“I have a 2007 Nissan 350Z that is developing clutch issues, poor engagement, slipping, and some rattling noise coming from the transmission when the clutch is not engaged. I have contacted and notified Nissan about it but they refuse to address the issue and they quote it as normal. I have driven stick all my life and never experience such issues.”
NHTSA complaint #10259217, filed 2009-02, 5,000 miles“I recently bought a Nissan 350Z 2007 base model manual transmission I noticed that there's time when I press the clutch the clutch does return back and that car does not move. This is a problem because if im in the middle of a intersection and there's car coming if my clutch petal does not return to the normal position I could be in a serious crash thank you”
NHTSA complaint #10209382, filed 2007-11, 9,000 miles“While in rush hour traffic my clutch pedal stuck to the floor causing the car to fill with smoke and rendering the car temporally inoperable after a few minutes I pumped the pedal and was able to continue home. The next morning the dealer informed me that I had worn out a clutch in 4000 miles and they would not warranty my problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10209828, filed 2007-11, 4,100 miles“2007 Nissan 350Z clutch problem, the problem happened when I left the dealership, the clutch slips in traffic, after it heats up the poorly made product starts to slip. I thought about having it replaced because I have warranty but its a problem in all the 07 350Z's. Replacing a poorly designed clutch with another poorly designed clutch really wouldn't help. There needs to be a recall on this!”
NHTSA complaint #10222993, filed 2008-04, 300 miles“The car is not safe to drive due to the clutch being faulty. It loses pressure every now and then, and I have to pick up the clutch with my foot manually off the floor. This is very dangerous and should be recalled on all 2007 and 2008 350Z's. Nissan changed the clutch slave cylinder and master clutch cylinders from 2007 to 2008, hence only these model years have this problem. People have complained numerous times and they did recall a clutch slave cylinder but even after they did that, it has the same problem. …”
