2009 Nissan GT-R Complaints

THE LED LIGHTS IN THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE CLUSTER HAVE GONE OUT. IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND THEY REMAIN OUT. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUES IN MANY OF THE FORUMS. ALTHOUGH THEY HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY AT ONE POINT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT SILL NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. HERE IS ONE OF THE LINKS TO ONE OF THE THREADS: HTTP://WWW.GTRLIFE.COM/FORUMS/TOPIC/44110-OFFICIAL-NAGTROC-GAUGE-LIGHT-OUT-THREAD/

IT IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE FOR THESE GUAGE CLUSTERS TO GO OUT AND IT REQUIRES A $2000 REPLACEMENT. NISSAN WOULD NOT HONOR MY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

THE NHTSA HAS BANNED MANY CARS FROM THE U.S. INCLUDING MANY SOUGHT BY PRIVATE COLLECTORS AND CITIZENS ALIKE, OFFERING LITTLE TO NO EXPLANATION, AND DOES NOT OFFER A LIST OF VEHICLES WITH EXPLANATIONS ON THEIR WEBSITE. WHILE MY COMPLAINT IS NOT ABOUT A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE, IT DOES CONCERN THE NHTSA, AND I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THE REASONING BEHIND THE FIGHT AGAINST DOMESTIC VEHICLES. NOTE: VEHICLES ON LIST MEET STANDARDS AND HAVE NEWER MODELS ON THE ROAD IN THE U.S SUCH AS THE 2009 NISSAN GT-R R35 (SKYLINE) ALTHOUGH THE 1999 SKYLINE R34 GT-T. *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AGO, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT WITH THE CAR IDLING, WE WOULD HEAR A SLIGHT RATTLING NOISE. BUT EVERY TIME WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, WHICH IS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM OUR HOUSE, THE NOISE WAS NOT THERE OR NOT ENOUGH TO BRING IT INTO SHOP TO BE CHECKED OUT SO NOTHING WAS EVER DOCUMENTED. THE NOISE WAS INTERMITTENT BECAUSE IT WAS THE EARLY STAGES OF THE "RATTLE FROM THE FLYWHEEL HOUSING" CONDITION. ONE TIME MY HUSBAND BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WITHOUT CHECKING IT IN LET THE GTR TECH HEAR A RECORDING HE MADE OF THE NOISE WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING. THE TECH RESPONSE WAS THAT THE SOUND DID APPEAR TO BE THE INFAMOUS "FLY WHEEL HOUSING RATTLE," BUT WHEN HE HEARD THE CAR RUNNING AT THAT TIME, THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WAS NOT OCCURRING AND HE REPLIED TO THE SLIGHT NOISES WE WERE HEARING AS NORMAL TO THIS CARS DESIGN. NOW THE NOISE IS WORSE BECAUSE THIS CONDITION DEVELOPED TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS NO LONGER INTERMITTENT. ON 11/25/13 MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN...

SHIFTING FROM 3RD GEAR TO 4TH GEAR, UNDER ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION THEN LET GO. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I NO LONGER HAD GEARS 2-4-6. CALLED A TOW TRUCK.
