“My push button start does not start the car. It goes to aac and the ignition but the car just sites there. It will not turn the engine. I was stranded one time and had to get towed home.”

NHTSA complaint #11015298, filed 2017-08, 69,004 miles

“My vehicle is equipped with an electronic steering column lock (escl) that locks the steering wheel when the vehicle is parked and turned off to help prevent theft. On some vehicles, due to a manufacturing irregularity,the escl may malfunction after the vehicle has been locked and could prevent the engine from starting. This condition, should it occur, will only occur when attempting to start the vehicle, which happened with my Nissan 370Z yesterday. Thank god I wasn;t stranded in the middle of nowhere. And luckily this did not happen in the middle of an intersection or other busy road. …”

“Went to go to work this morning and my clutch is stuck to the floor...thought maybe it needed some grease or something so I gave it a few pumps but nothing. The car is not drivable at all!!! This is dangerous if I were actually driving down the road and this happen. Shame on you Nissan for not doing anything to correct this issue for a $70 part. People paying out of pocket $1,200 to fix!!! Many people in the forums have also had this problem, please attend to this issue immediately. This needs to be recalled!!! Im surprised no one has died from this issue yet.”

NHTSA complaint #10788223, filed 2015-11, 54,000 miles

“I was driving to work one morning when my clutch pedal became limp. I was on the freeway getting ready to shift into 6th gear when I had no clutch resistance! I nearly crashed due to the lack of engagement. I took it to the dealership and they said I was out of warranty. This very same issue was fixed under warranty at 30,000 miles. The dealership either never replaced the parts they claimed to have replaced at 30k miles or they have failed again, just 35k miles later. These parts are the master cylinder and slave cylinder in the transmission. The issue has been going on with 2009-2015 models. …”

NHTSA complaint #10730152, filed 2015-06, 65,000 miles

“Attempted to start vehicle. Keyless entry system not working. Vehicle would not start. Had car flat bed towed to Nissan. They said that it was the steering lock. There have been multiple complaints from consumers who own 2009-early 2010 Nissan 370Z. This part should be recalled by Nissan since it prevents starting the car, thereby leaving you stranded. Nissan had a recall on the gtr's but not the 370Z. This is what happens when you try to start the car. Without warning, the electric lock fails to unlock, sending error message to the bcm. …”
