Clutch Problems of Nissan 350Z

The contact owns a 2003 Nissan 350z. While the vehicle was idling at a stop light, the clutch was depressed and the contact heard a squeaky noise. The vehicle stalled and took three attempts before it would restart. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the ignition switch did not recognize the clutch; however, the cause of the failure could not be determined. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was advised to call NHTSA. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.

My 2007 Nissan 305z showed no previous signs of failure until the clutch pedal got stuck to the floor as I drove down one of the busiest streets in my city. This happened Saturday night 02/09/2008 around 9pm. Parked the vehicle at a friends who happened to live nearby and will wait until Monday before getting it towed to the dealer. (since dealerships are not open on a Sunday) many people have been complaining about the cylinder assy-clutch recall all over car enthusiast forums.

Recently, I have bought a new 2008 Nissan 350z. I bought the car on Saturday, Dec 29. 2007. On Dec 31 2007, 3 days later, the slave cylinder for the clutch went out. I can still shift but the clutch pedal feels very very weak now. And the "service engine soon" light is now on. I have not brought it in yet, due to it being new years day, but will bring it in on Jan 2 to get it looked at and replaced.

My cars clutch will stick to the floor for a second or 2. Took to dealer and they said I need to authorize tear down to check problem(I need to pay). The car had 2500 mi on it when it happened before. It is intermittent. Car has 5,900 mi. , know and it happens more often. Nissan customer service is looking into it because I won't pay for a problem that exist with this car. Nissans campaign id# p7252 covers cars like mine but stops 138 cars bye the VIN#. This is potentially a problem merging into traffic if you can't accelerate!.

The clutch on my 2007 350z sounds like it is going to blow up. In traffic I am embarrassed as everyone looks around to see where the noise is coming from. . . I know some noise is common but this noise goes over the radio at a high volume, this cant be normal or safe sounds like its going to crack in half. . .

Having clutch issues. . . Pedal sticks, clutch slips. . . . When taken to repair, "nothing can be done about it".

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.

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.

The clutch in my 07 Nissan 350z drops to the ground while driving and doesn't go up, I must pull over and pump the clutch for it to pop up. This is dangerous and I heard many other people have this problem, if this doesn't get taken care of somebody will be killed.

The clutch on my 2007 350z is going out for not the first but the second time with less than 18,000 miles on it. The clutch constantly has a burning smell no matter how the car is driven. The throw out bearing rattles constantly when clutch is not enganged. This is becoming a safety issue because the first time my clutch went out I was driving on the highway and was just barely lucky enough to coast it off the ramp into a parking lot.

The car was driving normally and gave no signs to any type of pending failure. The 2007 350z model year has some form of clutch deficiency. The clutch sometimes drops to the floor requiring it to be pumped up but can lead to stalling the engine or being stranded in traffic. My problem caused me to be stranded on the road in traffic until the clutch regained pressure and let me drive on. The problem is that after the initial failure the clutch randomly seems to lose pressure and causes it to be very difficult to shift into gear without slipping. The dealer claimed that they couldn't reproduce the problem and also claimed that there was no previous history of a problem although there are numerous documented cases of the problem.

1) I purchased a brand new 2007 350z, and after 1,700 miles the clutch pedal began to stick to the floor and lose pressure, the only way to get it back was to put your foot under the pedal and push up on it. This happened to me about 20 times, and in various conditions (highway/city). I had brought it to ira Nissan in woburn two times asking them to fix or look into it and both time they told me they could not replicate. 2) in early October I was driving home from my girlfriend father?s house, and the clutch pedal stick the floor. The clutch wouldn't disengage; it had no pressure no matter what I did. I was on roughly 70 mph on the interstate and I could not take the car out of gear to slow down. I literally had to force the car out of gear and slow down with brakes so the car wouldn't stall out. The whole experience was very frightening, if I had to for some reason actually speed up to move out of the way of an emergency vehicle or for my own safety I could not. After some investigation, I noticed that was no clutch fluid at all. A brand new car with less than 7,000 miles should no be running out of clutch fluid like that. There was a gas station across the street so we purchased some brake fluid pumped the clutch and it was ok. I drove it home, and the next morning the fluid was gone again. This time I didn't mess around I called aaa, and had them tow my car to Nissan dealership and told them it was coming. I also called corporate Nissan to file a complaint and start and official paper trail. 3) that next afternoon after the tow to ira Nissan in woburn (same location as the other 2 times) I was called by the service manager and they told me they can replicate and are going to have to change the entire clutch assembly including master and slave cylinders. The said it would take 3-4 days to get the parts and about a days work. It was all covered under warranty and I was actually given a rental car. But there is an issue that Nissan refuses to accept.

I was driving my 2007 Nissan 350z with manual transmission, and my clutch was getting stuck. I did my research and figured out that there was a problem with the slave cylinder, or the clutch fluid, because I had run into people with the same problems. I then took my car to the dealership, and they had told me that there was absolutely nothing wrong. There have been more moments when I am driving, I shift gears, and release the clutch and give it gas, and it just accelerates more! this almost caused me to get into an accident.

1) clutch pedal sticks to the floor on new 2007 350z (<8k miles) 2) clutch not disengaging and unable to shift gears 3) clutch slave cylinder had to be replaced the problem has happened twice (8/22/07 and 12/28/07).

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!.

Car began shifting funny, unable to accelerate. Took car to dealer. They determined that the clutch and fly wheel were bad. Car only has 10000 miles on it and owned less than a year. Clutch and fly wheel replaced at my expense, after many arguments with Nissan.

2004 Nissan 350z developed problems with the clutch. ** answer required***. Two independent transmission experts stated it was highly unlikely that a burned clutch and grooved flywheel was due to owner abuse as the dealer had stated. When the consumer received the vehicle back it had a completely different feel, the clutch was much easier to push than before and the clutch engaged more quickly. The owner of the transmission shop drove the consumers vehicle before and after, and he also stated the change was probably due to the adjustment or replacement of the hydraulic mechanism on the clutch.

I have had my car for 9000 miles and the clutch gave out. It was replaced by the dealer and the same problem happened a few months later.

Nissan 350z clutch failure, 2nd time in first year of ownership. After much haggling, Nissan replaced the clutch at 6000 miles and it has just failed again at 13,000 miles. This is my third Nissan, loyal customer. I have driven a manual transmission for 14 years and never replaced a clutch or transmission. This is a product defect that Nissan is reluctant to acknowledge. There are hundreds of similar complaints on the internet.
