2024 NISSAN Z

Filed Aug 9, 2026


Two defects are present simultaneously on the front passenger seating position of my 2024 Nissan Z. The passenger seat belt does not reliably latch. On several occasions the belt has released on its own while the vehicle was in motion, most frequently under hard cornering. On other occasions the belt appears fully latched but the seat belt warning light remains illuminated, indicating the buckle switch is not registering engagement. The passenger air bag status light indicates the front…

2024 NISSAN Z

Filed Feb 20, 2026


The rear hatchback window, and it will be available until Monday when we have an appointment to replace the shattered rear hatchback window. We were in the car at a stop light and the rear window literally exploded causing some glass shards to fall into the car. We had no idea what happened except the window was totally shattered and we could not see anything out of the back window which made it impossible to see what was behind us. No. We stopped immediately at a Nissan dealership in…

2003 NISSAN 350Z

Filed Jan 15, 2026


It’s the ABS Module not for sure what exactly is wrong with it but it does not function like it should. Also if you look at other vehicles of the same model just different year why was it changed like a different design entirely. What it does is I don’t get full brake power or pressure like half at this point you stop but it’s a slow rolling stop or something. Makes me believe there was an issue when the car came out and the next year it was changed. For example my car is a 02-03 now some…

2014 NISSAN 370Z

Filed Aug 28, 2025


While driving my 2014 Nissan 370Z with only around 43,000 miles, the car suddenly made a loud bang in the rear area and then would not shift normally in automatic mode while I was on the highway with my child in the car. When I inspected the underside afterward, there were no fluids leaking and I had not hit anything that could have caused the noise or malfunction of the output sensor. Shortly after, the vehicle went into limp mode and would not shift past 2nd or possibly 3rd gear. Manual mode…

2010 NISSAN 370Z

Filed May 24, 2025


As of 05/20/2025 my vehicle would not detect the Key in the vehicle to start. Put the Key in the slot to detect just in case it’s a bad battery on the Fob and nothing was being detected. Found out the steering lock unit is faulty. Called a local Nissan dealership and was told my VIN does not fall under a recall but I am having issues regarding the recall that has been sent out to some customers regarding the steering lock unit. Not too sure what can be done at this point.

My 350Z was overheating so I took it to Sun Devil Auto in Sun City West. Sam Malone inspected it. He said I needed a new radiator, hoses, gaskets for a price of $1400.00+ .I went to the Firestone dealer in Surprise on Meeker, he told me to go put antifreeze in and check ot out. I did and no overheating now? Mr. Malone lied to me and I want him fired.
