Brembo aluminum calipers were used with steel bolts causing the breaks to get himot & seize the steel bolt in the calipers. 1 out of 2 brake jobs end up costing thousands & hours of work to get the seized bolts out, I have had a caliper fall off going 65 & got caught in between my tire & rear wheel arc.

TEST DROVE THIS CAR AT TOYOTA OF ROCK HILL. SALES MANAGER DID NOT WANT ME TO TAKE IT ON THE INTERSTATE. I REFUSED TO BUY IT UNLESS I COULD TAKE IT THERE. WENT APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE. WITH FLOW OF TRAFFIC IN RIGHT LANE, BEING PASSED ON LEFT. NOT SPEEDING. CAR STARTED FISHTAILING. SLID SIDEWAYS TO THE RIGHT AND OFF ROAD. I WAS GOING STRAIGHT WHEN CAR MALFUNCTIONED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MORE PREVALENT ISSUE WITH THE 04 MODEL.

I HAVE HAD 3 RECENT NISSAN VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD SERIOUS MECHANICAL ISSUES, 1ST 2006 NISSAN MURANO (ONLY OWNER) 2ND 2004 NISSAN 350Z 3RD 2005 NISSAN 350Z WHICH EACH OF THESE VEHICLES ARE OVER $30,000 AND TOP MODELS OF MANUFACTURER. THE MURANO WHICH I HAD TO SELL JULY 2011 DUE TO BUYING A HOME AND COULD NOT DEAL WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT IT WAS HAVING ON A REGULAR BASIS....THE 2004 350Z I BOUGHT OFF A PRIVATE SELLER, IT LOOKED GOOD AND BOY WAS I WRONG THE STEREO, ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, SEATS, OVERHEATING, HORRIBLE ROAR FROM THE REAR END, TIRES, WINDOWS FAILING, NEED I SAY MORE!!!!! NOW TO THE CAR I AM CURRENTLY NOT USING DUE TO IT BEING IN THE SHOP FOR THE PAST 3+WEEKS, AND FINALLY HAVING TO DRIVE WITH THE TECH TO LET HIM WITNESS THE DEFECT AS I DROVE.....THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE HEADACHE TO GO THROUGH THIS WITH 3 NEW VEHICLES FROM 1 MANUFACTURER, AND THEM NOT ACCEPTING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THEY ADVISED THAT MY CLUTCH HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I DON'T THINK SO THE CAR HAS APPROX 74000 MILES I BOUGHT WITH 47198. IN MARCH 2011 AFTER NUMEROUS VISITS AND CALLS TO DEALERSHIP THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE MASTER AND SLAVE CYLINDER AT MY REQUEST BECAUSE I RESEARCHED TO FIND MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME COMPONENTS AND TROUBLES . I COULD GO ON BUT I AM JUST [XXX] SICK OF THIS CRAP FROM NISSAN AND I AM READY TO BLOW MY TOP!!!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
NHTSA complaint #10441927 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
WHILE MAKING A NORMAL LEFT TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION MY CAR BEGAN TO SPIN. AFTER A COMPLETE 360 DEGREE SPIN AND SMACK INTO A CURB, THERE WAS SLIGHT DAMAGE TO LEFT REAR EXTERIOR WHEEL WELL. THIS ALIGNMENT ISSUE AND PREMATURE TIRE WEAR PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED. SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING. UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS TO DO A COMPLETE 360 SPIN OUT IS RIDICULOUS. I AM LUCKY NO ONE SMACKED INTO ME AFTER I STOPPED. I HAVE HAD MY TIRES REPLACED TWICE ON THE RIGHT REAR AND ONCE ON THE LEFT REAR BECAUSE OF THE INNER TIRE WEAR. I HAVE HAD AN ALIGNMENT DONE ALSO. ALL THIS WAS PRIOR TO MY SPIN OUT. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THIS CAR. ANY ANSWERS, SOLUTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS? I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. ARE YOU EVEN DOING ANYTHING WITH THESE COMPLAINTS? FROM WHAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS WRITTEN, NO ONE HAS DONE A THING. THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR ANYTHING FOR THIS ISSUE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE WINDS UP GETTING HURT FROM THIS. OBVIOUSLY THE DEALERSHIP WONT DO A THING IT WILL BE WAY TOO COSTLY FOR THEM. BUT FOR MINE AND THE REST OF THE DRIVERS ON THE ROADS SAFETY, MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN. GIVE US A RECALL TO FIX THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. ITS BEEN ALMOST 6 YEARS AND STILL NO SOLUTION. COME ON GUYS, I KNOW YOUR BETTER THAN THAT. OUR SAFETY IS NOW IN YOUR HANDS.

ACTION NISSAN IN NASHVILLE, TN HAS REPLACED DAMAGED FRONT TIRES AT LEAST TWICE, AND I HAVE NOW REPLACED DAMAGED FRONT TIRES AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE EFFECT OF NISSAN'S ALIGNMENT/SUSPENSION PROBLEM IS NOT ISOLATED TO TIRE DAMAGE. ACTION NISSAN ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT MY VEHICLES' ALIGNMENT/SUSPENSION ISSUES, BUT MY CAR CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE ISSUES RELATED TO ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR AND A PULL TO THE RIGHT. NISSAN DID NOT OFFER A PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR THE ALIGNMENT/SUSPENSION PROBLEMS OF MY AUTOMOBILE, AND I CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE DAMAGE TO MY FRONT TIRES AND MISALIGNMENT/SUSPENSION EFFECTS. TO PROTECT ANY NEW TIRES ON MY VEHICLE, AND TO PERMANENTLY CORRECT NISSAN'S MANUFACTURER DEFECT ON MY VEHICLE, I HAD REPAIRS PERFORMED WITH 3RD PARTY PARTS, AN EIBACH FRONT ALIGNMENT KIT. THE ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION OF THE FRONT FACTORY 350Z DOES NOT ALLOW FOR SUCH ADJUSTMENTS, AND THE EIBACH KIT ALLOWS FOR COMMON FRONT ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENTS THAT CAN EASILY COMPENSATE FOR THE ALIGNMENT/SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. THE INSTALLED PARTS, ALONG WITH NEW TIRES, BALANCING, AND ALIGNMENT/SUSPENSION HAS TOTAL COST OF $1087.04. I AM INCLUDING DOCUMENTATION OF ALL ITEMIZED COSTS BELOW: TIRES'''''. $288.00 FRONT ALIGN KIT' $394.87 PARTS TOTAL''... $682.87 2X TIRE MOUNT'. $10.00 2X TIRE BALANCE... $30.00 ALIGN KIT INSTALL.. $270.00 FRONT ALIGNMENT.. $59.95 SUBTOTAL'''' $369.95 LABOR TAX@9.25% $34.22 LABOR TOTAL''. $404.17 GRAND TOTAL''. $1,087.04 THE PROPOSED NISSAN CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT COVERS ONLY A FRACTION OF THE COSTS TO PERMANENTLY CORRECT THE ALIGNMENT/SUSPENSION PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY COUNTLESS NISSAN 350Z OWNERS. MY OBJECTION IS THAT NISSAN SHOULD OFFER A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO CORRECT THE MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THE ALIGNMENT/SUSPENSION OF 2003/2004 350ZS, WHICH CAUSES TIRE DAMAGE AND OTHER MISALIGNMENT/SUSPENSION SIDE-EFFECTS RESULTING FROM THE INABILITY TO PROPERLY ALIGN SELECT 350Z VEHICLES. I DULY SWEAR TO ALL FACTS PRESENTED IN THIS DOCUMENT.

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW. AT 13K MILES, THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION WENT OUT AND THERE WAS A RATTLE IN THE REAREND. THE DEALER FIXED BOTH PROBLEMS. BUT NOW AT 26K MILES, THE ENGINE IS KNOCKING HARD AND IT TURNED OUT MY ENGINE IS BURNING OIL. BTW, THE RATTLE IN THE REAREND IS BACK AGAIN. I BOUGHT MY CAR FOR A TOTAL OF $32,000 AND I DON'T DESERVE TO MAKE A FEW TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS ALREADY WHEN I'VE ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR 3 YEARS WITH UNDER 30K MILES ONLY!

FRONT END MIS-ALIGNED AT FACTORY CAUSING SEVERE CUPPING OF FRONT TIRES AT 13,000 MILES. FRIEND HAD SAME PROBLEM. I HAD CAR INTO DEALER 2 WEEKS BEFORE. DEALER DID NOT SAY ANYTHING IN SPITE OF SAFETY CHECK. MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A BLOWOUT. AFTER I FOUND THE PROBLEM, DEALER ALIGNED FRONT END AND PRO-RATED REPLACEMENT TIRES. I WROTE A LETTER TO NISSAN. CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS NO RECALL PLANNED. VERY DANGEROUS.

SOMETIMES DRIVING, I HEAR LIGHT CRACKLING NOISE COMES AND GOES. FOR 9 MONTHS CHECKUP, I MENTIONED IT TO DEALER. HE SAID THEY TEST DROVE IT AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ON SAT EVENING, 8-25, THE FRONT RT SIDE OF RIM CRACKED & CAME OUT BOUNCING OFF FREEWAY! SCARY & DANGEROUS! WE JUST LET THE CAR SLIDE AND SCRAPE ON THREE WHEELS OFF THE NEXT EXIT. I HAD SPARE TIRE PUT ON & SLOWLY GOT THE CAR BACK HOME, IN SHOCK! MONDAY I HAD CAR TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER & THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO FIX MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE WHEELS. I DIDN'T KNOW WHY....BUT MANAGER THERE CALLED FOR MY PERMISSION TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO MY DEALER WITH ALL CHARGES PAID BY DEALER. I WAS DISAPPOINTED, DISRESPECTED, MISTREATED,& LIED TO. BOUGHT CAR IN GOOD FAITH & THEY LIED TO ME SOME MORE! I CALLED NIS MANUF CONSUMER AFFAIRS & FOUND OUT THAT THOSE RIMS WERE DIPPED CHROME! DEALER HAD NERVE TO GIVE ME SAME RIMS & TRY TO RETURN CAR BACK WITH DAMAGE BREAKING THE DISCS & LOWER ARM. ALSO REPAINTED THE SCRAPED BUMPER. HAVE PICS OF SLOPPY WORK WITH CAMERA PHONE. I EXPLAINED TO THEM I WANT IT FIXED BRAND NEW LIKE WHEN I FIRST DROVE OFF THAT LOT WITH IT AND I THOUGHT THEY UNDERSTOOD. I STILL NEED PRO TO THOROUGHLY INSPECT CAR. ALTHOUGH REPAIRS MADE, I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING CAR ANYMORE. I SAID FIX CAR LIKE WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT- BEFORE THE DEFECTIVE WHEEL CAME OFF WITH REAL RIMS. HE ORDERED & PLACED IT ON MY CAR. SAT NIGHT, DEALER CALLED TO PICK CAR UP. I ASKED FOR INVOICE AND PAPERS. THEY SAID COME BACK MON. ASKED THEM TO HAND WRITE THAT THE RIMS ARE STOCKED & EVERYTHING NEW LIKE WANTED SO I CAN DRIVE OFF FEELING SAFE. THEY SAID CAN'T. AGAIN I LEFT DISAPPOINTED. NOTICED HEADLIGHTS DIMMER THAN BEFORE & ONE SIDE HIGHER THAN THE OTHER. MON, TOLD SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT LIGHTS. RESPONSE, "WE'RE SUPPOSED TO JUST REPLACE WHEELS." DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE RIGHT WHEELS OR NOT. I NEED A NEW CAR .DEALER NOT CONCERNED WITH PUBLIC SAFETY, ONLY PROFITS. I HURT EMOTIONALLY & PHYSICALLY!

I HAVE AN 2004 350Z TOURING. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 16,,000 MILES ON IT. NOW, IT HAS 30000 MILES ON IT. IN THE 14000 MILE RANGE THE TIRES ON THE FRONT FEATHERED COMPLETELY DUE TO SEVER NEGATIVE CAMBER. TOOK VEHICLE TO VICTORY NISSAN OF RICHMOND SEVERAL TIMES, AND THEY ONLY ALIGNED THE CAR AND CHARGE ME FOR IT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON 6/20/2007 TO GO TO DEALER AND WILL DEMAND NEW TIRES AS THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

NHTSA complaint #10192581 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN 350Z WHICH I PURCHASED NEW FROM SELMA NISSAN IN JULY 2003. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD THE FRONT TIRES REPLACED BY THE DEALER THREE (3) TIMES, AVERAGING 17,000 TO 19,000 PER SET OF TIRES. EACH TIME THE DEALER HAS RE-ALIGNED THE FRONT END AND ASSURED ME THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. EACH TIME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS GONE IN FOR THIS PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES SEVERE FRONT TIRE NOISE AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKE, ESPECIALLY DURING LOW SPEED AND BRAKING. BOTH FRONT TIRES DISPLAY EXCESSIVE WEAR TO THE INNER EDGE OF THE TIRES RENDERING THEM UNSERVICEABLE. TO NISSANS CREDIT, THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE RE-ALIGNED THE FRONT END AND REPLACED THE LAST THREE SETS OF TIRES AT NO COST TO ME. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TODAY (01-12-2007) WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID THEY WILL CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER TO SEE IF REPLACEMENT WILL AGAIN BE AUTHORIZED. WHETHER OR NOT NISSAN COVERS THE REPLACEMENT ISN'T REALLY THE ISSUE. A MODERN VEHICLE THAT WEARS OUT FOUR SETS OF $600 TIRES AT UNDER 20,000 MILES EACH OBVIOUSLY HAS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL. NISSAN IS APPARENTLY UNABLE TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT, AND THE CAR IS NOT ONLY UNSAFE, BUT HAS A VERY LOW RESALE VALUE.

UNEVEN TIRE WEAR IN FRONT, LEADING TO REPEATED UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS UNNOTICED BY DRIVER BECAUSE IT IS INSIDE FRONT TIRES. NISSAN ADMITTED PROBLEM, PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM AND NOW WILL NO LONGER RETURN MY CALLS.

FAX FROM (MD) RE THE PROBLEMS HE HAS EXPERIENCED WITH HIS DEFECTIVE 2003 NISSAN TOURING MODEL 350 Z. *TS THE CONSUMER STATED HE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER/TSB REGARDING PREMATURE TIRE WEAR AND A ROARING NOISE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES. THE CONSUMER TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT HE COULD HEAR THE NOISE. THE CONSUMER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE HIMSELF AND COULD CLEARLY SEE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE TIRES WERE WEARING ON THE INSIDE TOE. THE DEALER AGREED TO REPLACED THE TIRES, HOWEVER THEY HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED. HOWEVER, ONE MONTH LATER WITHIN 3,000 MILES THE CONSUMER HAD TO RETURN TO THE DEALER FOR UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. DURING THE TIRE REPLACEMENT FOR THE SECOND TIME, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A REAR STRUT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A BUY BACK OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FAULTY SUSPENSION SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 5/05 WITH 15,000 MILES. TIRES APPEARED NEW WHEN PURCHASED. CAR IS ONLY DRIVEN IN THE WINTER, I HAD THE "ROARING" NOISE AND VEHICLE SHAKING EFFECT ROUGHLY 5 MONTHS LATER. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS FOR ALMOST $400. I DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL A RELATIVE DROVE THE CAR IN THE SPRING OF 06 AND THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY BECAUSE I WAS APPARENTLY IGNORING THE ROAR AND SHAKE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEED UNDER 40 MPH. I REPLACED THE REAR TIRES AT THE SUGGESTION OF MY LOCAL GARAGE FOR OVER $500 YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE THE FRONT TIRES FOR ANOTHER $500 OR SO AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 32000 MILES. I HAVE READ THE NUMEROUS (HUNDREDS) COMPLAINTS WRITTEN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS. WHY SHOULD NISSAN'S SHODDY ENGINEERING BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX?

350Z TOURING MODEL PRE-MATURE TIRE WEAR. I ORDERED MY CAR ON 01/2003 AND TOOK DELIVERY ON 04/2006. AT WHICH TIME I DISCOVERING THAT NISSAN HAD PUT OUT ITS 1ST TSB BULLETIN DATED 01/23/2003. REFERENCE # NTB03-006. I HAVE 15,434 MILES ON MY CAR. I DRIVE IT VERY LITTLE AND THEREFORE, JUST STARTING TO EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEMS THAT I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER AT LEAST THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME RECALL AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE FRONT. THE LASTEST RECALL NOTICE WAS DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST 2005. AGAIN I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG THAT APPLIED TO THE RECALL NOTICE WHICH INVOLVED THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME AGAIN THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. I DECIDED TO GET UP UNDER MY CAR AND DO MY OWN INSPECTION. WHAT I DISCOVERED WAS UNBELIEVABLE, MY TIERS WERE WEARING ON THE INNER TOE TO THE POINT THEY WERE ALMOST BALD AT 12,500 MILES. I RETURNED TO THE SERVICE REP. AND POINTED THIS OUT, HE IMMEDIATELY CHANGED HIS MIND AND ORDERED ME NEW TIRES AT NISSAN EXPENSE. AT 15,434 THE TIRES HAD BEGUN TO WEAR IN THE SAME MANNER. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHO WANTED ME TO PAY FOR AN ALIGNMENT. I REFUSE TO PUT ANOTHER DIME IN THIS CAR. HE SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT NISSAN. I DID AND NOW NISSAN WILL NOT FIX MY CAR UNTIL I GET A RELEASE FROM ONE OF THOSE LEMON LAW ATTORNEYS THAT I HAD CONTACTED OUT OF DESPERATION. THAT'S ANOTHER STORY AND NOW I'M FIGHTING THEM TOO. I TOLD THE LAWYERS THAT I WANTED MY CAR REPLACED BUT LET THEM PERSUADE ME INTO A 4,500 MONETARY VERBAL AGREEMENT. WHEN I RECEIVED THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT FROM NISSAN I REFUSED TO SIGN IT AND RETURN IT TO THE LAWYER FOR PAYMENT. THE LAW FIRM CONTACTED ME AND INFORMED ME THAT A VERBAL AGREEMENT IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND IS THE SAME AS A BINDING CONTRACT. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF WRITING LETTERS TO ATTORNEY GENERAL, FEDERAL TRADE, BBB NISSAN AND THOSE SO CALLED LAWYERS WHO CLAIM TO REPRESENT US.

FRONT SUSPENSION, I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN 350Z AND WHEN DRIVING THERE IS A LOUD RUMBLE. I PULLED THE FRONT TIRES AND FOUND THAT BOTH TIRES HAVE WEAR ON THE INSIDE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS.
NHTSA complaint #10166819 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN 350Z WHICH HAS HAD REPEATED "FEATHERING" OF THE FRONT TIRES. I HAVE RESPONDED TO THE APRIL 2004 TBA NOW THREE (3) TIMES. THE FIRST TWO TIMES, NISSAN CLAIMED TO HAVE RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE FRONT TIRES. THE LAST TIME (WHICH WAS LESS THAN 5000 MILES AGO), NISSAN AGAIN CLAIMED TO HAVE ALIGNED THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS NOW RETURNED. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC DATE FOR THIS INCIDENT SINCE, EVIDENTLY, IT IS OCCURRING CONTINUOUSLY.
