general problems of the 2014 Nissan 370Z

While driving my 2014 Nissan 370z with only around 43,000 miles, the car suddenly made a loud bang in the rear area and then would not shift normally in automatic mode while I was on the highway with my child in the car. When I inspected the underside afterward, there were no fluids leaking and I had not hit anything that could have caused the noise or malfunction of the output sensor. Shortly after, the vehicle went into limp mode and would not shift past 2nd or possibly 3rd gear. Manual mode also stopped working. This limited the car to around 25 mph, creating a dangerous situation in traffic since it could not accelerate normally. The check engine light came on, and a scan revealed a p0720 speed sensor circuit failure. The dealer advised replacing the valve body assembly at a cost of nearly $5,000. A transmission electronics failure of this kind at such low mileage is not normal wear and tear. Research shows that other Nissan and Infiniti owners with the same 7-speed automatic transmission have experienced the same problem. This appears to be a recurring defect that presents a serious safety risk when the vehicle suddenly loses acceleration ability.

My clutch would not come off the floorboard. I could not shift into any gear. This happen 3 different times after I would make long freeway trips without shifting. I had 3 different, well established mechanics look at my and do a diagnostic test. As I waited for a tow truck. I found a lawsuit against Nissan for a faulty (concentric) clutch slave cylinder! on 2 of the occasions I would let my car cool down for an hour or so and it would be fine. On this occasion, I let my sit over night. The next day my clutch was still on the floor. I fulled the clutch off the floor with my foot. I turned the car on. The car lunged forward almost going into the hotel building. I pulled the e-break and turned the car off. The car was towed to the Nissan dealership in renton wa. I had to explain to the dealer about the lawsuit on the clutch slave cylinder. He had not heard of it. I contacted me later and agreed it was the clutch slave cylinder. I was exiting the freeway 2 times and was not able to shit past 2nd gear the two times before. This last time I was coming off the freeway and had to coast into the nearest drive. I was caught off gaurd , I rolled through one four way stop with my hazard lights on. So not to get stuck in midfle of the road.

Tl -the contact owns a 2014 Nissan 370. The contact stated while driving 20 mph the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle seized. The contact turned the vehicle back on and when she pressed the accelerator pedal it only went 5 mph. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer (Nissan of burlingame � 101 California drive, burlingame CA 94010) and stated the vehicle needed a engine harness. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000. Jc.

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.
