Check the above link out for service bulletins/recalls. I'm in insurance and we use this site a lot when trying to determine if we can subro a car manufacturer for certain losses.

There were 14 service bulletins for the Z, last one was in December though. I don't know how quickly this site is updated.

Not too impressive regarding quality.

 

I wouldn't judge quality based on the number of TSBs. A lot of these are just FYI/FAQ types of information. These are NOT recalls.

 

Here's the deal:

If everyone registers complaints with the NHTSA using the above website for each problem we've encountered with the car, maybe people will start paying attention to them.

I noticed nothing on alignment, streaks on the windows, rattles, or any of the other problems that we've all been having.

This could be an easy way to register our complaints, and hopefully get action taken on them.

This is a section taken from the website:

Use one of the following methods to file a complaint:

Web Forms


By Phone
Call the DOT Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236) and a NHTSA representative will record your complaint information.

General Information

Your complaint information will be entered into NHTSA's vehicle owner's complaint database and used with other complaints to determine if a safety-related defect trend exists.

If a safety-related defect exists in a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment, the manufacturer must fix it at no cost to the owner. Your complaint is the first step in the process.

Government engineers analyze the problem. If warranted, the manufacturer is asked to conduct a recall. If the manufacturer does not initiate a recall, the government can order the manufacturer to initiate a recall.

We do not have to receive a specific number of complaints before we look into a problem. We gather all available information on a problem. Your complaint is important to us.

For a prompt response from NHTSA, send your information request, suggestions, or comments to webmaster@nhtsa.dot.gov.
