I'm going to opt out. There's no way I'm giving up my right to sue them later for a $250 coupon for more crappy tires. That's what everyone should do, in my opinion.

Worthless, less than 5% of these owners will benefit from this.

 

I got the letter yesterday. I had the tires replace by the dealer at 18K. I now have 75K on the car and have been through at least three sets of tires. How am I going to benefit from this?

 

i jus got this letter in the mail today. i dont think we can see much of a benefit from 250$... is anyone actually taking this clain further?

 

I am an atorney, and I am definitely opting out.

I guess the plaintiffs have not been able to show a strong case because the offer is really low.

A discount card for replacing the tires at the dealer with no fix for the wear problem is the same as nothing to Nissan if you take on account the markup of the tires and the expense already by the car owners. I have been through 2 tire sets and my car is 44K miles.

Last week I aligned my car and the technician told me that my car's geometry is near the specs limits and that in the future I will need a caster camber kit. Beleave me, I do not punish my car as some of the kids I see on the streets.

I experienced the front tire "growl" about 6 months after I bought my 2003. I checked the tires and found the feathering. I took it to my local dealer who realigned my front suspension at no cost to me. (They were aware of the bad reputation that the Z was getting.) Since that time, I haven't had any further problems, so I guess I'll opt out.

 

Got my letter a couple days ago, read over it and threw it in the trash. Waste of time

 

So if you have a 2005 with tire feathering, your's SOL???

 

i can't find my letter right now, so just to be sure, to opt out you just do nothing right?

 

Finally got mine yesterday. Gave me a headache reading, sorry I didn't take Double Talk 101. Waste of OUR time and OUR money.

 

Nope. It's just like opting out of junk mail or telemarketing calls. If you do nothing, they get what they want. That is, if you do nothing, you get nothing, plus you don't get to sue them ever again ever for anything related to tire noise. Silence is agreement.

Sure, that's not exactly what it says, but that's how I read it.

Opting out is easy. They even tell you how. Send a short letter to:

Settlement Administrator
PO Box 2909 Farmington Hills, MI 48333-2909

The letter should start with:
Nissan 350Z Cases, Judicial Council Coordination Proceeding No. 4421

Add your name, address, and telephone number. Then one short statement:
Please exclude me from the Settlement Class in the 350Z Litigation.

You don't even have to say why.

Sign and date it. Send it by April 29.

A $150 rebate on OEM tires to fix a factory issue that should never have been a problem to begin with. Haha, oh wow.

Opting out only because I'm getting a new set of wheels and tires very soon.

 

RE040's ftl...

 

I am going to opt as well. It seems to me that you have to respond in some way or other in order to preserve your rights in this or any other claims concerning the tire roar issue.


It says, "Class Counsel will apply to the Court for reasonable attorney's fees and expenses in an amount up to $1,280,000. Nissan has agreed not to oppose this application. Any award of attorney's fees and costs will be paid by Nissan separately from and in addition to any relief provided to the settlement Class."

So they won't oppose paying the lawyers over a miilion bucks, but they won't buy me a new set of tires. Nice!

 

I have a 2003 , I didnt get a letter, bought mine 2nd hand from a infinity dealership, how do i get a letter

 

Im the second owner of a 2003, I wonder if a replacement of tires by the original owner, and then myself counts as two. I took the stock rims off and still have the deformed front tires.

 

I am the second owner and bought mine from a dealership. I just got the letter a couple days ago; haven't read it all the way yet.

 

When I first started reading the letter, I was pretty enthusiastic that someone was finally taking Nissan to task for this unforgivable defect. However, upon completely reading the letter, I was disappointed to say the least.

I need to get my law degree, then I can make these big attorney fees, without actually getting anything of substance for the people involved.

 

Got my letter too.. Opting out as well.

 

I got the same letter but I sold my 2003 Z last year. I did spend a good deal of $$$ correcting this issue with tire replacements and alignments when I had the car. I guess I'm SOL huh?
