I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH (AFTER THE FACT) AND LEARNED MANY PAOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL/YEAR. THE MOST TRAGIC CASE IS THE FUEL LINES NEEDING REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT I WAS LUCKY NOT TO BE A BALL OF FLAMES DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE! THAT IS VERY DISTRUBING. THIS VEHICLE IS TOO YOUNG TO HAVE SUCH MAJOR COMPONENT FAILURES!! VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE (WHICH WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM IF THE CAR WAS "OVER THE HILL") BUT THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 95K ON IT. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO THE FUEL LINE ISSUE.*AK

AT 50 MPH I HIT A STOPPED CAR WITH LESS THAN A SECONT TO BRAKE,THE IMPACT WAS FRONT CENTER OF MY 300ZX,AND NO AIRBAG ACTUATED,WHY NOT?*AK
- Tires
WHEN DRIVING ALL FOUR TIRES BLEW OUT AND THE SUSPENSION NEEDED TO BE REALIGNED. PLEASE DESCRIBE .*AK
