ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ISSUE WITH CAM SHAFT SENSOR FAILURE. REPLACED BANK 2 AND NOW BANK 1. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ACCORDING TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING. THIS WAS PART OF A RECALL FOR 2003 MODELS, BUT NOT FOR 2006 MODELS. CAR HAS 121,000 MILES AND RUNS SMOOTH, EXCEPT FOR THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR FAILURES. IT IS BECOMING DANGEROUS, BECAUSE IT IS KILLING THE ENGINE WHEN IT TRIPS AND HAVING THAT HAPPEN AT 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE IS A CONCERN FOR INJURY.

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED MY 08 350Z GRAND TOURING OCTOBER 5, 2015 FROM HOY FOX TOYOTA IN EL PASO TX. 3 DAYS LATER IT LEFT ME STRANDED. THE CLUTCH STAYED TO THE FLOOR AND IT WOULDN'T GEAR. THEY SOLD IT TO ME SAYING IT HAD A NEW CLUTCH SO I DECIDED AFTER TEST DRIVING IT TO TAKE IT. I HAD TO WAIT 30 DAYS FOR MY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY TO KICK IN SO I CAN MAKE A CLAIM. INITIALLY IT WAS THE MASTER CYLINDER WHICH WAS COVERED. HOWEVER, THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. LATER THEY SAID I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW CLUTCH KIT FOR AROUND 2800. OF COURSE I DON'T HAVE THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY. I PURCHASED AND EXEDY AFTERMARKET CLUTCH , FLYWHEEL AND PRESSURE PLATE AS THEY TOLD ME TO DO. TOOK IT HOME NOVEMBER 15 AND IT WORKED FINE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. IT THEN BEGAN TO LEAK CLUTCH FLUID AND CLUTCH FELT SOFT. I WENT BACK AND THEY KEPT TELLING ME TO GO TO NISSAN. I PAID FOR A DIAGNOSIS AT VIVA NISSAN IN EL PASO TX AND THE CONCENTRIC SLAVE CYLINDER WAS THE ISSUE. I HAD TO GO BACK AND FORTH AND TRY TO GET THE HELP TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I BOUGHT A SLAVE CYLINDER ONLINE BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD THAT PART UNDER WARRANTY. I TRIED TALKING TO THEM AT DEALERSHIP BUT NO HELP UNTIL I MADE A BAD REVIEW. THEY TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY SAID NO WORRIES WE WILL FIX IT. THEY REPLACED THE SLAVE CYLINDER AND IN 3 DAYS ONCE AGAIN IT FAILED. PLASTIC NISSAN PARTS ARE NO GOOD. THEY GET DAMAGED EASILY AND EVEN NEW CARS WITH LESS THAN 5000 MILES NEED IT ALL REPLACED. THE ONLY SOLUTION WE ALL MIGHT HAVE IS A HEAVY DUTY SLAVE CYLINDER FROM ZSPEEDSPORTS AND ITS EXPENSIVE. I'VE BEEN READING SO MANY CASES AND WE ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. IT'S RIDICULOUS WHAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND FOR NISSAN NOT TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY . I HAVE NO CAR AND ITS AT DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER 23013379. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE REPLACED AND FIXED. TOO MANY CASES AND NO HELP FROM DEALERSHIP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I'VE EXPERIENCED RECENTLY THAT I CAN'T SEEM TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK FULL. THE GAS PUMP JUST STOPS PUMPING FUEL AFTER 5 OR 6 GALLONS, AND THERE'S GAS SPILLAGE ALL OVER THE GAS INLET PIPE. IT'S ANNOYING AND IT'S HAPPENING EVERY TIME I FILL UP. VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF WHILE FILLING UP. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO I STARTED TO HAVE A FLASHING AIR BAG LIGHT ON FOR NO REASON. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY USUALLY WHEN I JUST START THE CAR UP. AS WITH MOST OWNERS IN THE NORTH I DON'T DRIVE IT IN THE WINTER SO I PUT ON AROUND 35K SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I SEARCHED THE WEB TO SEE IF ANYONE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SURE WERE. I TRIED THE RESET PROCEDURE FOUND ONLINE AND IT WORKED FOR AWHILE. NOW IT COMES ON MORE OFTEN AND I JUST TRY TO RESET IT AGAIN. IT DIDN'T TAKE MUCH SEARCHING TO FIND OUT THAT NISSAN IS CHARGING OWNERS (MY YEAR) $600-3,000 TO REPAIR AND THE PROBLEM CAME BACK FOR SOME AGAIN. SOME EVEN REPORTED HAVING AN ACCIDENT AND THE BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE NOT HAD IT TO A DEALER SIMPLY BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE SEATS SOME HAVE HAD TO.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH RECENTLY STARTED FLASHING IN THIS VEHICLE WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AND THEY SAID THE LEFT SIDE AIRBAG MODULE WAS FAULTY AND THAT BOTH IT AND THE SUB-HARNESS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THIS SAME PART WAS RECALLED ON MY OWN CAR, A 2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE, ALSO A NISSAN PRODUCT. I CONTACTED NISSAN'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT. TO SEE IF THEY COULD OFFER SOME ASSISTANCE IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THE DEALER QUOTED 723$ TO GET IT REPAIRED. NISSAN WOULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS BEYOND ANY WARRANTIES... TRUE THE CAR IS NOW 13 YEARS OLD, BUT IT HAS BEEN PRETTY MUCH A GARAGED ITS ENTIRE LIFE AND HAS ONLY ABOUT 28,000 MILES. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THESE PARTS TO GO BAD OTHER THAN BEING DEFECTIVE... CONSIDERING HOW CRUCIAL THESE PARTS ARE FOR PASSENGER SAFETY, HOW COMMON THIS ISSUE IS, AND THE 350Z'S NOT SO STELLAR REPUTATION FOR SAFETY, ONE WOULD THINK A RECALL WOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED ALREADY.
