Dealer Warranty on Turboed 2006 350z
Anyone have experience with Nissan rejecting warranty work on a 2006 or any year 350z with a Turbo that is still under warranty. I have a rear transmission seal that is leaking onto the exhaust. The dealer said that Nissan won't honor my warranty due to the turbo. Is there help?

On the other hand, they have to PROVE that what you did to the vehicle caused the problem. They cannot suspect nor imply. It has to be proven. Also, to void your warranty, the manufacturer has to provide you notice in writing. A technician at the dealership cannot make that decision and the decision cannot be conveyed verbally to carry any weight.

the dealer would say that all the power of the turbo caused (insert problem).....so regardless if it's a leak, cracked axle or etc, they'll never touch it (for they're own liability)

Yeah good luck... could file a dispute with Nissan. They should be able to have a service rep come out to the dealer to inspect the vehicle and you can discuss it with them. I've heard of this working out well for people. But you really take a risk going FI.

They have to prove the turbo caused the leak. Other wise your warrenty will stand. No mod can void your whole warranty. With turbo, engine is out of warranty, done, nothing you can do. Tranny however should still be under warranty. GL

Technically you can't do anything from the plenum down like add a plenum spacer without voiding your warranty...what makes you think that adding a turbo also wouldn't void the warranty.

Say you put in a short shifter then you throw a piston, nothing to with one another (and please no one come up with a stupid explanation of how they are related) so the engine is still covered. In this case engine is wouldn't be but tranny should be.
