Nissan 370Z Forum  

UPDATE** It's a done deal, Nissan is buying back my car

I'm sorry about your experience. Only a VERY handful of 370Z were affected by the ECU noise. If I recall correctly, Nissan is Swapping ECU for a newer one. There

I'm sorry about your experience. Only a VERY handful of 370Z were affected by the ECU noise. If I recall correctly, Nissan is Swapping ECU for a newer one. There IS a thread somewhere on the forum but I just can't find it at the moment (too sleepy ). They are probably going to release the TSB any time now(I'll check tonight if it's out yet or no). I'll find it and add it later. Basically any ecu ends with xxxx is being replaced with the newer one. Again, very small 09 370Zs were affected. (I do not have any problem)

As for the stuck hatch, there is already a TSB. One can simply print it out and show it to the dealer and they will order the parts for you on the spot.

TSB: 2009 nissan 370z coupe; rear hatch will not open on first push of release button

I'm sorry that your experience has not been like the most of us. Please feel free to post some pictures in our "other vehicle" section once you get the new car.

Good luck.


BTW, I'm closing this thread before it goes south

9 months I have had a car that my wife and I refuse to drive. It's so bad I rented a car when I had to drive to San Diego for business for a week. We left the car parked at my office and borrowed my parents car when they were out of town. And all during those 9 months Nissan wouldn't do a damn thing. I even told them to keep the car and just give me a rental until they had a fix, they refused.

Why should I not be bitter?

you wanted them to incur the expense of a rental for however long it took to find a fix while the car was completely operable, just had a little noise coming from the ecu/ and you think you should be bitter? Have some patience man, it's the first year of a car coming out and there is going to be minor issues that require ironing out and they won't be fixed on day 1...

Signed out and saw this response and I just had to answer it.

You don't own a business do you? Because that is not how business works. If I sold you something that had an obvious problem and I could not fix that problem it is my duty to either refund you or replace it. I can't just tell you 'ohh well, when I get to a fix I'll let you know'. So you think it was ok that Nissan made me incur that cost because the product they sold was defective? I surely hope you do not agree.

By your comment of 'it's just a noise coming from the ECU' tells me you do not have this problem and have no idea what I am talking about. So instead of listening to what I say and trying to understand you are instantly defensive for Nissan. It was not a simple noise, it was brain splitting. Listen to others who have had this problem, I am not the only one saying it. So here I am actually having the experience and having to deal with it for 9 months and here you are who have never had the problem trying to tell me it's just something minor. Do you not see something wrong with that? Do you honestly think I would rent a car to drive because of some simple noise?
