my fav repair on my 09 was the 25-day dealer adventure where they tore apart the entire dash to figure out what module was making the high pitched ECU whine. Told the dealer "it's the ECU". Got to ride around in a bomb *** Chrysler 300 for close to a month while they "diagnosed the issue". Ended up being... the ECU. Finally replaced the part.
this was before the short block change that required four visits to establish that 1.5 quarts magically disappearing every 1k miles was probably the engine burning oil. one black exhaust tip and the other one being spotless was a hint.
followed that up with a vvel sensor issue after the block replacement causing irregular idle and engine stuttering. had major hesitation from what may have been the brake sensor switch thing. clutch slave replaced under goodwill during the short block swap. pulled the steering lock fuse before it had a chance to die.
good times in the 09, would recommend again
it's funny... by the time Nissan fixes the issues, they discontinue the car. the 08 350z was perfect.
I'm sure the '14 is going to be a banner year before whatever it is comes out in (hopefully) 12-14 months.
BUT HEY IM NOT BITTER OR ANYTHING.
