Everyone with oil temp issues

A question for AK...

Would it be an idea to harness 'owner power' by starting a 'Petition Thread' on the forum, where anyone on the forum who is concerned about the oil temp issue could 'sign up' ? Then, after a given period of time (2-3 weeks?) the online 'signatures' could be collated & sent to Nissan by someone in authority here (AK???).

I'm sure that all of us - owners and potential owners alike - want to put pressure on Nissan to correct what is clearly a serious issue. Nissan are obviously aware of it, but they seem to be sitting on their thumbs a bit. In my opinion they need to be spurred into action on this issue, to prevent damage to engine internals.


My suggested title line for the proposed petition goes like this (duh - now I've got to think of one!!!)...

To Nissan Motor Company,
We, the undersigned owners and potential owners of Nissan 370Z's are extremely concerned that the new 370Z's engine oil is prone to serious overheating.
Several new owners have already experienced serious issues associated with this problem since the car's launch a few months ago. We feel that Nissan needs to do four things...

1. Announce an immediate recall on all 370Z's, to enable existing owners to have an oil cooler fitted at Nissan dealerships.

2. Fit an oil cooler to all 370Z's that have not yet been delivered to their new owners.

3. Reimburse any 370Z owner who has already fitted an oil cooler, to cover the cost of this installation ...or offer to replace the oil cooler with one recommended by Nissan.

4. Solve the 'overheating oil' problem, so that new owners do not suffer it.

If you (Nissan) respond positively and speedily to this petition, you will ensure loyalty from your existing customers and also secure many more new sales of what is in many other respects a superb sports car (apart perhaps from the emerging synchro issue!!!!!) <<<<<< I might not add the bit in brackets!


So, what does everyone think? Is it a good idea? Is the wording right and - most importantly - what does AK think of it? I shall pm him, to make sure he sees this post asap.

Personally, I think that forums like this have a 'duty' to champion issues for their community.
