Btw, TW -- in spite of my admittedly snarky tone above (I haven't had my coffee yet), I am happy for you that you got this fixed. I'm sure it was annoying that your car did what it did, not to mention a little unnerving. In fact, I think this confirmed diagnosis is quite significant in that it's the first confirmed incident of SRM malfunctioning (isn't it?). To be honest, I'm quite surprised that we haven't seen more cases of SRM malfunctioning sooner. It's new technology, after all, and the 09 370Z is the first implementation of this new tech. When I got my Z with the sport pkg., part of me felt that I was taking a big gamble getting a car with a brand new feature that isn't on any other cars yet. I have to say that overall I'm very pleased with how well SRM has held up after owning my Z for over a year. But now that we have our first confirmed case of SRM going bad, we'll need to keep a more watchful eye on this, I think.
