i was trying to carefully go over my tires just last night on my '04. I believe it may be starting (I've read that if you run your finger clockwise over the treads, it feels smooth, but run it counterclockwise, and you can feel the leading edges of tread sticking up), but its not real obvious and the tires still have a great deal of tread left on them. I'm coming up on 12K miles, myself.
 
I really wish I could get the service history on the car (bought used a couple of months ago), but I was told by my local dealer that I'd have to get that from the dealership where the previous owner took it for service. I have no idea where that may have been. My dealership did tell me that no warranty work has been performed, though.

q....I would think that any Nissan dealer would be able to pull up any service/warranty work by your VIN #. You're knowledgeable, so I'm certain you've already asked them to do that.
 
I know that any car I've owned over the past 5 years or so had the service records (at least dealer service) tied into a master data base that could be accessed anywhere in the country by any dealer.

that's what i would have thought.
 
she said she could look up warranty work, but not service work (unless it was serviced at their dealership, which it wasn't). maybe she didn't know what she was talking about or maybe its a nissan thing or maybe a dealership thing. I have no idea.

....or maybe a lazy service writer?
 
Any way to go to Nissan's WEB site and punch in the VIN# to get info?

I have this same problem with my 2004 Z. The local dealership replaced my front tires at 9,000 miles and now at 18,000 I'm hearing the same grinding noise with my tires as before. The dealership advised me to call Nissan's 800 number to file a complaint and see if Nissan would do anything. Nissan says that my car is beyond the 12 month/12,000 mile warranty and this problem with my tires is not covered under my extended warranty. What Nissan did with the 2003 Z owners was to extend their warranty for 2 yrs. The suspension problem which causes the tires to cup or feather has not been remedied. They claim they have not had many complaints from owners of the 2004s regarding this tire problem. So all you 2004 owners need to file complaints with Nissan. 1-800- Nissan 1

This really sucks! I will be looking at the new S2000 and the MX-5(Miata) now.
 
One more quesiton, how come the G35 sedan/couple do not have the same problem relating to this tire issue?

I had the 2004 touring with the tire problem. Third set of tires at 20,000. They always replaced mine. I had a letter from Nissan that there was an extended warrenty till 36,000 for the problem. I done a lemon law and it was bought back by Nissan in April for every penny that i had in it. It had 25,ooo when i returned it.

Rim Problems by krauss1989

Hello all. I got a 2006 350z in Feb 06 and I am having major problems with the rims spotting black and discoloring slightly. I've tried every chemical to try to get it off, but it almost seems as though it is coming from under the clear coat. I took it to the dealer and they said that it was environmental and that its not covered. Has anyone had this problem?
