Common problems with the 2007 Nissan 350Z
NHTSA's file holds 73 owner complaints on the 2007 Nissan 350Z. Owners named the powertrain most often: 47 complaints, and half of the 35 that list a mileage came after 8,900 miles. A complaint can name more than one component.
| Component (NHTSA category) | Complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Train | 47 | 35 | 9,000 |
| Air Bags | 13 | 9 | 61,000 |
| Wheels | 5 | 5 | 46,800 |
| Fuel/propulsion System | 3 | 3 | Under 5 mileages |

Mileage when owners reported a problem with the 2007 Nissan 350Z
The 55 mileages owners gave run from 300 to 132,000 miles. A quarter are at or under 6,400 miles, half at or under 26,000, three quarters at or under 48,000 and nine in ten at or under 99,499; 4 (7%) came after 100,000 miles, none after 150,000 and none after 200,000.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2007 Nissan 350Z wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Most of these reports came early in the vehicle's life: 51 of the 55 came at or under 100,000 miles, so they say nothing about how many miles a 2007 Nissan 350Z can cover.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Lowest mileage listed | 300 miles |
| 25th percentile | 6,400 miles |
| Median (50th percentile) | 26,000 miles |
| 75th percentile | 48,000 miles |
| 90th percentile | 99,499 miles |
| Highest mileage listed | 132,000 miles |

Is the 2007 Nissan 350Z a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2007 is a good or a bad Nissan 350Z: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2007 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 73 complaints, the 2007 ranks 4th of the 6 Nissan 350Z model years from 2003 to 2008 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 2003 (275). The fewest: the 2008 (24).
Recent model years have had less time to collect complaints, so their counts are still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2003 Nissan 350Z | 275 | 213 | 12,000 |
| 2004 Nissan 350Z | 144 | 107 | 16,361 |
| 2005 Nissan 350Z | 83 | 65 | 36,000 |
| 2006 Nissan 350Z | 53 | 41 | 26,000 |
| 2007 (this page) | 73 | 55 | 26,000 |
| 2008 Nissan 350Z | 24 | 18 | 27,863 |

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2007 Nissan 350Z lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2007 Nissan 350Z.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 18 of the 73 complaints on the 2007 Nissan 350Z give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA name counted: 350Z. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
- Recall-file name matched: 350Z.
