It sounds very similar to my discussions with Nissan UK about my skipping CD's in the 350Z Bose head unit - they insisted that the fact that it was unplayable for the first 20minutes of any journey in cold weather was a "Feature Of The Unit". They installed a total of 4 more refurbished units, all of which displayed the same 'feature', and then finally they capitulated and provided me with a brand new head unit which worked perfectly from Day One. I can only assume that this brand new unit was faulty, because it did not have the 'skipping CD's' feature that it should have had.

Don't take Bull**** for an answer mate... and for Godsake write those letters/make a note of all phone calls.

Well said

Now I just need the correct address/branch so that it doesn't fall on deaf ears.

1. Nissan Customer Services - should be on the Nissan USA website? Phone them and get the details of the person in charge. (sorry, I'm in England & my contacts would be no good to you at all!).

2. Managing Director of the Dealership you bought the car from.

3. Carlos Ghosn. I'm sure he'd like to know.

...don't forget to tell them you know of several 370Z's that DON'T have this noise.

Hey Chubbs,

no, unfortunately I didn't, lots of stuff going on right now, but I will find the time soon, need to bump it up on my list of priorities.

I'll let you know if I find a defective one (one that doesn't make the noise)

Thanks!

Braden

Yeah - If you find a defective one, make sure you tell everyone not to touch it - Wouldn't want anyone buying a clunkless Z, now would we?
