370z Complaints so far?

Burnrubber101

Yes i have the same problem, i also hear a noise when the clutch is pushed and i put it in 1st gear(while the clutch is down) it a makes a high pitch sound. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM???

ZAtLeast

I test drove the Z twice and both cars make some wierd noise when I push in the clutch while the car is almost at a stop. I have to say the clutch is really a weak point of the car. Its very difficult to engage smoothly and I've been driving a stick all my life. Maybe it just takes some getting used to?

In the mornings before the motor is warm, I get a high pitch when the clutch is pressed all the way down. Especially when I put it in revers to back out from the garage.

Anyone know what that might be????
Other than that, I think its overall much better than my 350z 2008 I traded for the 370Z, just miss the awesome sound form the exhaust though.

Don't know if anyone else has this issue, but I use my hatch a lot. I've gotten annoyed with having to press the open button twice whenever I want to open the hatch. One press is used to unlock and unhook the hatch, but it's as if the hydraulic lifts aren't fast enough to clear the hook, so it catches again, leaving the hatch hanging onto the latch. Press number two unhooks again and then I can open the hatch fully.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Wow, I thought I was the only one with that problem!

I am still very new in ownership, but I do not like that I cannot close the hatch without touching a painted surface. I hate (HATE) the finger marks left by closing the hatch. All I want to a handle on the underside so I can pull it down without touching the outside. Maybe it is there and I cannot see it.

And I dislike the HUGE import tax here in PR.

I agree with this as well, this is a big problem when you have a black car and live in a dusty environment.

Same complaint here. Even my RSX had a handle inside the hatch. What I do as a workaround is use my index finger and pull down on the latch ring. Wipe off any grease from the ring first and after a few tries you'll get a feel for how much force you need to overcome the hydraulics without slamming the hatch.

I guess that makes three of us.

Strange- I actually only have to press it once. If the car is locked, as long as your key is nearby you just press the right button once. I never use the first lock/unlock button on the left.

Zof9i6

yea me too. i never push the left side one. i always push the right side one. i push and hold for about a second or two and it opens.

I don't think that is what he is talking about. From what I gather the right button is only pressed once but the hatch struts have become weak and do not pop the hatch fast enough to clear the latch. The hatch is now cracked open and not free from the latch. So, the right button has to be pressed again to free and open the hatch.

I have the same problem plus the condensation in the tail light and a rattle after warmup coming from under the car. It sounds like the heat shields rattling or something.

These are all minor problems and will be fixed under warrantee.

Passenger side?
