370z common problems

11Thumper · 08-18-2011, 07:06 PM

For me (in 5 months of ownership and 2,800 miles)...

1. Diver foot rest (small aluminum part) is some weak piece just there for looks. I put too much pressure on it and it bent. Looks like crap now.

2. A couple places where paint has peeled from plastic pieces where they mate against the sheet metal. Want dealer to fix but they'll probably just dab touch up paint on there.

3. Oil temps. This summer I've run about 220 degrees just freeway driving and if I have to climb a grade it hits 250 degrees easily. No, I'm not heavy on the pedal and yes, oil level is perfect.

4. I get some kind of wind noise on driver side pillar (by windshield) and it's very annoying.

5. The AT shifts pretty quick in manual mode but the 2-3 shift is sluggish. Not really a problem just annoying.
