ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
DRIVING MY CAR TO MY BROTHER'S HOUSE TO BABYSIT MY NIECE, NO ISSUES OR WARNINGS. GO BACK TO MY CAR TO LEAVE AND MY CAR WILL NOT START. TRIED CHANGING THE BATTERY AND REPROGRAMMING MY KEY, HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I NEED TO SPEND $1100 FOR NISSAN TO ORDER A PART WHICH HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO LOCK/STALL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT, INSTEAD NISSAN ARE LEAVING CUSTOMERS STRANDED ONLY TO PAY AN INSANE AMOUNT OF MONEY.

ENGINE
LAST SATURDAY, TOOK THE COVER OFF AND WAS GOING TO THE CAR WASH TO SHINE HER UP REAL GOOD. ON THE WAY AFTER STOPPING AT A LIGHT I PULLED OFF THEN WENT TO 2ND GEAR, THEN TO THIRD AND THAT WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE CLUTCH WENT TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT COME BACK UP. I'M GOING DOWN THE STREET NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO NEXT BECAUSE THERE IS A STOP SIGN BUT I'M AFRAID TO STOP BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN, A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AT THE STOP SIGN SO I TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND CONTINUED THROUGH, I'M SURE THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY AND I'M VERY HAPPY THERE WERE NO POLICE AROUND. I MADE A LEFT ON THE EMPTIEST STREET I COULD FIND AND PULLED OVER AND CALLED MY SON TO PICK ME UP AND HELP ME PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE STREET. NOW MIND YOU I NEVER RACED OR DROVE THE CAR HARD AT ALL AND WITHIN THE 10 OR SO MONTHS I'VE OWED IT ONLY PUT 5000 MILES ON IT. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT NISSAN WOULD PUT SUCH A DANGEROUS CAR, LET ALONE A SPORTS CAR ON THE ROAD, I JUST KEPT THINKING WHAT IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO NISSAN OF MCKINNEY WERE THEY ADD INSULT TO INJURY TELLING ME MY Z WITH ONLY 18000 MILES ON IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT WOULD COST ME OVER $1000 TO REPAIR. OF COURSE I DID SOME RESEARCH ON WWW.THE370Z.COM AND OTHER WEBSITES, FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHICH AFTERMARKET PARTS CAN FIX BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO, ARE YOU GUYS WAITING ON SOMEONE TO BE KILLED BEFORE YOU TAKE ACTION, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE AND CERTAINLY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY OVER $1000 TO REPAIR IT WITH ONLY 18000 MILES!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STEERING LOCK CONTROL MODULE - VEHICLE STARTED IN THE MORNING AND WAS FINE DRIVING TO WORK, AFTER I GOT OFF MY VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START AND DID NOT RECOGNIZE MY KEY. TOWED IT TO NISSAN AND WAS INFORMED MY STEERING LOCK CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL UNDER IT. NISSAN NEEDS TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF EXTENSION FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. MILEAGE IS AT 33,548.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE EXTENSIVE FOGGING ON THE LENS AND THE HEADLIGHT BALLAST OVER HEATS AND SHUTS OFF THE HEADLIGHT. THE REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE BALLAST--IF YOU DO NOT, IT CREATES EXTRA STRESS ON THE HEADLIGHT AND COULD END UP BEING WELL OVER A $1000.00 REPAIR--DEALER QUOTED $795.00 TO REPLACE BALLAST--THIS IS A COMPLAINT OF MANY OWNERS-

HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I'M NOW FINDING OUT THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ITEM OR NOT COVERED ON WARRANTY. IT SEEMS THAT MANY OTHER NISSAN OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN REFUSES TO PAY AND IT'S A $1,000 REPAIR

STEERING
NISSAN HAS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK UNIT (ESLU) ON SEVERAL MODELS, BUT SPECIFICALLY THE 2009 - 2011 370Z MODELS. THE ESLU IS TOUTED BY NISSAN AS A SECURITY FEATURE;HOWEVER, WHEN IT FAILS, YOU CANNOT START THE CAR. THAT MAKES THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. I PARKED MY CAR OVER THE WEEKEND AND THEN IT WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. NISSAN CLAIMS THE LATEST REVISION OF THE PART, 48700-JF00D, FIXES THE FAILURE, BUT THAT EXACT PART FAILED ON MY 2011 NISSAN 370Z. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET (MY YEAR MODEL AND VIN WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL) TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
VEHICLE HAS KEYLESS SYSTEM, THE ONLY KEY SLOT AVAILABLE IS IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. WHEN I ENTER THE VEHICLE, NORMALLY A LIGHT COMES ON TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SYSTEM RECOGNIZES YOU. ON ENTERING THIS TIME, A SMALL SYMBOL WITH THE WORD KEY ON IT ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START OR GO INTO THE ACCESSORY POSITION, NOR WOULD THE STEERING COLUMN UNLOCK. ALSO, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THE KEY SYMBOL INDICATES A MALFUNCTION IN THE INTELLIKEY SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE ELECTRIC STEERING LOCK HAD FAILED. THE COST OF REPAIR WAS NEAR $1200.00 AND I WAS INFORMED THAT, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS STILL WITHIN WARRANTY FOR 40,000 MILES OR FOR OVER A YEAR, NISSAN WAS REFUSING TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY COVERAGE. IT SEEMS THIS IS AN ALMOST INEVITABLE FAILURE ON ANY NISSAN OR INFINITI EQUIPPED WITH THIS SYSTEM. I WAS LUCKY THAT IT FAILED IN A SUPER MARKET PARKING LOT NEAR HOME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I HAVE A 2010 370Z WITH ONLY 20,000 MILES. I HAVE TO SAY WE ALL (FAMILY) WERE VERY HAPPY WITH IT TILL TODAY. MY WIFE ALWAYS KEPT IT INSIDE OUR GARAGE, ALL SERVICES UP TO DATE. EARLY IN THE MORNING SHE TRIED TO START IT BUT STEERING WHEEL LOCK CAME UP, WE TRIED EVERYTHING, CHECKED KEY FAB BATTERY AND NOTHING. FINALLY WE HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE THERE WE WERE TOLD BY OUR SERVICE ADVISOR THAT IT'S A VERY COMMON FAILURE ON 370Z AS A FACT HE SHOWED US 3 OTHERS YES!! 3 MORE VEHICLES WITH SAME ISSUE HE ALSO TOLD US THAT THERE'S A RECALL ON THE SAME PROBLEM ON AN ALTIMA AND MAXIMA BUT NO THE 370Z WHY? HE KNEW RIGHT AWAY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND EVEN TOLD US RIGHT AWAY "THIS IS GOING TO COST AT LEAST 1200 BECAUSE THAT PART IS AROUND 1000 REALLY!! NISSAN THANK YOU!! WHAT A JOKE FOR AN ALMOST 50,000 DOLLAR CAR.

AIR BAGS
THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYED ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THE SEAT CUSHION HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS THE AIR BAG SENSOR THAT WAS FAULTY. IT COST ME OVER $2100 DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET. THAT WAS AFTER NISSAN CORP. AGREED TO PAY $500 TOWARDS THE COST. I MIGHT ADD THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS STILL IN LIKE NEW CONDITION.
