CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW,AS OF 11-9-2020 THE PROBLEM IS STILL EXISTS.

WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 40MPH, MY 2005 NISSAN 350Z (41XXX MILES) SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. NO POWER, BRAKES, STEERING, ANYTHING. I GLIDED TO A STOP AND PULLED OVER AS BEST AS I COULD. EVERY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON: CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE SOON, TIRE PRESSURE, ETC. I WAS ON A FLAT, BUSY CITY STREET GOING STRAIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. PRIOR TO THIS, I HAD NO INDICATION OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ETC. I CALLED AAA AND AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES, DECIDED TO SEE IF IT WOULD START SO I COULD MOVE TO A SAFER PLACE. IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I'VE SINCE BEEN ABLE TO START AND DRIVE BUT THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHE FOR ME AND THE DRIVERS AROUND ME. IT'S A VERY CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE READ IT IS ONGOING WITH NISSANS THE SAME AGE AS MINE. SOME WERE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BUT I LOOKED UP MY VIN AND IT'S NOT COVERED. TAKING IT TO A DEALER TOMORROW BUT APPRECIATE ANY HELP REPORTING AND RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. THANKS.

AT 45,000 MILES THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. DEALERS WANTS AN ARM, A LEG, AND HALF OF THE OTHER LEG TO FIX. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE IS NOT A RECALL YET. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN START REPLACING PARTS BUT THAT MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. VERBAL ESTIMATE COULD BE AROUND $3,200 TO START! CARE IS PRISTINE, GARAGE KEPT, NEVER SEEN RAIN OR SNOW. HELP! PLEASE MAKE NISSAN FIX THIS KNOW ISSUE.

AIR BAG LIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLASHING FOR 3 YEARS WHETHER PARKED OR IN MOTION, DEALERSHIP SAYS $1500 TO DIAGNOSE BUT BELIEVES BAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AND ADVISES TO "DRIVE SAFELY" IF I DECIDE NOT TO REPAIR. NOT ON RECALL LIST WHICH IS UNREAL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUES AS BAGS WILL NOT GO OFF IF IN A COLLISION ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP.

CLUTCH STICKING TO FLOOR HAVE TO PLACE FOOT UNDER CLUTCH TO POP BACK IN PLACE SO I CAN CONTINUE TO USE CLUTCH. ALSO, SLIP LIGHT COMES ON SINCE NISSAN OF BOWIE, MD ROTATED MY TIRES, IN THE 13 YRS I HAVE OWNED NO MECHANIC HAS EVER DONE AND I QUESTION IT AT NISSAN OF BOWIE, MD.

THE REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHTS BOUGHT FROM AMAZON (AUTOLIGHTSBULBS) ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE LIKE THE ONES FROM THE DEALER. I CONTACTED THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY STATE THAT THESE ARE DOT AND SAE CERTIFIED. PLEASE FIND SUPPLIED

ALL THE CRANKSHAFT SENORS AND CAM SENSORS FAILED WITH A TOTAL LOSE OF POWER CREATING AND VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION. IN OTHER WORDS I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT AN ACCIDENT WAS NOT CREATED AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND NO BACKUP TO POWER THE VEHICLE SAFELY ON THE CITY STREET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN 350Z. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO WARNER NISSAN (1070 BRIGHT RD, FINDLAY, OH 45840 (419) 423-7162) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO COST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED HIM THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE SEAT BELT. NO OTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,270. *BF *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN 350Z. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNOCCUPIED AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE CRASH. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN GETTEL, LOCATED ON 3530 BEE RIDGE RD, SARASOTA, FL 34239, WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE INSPECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,451. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAN'T TOLD IT WAS A TAKATA RECALL. MY AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON 9 TIMES AND I ONLY HAVE 41K ON THE CAR. EVERY TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME IT CAME FROM THE SEATS.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK WON'T UNLOCK. IF YOU LOCK IT THEN TRY TO UNLOCK IT, THE LOCK WON'T ENGAGE.

TAKATA RECALL I AM HIGHLY CONCERNED ABOUT NISSAN 350Z WHEEL MODELS. WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE COLLAPSED DUE TO THE FACT THE RIM BROKE OFF. WHEELS ARE NISSAN STOCK. NO AFTERMARKET! NO INJURIES WERE PRESENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, MY LIFE AND POSSIBLY THE LIFE OF OTHERS COULDVE BEEN TAKEN FROM THIS MATTER. SO FAR NISSAN REFUSES TO BE AT FAULT. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN INCIDENT TOOK PLACE. HEARD GRINDING AT 55MPH AND VEHICLE COLLAPSED AT 10MPH.

TAKATA RECALL I OWN A 2005 NISSAN 350 Z. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST 1000 TO FIX IT. I'VE IN FLORIDA (VERY HUMID). WHY HAS MY CAR'S AIRBAGS NOT BEEN RECALLED?

I'VE EXPERIENCED RECENTLY THAT I CAN'T SEEM TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK FULL. THE GAS PUMP JUST STOPS PUMPING FUEL AFTER 5 OR 6 GALLONS, AND THERE'S GAS SPILLAGE ALL OVER THE GAS INLET PIPE. IT'S ANNOYING AND IT'S HAPPENING EVERY TIME I FILL UP. VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF WHILE FILLING UP. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO I STARTED TO HAVE A FLASHING AIR BAG LIGHT ON FOR NO REASON. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY USUALLY WHEN I JUST START THE CAR UP. AS WITH MOST OWNERS IN THE NORTH I DON'T DRIVE IT IN THE WINTER SO I PUT ON AROUND 35K SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I SEARCHED THE WEB TO SEE IF ANYONE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SURE WERE. I TRIED THE RESET PROCEDURE FOUND ONLINE AND IT WORKED FOR AWHILE. NOW IT COMES ON MORE OFTEN AND I JUST TRY TO RESET IT AGAIN. IT DIDN'T TAKE MUCH SEARCHING TO FIND OUT THAT NISSAN IS CHARGING OWNERS (MY YEAR) $600-3,000 TO REPAIR AND THE PROBLEM CAME BACK FOR SOME AGAIN. SOME EVEN REPORTED HAVING AN ACCIDENT AND THE BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE NOT HAD IT TO A DEALER SIMPLY BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE SEATS SOME HAVE HAD TO.

LIKE SO MANY OTHERS THAT I HAVE READ, MY AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES FOR THE PASSENGERS SIDE AIRBAG. I AM A SECOND OWNER OF THIS CAR THAT HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A WRECK OF ANY KIND. THIS CAR HAS BEEN BABIED BY ME AS WELL AS THE PREVIOUS OWNER. IT IS GARAGE KEPT AND HARDLY EVER DRIVEN. MILAGE IS ONLY 52000 AFTER 11 YEARS!! LIGHT HAS BEEN RESET BUT STILL COMES BACK ON. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURED DEFECT AND IF SOMEONE IS HURT BECAUSE OF NO ACTION I WILL SUE NISSAN AS WELL AS NHTSA FOR NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!

OEM LIGHTS HAZED FROM THE INSIDE SO I BOUGHT REPLACEMENT LIGHTS FROM SPYDER AUTO... PART NUMBER 5064745. FROM THE BEGINNING THE LIGHTS HAD A SHADOW IN FRONT OF THE CAR BUT I FELT THIS WAS JUST A SETUP PROBLEM. THIS MODEL LIGHT HAS THE LOW BEAM SITTING BEHIND THE HIGH BEAM. IT WAS LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE DESIGN MAKES THE LOW BEAM SHINE ON THE HIGH BEAM CHROME HOUSING TO SEND THE LIGHT OFF THE SIDE OF THE CAR BUT NOT IN FRONT. THIS WAS REPORTED TO SPYDER AUTO BUT THEY COULD NOT RECOMMEND A SOLUTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SAME PROBLEM IS OCCURRING IN BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT HEADLIGHTS.

MY CAR HASN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING AND YET MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING AND MY AIRBAGS ARE DISCONNECTED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY AIRBAGS WON'T BE FIXED BY NISSAN I'M NOT SURE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AND I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE MILES. NISSAN WILL HAVE THIS.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY GOING ON, EVEN AFTER RESETTING NUMEROUS TIMES. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AIR BAG FAILING IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF NHTSA WOULD OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO PREMATURE AIRBAG FAILURE IN 350ZS.

SWERVED CAR TO AVOID HITTING A DEER. WHEN I STRAIGHTENED OUT THE CAR THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER WHO SAID I NEEDED TO INSTALL A WHOLE PASSENGER SEAT. APPROX $1500-2000 DOLLARS. WHEN CHECKING OUT DIFFERENT WEBSITES THERE ARE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT AIR BAG LIGHTS GOING ON. ALL WERE TOLD SEATS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS CAR HAS ON 25000 MILES NOW. AS I ONLY USE THE CAR WHEN I AM BY MYSELF FOR FEAR OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG NOT GOING OFF. CAN'T EVEN SELL THE CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM.
