Stuck on the freeway

DEpointfive0

It IS a design flaw, but if you know it's there, why wouldn't you avoid it?

I KNOW tasers hurt, but I keep playing with one

Why does he have to avoid it when he bought and payed for a car that isnt suppose to brake down on him and leave him stranded. How about nissan gets there **** together and fix this problem via recall. Or money back.

I payed for 4 tires but only 3 work.

My daily commute is 45 miles, burns up a little more than 2.5 gallons per day. I can hit fuel starve 5 gallons into a fuel load. So you saying I need to fill up every two days in order to avoid fuel starve or roll onto the highway backward to avoid the right turns? Sorry I have to work and I have family to see, I am not wasting time pumping every two days. It's clearly a design flaw. Guys who have never experienced always talk trash. As if it is not bad enough to spend 30k on a car to have the steering lock failing, now you add this to the mix and it just makes it more fun.

Oh yeah there is the motherfucking clutch bearing that makes more noise than the engine, should I keep my foot on the clutch at all times to avoid the noise too?

I don't mean to argue with anyone here honestly, I respect 99.999999% of all of you, and I hope no one is taking it as that, just trying to have a conversation. (Not trying to single you out PureSwank, just saying in general)


Why do I have to avoid doing 5 autoX runs in a row because my power steering fluid will boil, why can't I drive the car hard without the oil boiling over in 5 minutes, why does the brake fluid boil so quickly that the car won't stop on a track? Why does my clutch get spongy and stick after a few track days, even under normal aggressive driving, how shítty is this CSC?


Lets break it down, power steering fluid doesn't boil for 99% of users, oil doesn't get to 260+ for 99% of users, and brake fluid doesn't boil for 99% of users.
The "oil cooler" and brake fluid "upgrades" were done YEARS after the car was released, and mainly due to bad press, and the bad press for the brake fluid and pads was from 2009!
They make cars for the 99%, not the 1% who are very aggressive drivers or who are more comfortable taking a long banking right at like 50MPH with 3-5 gallons of the tank left of a 19 gallon tank.

Recall, I doubt, I'd put money against, until every member calls 1-800-Nissan1 and says they're stuck on a freeway on ramp, then maybe. Until then, hell no.
(Mike, if you read this, I respect you more than a lot of other members, but when you got fuel starve at 15 out of 16 dots, that doesn't mean anything to me personally, I know my gauge, (if it ever shows full) takes almost 100 miles to drop a dot, and you get 4-5MPG on the track, meaning you filled it and within 5-6 miles you fuel starved)

Why aren't we trying to fight a more prevalent problem like the CSC that is made of plastic and gives out anywhere from 10-50k miles. And that requires the transmission to be dropped? What about, the fuel gauge issue, does ANYONE's work properly? Better yet still!!! What about the shítty paint?!?!?! Why do I have to put ugly clear bra on my car for $1000 when I just spent $40k on a car? Recall? Buy back?
The clear bra costs as much as the fix for the fuel pump, and you might be able to install it yourself, while the clear bra takes more finesse, but no one is gunning for Nissan for that. (All I'm saying is that if we're holding them accountable for this $1000, or that $1000 or that $500 or whatnot, make sure you hold them accountable for ALLLLLLLL the problems)

I think the CSC problem way more a PIA than fuel starve, and didn't someone fix fuel starve with a coffee can?

So, recall, I doubt, TSB, I doubt unless people complain enough, even then, I don't see a solution (maybe change the fuel pump if it had been run dry a few times)

Guys, see if from a cost/business point of view, it isn't worth the money to do a recall, if it effects 100 people Nissan doesn't give a fùck, they have bigger fish to fry. It isn't the majority, and it will take so much more money to fix, it isn't worth the hassle, plain and simple. Now, if you want to argue with me that why would Nissan NOT want to appease customers, again, it isn't worth the money, and as a company, NISSAN doesn't NEED you, the dealer might want you, but Nissan doesn't need you, sorry to break it to you guys like that.



Going forward, want a solution, call corporate, tell them you fuel starved, get everyone on the forum to do so, MAYYYYBE you'll get that TSB. (This is a hypothetical, and GOD FORBID it happens to anyone here, but) Want your recall quickly, fuel starve and get killed or badly injured and have it on the news, that'll get a recall quick, remember the Toyota thing that wasn't even Toyota's fault? They got the recall in a week (the guy was lying btw)


Again, not trying to be the àsshole here, I'd buy you all a beer if I could (I bought a beer for a member who I've never talked to because I saw on the calendar that it was his birthday, lol), you're all considered family in my books. I'm just calling it the way I see it.

This.
I usually fill up around 3 dots, but I have taken to 1 a few times (not proud of that) and I have never had an issue with fuel starvation. If you drive like an F1 driver, then don't go below half to 1/4 of a tank. Simple as that. It is a 19 gallon tank after all.

People, like Cossie say that they can hit fuel starve after 5 gallons used, so 14 to go.
(again, not trying to single people out, it's just an example on this page)

I agree. And its a sad fact. I know that if something were to happen like that to me for no damn reason and i dont auto cross or track, but ended up stranded in some highway because of THIS issue. Nissan and the dealership would have a hell of a fight coming too them. WWIII Type of ****.

I'll take the beer though. Ship to 513 area code.

Honestly, do it, give them hell if you want to invest the time, lie and call corporate, if a solution is going to occur, it will happen because you and others call in.

Need help, or pointers or suggestions when calling, my number is whore'd out alllllllll over the forum, call or text me (text preferred, then I'll call you, or leave a message, I don't pick up unknown numbers)

If they would have just put a 1/4 in tube to balance fuel level on both sides of the tank we would never have this problem...ever! Too bad when they redesigned these they didnt' keep the same tank as the 350.

Sorry to hear CB.


I bought a new maytag fridge for 1500 and it broke in 6 months needing a new compressor.
I was the idiot for buying a maytag. maytag, you f-king suck!

Cbtech you should have text bro. If I’m not mistaken that’s right buy Centerfolds 20 min away from me. I would have helped out a fellow stranded Z. So what ended up happening what’s the outcome.
