Yeah I'm just gonna keep posting pics everyday. Looks like we are in the same boat. I'm gonna file a complaint with the bbb if I don't hear back from Nissan today. I'm going to write a letter as well. I was going to email the local news hear too. I'm sure they don't like the negative posts on their FB page so if we keep posting hopefully something will happen

If you go to www.safecar.gov and file a complaint, it increases the chances of it being recalled, but they also post a list of all the complaints to http://www.faqs.org/car/Nissan-370z/steering/ I just saw my complaint posted today, I'm going to print this list and use it in my letter, probably paste this to Nissans FB page later tonight too.

Well, some good news and bad news. Spoke with Executive member Elise today who advised that they will not be reimbursing me for anything.

Good news, I complained for a week to the dealership and spoke with the owner also, he contacted his sales rep *Mike Cook, who is supposed to cover the part, they are going to waive the diagnostic fee and I pay for labor.

Yes, I know that's good. But at the same time, I shouldn't have to pay anything nor should anyone else. I'm still going to write my letter and continue to post on their Facebook.

I haven't been part of this community for very long, but we seem diligent in getting something done about a real problem with the car! Keep up the good work everyone. I will post my info the websites, but I don't have Facebook! Keep fighting the good fight all.

Nissan called me today because of my Facebook complaints. Same supervisor Sara that I talked to before, told me nothing had changed. I filed a complaint with the department of agriculture consumer affairs. More blasting of Nissan on Facebook when I get home tonight

Mine is still there and it looks like Kate Hazelwood has joined the campaign.
