Fuel starvation, who else?

cossie1600

Well, looks like a new gas tank didn't fix my problem. I am done with these Nissan intermittent BS. Time for a new car

wait, I thought you were getting a new tank cause that little baffle thingy broke off?? New tank is defective? OR are you just tired of the fuel starve issue??

cossie1600

I have been having an issue where my car acts like it is fuel starving driving on the street. The problem is that it can be at any RPM, any gear or any speed. It is all random in nature. The car's been down on and off for the past month for one reason or another. I am sick of dealing with it. There is nothing I hate more than an unreliable/untrustworthy car. I would rather take my losses and not deal with this piece of poop. You don't know how many times i have pleaded to the dealer that there is a hesitation, yet nothing will pop up during the test drive. I am hoping I can figure out the problem, but I honestly am about to trade this thing in and call it a day. I don't want to jack this thread, but I am absolutely done with these annoying random problems. ARGGGG

You've seen this thread? Similar to these issues? Gas Pedal Delay

damn man, I am sorry to hear, I didn't realize you were having all /\ these issues on top of the on track fuel starve thing. I don't blame you at all for wanting to dump the car. I'm the same way, once I've lost faith in a car, it's like a switch goes off and I HAVE to get rid of it asap regardless of cost.

You gonna stay with a Z or do you have something else in mind??

No, this is my last time with nissan. (I have a Cube too). I have a better chance of seeing god than to get help from the nissan dealers. I am f-ing done. I hope it blows up when I drive it this weekend so I can just shove it to the dealer and let them deal with it. I wouldn't be so pissed if the problem is something that you can see or know what it is, I am currently dealing with 20 million possibility and I am not sure where to even start. I first thought it was the pedal switch, then fuel, now I found out it might be a dreaded electrical problem. The whole point of OBDII is to make things simple to track these f-ing sensors, yet it doesn't work in my situation. Go figures.

I am probably going to a dedicated race car for track (cheap one), probably a car in the low teens for autox or something. I need a car 3 days a week when the Prius isn't available.

Sorry to see it go, but I would do the same.

These kinds of problems are extremely frustrating. If you want to force the dealer into action then it might be worth opening a case with Nissan Consumer Affairs, they might be able to persuade them into a longer test drive to replicate the problem, especially if you tell them you are ditching the car if the problem can't be found.

I have done that with Nissan previously. Heck, I even went into arbitration with them on my 350. I love the car, but trust me I can't stand the cheap a-holes at Nissan. I am going to play with it once more this weekend. If it doesn't work, I am just going to give up. I already wasted a couple tanks of gas driving around trying to see what the hell the problem is by logging data and running different things. It's really hopeless as there are so many things I have to look into.

I went in for a rattle and showed them exactly where it's coming from and both times, different dealers, absolutely ignored anything I said and tried an easy BS "fix" that had nothing to do with the location it was coming from and that I had already told them was tried and tested. Bunch of morons indeed.

I used to own an Audi and they used to just stop short of licking my balls when I'd go in for service. And just last week I took my Fiancee's civic into the Honda dealer for a TSB fix on the visor and her rear light was out so they replaced it for FREE. New visor, working light, 30 minutes at 2pm on a saturday. The car isn't even under warranty!! WTF Nissan?!

Here is a DIRECT quote from the service manager on my 350. It's a sports car, they all rattle, get used to it.

When my old Mercedes had an electrical problem, the dealership gave us a new C class for a full month while they took their time to fix a problem that would only occur once a morning during a cold start. I think the BJ was an optional service they charge me down the street, but the treatment you get from Nissan is nowhere close. Heck, I got better service from my Chevy dealer....

I took my old 350 into Gwinnett Place Nissan because the seat cloth was fraying (tsb). They sent it to an outside subcontractor who subsequently backed it into a truck and bent one of my iforged rims and the rear qtr panel and bumper. They told me to deal with the sub, not their problem and washed their hands of it. Sad thing for them, I had just come back from a frontier test drive and was gonna have my wife drive the car home while I did paperwork. Not!!!
