UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

Hello everyone,

So I got my car back from the Nissan dealership today. They replaced the carpet and said the problem is fixed. Initially I thought maybe it was a stereo install gone bad, but in fact they said the stereo install was done well. They say that there is an A/C hose on the passenger side floor board that goes through the firewall of the vehicle. There is a grommet that goes around that hose. He said that the car wash undercarriage wash knocked that grommet loose? letting water in the floor board and shorting out electrical components.? They also told me that Nissan does not recommend automatic car washes and in the future to hand wash it. I have several things to think about now that I have it back...should I even chance keeping the car? I will speak to them tomorrow and see if by chance they have another 370z in their inventory. I will update the story as it unfolds. Thanks everyone...
