SUSPENSION, TIRES
I OWN A 2003 NISSAN 350Z. I PURCHASED THE CAR ON JULY 3RD, 2003. SINCE THAT PURCHASE, THE FRONT TIRES HAVE BEEN "FEATHERING" AND ALL NISSAN WILL DO IS PULL THE TIRES OFF AND ROTATE THE PROBLEM AREA TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE WHEEL. NOW THE INSIDE WILL START TO "FEATHER" THUS CREATING THE RIDE EVEN ROUGHER AND MORE UNSTABLE. NOT ONLY IS THIS CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR TO THE TIRES, BUT ONCE ROTATED, IT HAS INCREASED THE CHANCE FOR A BLOWOUT EVEN FURTHER. NISSAN CONTINUES TO DODGE MY REQUEST FOR A SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT, AS THIS IS APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM, BY SAYING THAT IT IS NOT THE SUSPENSION OR THE ALIGNMENT, BUT THE TIRES THEMSELVES (WHICH IS JUST NOT TRUE. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
SUSPENSION OF CAR CAUSES TIRES ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO WEAR UNEVENLY. TIRE TREAD FEATHERS AND A LOUD ROARING SOUND IS VERY NOTICABLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER BACK IN THE SPRING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT IT HAS NOW RETURNED.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT, TIRES
NISSAN 350 Z OWNERS HAVE A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH THE SUSPENSION OF THERE NEW CAR. NISSAN IS NOT REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE ADDRESSED THE ISSUE WITH A TSB. THIS REPAIR IS JUST ENOUGH TO GET THE OWNERS PASSED THERE 12,500 MILE WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT FOR CASTER OR CAMBER ON THE 350Z. THE CARS LEFT THE FACTORY WITH AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM, AND THERE IS REALLY NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. THIS HAS LEFT ALL 350Z OWNERS, REPLACING TIRES ALMOST EVERY 6 MONTHS. *AK

SUSPENSION ON MY 2003 NISSAN 350Z. THERE APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT IS CAUSING CUPPING ON THE FRONT TIRES.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
SUSPENSION DESIGN FLAW CREATES UNEVEN TIRE WEAR IN THE FRONT TIRES. TIRES WILL 'CUP' OR 'FEATHER' WITHIN THE FIRST 10,000 MILES OF DRIVING. MY CAR IN PARTICLAR RAN OUT OF TREAD ON THE INSIDE PATCH AT 13000 MILES. CHANGING TIRES IS NOT A CURE FOR THIS ISSUE AS IT REOCCURS DUE TO THE SUSPENSION. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FLAW AS IT MIGHT CAUSE VEHICLES TO LOSE TRACTION IN WET/SLIPPERY CONDITIONS.*AK

SUSPENSION
2003 NISSAN 350Z HAS CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH FRONT SUSPENSION WHICH CAUSES TIRE NOISE, IMPROPER TIRE WEAR, AND PREMATURE REPLACEMENT OF TIRES. NISSAN IS UNABLE TO ALIGN THE CAR OR FIX THE VEHICLE IN ANY WAY THAT AVOIDS THE PROBLEM LONG-TERM. REPLACING OR ROTATING TIRES DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, NEITHER DO ALIGNMENTS OR BALANCING. DEALER GIVES THE CUSTOMER DIFFICULTIES WHEN SERVICING THE SUSPENSION UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY, AND IS NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE WITH THE CONSUMER, SAFETY, OR CUSTOMER SERVICE IN MIND.*AK
