Question about common problems

Glambutang · 01-20-2013, 09:40 AM

Hey so I am planning getting the 370 soon, was wondering if there are common problems that I have to be ready for? Like my accord has rear deck rattle and apparently 95% of the cars from the factory have this problem.

1. Steering lock failure(09-11 models).

2. Clutch pressure(CSC) failure.

3. Fuel Starvation.

4. Thin paint.

5. New members can't find the search button.

Paint is thin, and some have oil consumption issues up to 2010 I think? I have had zero problems with my Z so far knock on wood.

I got problems 1 and 2 within a month, I feel special

Also fuel starvation is only a problem if your racing the car on a track with low fuel.

I've seen people reported this problem when he was making a sharp turn on a local public road. But yes it happens when the fuel is low.

Yea so have I but only on this forum. I have actually driven my car with the gas light on making sharp turns left and right on and off on ramps trying to duplicate the issue but I never even got a cough so I don't know. Its also a problem never reported by any of my local Z friends or shops some who even race their Z's on the track.

Rather than worry about common issues because that can be found all over, focus on all the great mods you can do to the car. That's more fun in my book.

If you are racing, you will run out at 3/4. If you are on the street, 1/4 will probably doom you.
