A&Q about 350Z
Q:
Thanks for the info tx350z...
I just bought my Z a couple of weeks ago and the dealer wants me to come back in to fill out my Nissan survey with them (give them high marks and they'll fill up my tank for free)
I was planning on questioning them what their stand is on this tire feathering issue and if my car is victim to it, what they are going to do about it... lets see them earn their excellent survey rating!
Would I be out of line asking for a free Nismo spoiler for a perfect survey?

TX350z is correct try Autoline aka Better Bussiness Bureau, thats how I got my Audi TT repurchased.
A:
I have a BBB hearing on 4/16 for a requested Buyback of my Brickyard Z. I just ruined my 2nd set of tires and my final LL repair was on 1/5/04.
I hope the system works.

kbsig106... keep us updated with your situation.
It will be interesting to see what happens with the buyback scenario.
Theoretically, if you have tire feathering and wanted to get out of owning/paying for the car, this is a possible route. Then go get you a newer model when this is fixed?
Not a common scenario, but possible...

I've been in for service a total of 10 times for various problems ( two control arms, 4 alignments, 2 sets of tires, etc) So under the Fla LL - I have a lemon. So Nissan conducted the final repair on 1/5/04. The repair held all of two months and my car is back to feathering again. This time it's on the outside tread blocks vs. the inside on the last set. The 2mm toe adjustment required under TSB .006(b) makes the problem worse.
A:
Using the dealers address for Nissan, (NNA), is incorrect. Dealers are independent businesses, required to uphold a contract, (franchise agreement), with Nissan, no more or less.
You are claiming a manufacturing defect, not improper service and repair...or?
Incorrect service of a small claims action will nullify any possible judgement.
Look in your owners manual for the correct information.
Nissan is not required to send an attorney to small claims. Most small claims cases are handled by local representation, (an employee sometimes in customer service), from the regional office. Be aware that the folks that show up usually have paralegal training, so have your case / presentation locked or you will lose.
Proof of depreciation due to a specific 'concern' is all but impossible to prove without a tsunami of documentation.
Also a judgement in small claims court sets no president of responsibility.
Arbitration is your best bet for resolution quickly. When attorneys get involved, (class action), the wheels of justice turn very slowly.
Good luck.

Nissan should buy the car back just like Mazda did for lying about 10hp.
