To understand why there is not widespread displeasure with Nissan or the 370Z:

Most of us don't have the noise issue - my guess is that Nissan knows it's a real problem and is working to fix it. They just don't have a fix yet and probably don't want a public relations issue like Toyota is having right now, so they just bought yours back (which is what they
should do).

Huh? They
have a fix for it - the TSB has even been posted on this site. I went to a local dealer a few weeks ago and they ordered the replacement springs and installed them.

I kept telling them it was a high pitch noise and they would still only send out the maintenance manager who was 60 years old and talked the entire them and wouldn't shut up long enough to listen for it. Or the dealer manager who opened the door and sat in the car for 10 seconds and then got out. I told him it doesn't make the noise unless your driving and he said he didn't have time to go for a ride. Or how about the dealership who told my wife she knows nothing about cars and that is a normal noise all cars make and to send her husband in so they could explain it.
All this happened at 3 local dealers, so please tell me WHY I should buy another Nissan?

Because those aren't examples of Nissan mistreating you, although you were definitely not treated right. And your wife should have told that dealership to shove it where the sun don't shine. But the examples you gave were of
independently owned Nissan dealerships being stupid - not Nissan Corporation. And do you really think that there are no Ford (or Dodge, or Chevy, or ...) dealerships that mistreat their customers? C'mon, be realistic...
Edit: Just wanted to add that the dealership that I bought my 370Z from was absolutely great! They dealt with me fairly, and followed through on everything they agreed to. Clearly, all dealerships are not created equal - that's why you should consider buying another Nissan in the future.
In any event, I'm glad that in the end it's been worked out to your satisfaction - best wishes with your next ride!
