Yes, I too would like the dealer to replace all those parts that wear out too soon from off road use e.g. brakes, rotors, tires, oil, filters, etc. Where do you draw the line? Nissan and all other car manufacturer's have drawn the line at the point where beyond normal use is defined as off road use and will not be covered under warranty (if you're found out or the computer recorded data that would indicate off road use at the time of failure).

As for false advertising, the coolers were installed for the test cars because the test cars were to be used/abused on the track by the automotive journalsits. Just the same as some of the guys in here who track/race their cars and have installed coolers. It's a no brainer. Hyundai advertises their Genisis Coupe by drifting it around a closed course track. Using the same logic for advertising, should the GC owners expect their tires to last the same milage as they would under normal use? Or how about a newly licensed driver who goes to the track to do some drifting with his new, as advertised, GC and kills himself in turn one? Do his loved ones have a right to sue because the car should drift as advertised?

I too hope to get a free oil cooler from Nissan if it is proven whatever it is the group is trying to prove - potential for engine failure or false advertising or ??? Good luck - you'll need it.
