Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When driving my G35 coupe in stop & go traffic in warm weather, the clutch does not completely engage. The pedal only comes about half-way up and sometimes less than that. I almost had to put the car of the side of the road because the clutch would not engage at one point. I have replaced the fluid and ensured the lines were clear of air to no resolve. The car has less than 20k miles.”
NHTSA complaint #10275005, filed 2009-06, 19,800 miles“I have had many problems with my g35x most notably the car jerks violently at or around 38 MPH, I have called consumer affairs and the dealer and they both deny there even being a problem. The color is liquid platinum and there seems to be metal flakes in the clear causing there to be thousands of tiny rust spots on the paint.”
NHTSA complaint #10238344, filed 2008-08, 5,500 miles“Two different incidents - I was in two minor low speed incidents. I believe at the time of the second the brake rod got bent (which is currently speculation and the insurance is investigating) from the first accident. After the first my accelerator would not function on some left hand turns. I got in the second accident because of the inability to brake harder and I was amazed I couldn't stop in the distance provided, and this braking scenario and outcome is repeatable. If I brake hard -- harder -- full stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #10661078, filed 2014-11, 97,000 miles“Car would die after being started. Lag time in acceleration. Upon inspection we were told the rear timing cover has a seal inside of it that is broken. The mechanics showed us 4 vehicles in their shop with the same issue. The seal inside this cover is so hard to reach the entire engine must be dropped in order to fix this. It is a $3k+ job. The mechanics advised that until nissan fixes the quality of this seal it will blow again in 80k. The seal is creating oil leaks into my engine and will eventually lock up the transmission. …”
NHTSA complaint #10513340, filed 2013-05, 85,000 miles“Usually after the car has not been driven for a few days, I will get in and press the clutch and it will sink to the ground (I.e. There is no pressure in the clutch line). After pumping it a few times, it will usually rebuild pressure and be drivable. I have requested that my dealership fix the problem, but they claim to be unable to diagnose it, regardless of my explanation. They have bled the clutch line at one point, temporarily fixing the problem, but it is not a sustained solution.”
