does anyone else have this problem and what should I do?

JakeZ34 · 10-08-2009, 06:12 PM

Hey I just picked up a Brilliant Silver 370Z from a dealership on Sunday 10/04/09. And I've noticed that sometimes when I'm cruising up to the red light putting the gear into N and slowly step on the brake only to find that the steering wheel turns towards the left and my car would start turning that way and I have to pretty much manhandle the steering back to straight. Anyone have this problem too and what should I do? take it back to dealer? It only happened 3 times so it's not like I can show them on cue.

Does it happen on the same road? if the road is sloped one way it might happen under heavy braking. Mine does that coming to a stop if the road is crappy - I wouldnt think its anything "wrong" - we are dealing with a pretty light car with really good brakes.

Read this thread, particularly my post on Tramlining..

Braking and car moves strangely.

Check your air pressure in your tires I heard they ship from Japan with the tires over pressured so they are not flat when they reach the USA
