2003 NISSAN 350Z Complaints

I HAVE OWNED A 2003 ISSAN 350Z FOR ALMOST 1 YEAR AND IN THAT TIME I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR THAT NISSAN DENIED UNTIL PRESSED. THE TIRE FEATHERING PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN BUT HAD BEEN DENIED KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM WHEN SPEAKING TO NISSAN. THE RADIO IN THE CAR IS ALSO A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WHICH THEY ALSO DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF. THEY REPLACED THE FRONT TIRES BUT MAMY PEOPLE HAVE STATED THIS PROBLEM WILL RETURN. I DESERVE A GUARANTEE THAT IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS THAT NISSAN WILL REPLACE THE TIRES AS NEEDED.*AK

SUSPENSION PROBLEM WITH 2003 NISSAN CAUSING TIRE CUPPING EVERY FEW THOUSAND MILES.*AK

TIRES CUPPING ON THE INNER EDGES. LOUD ROAR WHEN YOU BRAKE FROM ABOUT 30 MPH TO A COMPLETE STOP. I THINK IS A SUSPENSION PROBLEM BECAUSE THE 2004 CARS DON'T HAVE THE PROBLEM.*AK

I OWN A 2003 NISSAN 350Z, ENTHUSIAST MODEL. IT IS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD WITH 7500 MILES, AND THE FRONT TIRES (AND TO A LESSER DEGREE, THE REARS AS WELL) HAVE BEGUN TO FEATHER. FEATHERING IS A TYPE OF UNEVEN TIRE WEAR THAT CAUSES VERY UNPLEASANT ROAD NOISE WHEN DRIVING AND ALSO SACRIFICES THE LIFE, PERFORMANCE, AND RELIABILITY OF THE TIRE. FEATHERING IS CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE SUSPENSION DESIGN -- IT IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH TIRE DESIGN. EXPERTS NOTE THAT FEATHERING WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE SUSPENSION EXHIBITS EXCESSIVE TOE-IN.NISSAN HAS RECEIVED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE FROM FELLOW MEMBERS OF A 350Z FORUM OF WHICH I AM A PART, BUT IT WILL NOT ISSUE A PERMANENT FIX FOR IT. (THEY HAVE ISSUED AN IMMEDIATE SHORT-TERM FIX, BUT THE PROBLEM RECURS IN 2,000-3,000 MILES AFTER THIS FIX. NO PERMANENT FIX IS AVAILABLE AND NISSAN IS JUST DELAYING THE PERMANENT REPAIRS UNTIL WARRANTY RUNS OUT WITH THIS TEMPORARY FIX.) IF YOU WILL, PLEASE LOOK AT MY350Z.COM AND SEARCH FOR "FEATHERING" AND YOU WILL SEE THAT A GOOD MAJORITY OF 2003 MODEL OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING FEATHERING PROBLEMS. MY CAR IS COMPLETELY TO FACTORY SPECIFICATION, AND AT THIS RATE OF TIRE WEAR, I AM AFRAID THE TIRES WILL HAVE TO REPLACED IN LESS THAN 1,000 MORE MILES. I AM WORRIED THAT FELLOW 350Z OWNERS THAT ARE UNAWARE OF THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM WILL BE RISKING THEIR LIVES, IF THEY EXPECT THE TIRES TO LAST 20,000 MILES (THE AVERAGE), BUT THEY REALIZE THAT AT 20,000 MILES THEY'VE BEEN RUNNING ON NOTHING BUT A BALD SET OF TIRES. NHTSA, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ACTION. TIRES ARE THE ONLY THINGS HOLDING THE CARS TO THE ROAD, AND THE TIRES ON THE 350Z ARE WEARING OUT AT UNBELIEVABLY FAST RATES. UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE WILL BE INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF, BUT WILL NOT BOTHER TO FIX. NISSAN MUST BE FORCED TO FIX THIS ISSUE, AS THEY HAVE SIMPLY BEEN IGNORING THIS.*AK

CURRENT 2003 350Z HAS A PROBLEM WITH TIRE FEATHERING/ TIRE CUPPING ON THE INSIDE TREAD OF THE TIRES. THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY TO MUCH TOW ON THE 2003 MODEL.*AK

FRONT TIRES ON MY VEHICLE ARE FEATHERING DUE TO SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. MANUFACTURER WILL NOT FIX THE MECHANICAL PROBLEM. IT IS A NISSAN 350Z 2003 UNDER WARRANTY WITH 7800 MILES. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS TIRE INSPECTIONS BY DIFFERENT TIRE MANUFACTURER'S, ALL POINT TOWARD SUSPENSION DEFECT. TRACTION IS LESS THEN 100%. NISSAN IS WILLING TO REPLACE TIRES BUT WILL NOT FIX THE ACTUAL PROBLEM CAUSED BY A SUSPENSION DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE. TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 6000-8000 MILES DUE TO EXTENSIVE WEAR. CAR PULLS TO RIGHT EXCESSIVELY. CAR IS LOUD WHEN DRIVING AND BRAKING. CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.*AK

TIRES FEATHERING, POSSIBLE SUSPENSION ISSUES 350Z.- DEALER PERFORMED ALIGNMENT AND ROTATED TIRES PER NISSAN TSB. TIRES STILL FEATERING. DEALER RECHECKED AND SAYS ALIGNMENT TO SPEC. NNA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUES BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, NOR CONTACT US BACK ON RESOLUTION. *AK

TIRE FEATHERING ON MY 2003 350Z AFTER 10,000 MILES. BROUGHT IN TO BE FIXED BY DEALERSHIP AT 13,000 MILES. STILL HAVE PROBLEM AND TRYING TO GET 2 NEW FRONT TIRES WITH LITTLE LUCK AT 18,000 MILES. INSIDE OF TIRES ARE FEATHERING AGAIN AND I'M THINK THIS WILL CAUSE A MAJOR LOSS OF TRACTION, ESPECIALLY IN RAINY CONDITIONS. *LA
