2003 Nissan 350Z Electrical system Problems

“My 2003 Nissan 350Z was exhibiting the exact symptoms of a nhsta recall number 03v455000 ( Nissan number r2202) recall. I contacted Nissan dealers and Nissan consumer affairs with my VIN and was told it didn't fall under the recall. I then took my vehicle to the Nissan dealer service department to have it diagnosed and the dealer concluded that both (2) cam position sensors and the crank position sensor, were failing and needed to be replaced at a cost to me of 378.86 which I paid and have had the vehicle back only a few days (<100 miles) but so far seems to have resolved the issue. …”

“In 2005, I bought a 2003 Nissan 350Z. In early november of 2011, I started having these problems. The engine would die suddenly while driving, the check engine and tcs lights would come on, and the car would run very rough once it did decide to start. I took the car into a Nissan service center on 11/08/2011. The mileage according to the service invoice was 83,906. Along with the problems noted above, the service technician added diag p0340 and c1130 stored, loss of engine signal. Replaced camshaft and crankshaft sensors. My cost for the repair: $618.61. …”

“I own a 350Z bought brand new in 2003. I was one of the 1st in baltimore for I did not see another z for six months. I have had a new transmission put in at 36k due to a failing 3rd gear synco and now at 80k the 5th. I am about to put in my 5th window motor in. Nissan does not care about us so don't even waste your time with 1800nissan1. They should feel privileged that we allow japanese to sell cars here in the us and should be penalized when they fail. I will never ever buy a Nissan again and I go as far as getting my Nissan's oil changed at toyota so I do not promote Nissan any further. …”

“This is the second time this incident happens to this car. 1st time 9/23/04 driving along and engine stopped running, it would start but ran rough and would stop running again and again. Had it towed to gwinnett place Nissan in duluth ga (the closet dealership to my home)- they couldn't find anything wrong with my car - so I was stuck with wrecker fee. 2nd time-- 8/16/05 had to slow down due to traffic, and when I shifted into 3rd gear to speed up again engine stopped running. I shifted into neutral and started it again, once placed into gear it stopped running. …”

Vehicle rendered non-drivable due to inability to monitor engine oil pressure. 3 gauge clusters have been replaced, 1 unified meter computer, 1 fuel pump/level sensor assembly. Problem continually re-occurs.”
