Four problems related to power train have been reported for the 2012 Nissan 370Z. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Problem started with an ignition issue where the car would turn on and would go through the normal start and instead of having the engine turn on it would crank but then shut off. Car was parked in my garage not in any kind of weather that could cause issues. My battery ended up dying at some point as well. The car was parked and covered. Some heat but nothing too hot. And recently, there was a loss in power while driving on the freeway causing to car to be unable to accelerate. It would restart after being shut off but the service engine light stays on. The dealership was able to replicated the engine not igniting on fully before shutting down.
Just driving normally down the highway and press the clutch in to shift gears and my clutch did not come back out. The clutch stayed flat to the floor. The fluid were all gone. I fill it up but clutch still stay flat to the floor. I had to replace the csc (concentric slave cylinder).
Hi it is a 370z clutch pressure (csc) failures. People are complaining all over the place talking about how this is leaving people stranded especially on new vehicles. There's a post here about a brand new 2016 370z had a csc failure and had to be towed into the nearest dealership to get it fixed. Https://www. Reddit.

For about 6 months prior to the issue, I would experience intermittent juddering when starting off in 1st gear. Eventually I lost clutch pressure and had to take my car in to Nissan. After they read there was a TSB for clutch pressure, they replaced my clutch fluid with a dot4 fluid. After 2 days of replacing the fluid, I lost clutch pressure yet again and had to get both the clutch master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder replaced. This lasted for about 8 months until I started to experience juddering again, and am waiting to lose full clutch pressure yet again to have to replace the faulty part. There are many people with the exact same problem, and my dealership even acknowledges that there is an issue, but Nissan has done nothing to address the issue. There needs to be a recall for the parts.
