About to take Z in for warranty issues. Anything I should mention?

Funkdoobiest · 08-17-2014, 06:42 AM

Got both windows catching the weatherstrip at top upon opening. Also got intermittent tire pressure sensor light going off. Any other common issues I should mention? It's a 2012 sport touring nav.

Yeap, your tires are low on pressure. When they are cold, they will trip the light. (Pressure drops) Make sure to set the tire pressure to the pressure in the door jam for front and rear. The TPMS is working properly.

I've actually got one doing the same and the pressure is dead on. Hot or cold it goes off for about 30 minutes here and there and don't see it again until a few months later. Kinda weird.

Nope tire pressure is dead on. In fact just got new rear tires and they used that sticker for proper tire pressure. Found out a few people have this problem. The light always comes on after driving in hotter weather which will actually make the pressure to up.

Fuel gauge LEDs all light up.

I had an issue with my passenger window catching on the weather stripping. When I took it to the dealer, they said that it was window tint getting caught down in the door (the previous owner must have had the windows tinted). They said that they got it all out, but it still catches sometimes.

does applying water based dressing on the seal help?

i dont have glass catching on my Z or G, but i apply prima nero every season to keep it nice and crack free, and doesnt smear on the glass.

It is a sensor issue. If you make it to 5 years, you are lucky. The batteries die after that. Traded in my Maxima with the light glaring LOL.

Steering lock?
CSC, just in case.

No steering lock on '12. The car came with no tint and had this issue. My buddy noticed right away and he has a G37. We went and looked at his and his go down sooner and noticeable farther down. Feels awful. Eventually it'll will get worn down. It's bad enough where the glass shakes upon opening like it gets flicked by the weatherstrip. My buddy's '11 Z does the same on the driver side but not on the passenger. But he had it replaced because somebody broke into it.

I remember back in my BMW coupe ownership days that there was multiple adjustments for the windows. One of them being how high or low the glass would be when in open position IE when the handle is pressed to open door how far it dropped. I bet if they set this a little lower then it wont catch. The torx screw would increase or decrease the window pane height.
