Manual Transmission problems of the 2005 Nissan Altima

The clutch in my 2005 Nissan Altima sticks to the floor; no pressure what so ever. This has happened at least 3 times before. This time it happened on a bridge in a one way stand alone lane. It had lost more than 50 percent of its pressure. Good thing I was wearing sandals. Was able to lift the clutch with my toes and make it off the bridge. Once I got off, the clutch was not responsive what so ever. I pulled over and parked with the car off for 20 mins. Clutch started to work againa miracle. Last time, it took over 5 hours for the clutch to start working again. If I was in traffic or had to make an a brunt stop, braking without the clutch would have been disastrous.

Before I replaced my 2005 Nissan Altima 3. 5 se's engine, transmission, injectors, mass airflow sensor, throttle body, and clutch, I was having issues with the clutch losing pressure. After taking the car to Nissan I was told I needed a new clutch. I had it replaced along with everything else shortly after with other major engine repairs due to a blown motor at 100,000 miles. Now my car is back in the shop and after two months with the same issue among other electrical problems. I lost pressure again yesterday and dropped my car off this morning. They want $370. 00 to replace the clutch slave cylinder. After reading all of the complaints, I feel that they are dead on track with this being a safety issue. This isn't the first time its happened to me either. Why hasn't this issue been resolved by Nissan, obviously this is a trend. Do I have to get in an accident with my kids in the car before something is done about this? maybe it will be your family we crash into?!! California lemon law needs to change because apparently very little is being done with recalling defective automotive parts. 3 time iraq war veteran! -usmc.

I own a Nissan Altima se-r, I purchased the car pre-owned with 42k miles on it. After having the car for just a month the clutch will sink to the floor and I will not be able to shift the car into any gears. This has been an on going problem since I've owned the car and its going to be 2 years of owning the car this summer. Many of the times the clutch has lost pressure going over bridges and stopping to pay tolls and during traffic. How can I operate my vehicle correctly if the clutch keeps loosing pressure because the master and slave cylinder looses pressure. How safe is that for not only myself but other motor vehicle operators on the road.

When car is cold, clutch has trouble, this has been since the day I got it at 45,000 miles. The clutch has always had to go the floor to engage and I was recently told by a mechanic friend of mine that is dangerous.

On occasion, my car clutch sinks to the ground and loses all pressure. The car would be out of commission until the pressure comes back in about a 1/2 hr. Nissan has constantly said that they have never heard of such problems and always check my car when the problem is not there. This can be very hazardous in heavy traffic.

I had the clutch drop to the floor, get spongy and really low when I'm driving. It happened several times, each time costing me money to sit up in a hotel or miss work many states away. Every single time I take it to the dealer they tell me there is nothing wrong with it.

The clutch will lose pressure leading to the inability to shift. Once this starts to happen, it will happen randomly until the car sits for several hours. This causes unsafe situations at intersections and on the highways during traffic. I have experienced this since I bought the car and experience the problem most often during hot days with lots of stop & go driving. Over time/mileage, the condition becomes more common. The dealer eventually replaced the master cylinder to correct the problem. It fixed it for awhile then it started happening again. Until the condition was happening enough for the dealer to detect the problem, they would not do anything. They eventually decided to replace the master & slave cylinder again.

Drove to the mall and drove to target. Came back to drive the car and put the car into reverse. The stick was stiff and it was a little difficult to put into reverse. I then put the car into first gear which again it was a little difficult. When I stopped to enter into traffic and proceeded, the stick popped out of gear and I couldn't get the car into gear and an oncoming car almost hit me. I finally got it to go into reverse and luckily no one was behind me. After trying to move the stick around into all the gears, second gear and reverse were the only functionally gears I had. I drove the car in second gear to the dealer where I purchased the car. It was just around the corner from target.
