Default 350z Tire Feathering Class Action Lawsuit: Signup Here!

I just rec'd this survey from the California atty Jonathon Shub:

Thank you for responding to our consumer information website regarding
the class action lawsuit filed against Nissan for the defective front
tires and alignment system that causes premature and irregular tire
wear, "tire feathering," and "tire roar" in the 2003 and 2004 Nissan
350Z. On October 1, 2004, in the California Superior Court for Los
Angeles County, we filed the class action lawsuit on behalf of all
2003 and 2004 Nissan 350Z owners and lessees nationwide (Paul Doty v.
Nissan North American, Inc., Case No. BC322435).

Nissan has made several attempts to remedy the front tire
problem in the 2003 and 2004 350Z car. Nissan issued several
advisories to its dealership service departments, called Technical
Service Bulletins, prescribing varying steps to address and correct
the front tire problem. We believe these attempts
did not fix the problem.
Nissan finally issued on April 12, 2004 its
Technical Service Bulletin called "2003 350Z Front Wheel Alignment
Warranty Extension (NTB04-043)." In conjunction with this bulletin,
Nissan sent all 2003 350Z owners a letter describing a warranty
extension and inviting 350Z owners with front tire problems to come to
the dealership service department for a free inspection. The purpose
of the inspection was to determine if the car was eligible for a
repair pursuant to the April 2004 "2003 350Z
Front Wheel Alignment Warranty Extension Program."

In our lawsuit, Plaintiff alleges that the repairs done according to
the April 2004 Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) are ineffectual and
lead to the rapid recurrence of front tire problems. We would like to
hear from as many 350Z owners and lessees as possible who have had the
April 2004 TSB repair procedure performed on their cars.
Did you receive information
from Nissan about this TSB?
-- Yes
-- No
-- Unsure

Did you have the April 2004 TSB procedure performed on your 350Z?
-- Yes
-- No
-- Unsure

The April 2004 TSB repair procedures typically resulted in the dealer
service department performing a front tire rotation or replacement
followed by a front-end alignment. Specifically, we would like hear
from you whether or not your "tire roar" or "tire feathering" has
recurred since having the April 2004 TSB repair performed on your
vehicle. Did the "tire roar" or "tire feathering" return on your 350Z
after the dealer performed the April 2004 TSB repair procedure?
-- Yes
-- No
-- Unsure
-- Inapplicable

If you answered yes to the preceding question, please indicate
approximately how many miles elapsed on your car after the April 2004
TSB procedure before the "tire roar" or "tire feathering" recurred?
-- 0-500 miles
-- 500-1,000 miles
-- 1,000-2,000 miles
-- 2,000-3,000 miles
-- 3,000-5,000 miles
-- more than 5,000 miles

Please place an "x" next to each of your answers. You may also
