370z Complaints so far?

drmike · 01-26-2009, 08:46 AM

This is also a good thread though, thanks folks for posting your thoughts.

I forgot about the non tilt/telescoping steering wheel. I am able to find a comfortable position so it's not that big a deal. IMO the "touring" model should have this feature standard.

I do not have any clutch noise or phone problems. I do have a rattle that seems to come from the rear cross brace.

My only complaints are the blindspots, lack of digital speedometer, the absence of the tire pressure monitoring system which previously gave you a read out of the pressure in the front and rear wheels. Other than that I am a satisfied customer.

I read the wheel wells are paper thin (Car&driver), this may help!

The 2010 have the TPMS and the Guages are supposed to be retro to the 240z era. I don't like the water temp gauge, there are no blind spots in a 370 ,,, if you are going fast enough..

It tilts, gauge cluster moves with it too. Does not telescope, though.

The wheel well thing is annoying as hell, but can only be heard if you are cursing around at 10-15mph with the radio low. It is annoying though. I am thinking about DynaMating the wheel wells or soemthing around the lines.

Blind spots suck, but the mirrors more than make up for it,

WHY is there no rear windshield wiper? The 350 had one.

Any time a take a turn decently i hear the passenger seat click into a position, maybe its loose, maybe something underneath it, hits the rails, I don't know, but it sucks.

On board computer is alright, but a pain to activate, the buttons are far behind the steering wheel.

The control to change stations, is backwards, you press up for it to shift from preselect 1 to 2, and up again from 2-3. I guess its a matter of how you see numbers in your head, but its annoying.

I HAVE PLASTIC PEDALS<<< that annoys me the most.

There is a 12V port in the arm rest thing, but you need to remove the little plastic organizer shelf, then once you connect soemthing you cannot put the shelf back in. whats the point of that?

The other 12V port is under the glove box, just placed there. yeah not molded into the car, it is just placed there "oh snap we forgot another 12v port, ah, bob just glue it under the glove box, who cars" Bah annoying.

and well everything everyone else said I feel too.

an also, if you move the little lever on the right hand side, the one that controls the windshield wipers, if you move it down, you end up seeing this big hole. I guess fit and finnish was not so important, i mean 40k who cars right.

other than that great car, coming from a MINI which I still believe is the funnest car on the planet, This thing puts a smile on my face every single second.

edit: Coming out of the closet to soon on a forum.

It's there to put devices like your media player in. There's the A/V connections and iPod interface down there. You can plug all that stuff in and have it run off the car power instead it's own battery. Then you can close the center console without a problem. It's not meant to be used for devices to charge outside the center console. That's what the second 12V socket is for.

It's there for a good reason. I use it in the M35 all the time.

Dang there is a lot of complaints. Even though they are minor, but it seems there are enough to be a big one. Hopefully you guys make the complaints to nissan and if there is enough of them, they may fix the some of the problems.

ahh, the importance of the letter 't'

Maybe it is only on the Touring package but I have heated mirrors. They are activated in the defrost position.

G&M Performance · 01-26-2009, 12:15 PM

Educ8r, the TPMS comes standard with the 370Z.

At least that was what I noticed in the specs. Can anyone elaborate?

Its a passive system that illuminates a light when a tire gets below a preset point as opposed to an active system that displays the exact pressures at all times.
