I just want to announce that I got a fat check from Nissan today and saying good bye to my tire problems with my 03 Z. I got a lemon Lawyer and he helped me and got Nissan to buy my car back (purchased price minus miles). Until I know for sure they fixed the problem I'm not purchasing another Z.

 

I’m sure that this action against NISSAN was a big headache. Glad to hear that it worked out to your satisfaction.

 

Wow-sorry you had to go through it, hope you get back in a Z again...

 

good luck dude... hope you buy another Z soon! Maybe an 05 or 06?

 

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. Don't give up on the Z.

 

ya, the car may have some flaws but i luv her

 

get 06

 

who was the lemon lawyer?

 

i think 05 and after doesnt have the problem anymore

 

I used Krohn & Moss. My florida lawyer is Alex Weisburg. It took 4 months for the process. It wasn't bad. I submit my papers and wait. I didn't pay him anything. Nissan paid me and paid my lawyer as well.

Do you guys know for sure the 05 or 06 do not have the same problem? It's too new to tell. My tires feather every 10k miles.

 

well with the 03 being the guinea pig and all, doesnt surprise me that there were problems... but i have an 06 and NO huge problems....

 

its like that with all car models.. not just Nissan 350Z , I mean ALL!!!!!
every first year car has some bug or problems they just can seem to fix.
only after 2-3 year later. they come out with ?PERFECT? enough cars

i have 05 with 15000 with no tire/ feathering issues.
this is why i traded my 03 only after 9 months of ownership. jumped into different car
then went back to 05 Z because i knew they would fix all the problem by then

 

^^ i learned that the hard way with my 01 civic

 

there is no such thing as a perfect car....i don't care how much money you pay for a car. Just that some cars has fewer problems than others and that some cars have major issues and some cars have minor issues.

 

congrats on your win....gl on you're next car.......go for the g35 c

 

nice to know that the lemon law actually works...i used to think that it only applied to safety issues.

 

I've got 30K+ on my 03 and I've never had a feathering problem.

 

+1. I put 13.5k miles on my RE040's and no issues. I wore out the rears before the fronts. I'm actually selling the fronts because they are still in very good shape. Probably another easy 5k miles.

 

Congrats. Hopefully the car will find its way into someone's hands who can appreciate it and take the time and effort to fix the toe issue (it's not hard).

For the record, I haven't had any issues with feathering - 2003 track 35k mi.

 

We have had an '03, '05 and now '06, and no feathering on any of them.
