“My car for the last year will drive 5-7 miles and stall in regular traffic. We replaced the fuel pump. I finally have enough $ to take to Nissan. They came back with it needs all 2 cam shaft sensors and crank shaft sensor replaced. When I go on line and search my 2003 350Z touring edition recall, there was a recall for this problem as it appears the wires can break inside due to temp on solder joints. …”

“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. …”

“There is a defect in this vehicle that wont let you open the door and window on either, or both sides. Be it with the remote or even with the key from the outside, and leave you with no options to open from the inside as the latch refuse to move, I let you conjure the multitude of scenarios that would put your life in jeopardy, in an emergency situation where you have to exit the vehicle in a hurry, a death trap at any time. A brief search on the internet would show that many people have had this problem with different models of Nissan”

“Purchased four (4) michelin tires from america's tire depot and received warranty of 45,000 miles on wear. Have had a difficult time getting prorated amount having received less than 20k miles and chunking of tires as a result.. Difficulty resides in atd/michelin: not wanting to replace tires without me spending another $500-$700 to have them mounted, balanced etc due to their pro ration calculation factor. My original cost was $1000! Researching the tires I found that for a number of years this problem has been reoccurring. Since 2008 or earlier. …”

NHTSA complaint #11053650, filed 2017-12

“After buying a 2003 350 z Nissan, Nissan replaced the front tires twice due to bad alignment and tire wear and noise. Now, it appears, the same unusual war of the tires on the inside is back as is the deafening noise while driving. Why would an owner have to replace tires every 20,000 miles? This is a safety problem. I have just about stopped driving my car, parking it in the garage and taking the bus to work. I am afraid to drive on the interstate in fear of a blow out or accident. This car should be recalled. …”
