2003 Nissan 350Z Complaints

IN 2005, I BOUGHT A 2003 NISSAN 350Z. IN EARLY NOVEMBER OF 2011, I STARTED HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE WOULD DIE SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE AND TCS LIGHTS WOULD COME ON, AND THE CAR WOULD RUN VERY ROUGH ONCE IT DID DECIDE TO START. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER ON 11/08/2011. THE MILEAGE ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE INVOICE WAS 83,906. ALONG WITH THE PROBLEMS NOTED ABOVE, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN ADDED DIAG P0340 AND C1130 STORED, LOSS OF ENGINE SIGNAL. REPLACED CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS. MY COST FOR THE REPAIR: $618.61. MY CAR HAD NOT ONE, BUT EVERY SYMPTOM OF A RECALLED CAR. THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT SENSOR (VERY SPECIFIC REPAIRS) WERE NEEDED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM; SAME AS A RECALLED VEHICLE. AFTER BRINGING THIS TO NISSAN'S ATTENTION, I WAS CONTACTED BY A REGIONAL MANAGER WHO STATED MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST AND SHE COULD NOT HELP ME.I HOPE NO OTHER VEHICLES ENGINES SHUT OFF WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2003 NISSAN 350Z. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, A VEHICLE RAN A STOP SIGN WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED EXTREME INJURIES TO THE RIGHT EYE AND A FRACTURED RIGHT ARM, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE AS SECOND OWNER WITH 24,000 MILES. AFTER A 2 YEARS OF USING THIS VEHICLE ON THE WEEKENDS, I START HEARING THE 5TH GEAR GRIND. I DID NOT PAID TO MUCH MIND BECAUSE IT DID IT NOW AND THEM, NOT EVERY TIME. 4 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, IT DID IT MORE OFTEN AND I KNEW IT WAS IN FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.. ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY 3RD GEAR MADE A VIBRATION AND A HORRIBLE SOUND AND THAT WAS WHEN I KNEW SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WAS GOING ON.. TODAY MY CAR LOST 3RD GEAR, IT WON'T TAKE, AFTER I PUT THE VEHICLE ON 3RD I ACCELERATED AND NOTHING HAPPENS. 5TH GEAR STILL GRINDS AND BUT STILL WORK. IT IS NOT MY CLUTCH BECAUSE 1ST 2ND 4TH AND 5TH AND 6TH STILL VERY STRONG PULL.. NOW I'M DRIVING THIS CAR TO WORK, GETTING MONEY TOGETHER WAITING FOR THE BREAK DOWN OR TRANSMISSION LOCK... I FEEL UNSAFE ON THE ROAD, BUT I DO HAVE TO GET TO WORK I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE AT THE TIME. I HATE MISTREATING MY Z THIS WAY.... 49,500 MILES ON THE TRANSMISSION..

I WAS DRIVING AND I BRAKED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND THE CAR CUT OFF .THE SECOND TIME I WAS BRAKING TO MAKE A TURN AND IT CUT OFF THIS TIME I HAD TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES. THE THIRD TIME I WAS AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND IT SHUT OFF AND THE FOURTH TIME I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IT SHUT OFF AND ALL FOUR TIMES THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT FOR SOME REASON ON THE FORTH TIME THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT GO OFF *TR
