1 Suspension Noise problem

Failure Date: 05/30/2005

In April 2005 I purchased a Nissan 350zx from david mcdavid Nissan in houston texas. I'm extremely disappointed the fact that the pre owned vehicle I purchase had previously been in a wreck. I wouldn't of known of this situation. I not taken the car in for service during memorial weekend, reason being the front suspension is making pop noise it seems it comes from motor mounts or joints, cracking noise in the rear right tire and the back right brake also squeaks. Had dan aldrich of the your service department not mention the car was in a wreck I would of never known. I told him how could that be if I just purchase the car back in April. I could not believe david mcdavid could sell pre owned vehicle under these conditions. I have sent the dealer customer service email with no reply.

2 Suspension Noise problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2005

1. Purchased 2004 Nissan 350z March 2004. By September 2004 and with only 9,000 miles, the car was experiencing a loud grinding sound upon application of the brake. The local dealership determined this was a suspension problem causing the tires to cup or feather and wear prematurely. The local dealership replaced both front tires and did an alignment. I was told the 2003 model 350z had this problem but that it had been remedied. Obviously this problem has not been addressed properly as the same problem continues with the 2004 model. My car now has only 18,000 miles with only 9,000 of those miles on my new front tires, and the same problem has reoccurred. Customer service with Nissan's 800 number says my car is beyond the 12 month/12,000 mile warranty and they won't do anything. What should my next step be?.
