Window motor blown (?!?!) on a 2008 !!
I bought my 350Z touring 3 weeks ago and was back at the dealers today due to complete failure of the passenger side window. Dealer said its not covered on the warrenty he provides (surprise surprise... ) but its a know issue with 350Z ?!?!?
While the service guy was looking at the car/ window he managed to advance the regulator/ motor and the window is now fully operational again. However, he did say he though the motor had a dead spot on it (reason for the failure) and it was only a matter of time till it happened again .....
I'm I being fed a huge pile of BS... and has anybody had any joy going back to Nissan and kicking up a fuss about a 2008, 39,000 mile window motor failure ?
Estimated repair inc labor ... $500 .....

It took me 2-3 hours just taking my time so I didn't **** it up. Even if you don't know anything about cars you can do this. You'll replace it every 4-5 years.

Sure you get the next one free, but you still have to change it, might as well fix it for good (or much longer) the first time around

update ... Nissan ‘Consumer Affairs' called me....
... on the advice of the Main dealer I bought the car from (not Nissan) I contacted Nissan North America, Inc (via their web site) and ‘requested support for a repair’.
To my surprise, I received a call from a Nissan ‘Consumer Affairs Representative’ today (2 days after posting original note), who have now created a ‘case number’ for the issue and asked me to take the car to my local Nissan dealership for evaluation (?!?!?!).
No idea where this is going ... but I get the feeling Nissan Inc. know these motors are sh*te.
