT WOULD PUT YOUR LIFE IN JEOPARDY, IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN A HURRY, A DEATH TRAP AT ANY TIME. A BRIEF SEARCH ON THE INTERNET WOULD SHOW THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH DIFFERENT MODELS OF NISSAN

IN 2005, I BOUGHT A 2003 NISSAN 350Z. IN EARLY NOVEMBER OF 2011, I STARTED HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE WOULD DIE SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE AND TCS LIGHTS WOULD COME ON, AND THE CAR WOULD RUN VERY ROUGH ONCE IT DID DECIDE TO START. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER ON 11/08/2011. THE MILEAGE ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE INVOICE WAS 83,906. ALONG WITH THE PROBLEMS NOTED ABOVE, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN ADDED DIAG P0340 AND C1130 STORED, LOSS OF ENGINE SIGNAL. REPLACED CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS. MY COST FOR THE REPAIR: $618.61. MY CAR HAD NOT ONE, BUT EVERY SYMPTOM OF A RECALLED CAR. THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT SENSOR (VERY SPECIFIC REPAIRS) WERE NEEDED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM; SAME AS A RECALLED VEHICLE. AFTER BRINGING THIS TO NISSAN'S ATTENTION, I WAS CONTACTED BY A REGIONAL MANAGER WHO STATED MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST AND SHE COULD NOT HELP ME.I HOPE NO OTHER VEHICLES ENGINES SHUT OFF WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE.

AFTER BUYING A 2003 350 Z NISSAN, NISSAN REPLACED THE FRONT TIRES TWICE DUE TO BAD ALIGNMENT AND TIRE WEAR AND NOISE. NOW, IT APPEARS, THE SAME UNUSUAL WAR OF THE TIRES ON THE INSIDE IS BACK AS IS THE DEAFENING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. WHY WOULD AN OWNER HAVE TO REPLACE TIRES EVERY 20,000 MILES? THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I HAVE JUST ABOUT STOPPED DRIVING MY CAR, PARKING IT IN THE GARAGE AND TAKING THE BUS TO WORK. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE IN FEAR OF A BLOW OUT OR ACCIDENT. THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED. THEY ADMITTED THE ALIGNMENT PROBLEM PUBLICLY ON THE INTERNET, GAVE ME 2 SETS OF FRONT TIRES AND NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. I CALLED THEM TODAY TO REPEAT MY CONCERNS AND THEY ARE REFERRING MY FILE TO THE REGIONS SPECIALIST WHO "HAS THE POWER TO HELP ME OUT". THEY DID SAY THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR OR TIRES AT THIS TIME WHICH ESSENTIALLY MEANS TOUGH. I WILL LET YOU KNOW THE OUTCOME. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FROM THE LAW OFFICES OF HOWARD A. GUTMAN CURRENTLY. *TR
