2009 Nissan 370Z Complaint Log

FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILURE. FUEL GAGE WILL NOT READ THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK. ISSUES HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS. BOTH FUEL SENDING UNITS ARE SCHEDULED FOR REPLACEMENT BY NISSAN DEALER. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. SEE THE FOLLOWING SITES FOR OTHER EXAMPLES.

CAR REVS UP TO 2500-3000 RPMS BETWEEN SHIFTS! CANNOT GET THE IDLE TO DROP LOWER; ANY ATTEMPT TO PUNCH THE GAS PEDAL AND LOWER THE IDLE JUST MAKES IT IDLE FASTER!! PROBLEM HAS EXISTED 3.5 YEARS NOW, AND EVERY TIME I REQUEST THE DEALER INVESTIGATE THEY HAVE LAME EXCUSE OF "IF IT ISN'T DOING IT WHEN YOU BRING IT IN, WE CAN'T TROUBLESHOOT IT"! WTF? THE MOST RECENT TIME (MARCH 2013) THE CAR HAD A "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT AT THE SAME TIME AND IDLE WOULDN'T DROP BELOW 2000 RPMS FOR 3 DAYS. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND DEALER FOUND "NOTHING WRONG" AND "NO CODES SAVED IN ECM MEMORY". AGAIN, WTF? ISN'T THIS THE SAME TOYOTA RUNAWAY THROTTLE ISSUE - SAME YEAR, SAME JAPANESE CAR, SAME FUEL THROTTLE COMPONENT PURCHASED FROM THE SAME INFERIOR SUPPLIER? DEALER IS NOT DOCUMENTING MY REQUESTS!! ARE YOU WAITING FOR ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND DIE BEFORE YOU FIX IT? *TR

ENGINE USED APPROXIMATELY 3/4 QUART OF OIL IN FIRST 700 MILES. CONTINUES TO CONSUME IN EXCESS OF 1 QUART OF OIL PER 1,000 MILES. NISSAN HAS DONE NUMEROUS (4) CONSUMPTION TESTS. VEHICLE FAILED ALL TESTS. VEHICLE NOW HAS 8,700 MILES AFTER 5 YEARS AND I AM IN A PROTRACTED BATTLE WITH NISSAN. THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2008 AND ISSUED TSBS IN 2010 BUT CONTINUED TO TRY AND HIDE BEHIND THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS POSTING ON THE WEB FOR LIKE PROBLEMS WITH THE 370 ENGINE, INCLUDING THE NISSAN 370Z AND THE INFINITI G37. *TR
