No, this was actually a single accident due to a guy using SUV floor mats that were too large for the pedal cut outs. Pedal got stuck on the matt. 100% of that whole Toyota safety fiasco was all BS.

I fortunately have also not had any of the OP's problems.

As an aside, isn't strange that the government was bailing out GM and Chrysler and at the same time the NTSB (the government) and the media (possibly corrupted by the said government) made a huge deal out of it?
Just saying...

Holy slabadoo!

These cars are made up of thousands of parts that have taken mankind untold hours to research, design, and produce. Even with the highest quality control standards by the sheer number of vehicles, parts, and processes to put it all together things are eventually going to break. It is a miracle these things work as well they do. Take a course in mathematical probability and it will open a whole new way of viewing the world.

The 370Z is pure sex! It is hot, loud, and rough!

Are you intending to be condescending?

FL 4Motion · 12-08-2011, 10:03 PM

well, tbh, I'd be pissed and frustrated too just like th OP. OP, sorry you've had to go thru this twice now, on the bright side of things, at least it sounds like your dealership is doing right by you which is always a good thing and unfortunately with nissan, seems to be a rare thing.

That said, I wouldn't necessarily throw the baby out with the bathwater and condemn the whole brand, wife and I have owned at least 8 different nissan vehicles and all of them have been reliable, very good cars/suvs. a few minor problems here and there but nothing major (knock on wood).

The steering wheel lock mechanism failure has left many on this forum standed. It's something that Nissan should have recalled.

Seriously OP, lighten up. Stuff happens, and something as trivial as getting your cheeseburger right is hardly worth the aggravation. Have them fix it and move on.
