Hi,

Like many of you, I've got an '04 350zr Touring, and Nissan will not acknowledge that the feathering of the front tires is a problem, even though I just spent $650 on two new front tires and an alignment. In spite of the class action that's pending, I guess I'm not all that surprised that they refused to cover it. The guy I spoke to in consumer affairs, Christopher, told me that "negotiations" are going on within Nissan to address the problem on the '04 models. However, that doesn't help any of us cover our costs for the time being, nor the difficulties we'll have in trying to resell these cars.

I was surprised and disappointed that the "CBS Investigates" feature that ran a few months ago didn't get more traction (click here to see it - http://wcbs.dayport.com/viewer/view...&Category_ID=48) So I started thinking about some creative ways to get Nissan's attention, and had this idea:

If Z owners started standing outside in front of Nissan dealers all over the country holding picket signs that said "Don't buy a Z" or "Nissan left me holding Z bill" or something like that, I suspect that within a few hours or days the dealers would start complaining to NNA en masse that their sales are being affected. It might also help keep the story alive in the media.

Thoughts?
