so i guess you'll never drive a car then.

Yeah, recalls happen. I'de rather have an ignition component require replacement than a transmission like my friends Acura. Or the Ford relay recall which burned down many a garage.

or a dodge durango where the wheels fall off

or a pontiac fiero that catches fire

or a ford crown vic that catches fire during rear-end collisions

etc...


this is pretty minor

vehicles with intellegent keys are recalled. No big deal.

You would have had a better point saying the service bullitin about the original 350Z's suspension wearing out.

how many miles were on them when they needed replaced?

10/20/2006 1:10:32 AM

acura has a 75k warranty on transmissions, now

10/20/2006 1:15:13 AM

You DO realize that every car company has had massive recalls at one time or another? Honda recalled nearly 1 million Accords in 1998 because of faulty wiring/fire hazard.

Toyota recalled nearly 1 million vehicles just this past May because steering wheels were breaking.

130,000 is a drop in the damn bucket.

theres a difference between an anti-theft device failing and a car not starting and a cars doors flying open at speed.

"This may cause the latch mechanism to freeze in cold weather and the door could open while the vehicle is moving, the agency said. Separately, Ford is also recalling 6,164 Escape hybrid SUVs from 2006 model year because a drivetrain shaft may fracture. If a fracture occurred, it could cause the vehicle to move, even in the park position, NHTSA said."

I doubt I'll ever buy another nissan. I love my Z32, but nissans are overpriced new and they really fuck you over on parts.

bought the car new and got a new tranny every 25K miles.

maybe if your acura had an intelligent key like nissans it wouldnt have gotten jacked

10/25/2006 12:16:33 AM

i think nissans build quality has gotten better since merging with Renault

10/25/2006 12:50:46 AM

I think nissan's build quality got better since they changed their name from Datsun...

Or by mentioning that their transmissions were absolute shit when the model first came out.
