I love this car more than anything, don't get me wrong. But I haven't really had the best of luck lately.
I posted something before about the tire pressure light coming on and one of my sensors not working...Well when I went to the dealership they said
"Oh yeah it's because the temperature dropped, so you lost some air in your tires."
Well thanks so much, bud. BUT I ALREADY KNEW THAT.
I said "Yeahhh..but one of the sensors isn't working."
"Yes it is. It's just the temperature change."
"No man, I understand that. But one of the rear sensors is BROKEN."
This redundant conversation continues for a few more minutes until I finally just get so frustrated with him talking to me like a 7 year old that I left and decided to go somewhere else when I have more time to waste arguing with an idiot.

And today once I was done with my 4 hour class from getting my speeding ticket, I was in the 30 minute drive-thru at Zaxby's. I pulled the E-brake up so I could dig for change in my purse. When I did I heard this loud pop and the lever kind of jerked. I assumed the cable broke and went and parked on a hill. Sure enough, the car rolled even with the brake on. So now I need that fixed as well.

I know it's not really all that big of a deal, and the car is under warranty and whatnot. But there is nothing more frustrating than trips back to the dealership not even two months after you buy the car

 

Sorry to hear...seems like that Z needs a priest and some Holy water!

 

what year is the car?

 

It's brand new, 2006.

 

well, at least you are covered....

 

Damn you're just **** out of luck...try kissing someone maybe that can reverse your bad lucks to good lucks...

 

I hear ya with the being annoyed...i love my Z but damn, its been in the shop twice now and i have only had it 4 months.....a week into it my drivers side window decided it was gonna crap out....last week the passenger side crapped out. only plus side is although the car is out of warrenty the dealership covered the expense of replacing both motors. Other annoying thing is the chitty Bose CD player and crappy POS sub. the sub i guess i blew after only a month of owning the car, and the CD player seams to skip ALOT. had to replace with some rockford foxgate 12" and an infinity amp...next is the POS head unit.

by the way my car is an 04 touring with 40k miles i got for $21k, being that it was a used car i expected a few things to go out but the faulty motors really ticked me off......

 

I feel your pain. Screw that dealership. You can find some sweet deals on TPS on this site. This guy Derek has some for sale I think.

40ozfreedom, sorry to hear about the problems with your Z, just add some mods and you will feel all better.

 

I completely understand the frustration with the dealer. It's like talking to a wall half the time. You should be able to prove to them that it is not working though by simply comparing a manual pressure read with the one on the gauge. They can not dismiss proof.

As for the e-brake, that is just plain crazy! Nissan quality is sure slipping.

Best of luck dealing with the dealer and just keep at them. If the tech will not help, just keep going up the chain at the dealership and make a pest out of yourself.

 

Hopefully your car wasn't built on a Friday...

Show them the TPS is reading and use a pressure gauge and show them the actual tire pressure if they what to be idiots about it, the e-brake cable is a no brainer, or should be...

 

My parking brake cable got wiped out after about 6 months too. First time I've ever had a car do that.

 

as with any car, if a dealership aint working for you, find another one...i'm sure one this board someone local can point you to the right dealership. good luck
