DEALER SAYS THEY CAN START REPLACING PARTS BUT THAT MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. VERBAL ESTIMATE COULD BE AROUND $3,200 TO START! CARE IS PRISTINE, GARAGE KEPT, NEVER SEEN RAIN OR SNOW. HELP! PLEASE MAKE NISSAN FIX THIS KNOW ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 40MPH, MY 2005 NISSAN 350Z (41XXX MILES) SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. NO POWER, BRAKES, STEERING, ANYTHING. I GLIDED TO A STOP AND PULLED OVER AS BEST AS I COULD. EVERY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON: CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE SOON, TIRE PRESSURE, ETC. I WAS ON A FLAT, BUSY CITY STREET GOING STRAIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. PRIOR TO THIS, I HAD NO INDICATION OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ETC. I CALLED AAA AND AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES, DECIDED TO SEE IF IT WOULD START SO I COULD MOVE TO A SAFER PLACE. IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I'VE SINCE BEEN ABLE TO START AND DRIVE BUT THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHE FOR ME AND THE DRIVERS AROUND ME. IT'S A VERY CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE READ IT IS ONGOING WITH NISSANS THE SAME AGE AS MINE. SOME WERE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BUT I LOOKED UP MY VIN AND IT'S NOT COVERED. TAKING IT TO A DEALER TOMORROW BUT APPRECIATE ANY HELP REPORTING AND RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. THANKS.

ALL THE CRANKSHAFT SENORS AND CAM SENSORS FAILED WITH A TOTAL LOSE OF POWER CREATING AND VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION. IN OTHER WORDS I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT AN ACCIDENT WAS NOT CREATED AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND NO BACKUP TO POWER THE VEHICLE SAFELY ON THE CITY STREET.

I HAVE HAD 3 RECENT NISSAN VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD SERIOUS MECHANICAL ISSUES, 1ST 2006 NISSAN MURANO (ONLY OWNER) 2ND 2004 NISSAN 350Z 3RD 2005 NISSAN 350Z WHICH EACH OF THESE VEHICLES ARE OVER $30,000 AND TOP MODELS OF MANUFACTURER. THE MURANO WHICH I HAD TO SELL JULY 2011 DUE TO BUYING A HOME AND COULD NOT DEAL WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT IT WAS HAVING ON A REGULAR BASIS....THE 2004 350Z I BOUGHT OFF A PRIVATE SELLER, IT LOOKED GOOD AND BOY WAS I WRONG THE STEREO, ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, SEATS, OVERHEATING, HORRIBLE ROAR FROM THE REAR END, TIRES, WINDOWS FAILING, NEED I SAY MORE!!!!! NOW TO THE CAR I AM CURRENTLY NOT USING DUE TO IT BEING IN THE SHOP FOR THE PAST 3+WEEKS, AND FINALLY HAVING TO DRIVE WITH THE TECH TO LET HIM WITNESS THE DEFECT AS I DROVE.....THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE HEADACHE TO GO THROUGH THIS WITH 3 NEW VEHICLES FROM 1 MANUFACTURER, AND THEM NOT ACCEPTING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THEY ADVISED THAT MY CLUTCH HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I DON'T THINK SO THE CAR HAS APPROX 74000 MILES I BOUGHT WITH 47198. IN MARCH 2011 AFTER NUMEROUS VISITS AND CALLS TO DEALERSHIP THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE MASTER AND SLAVE CYLINDER AT MY REQUEST BECAUSE I RESEARCHED TO FIND MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME COMPONENTS AND TROUBLES . I COULD GO ON BUT I AM JUST [XXX] SICK OF THIS CRAP FROM NISSAN AND I AM READY TO BLOW MY TOP!!!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *KB

TAKATA RECALL I AM HIGHLY CONCERNED ABOUT NISSAN 350Z WHEEL MODELS. WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE COLLAPSED DUE TO THE FACT THE RIM BROKE OFF. WHEELS ARE NISSAN STOCK. NO AFTERMARKET! NO INJURIES WERE PRESENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, MY LIFE AND POSSIBLY THE LIFE OF OTHERS COULDVE BEEN TAKEN FROM THIS MATTER. SO FAR NISSAN REFUSES TO BE AT FAULT. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN INCIDENT TOOK PLACE. HEARD GRINDING AT 55MPH AND VEHICLE COLLAPSED AT 10MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN 350Z. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEELS WERE CRACKED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,120.

WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 40MPH, MY 2005 NISSAN 350Z (41XXX MILES) SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. NO POWER, BRAKES, STEERING, ANYTHING. I GLIDED TO A STOP AND PULLED OVER AS BEST AS I COULD.

ALL OF A SUDDEN AIRBAG LIGHT STARTING FLASHING ON DASH. TOOK TO DEALER THAT DID "DIAGNOSIS" FOR $100+ AND SAID MODULE IN DRIVER SIDE BAG CODE B1134 NEEDS REPLACING FOR $1200.00. DRIVER IS UNEMPLOYED AT MOMENT AND LAID-OFF. DEALERSHIP JUST SAID "DRIVE SAFELY" WHEN LEAVING AND DECIDING NOT TO SHELL OUT $1200 AT MOMENT. NISSAN REFUSES ANY GOODWILL TO FIX CAR EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN AIRBAG RELATED ISSUE AND POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD. SAYS THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY (WHICH IS AT 36,000 FOR NISSAN) AND THE CAR HAS NOT HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS THEREFORE IN 10 YEARS AND HAS BEEN A "GOOD RUNNING CAR." NISSAN FEELS IT IS DRIVER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR. OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS CONSTANTLY RECALL AIRBAG DEVICES BUT NOT NISSAN -- 2007 NISSAN ROADSTER 350 HAS HAD A RECALL FOR AN AIRBAG ISSUE. NUMBER FOR 2007:NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 AND THE AIRBAG MODULE PART NUMBER IS 28556CD00.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN 350Z, THE STRUTS HOLDING THE HEAVY REAR HATCH HAVE FAILED TO KEEP THE HATCH OPEN GRADUALLY DETERIORATING AND HAD HIT BOTH MY WIFE AND I IN THE HEAD VERY BADLY CAUSING BLOODY GASHES IN OUR HEADS. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY FIRST SAID THEY WOULD REPAIR IT FREE, THEN CHANGED THEIR MIND. IT STARTED AS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT LEAD UP TO A TOTAL FAILURE. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR TO NISSAN, I SHOWED THE SERVICE ADVISOR MY BLOODY GASH AND THE REASON PLUS THE LOOSE MECHANISM FOR MANUAL RELEASE. HE SENT THE CAR TO THE SHOP, A TECH THERE SAID THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE STRUTS HOLDING THE HATCHBACK AND THE LOOSE ASSEMBLY WOULD BE A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO TIGHTEN. THIS IS IN SPITE OF THE HATCH NOT OPENING BECAUSE THE STRUTS DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO PULL UP THE TRUNK (HATCH) AND THE ENTIRE MANUAL MECHANISM IS LOOSE WHICH IS ABOVE THE REAR PLATE MOUNT AND LIGHT. I HAVE SPOKE TO OTHER 350Z OWNERS AS WELL AS THE PARTS STORES AND NISSAN PARTS DEPARTMENT. I ASKED ABOUT THE FAILURE RATE, THE RESPONSE WAS "INEVITABLE, INCLUDING THE WINDOW MOTORS." THE PROBLEM BEGAN AT 34,500 MILES WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND PROGRESSED. THIS GRADUAL DEGRADATION FOOLED ME INTO BELIEVING THE NISSAN DEALER. I NOW KNOW THAT IF NISSAN FIXED MY STRUTS FREE AND ADMITTED THE PROBLEM, THEY WOULD HAVE TO RECALL ALL OF THEM, COSTING NISSAN MILLIONS. I FINALLY BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN JAN. OF 2010 WHEN THE CAR WAS AGAIN BROUGHT TO NISSAN AND I WAS USING A VISE-GRIP TO HOLD THE HATCH OPEN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN 350Z. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED NEW BRAKES, BRAKE PADS, AND ROTORS AT THE COST OF $575. IMMEDIATELY, THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR 20 HOURS AND STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART NEEDED TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. AFTERWARDS, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REASON THE VEHICLE WAS SQUEALING WAS DUE TO A SERVICE PACK THAT NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,800.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN 350Z. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL HIS FOOT ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, WHICH CAUSED THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE ICON LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH UPON STARTING THE CAR. THIS VEHICLE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM (DRIVER SIDE) UPON PURCHASING IT ON JANUARY 6, 2012, (58750 MILES ON THE ODOMETER) THE DEALER REPLACED IT PRIOR TO DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT. AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 48 MONTHS WAS INITIALLY PURCHASED BY ME BUT THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND ADVISED ME THAT THE SALESMAN WAS INCORRECT IN OFFERING THIS (QUALITY GUARD+ PLUS APP#06414075) TO ME AND ASKED ME TO COME DOWN AND REVISE IT TO 1 YEAR. I HAVE RECENTLY REPLACED THE MECHANISM FOR THE DRIVERS' SIDE WINDOW WHICH HAD BROKEN, THIS WAS DONE 5 WEEKS AGO FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. THE ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS $730 WHICH I WAS TOLD WOULD BE THE COST SINCE THERE WERE NO RECORDED COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2005 MODEL. THERE WERE, ACCORDING THE DEALERSHIP (HOLMAN INFINITI, MAPLE SHADE, NEW JERSEY) COMPLAINTS FOR ONLY THE 2001 THROUGH 2003 MODELS. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN'S MAIN OFFICE IN TENNESSEE, I WAS ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM, THAT WAS ON FRIDAY, JUNE7TH. I WAS CONTACTED TODAY (6/10/13) AND ADVISED THAT THEY DIDN'T THINK THEY COULD ASSIST ME BUT "MIGHT" QUALIFY UNDER THE "GOODWILL CAMPAIGN". I HAVE NO EXPECTATIONS OF THIS MATTER (CASE # [XXX]) BEING REMEDIED IN MY FAVOR. I FEEL THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR DESPITE BEING SHOWED THE CAR FAX WHICH DID NOT HAVE ANY UNUSUAL PROBLEMS, STILL. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING SAFETY ISSUE WITH AIRBAGS WITH NISSAN CONTINUES TO EXIST. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
