ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LED IN MY GTR CLUSTER ARE NO LONGER WORKING, THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND ARE NOT REPLACEABLE = NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE CLUSTER DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. SAFETY IS EVERYTHING, NISSAN NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY BEHIND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE CLUSTER WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE REPAIR SHOULD BE SIMPLE AND REPAIRABLE BUT IN THIS CASE IT IS NOT.

ENGINE
AS I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45MPH THE LOW OIL PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT TURNED ON AND THEN TURNED OFF. THE NEXT DAY I THOUGHT IT WAS GONE BUT THEN IT TURNED BACK ON AND THIS TIME THE SENSOR LIGHT DID NOT TURN OFF. AFTER THIS LIGHT WAS STILL ON I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO JO TECH (972) 494-2100. WHEN I TOOK IT TO JO TECH I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT JUST SOME SMALL SENSOR ISSUE BUT AN ENGINE PROBLEM. AFTER FINDING THIS OUT I TOWED IT OVER TO COURTESY NISSAN. AT NISSAN I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WARRANTY WAS NOT VALID AND I WOULD HAVE TO BE PAYING OUT OF POCKET.I ASKED FOR A QUOTE FROM THEM AND THEY WERE GIVING ME A PRICE OF $56,000 TO REPAIR. THIS QUOTE WAS OBVIOUSLY WAY TOO HIGH. I MADE THE DECISION TO GET IT OUT OF THERE AND OVER TO T1 RACE DEVELOPMENT (214) 607-9022. AS THEY OPENED THE ENGINE THEY DISCOVERED THE FOLLOWING, " WELL THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ODD ONE. IT LOOKS LIKE A STOCK TENSIONER/GUIDE FAILED AND ALLOWED THE CHAIN TO DIG INTO THE FRONT TIMING COVER WHICH THROUGH A TON OF METAL INTO THE OILING SYSTEM". I WAS TRYING TO ATTACH IMAGES/EVIDENCE THAT T1 SENT OVER TO ME TO SHOW THIS ENGINE PROBLEM WAS BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT BUT FILE WAS BIGGER THAN 5MB. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT BOTH SHOPS FOR THE FULL REPORT AND TO GET THE REST OF THE IMAGES. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME DIRECTLY AS WELL.

SERVICE BRAKES
I NOTED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON MY DASH REGARDING A FAILURE TO THE ABS.I WENT TO THE DEALER WHO PULLED A CODE "C1111" FOR A FAILED HYDRAULIC CONTROL ASSEMBLY; A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. MY CAR HAS ONLY 19K MILES, AND IS LIGHTLY DRIVEN. ONLINE RESEARCH ON GT-R BLOGS, AND ELSEWHERE REVEAL THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON EARLY GT-RS, AFFECTING A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THEM AT LOW MILEAGE. I CONTACTED NISSAN'S GT-R REPORT LINE, AND THEY WERE OF NO HELP. I RECENTLY SAW A RECALL ON OTHER NISSAN PRODUCTS RELATED TO THEIR ABS SYSTEMS. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A SMALL NUMBER OF MANUFACTURED CARS, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICE, AND I BELIEVE NEEDS TO BE SCRUTINIZED CAREFULLY. THANK YOU.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'M WRITING THIS BECAUSE THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE CLUSTER LIGHT IS OUT ON MY 2009 GT-R, AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH NISSAN OF AMERICA/CANADA BUT LIKE MOST WITH THEIR LIGHTS OUT THE 'EXTENDED' WARRANTY EXPIRED BEFORE THE ISSUE OCCURRED. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THEIR GAUGE CLUSTER LIGHTS OUT. HTTP://WWW.GTRLIFE.COM/FORUMS/TOPIC/44110-OFFICIAL-NAGTROC-GAUGE-LIGHT-OUT-THREAD/PAGE-14 THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT NISSAN WILL NOT OWN UP TO OR ACKNOWLEDGE. NO VEHICLE WITH UNDER 15K SHOULD HAVE THESE KINDS OF ISSUES. NISSAN NEEDS TO STAND BY THEIR WORK AND RECALL THIS UNIT. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THE NHTSA HOTLINE BUT THEY WERE OF NO HELP. SEEMS NO ONE WANTS TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT ANYMORE, ONLY WHAT IS EASY. PLEASE DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND MAKE NISSAN RECALL THIS ISSUE SO OWNERS DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A FACTORY DEFECT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE CLUSTER ON A 2009-2010 GTR HAS A COMMON PROBLEM WHERE THE LEDS BEHIND THE FUEL GAUGE END OF BURNING OUT. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND OFFERED A FACTORY EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM 3 YEARS / 36K MILES TO 6 YEARS / UNLIMITED MILES. EVEN SO, FOR OWNERS LIKE MYSELF WITH A LOW MILEAGE CAR THAT HAVE PASSED THE TIME PERIOD BUT HAVE A BROKEN CLUSTER. IT'S A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE AND DUE TO THIS TECHNICALITY NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE THE CLUSTER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL LEAKS OUT OF THE EVAP CANISTER AND ONTO REAR PASSENGER WHEEL FENDER LINER UNDER HEAVY DRIVING AND CORNERING. THIS LEAKAGE IS ALSO THE SOURCE OF VERY STRONG FUEL FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE CAR. THE EVAP CANISTER IS LOCATED ~6" UPWIND OF THE EXHAUST AND HAS BEEN SEEN TO BE THE SOURCE OF FIRES! I ATTACH PHOTOS OF FUEL STAINING AROUND THE EVAP CANISTER ON MY CAR. I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN 2 NISSAN GT-RS CATCH FIRE DUE TO THIS SITUATION, & HAVE PHOTOS (NOT ATTACHED).

STEERING
I OWN A 2009 GTR AND I BELIEVE IT USES THE SAME STEERING LOCK AS ALTIMA. THE CAR ONLY HAS 36K MILES AND I ALSO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. CAR WONT START DUE OR THE STEERING LOCK FAILED TO DISENGAGE. I HAVE IT TOW TO MY HOUSE AND I DID SOME RESEARCH. FOUND OUT THAT 2009 TO 2010 HAS STEERING ISSUE. THIS IS A DEFINITELY SAFETY ISSUE. I ALSO FIND OUT THE IT REQUIRED A HAMMER TO START THE 100K GT-R. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW ON THE MODULE, PARTS MUST BE RECALL. STAND BEHIND YOU PRODUCT NISSAN. DON'T RUN AWAY.
