NHTSA Complaint #11073760 — 2009 NISSAN 370Z

THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK DEVICE HAS BEEN FAILING DAILY.I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MARCH OF 2014 AND I HAVE ALL OF THE PAPERWORK THAT SHOWS THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOOK IT TO AUTONATION NISSAN CHANDLER AND UNDER RECALL P3208 IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IN 2013. I DIDN'T EVEN OWN THE CAR TIL 2014!THE NTB13-014 ALSO WAS ON THE INVOICE. IT SAYS THEY REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK UNIT- I HAVE SPENT OVER $20K ON MY Z ( NOT INCLUDING THE PRICE OF THE CAR, AND I CAN'T EVEN GET LARRY H MILLER NISSAN TO TAKE CARE OF IT. THEY WANT $1500. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW LARRY H MILLER NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS AND NEW THE DATES IT WAS 'FIXED' AT THE OTHER DEALERSHIP, AND FAILED TO NOTIFY ME WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION.I HAVE ALL MY INVOICES FOR WORK DONE,AND A NISSAN W 44,000 MILES HAS HAD ENDLESS PROBLEMS -PLEASE HELP. I AM DISABLED, AND THIS IS A HUGE FINANCIAL BURDEN FOR ME,I REALLY HAD A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN NISSAN TAKING CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS - IT SEEMS THAT ISN'T THE CASE- ON JUNE 27 I GOT INTO A SMALL ACCIDENT AND IT ENDED UP COSTING GEICO $14,850.35 - WHEN THEY BROUGHT IT BACK THE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HAD GOTTEN LOOSE SINCE IT'S LOCATED UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE GAS TANK AND IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH 370 Z'S AND THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR IT ALSO THE CAR IS RIDING A LOT LOWER TO THE GROUND THAN IT EVER WAS THE BLACK BUMPER GUARD AT THE VERY BOTTOM IS ALL SCRAPED UP AND THAT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE SO EITHER THE FRONT SHOCKS OR STRUTS ARE LOWER THAN BEFORE. I LOVE MY Z AND I'VE PUT OVER $40,000 INTO IT AND NOW I CAN'T GET PEOPLE TO DO WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO BECAUSE THEY 'DON'T WANT TO' THE PEOPLE WHO FIX YOUR CAR'S KNOW ABOUT ALL OF THESE CONSISTENT PROBLEMS & THEY SHOULD FIX THEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX PROBLEMS THAT ARISE WITH THE SAME MODEL.I HAD TO HAVE MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER CALL JUST TO GET THE FUEL PUMP FIXED. NISSAN WANTED ME TO PAY FOR IT
