I was 500 miles from home in a 2 month old virgin car. Invoice says "warranty part" and it took them 2 weeks to get a ten dollar part used on many, many, Nissans and other cars.

(The part broke again so I dug one out of a scrapped VW).

This was the first 370Z seen by the dealership, and up to recently, the last. It took Nissan 6 months to decide I was the problem, not the car. What else? After 6 months of ducking, dodging, and weaving?

2 months old! No time for scheduled maintenance. They'll find a reason if only to save face for taking 2 weeks to get a ten dollar relay..

A really lovely car, warranty a dud.


Good luck, Fritz.
I don't get what you're trying to say. It seems like your dealer replaced the part under warranty and had to order it. The warranty is a dud because it broke again? That doesn't make any sense. I think you have a Nissan dealer problem, more than a warranty problem. I would have talked to Nissan's corporate office to square things out, not just the dealership that apparently isn't familiar with the Z.

OP, just keep a record of everything and you'll be fine. Keep any receipts for oil changes, warranty work, etc etc.. It will also help you in case you intend to sell the car in the future. You'll have proof that it was well taken care off. Look in your manual, there should be a booklet that has everything covered undered warranty. The only time they don't honor it is if they suspect a non oem part caused damage or it was tampered or abused in any way.
