redwolfmendoz.. It is the alternator. Same thing happened to my 350Z when I bought it new years ago. The dealer replaced the alternator for me under the warranty.

This and that is it. Of curse you should of taken it when the problem started. But either way its under warranty.

Update: I got a call from Nissan Consumer affairs. Nice of them to call me and leave a voicemail 2 minutes before end of business day. Anyways, I should be able to get a ruling today.
I did my research on The California Lemon Law. Before I can pull that card, it states that a) there must have been more than one repair attempt by the manufacturer or b) must have been out of service (while at the manufacturer) for at least 30 days. So far they haven't even touched it, because they want to get paid and it's only been 7 days. This is a sad turn of events for a diehard Nissan fanboy...

Update: Just got off the phone with Stillen. The dude there says they haven't heard any issues with any of their products voiding any of Nissan's Warranty. Also says "if anything it might be a blown MAF Sensor, but since the Service Advisor at Santa Monica Nissan and his team say they aren't able to get a response from the computer it wouldn't the the intake's fault anyway. It's just a set of pipes, flanges and filters. No wiring required."
Also tried calling the Nissan Consumer Affairs rep back just now. She game me a bad extension. Anyways, someone else at NCA said the first rep updated my case saying that she wasn't able to reach the service dept at Santa Monica Nissan... ??? So I guess they're gonna try and contact me again in 2 days? Or maybe the service advisor is ******* me (and my rep) around. I have a shattered knee from snowboarding. Walking 6 miles to work sucks. The only way to get around here is by bus or walking. Parking is a biatch. But Nissan won't offer a rental until they determine something IS IN FACT covered by the warranty (and even then they said the rental is for 1 day)... ANGRY. RAGE. GOING TO SUE. COLLECTING TESTIMONIES AT THE MOMENT. Last edited by redwolfmendoz; 09-28-2010 at 04:11 PM. Reason: typos |

sorry to hear about your troubles. being without your z sucks.
anyway if it's under factory warranty your covered. that dealership is full of --it! stand your ground. and once you get your car fixed right spread the word about those crooks. tell anyone who will listen,news bbb,etc. then write a letter to the GM at the dealer and tell them to kiss your -ss. |

Update: 8 days after towing my baby to the dealer.
No response from anyone at Nissan Consumer Affairs. I've been given 4 bad phone numbers/extensions for who to call. NCA says they can't reach anyone at the service dept, service department not calling me back. And each time NCA leaves a voicemail (because they like to call at 5:59pm PST) they say they'll follow up with me in 2 business days. I've since dusted off my old 2001 Ford Focus (meaning I took it back from my dad lol). It's crap-tacular but it beats walking. I thought of Lemon Lawing my car maybe to get all my money back (and close the loan on it) and using that money to patch up my Z32. I thought about calling up the service dept and just telling them to go ahead with the diagnostic, hoping that the warranty will reimburse me - but they can't do anything until NCA gives a ruling. Why does this have to be so difficult? |

Isn't offering a warranty and not honoring it fraud? Would a call to the attorney general help?
