No, we don't. I have a Z and BMW and I've had only minor complaints with the BMW, the Z is endless. Thankfully they are buying it back. I just feel sorry for the next slob they sell it to claiming its fixed.

 

I still have a 2004 350ZR, black on black. A correction with the buy back times, it's up to 120 days and they pay me back for everything including interest on the loan. I also get back my sales tax and extended warranty fees as well. I think their bill is going to be about 50k with attorney fees, which they pay as well.

Once all is said and done I'll post what I can. I think they require a non-disclosure agreement after payoff.

 

Good for you. Dont get a Titan . Sounds like they're having their share of problems on that nissan product as well.

 

got my notice today.

Bat™

 

Actually it isn't all 04's. I called the dealer and my VIN isn't included in the recall.

 

what do you expect......nissan only pays them two and a half hours for the fuel hose replacement.
dropped the z off for the recall yesterday morning... took them all day. Looks like they did a decent job....no surprises.

 

My car is in the service bay now having this done. I hope this also fixes the not be able to fill the tank all the way.

 

it won't, there is a TSB for that.

 

I expect that I would do the same exact thing.

If the notice says bring it with 1/2 tank and you bring it with more, that is more work for them to empty it and those fellows have every right to it.

Speaking of gas, my area just topped $3/gallon for premium for the first time EVER today.

These gas prices could really kill SUV sales (not just dent them) and that sure would make me happy to get those dinosaurs off the road.

Maybe I have just become cynical but when I watch some lady wrestle a Cadillac Escalade,which does not even have a trailer hitch on the back, into a grocery store parking lot, I just start chuckling to myself these days asking under my breath - WHY?

I just hope these gas prices do not put a damper on the manufactureres producing some of the cool cars being shown as prototypes at the car shows.
My Z gets sold when I can buy that new Hemi Dodge Challenger when it is released in 2007/2008.

 

I guess there is no TSB for this. I can't find one at any of the normal sites. But there is a "bulletin".

I called the shop as they JUST finished the exploding fuel line TSB and told them that I can't fill the tank all the way.

Hopefully they will know of the bulletin and replace that o-ring. If not I will PRINT the bulletin and bring it in.

Man I wish I had the time to go to Performance Nissan for this but I am slammed at work and HAD to go local. So far so good though.

 

Thanks for posting that link.
NOw I know why my rear view mirror never gets very dark.

I was hating that mirror since even when I could tell it was dimming, it was not enough and I had to manualy twist it up out of the way and I wished for the good old fashioned day/night switch.

Since I thought it was supposed to work this way ie. a cruddy design, I never said anything about it.

Now that I see those 2 sensors, I am going to permanenlty block the front one and the thing may finally work as I wished it would.

Great stuff - I am going through the other TSB's to see what I am missing.

Again, thanks!!

 

Took my Z in for the fuel hose fix this past Friday. So far, everything's been just fine since the repair was done. No new random noises coming from the drivetrain, no acceleration issues, and no random dealer-inflicted damage.

 

Pray for me:

I just dropped it off today. Expecting it back by the end of the day.

May the force be with me! :-)

 

Ain't that the truth.

 

They did get my recall done in about 3 hours. Now for the "can't fill the tank up all the way"...they've had it for 3 days.

 

I had that problem before. They replaced the fuel return thing or whatever it is called. The thing in the tank that causes the gas filler to click when full. Took 2 hours.

 

Yup, I have the bulletin in hand and it looks like I may have to FAX it to them. They called me and said they needed to replace the fuel sending unit! I was like, "no! It's not that!".

If they replace that I still won't be able to fill all the way. I told them I verified this by keeping track of my actual miles with the trip computer. Has nothing to do with a busted sending unit. It's not a FORD for godsake!

So the service person said they would tell the mechanic this. When she calls back if they still insist, I will fax them the bulletin.

 

Uhhh you are very wrong. Among many other things, ever hear of the M3 bearing problems?

 

And my buddy sitting right next to me here at work whose '04 M3 wouldn't start for two weeks. They had to fly some one out from Germany to fix it.

 

My recall is done.

Drove the car around, on bumps, on the highway, at low speeds. Checked the undercariage and exhaust system briefly, looks good. Nothing abnormal found yet (knock on wood).

Happy time!
