How many miles on your Z? I am still waiting on my failure.

Nick911sc · 02-23-2012, 11:46 AM

These threads keep scaring me so much... I'd like to pretend it's not going to happen to me...

how i'm handling it! lol

flashburn · 02-23-2012, 12:37 PM

I'm at 42,000 miles now, expecting it to happen any day now at this rate.

Damn Kev, I'm sorry to hear that your Z is another in the ever-increasing list of Z's that are being taken out by this part. I'm hoping for a recall.

It's so unfortunate, but quite likely you will be waiting a minimum of two to four weeks.

Mr. Onzedge, how long did yours take to get replaced?

It took about 2 1/2 weeks. Waiting for the part accounted for almost all of the lead time.

flashburn · 02-23-2012, 02:16 PM

Wow, that is an insane amount of time to wait. I'm guessing since I'm out of warranty, I'd be up ***** creek as far as getting a loaner car from Nissan too.

Maybe the part availability has improved. R and R on the part takes all of 10 minutes.

kevr6 · 02-23-2012, 02:37 PM

My mileage is 42k and I have the part onroute for later today arrival!! I will install tomorrow!! If that doesn't solve the issue then I'll be forced to tow to Nissan down the road from me!!
Props to R.Mayer towing!! They have a bending flat bed and they hooked my car this morning and brought it over to the dealership lot where I work which is gated!! Ask for Jodie, he knows lowered vehicles and was extremely careful!!

flashburn · 02-23-2012, 02:40 PM

I guess I'm just going to hold out hope that this turns into an actual recall soon since the part is "restricted" right now. If nothing happens in the next month or so, I'll probably just try to get the part myself. Ridiculous.

Spikuh · 02-23-2012, 02:43 PM

I think I may just go ahead and replace mine before I get stuck on the road somewhere. I can't stand the idea of an unnecessary tow.

flashburn · 02-23-2012, 02:45 PM

Wish the part wasn't so ******* ridiculously expensive though. Isn't it ~$450?

Super Red Z · 02-23-2012, 02:55 PM

I happened to me last week. I have 36300 miles on miles. But after one hours I went back to my house to get a spare key, it works normal.I almost tow my car. That suck.

SPOHN · 02-23-2012, 02:55 PM

Id like to find out if you can bypass this unit? Requardless of a bad bunch one day all these units will fail.
