Default How many have had "NO" problems with their Z

Obviously 90% of the owners don't come to the internet and many of the ones that do come to the internet, have problems with their cars and are looking for help. Just wonder how many owners are here reading about other peoples problems but don't really have any of these problems with their Z's?

I have a problem with my windows. There seems to be some sort of stripe of grease after bringing the windows up. I have seen this on a few other Z's and wondering if any of you know what it is.

Why whenever this topic is brought up, do people with problems post what their problem is? I did a similar thread a couple months ago and the majority of responses were, "Well other than my door falling off and me landing in the road...."

I'm at 3,600 miles (yeah, in almost 6 mo. that's all the miles I've put on it, but the've been marvelous) and currently have a flawless Z.

mine was one of the earlier production Z's #288 and i have to say, just normal oil changes and the usual TSB stuff. I took it in for bose amp and grease strip, after that, just regular maintenance. My oil changes are free because of the silver extended warranty i bought and just had my 7500 service, 67 bucks, so far maintenance has been very cheap .

2003 Super Black Base. Aside from my disliking the paint quality, I have had NO problems. This includes any grease strips on the windows, tire feathering (in fact i may need new tires soon anyway), transmission.

9300 miles and counting.

16K miles and the only problem is some minor creaking. No mechanical issues whatsoever.

Only major problem on mine is the feathering. Minor problems I have had:

Window streak- fixed
Seat Bolster Frayed- waiting
Seat Rocking - waiting
Dash Creaking when Cold- not a problem, just anoying

Not bad for a first production year Z. My transmission shifts like butter. Hopefully they resolve the feathering issue soon.

Tell your dealer the part #400E(not D) amplifier has a TSB out on it and you need him to order and install it.
