“My 2004 roadster has been making brake noise after the first 1000 miles,the tip tronic shifter does not down shift all the time and the dealer insists this is normal and refuses to even investigate the problems. I also heard about a class action suit against Nissan for faulty suspension and brakes, is this true?”
NHTSA complaint #10086759, filed 2004-08, 1,000 miles“I've had my car over a year without any problem. I replaced the rear tires five weeks ago (not the fronts, which tread depth was fine), with the same size tires as the stock rubber. In the past two weeks the front brakes started locking and releasing, locking and releasing, but it's only been on freeway ramps, on an incline or decline, and in a curve. It makes what I describe as a groaning sound, which I associate with the brake pads clamping down, causing a reverberation in the whole assembly. The slip light in the dash comes on when it occurs. …”
NHTSA complaint #10157187, filed 2006-05, 10,400 miles“The contact owns a 2004 Nissan 350Z. While driving 60 MPH, the brakes failed when they were applied. The contact lost control of the vehicle and a near crash was avoided. The vehicle sustained minor damages. The brake line was covered with rust.
