general problems of the 2011 Nissan 370Z

Clutch slave cylinder went out at around 40k miles. After doing some research, this is a known problem with many other 370 z's. I am now worried that I will need a third csc.

Clutch pressure (csc) failure this has already failed once and needs to be recalled and upgraded so the problem doesn't happen every 25,000 miles. Now that my car is out of warranty they will not replace anymore.

While driving home from texas my clutch started to weaken and eventually stuck to the floor while I was traveling approximately 70 mph. Understanding that my car had a problem that was likely to leave me stranded, I continued to travel at 70 to 75 mph from jackson, mississippi to birmingham, alabama without stopping. When I arrived at the end of the off ramp, I could not get the car into 1st gear so I could continue on home. After being stranded for about 30 minutes, I eventually got the car into first gear. I had to drive from the exit to my home in first gear. When I got to my house I had to use the starter to get my car into the garage. The trip from jackson to birmingham was exceptionally dangerous and there was many opportunities for a tragedy for example: (1) not being able to react properly in traffic, (2) not being able to react properly to construction zones, (3) not being able to react properly to city speed zones, et cetera. Given that this issue came on quickly, a dangerous situation presented itself in heavy fast moving traffic when I could not properly change gears when down-shifting. Due to my delayed response trying to get my car into gear, I was almost hit from behind which caused other nearby cars to have to react to the situation as well. Fortunately everyone around me at the time of final failure was paying attention. Taking a look at the history of this issue, it seems to have carried from the 350z to the 370z which starts in 2002 and continues year to date. Based on research in forums, this failure takes place at an average of 25,000 miles and continues to reoccur after replacement at the same interval. It is a matter of time before this failure causes a death, but then again, if someone dies they will hardly be able to report the problem. Please look into this issue and consider both the 350z and the 370z--which has inherited the issue.

Takata recall. I first occurred a problem with the z on my wedding day. My clutch dropped to the floor and we couldn't get the car in gear. We were put in the middle of the mountains with no way to call a tow truck so we did our best to make it to the closest Nissan dealer. On the way we came to a four way red light and couldn't shift to a low enough gear to get to car to slow down, a semi was traveling about 60 mph right at us, we swerved into the emergency on and the truck to barely missed us. After that my husband found out from a mechanic that he should bleed the clutch so he did and the clutch was normal again. Besides that the car has had only one other occurrence with the clutch. I am petrified to drive my car after that situation but I have no choice considering I spend most of my paycheck just to pay for the one thing that will probably send me to my grave. This is a very serious problem and should be fixed! now to mention this morning. . . I woke up to go to work and went to start my car when my car wouldn't start due to a steering lock malfunction and will probably end up having to take it to a dealership if my research doesn't work out as planned. The brake light comes on when I push the clutch. . . The traction control light comes on and stays on for long periods. This car is going to hurt someone bad! worried about the people drinking and driving? you should be worried about the people driving a Nissan 370z !!!! so frustrated!.

Csc failed at 47000miles. Many others have had this issue.
