  • Electrical system faults — encompassing no-crank/no-start conditions, fuel pump and sensor failures (P0183, P0462 codes), window regulator failures, bizarre turn signal behavior, and Body Control Module (BCM) failures. Frequency: very frequent.
  • Oil consumption — specifically associated with the '05-'07 "Rev-Up" (DE) engine variant, described as a common and significant problem. Frequency: very frequent.
  • Overheating — difficult to diagnose issues potentially related to air in the cooling system, faulty thermostats, or underlying problems not easily identified. Frequency: recurrent.
  • Random stalling/limp mode — intermittent engine cut-out or reduced power, sometimes linked to throttle position sensor codes but not definitively diagnosed. Frequency: recurrent.
  • Window regulator/auto-function failure — windows failing to auto-up/down, requiring regulator reset or replacement. Frequency: recurrent.

Owner insights cover all generations of the 350Z.
