| 2003 | SUSPENSION:FRONT | EXTREME IRREGULAR FRONT TIRE WEAR (CUPPING) CAUSING LOUD NOISE AND VIBRATION ESPECIALLY DURING BRAKING. VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES ON IT WHEN FIRST NOTICED. TIRES WERE REPLACED AT 5000 MILES AND FRONT END ALIGNMENT CHECKED (ALIGNMENT WAS GOOD). VEHICLE NOW HAS 9000 MILES AND THE FRONT TIRES ARE SHOWING IRREGULAR WEAR AGAIN. MANUFACTURER HAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. *LA |
| 2003 | POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION | I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN 350Z AND I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH GRINDING WHEN I SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR(MANUAL) I HAVE ONLY 20K MILES ON MY STOCK CAR NO MAJOR MODIFICATIONS DONE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO NISSAN AND THEY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT NOTHING WAS FOUND AND WHEN THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT I FOUND MY CAR SHIFTING LIKE BUTTER I WAS AMAZED ON HOW SMOOTH IT WAS. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE PROBLEM IS BACK LIKE IT WAS TEMPORARILY FIXED OR SOMETHING BECAUSE IT GRADUALLY STARTED GETTING TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE I TOOK IT IN. NOW I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD TAKE IT BACK OR AM I STUCK. I HAVE DONE SOME TALKING WITH OTHER "Z" OWNERS ON A WELL KNOWN MESSAGE BOARD AND OVER THE YEARS HUNDREDS HAVE GOT THEIR TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND HUNDREDS HAVEN'T DEPENDING ON DEALERSHIPS. *NM |
