“As I was driving during heavy business hours my clutch stayed stuck all the way to the bottom, without me being able to shift. I got in to a parking lot and the car did not want to start anymore, so I had to tow it to a Nissan dealership. At the dealership they diagnosed it and claimed it is the csc.”
NHTSA complaint #10874966, filed 2016-06, 58,000 miles“The car will not move the clutch pedal went to the floor and would not come up or engage. I was stuck in city traffic. I checked the fluid level and it was low but not before the minimum line. I believe I have a leak in the internal slave cylinder which is located inside the bell housing.”
NHTSA complaint #10790783, filed 2015-11, 25,000 miles“Was driving on the service road as I exited off the highway and I lost clutch pressure. This is a very common problem in the 370Z and Nissan needs to fix this. There are hundreds of owners who have had this issue. I was left stranded on the service road with no clutch pressure.”
NHTSA complaint #10763771, filed 2015-09, 36,000 miles“Clutch master cylinder failed. I was on a highway and was unable to shift the car into a different gear. I barely made it off the highway where I was towed to the dealership. The clutch just completely lost pressure.”
NHTSA complaint #10588926, filed 2014-05, 35,000 miles“The clutch slave cylinder failed on me. I hear this is a known problem in 370Z's among the rest of the 370Z community yet the manufacturer refuses to acknowledge that it's a common problem.”
