2004 NISSAN 350Z Complaints

CAR BEGAN SHIFTING FUNNY, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE CLUTCH AND FLY WHEEL WERE BAD. CAR ONLY HAS 10000 MILES ON IT AND OWNED LESS THAN A YEAR. CLUTCH AND FLY WHEEL REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE, AFTER MANY ARGUMENTS WITH NISSAN. *NM

2004 NISSAN 350Z DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUTCH.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***. *MR TWO INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION EXPERTS STATED IT WAS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT A BURNED CLUTCH AND GROOVED FLYWHEEL WAS DUE TO OWNER ABUSE AS THE DEALER HAD STATED. WHEN THE CONSUMER RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK IT HAD A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FEEL, THE CLUTCH WAS MUCH EASIER TO PUSH THAN BEFORE AND THE CLUTCH ENGAGED MORE QUICKLY. THE OWNER OF THE TRANSMISSION SHOP DROVE THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE BEFORE AND AFTER, AND HE ALSO STATED THE CHANGE WAS PROBABLY DUE TO THE ADJUSTMENT OR REPLACEMENT OF THE HYDRAULIC MECHANISM ON THE CLUTCH. *JB

2004 NISSAN 350Z TIRES IN FRONT ON INSIDE CUPPING. DEALER TOLD ME THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX, WANTS ME TO BUY NEW TIRES. I HAVE CONTACTED EVERYONE AT NISSAN WITH NO HELP. PLAN TO PARK CAR AT DEALER WITH SIGN "DON'T BUT A NISSAN ASK ME WHY" WITH MY MANE AND PHONE NUMBER. *NM

THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM DOOR STICKS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 OR 6 TIMES. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE DOOR, THE MOTOR AND THE ENTIRE UNIT AND IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. *NM

SEVERE TIRE NOISE/CUPPING FROM FRONT TIRES. THERE IS FEATHERING ALSO. THE FRONT TIRES STARTED MAKING NOISE AROUND 13,000 MILES. THERE IS NOW 20,000 AND IS ALMOST UNDRIVEABLE BECAUSE OF THE NOISE. THE NOISE HAPPENS LOUDEST WHEN THE CAR IS BRAKING.

DT: CONTACT STATES FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS THE FRONT END BECAME VERY LOUD. IT HAS A ROARING NOISE IN THE FRONT TIRE AREA. HE TALKED TO THE DEALER, AND THEY TOLD HIM THE FRONT END NEEDED TO BE ALIGNED, AND HE NEEDED 2 NEW FRONT TIRES BECAUSE THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE WAS WORN OUT. THERE WERE 11, 961 MILES ON THE TWO FRONT TIRES. CONTACT FOUND A TSB ON 4-04 ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HE DID NOT CONSULT THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE CONSUMER ANY IDEA WHY HE WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT WAS A 2004 350Z CONVERTIBLE NISSAN.*AK

I HAVE BEEN HEARING THIS RATTLE FOR A WHILE ALREADY AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY IS NORMAL I DON'T THINK THIS IS TRUE. I HAVE A 350Z NISSAN I FIRST BOUGHT IT, IT DIDN'T DO THIS NOISE. THE THING THAT WORRIES ME ABOUT THIS IS THAT IT IS A LOT LOUDER. I FIND THAT WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF YOU CAN HEAR THE RATTLE LOUDER AND CLEARER. IT LOOK TO ME THAT IS THE THROW-OUT BEARING BUT I DONT THINK THEY EANT TO DO THE JOB AND THE CAR STILL UNDER WARRANTY I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I ALREADY CALL NISSAN BUT THEY DONT DO ANYTHING.

IN APRIL 2005 I PURCHASED A NISSAN 350ZX FROM DAVID MCDAVID NISSAN IN HOUSTON TEXAS. I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THE FACT THAT THE PRE OWNED VEHICLE I PURCHASE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN IN A WRECK. I WOULDN'T OF KNOWN OF THIS SITUATION. I NOT TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE DURING MEMORIAL WEEKEND, REASON BEING THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS MAKING POP NOISE IT SEEMS IT COMES FROM MOTOR MOUNTS OR JOINTS, CRACKING NOISE IN THE REAR RIGHT TIRE AND THE BACK RIGHT BRAKE ALSO SQUEAKS. HAD DAN ALDRICH OF THE YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT NOT MENTION THE CAR WAS IN A WRECK I WOULD OF NEVER KNOWN. I TOLD HIM HOW COULD THAT BE IF I JUST PURCHASE THE CAR BACK IN APRIL. I COULD NOT BELIEVE DAVID MCDAVID COULD SELL PRE OWNED VEHICLE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. I HAVE SENT THE DEALER CUSTOMER SERVICE EMAIL WITH NO REPLY

NISSAN 350Z HAS A PROBLEM THAT LEADS TO PREMATURE WEAR ON TIRES. I HAVE A 2004 350Z AND IT IS EXHIBITING SAME FAILURE AS 2003. TIRES ARE MAKING A NOISE THAT HAS TO LEAD TO ULTIMATELY A COMPROMISE OF THE TIRE INTERGRITY. NISSAN ANSWER SO FAR , SPEND $700 EVERY 6 MONTHS, BY CHANGING TIRES AND REALIGN ALL WHEELS....AT MY EXPENSE!!! THIS IS A CONSUMER PRODUCT FAILURE , POTENTIALY A SAFETY PROBLEM, AND NISSAN IS NOT APPROPRIATELY ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN 2003 350Z AND ALL I CAN SAY , SAME PROBLEM IN THE 2004 MODEL YEAR CAR. NEED HELP ..NISSAN IS NOT PROVIDING A SOLUTION>

2004 350Z HAS 11600 MILES AND TIRE ROAR HAS BECOME VERY LOUD. ROAR BEGAN NEAR 10,000 MILES AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES BALANCED AT 10,000 MILES IN HOPES OF EASING THE SITUATION - NO RELIEF. NOTIFIED BY DISCOUNT TIRE MECHANIC THAT THE INSIDE EDGES OF THE FRONT TIRES WERE SHOWING CONSIDERABLE WEAR. CALLED LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND TALKED WITH MAINTENANCE & SERVICE DEPT. WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY $90 + TAX FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND $28 + TAX TO FLIP THE FRONT TIRES. ALSO NOTIFIED THAT I WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO REPEAT THIS EVERY 10,000 MILES AND BUY NEW TIRES EVERY 20,000 MILES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR FLAW WITH THE 2004 350Z AND HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED FROM THE 2003 MODEL.
