My 2009 370z is at the dealer as we speak for what could end up being engine damage due to the oil consumption issue. I change my car's oil religiously using synthetic. Most I've ever gone before a change is around 5k on synthetic oil. Anyways, the other day the car just cut out when accelerating from a light. It didn't stall... but it bucked like a sonofabi*ch! Felt like the gears were screwed up or something because it forced me down to what felt like 20mph or so. Managed to get the car to the dealer. They noticed the oil was low which was a complete surprise to me. They thought it was a timing valve at first but that was not the problem. Now they're replacing a sprocket? If that doesn't solve it, it sounds like the car may require some big time engine work. I showed the dealer the TSB and my car is still under powertrain warranty... but I have to say this is a complete surprise for a car that has otherwise given me no issues whatsoever!

Hmmmm this sounds so familiar..........

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Yeah to comicdust73, sounds like you may have some engine damage there. If the dealer has to replace the short block all of it should be covered by the warranty. You may have to provide proof (receipts) that the car has been being maintenance properly since you purchased the car. Other than that you should be in the clear. Sorry to hear about the trouble I've been there.

Thanks... at this point I just want a working car! Even if they fix the short-term issue... I'll still need to bring it back to verify whether or not it's consuming oil. Last time I saw the car a couple days back... it looked like half the engine was pulled out in order to replace the sprocket. I may hear back today whether or not this fixes the immediate problem. The main worry for me is that once you start ripping things apart and putting them back together... the car will be nothing but a headache from here on out.
