2008 Nissan 350Z Complaints

SENSOR ON DASHBOARD LITE WON'T GO OUT, SHOWING AIRBAG DISABLED DUE CHILD IN SEAT.

I WAS DRIVING MY 08 350Z (CURRENTLY HAS 70K MILES) ON THE HIGHWAY APPROX 60 MPH WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO DOWNSHIFT FOR MY EXIT. THE CLUTCH PEDAL WENT DOWN AND STUCK WHEN I SHIFTED OUT OF 6TH AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO ANY GEAR. I MISSED THE EXIT AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED. TURNS OUT THE SLAVE CYLINDER THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED 20K MILES AGO UNDER RECALL HAD GONE BAD AGAIN! EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE IS THAT IN 68K MILES, I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE SLAVE REPLACED 2X, CLUTCH REPLACED 3X, FLYWHEEL RESURFACED 2X, FLYWHEEL REPLACED 1X, CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED 1X, MULTIPLE TRANS SERVICES, MULTIPLE TIMES BLEEDING THE CLUTCH. ALL WORK DONE AT DEALER USING OEM PARTS. THIS IS A KNOWN 350Z DEFECT AND NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACING THE CLUTCH SYSTEM W/ AN IMPROVED DESIGN BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR KILLED!

CSC FAILURE 6 TIMES. FAILURE OCCURED IN MULTIPLE PLACES, ON THE HIGHWAY, SIDE STREETS, COUNTRY ROAD.

INITIALLY IT WAS THE MASTER CYLINDER WHICH WAS COVERED. HOWEVER, THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. LATER THEY SAID I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW CLUTCH KIT FOR AROUND 2800. OF COURSE I DON'T HAVE THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY. I PURCHASED AND EXEDY AFTERMARKET CLUTCH , FLYWHEEL AND PRESSURE PLATE AS THEY TOLD ME TO DO. TOOK IT HOME NOVEMBER 15 AND IT WORKED FINE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. IT THEN BEGAN TO LEAK CLUTCH FLUID AND CLUTCH FELT SOFT. I WENT BACK AND THEY KEPT TELLING ME TO GO TO NISSAN. I PAID FOR A DIAGNOSIS AT VIVA NISSAN IN EL PASO TX AND THE CONCENTRIC SLAVE CYLINDER WAS THE ISSUE. I HAD TO GO BACK AND FORTH AND TRY TO GET THE HELP TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I BOUGHT A...
