2014 Nissan 370Z Complaints

AFTER DRIVING MY 2014 NISSAN 370Z FOR 40,000 MILES, THE CLUTCH STUCK TO THE FLOOR. I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION AND FINALLY ABLE TO PULL THE CLUTCH PEDAL UP WITH MY FOOT. AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION, AGAIN THE CLUTCH STAYED DOWN AND AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO PULL IT UP TO SHIFT GEARS. UPON THE THIRD SHIFTING OF GEARS, THE CLUTCH STAYED ON THE FLOOR AND EVEN LIFTING IT WITH MY FOOT, I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET IT INTO ANY GEAR. HAD I BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY SHIFTING GEARS I MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THEREFORE I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN IN A HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR BOTH MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN 370Z. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 5 MPH. THE DEALER (NISSAN OF BURLINGAME, 101 CALIFORNIA DRIVE, BURLINGAME CA 94010) DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE HARNESS NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

MY CSC - CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER GAVE UP ON ME PUTTING MY CLUTCH PETAL TO THE FLOOR UNABLE TO CHANGE ANY GEARS. I WAS STRANDED ON THE ROAD FOR HOURS. NISSAN MUST FIX THIS ISSUE WITH 370Z WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION THE CSC IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND SHOULD (MUST) BE REPLACED WITH ONE MADE MY METAL. MANY HUNDREDS OF 370Z ENTHUSIAST HAVE THIS ISSUE.

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2014 NISSAN 370Z BACK ON MAY 9TH 2014. AMAZING CAR WITH ONE REALLY BAD WEAK LINK, CSC. MY CSC (CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER) WENT OUT AT 23,309 MILES. LUCKILY I WAS PARKED RIGHT OUTSIDE MY HOUSE. MY CLUTCH PEDDLE SANK TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE. HAD TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM DETERMINE IT "WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY" DUE TO "MISUSE OF THE VEHICLE" FROM A "BURNT" FLYWHEEL. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND HUNDREDS OF 370Z'S WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR CSC. THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES OF DISCUSSIONS ON FORUMS ABOUT THIS PLASTIC CSC. WE BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO COVER IT UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WHEN IN FACT IS A POWER TRAIN ISSUE ON THEIR PART.GREAT CAR, BAD CSC, BAD CUSTOMER SUPPORT BY NISSANS CONSUMER AFFAIRS. *TR

THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. MANUAL TRANSMISSION SUNNY, AIR TEMP APPROX 75 F. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN APPOX 0.25 MILES & 2 MINUTES IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO EVENT AND PARKED FOR THE PREVIOUS 4 HOURS.

AT A SPEED OF APPROX 10MPH THE DRIVER FULLY DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH PEDAL (TO DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH) TO COAST MOMENTARILY WITH TRAFFIC AND SHIFT TO 2ND GEAR.

THE CLUTCH PEDAL FAILED TO RETURN TO THE FULLY ENGAGED, DEFAULT, POSITION DURING OPERATION; THE CLUTCH PEDAL RETURNED ONLY APPROXIMATELY 1/3 OF NOMINAL TRAVEL DISTANCE. CONCURRENTLY, THE CLUTCH DID NOT ENGAGE AND SLIPPED WITH REGULAR THROTTLE APPLIED FOR THE SHIFTING CONDITION. PUMPING OF THE CLUTCH PEDAL DID NOT RESTORE NORMAL CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION NOR NORMAL CLUT...
