Okay, I have an '04 performance 350Z and it's having feathering problems at 14000 mile. This in itself isn't anything new. The problem is that I can't get the dealer (Connell Nissan of Oakland) to perform the TSB on my car without me shelling out for the bill for the tires and the alignment because they said the TSB is for '03 models only. I call Nissan Cosumer Affairs and they just tell me to try a different dealer. So i call this other dealer (San Leandro Nissan) and they tell me teh same thing as Connell. Right now, I'm about to call NCA again to see what to do next, but I'm sure they're not going to do much.

So, what should I do now? Should I just pay to have the alignment done and replace the tires, and hope that fixes the problem? I really don't want to pay $700+ to fix this **** that, according to Nissan, isn't even suppose to be problem (but it is).

 

I believe that there was a chunk of '04 models that were included in the TSB. Check the VIN's on that and see if you fall within it. If you do then you definitely have a case. Otherwise, I guess you would really have to go after Nissan and prove that their faulty construction is causing the problem.

 

The NCA agent said that my VIN doesn't fall into any recalls/bulletins so that's out of the question. This **** pisses me off.

 

That does suck man. I don't know, I guess you have to try and prove to them that it is faulty construction or pay for it...Good luck though!
