Clutch Pedal/linkage problems of the 2005 Nissan Maxima

I bought my 2005 Nissan Maxima in August 8, 2013 used with approx. 63k miles with no warranty. About 3 weeks after I bought the car I was driving in traffic in 90 degree weather, I noticed my clutch pedal would get stuck to the floor. During this time I was unable to change gears at all, I had to pull over & sit for about 20 minutes to get the car moving again. I took it back to the dealer & they "bled the line". They said the fluid in the clutch would get hot & turn into "vapor" which would cause the clutch pedal to get stuck & advised I use dot4 fluid in the future. 5 months later (in the winter) the clutch pedal again started getting stuck to the floor, I was able to "pop" it back with my foot for a short period of time until I got to my destination. I took it to the Nissan dealer, paid $150 to "diagnose" only for someone to tell me they could not replicate the problem & they would have to take apart my transmission (another $650) to look into the problem further. Needless to say, I went somewhere else. I had a mechanic friend look at it who told me to replace the clutch master & slave cylinder, therefore, I did. Solved the issue, until now (5 months later). My clutch has been getting stuck to the floor & loosing pressure occasionally the past month, finally yesterday, it has become un-drivable. I cannot pull it back up enough to shift it into gear. I was told my a mechanic to replace the master cylinder again & hopefully that should solve the problem. I drive everyday in this car with my two small children & have had near misses at times because I cannot get the car into gear. I read online forums regarding the Nissan altima's with the same issue. I am sure after I replace the master cylinder again I will have this issue within months. I have three more years of paying on this piece of junk until I can get rid of it! I need a reliable car, Nissan needs to fix it!.

Time: 1630 hrs; place: arlington, TX; temp: 90 degrees; traffic stop and go for an hour on highway 121. After continuous depression of the clutch to drive vehicle in traffic at less than 5 mph the clutch resistance fell to nothing and the clutch pedal stayed to the floor. I was able to make my way out of the congested traffic using 5th and 6th gear while trying to avoid all stops. I was able to make it to a convenience store and after 30 minutes there was barely enough clutch pressure to put my vehicle in gear to get back on the highway to drive home. At my exit again I had no clutch pressure and had to pull into another convenience store. I called for a tow truck and after waiting for 20 minutes the was clutch pressure to drive home, only 1 mile away. I cancelled the tow. This morning I now have full pressure and the vehicle drives like normal. I have researched the internet and found other Nissan Maxima's and altima's with the same exact problem. This is not a one vehicle incident!!! there is definitely something wrong with the clutch system in hot weather, stop and go traffic. This situation needs to be looked at.

Clutch pedal on a 2005 Nissan Maxima goes to the floor. It will return by "popping" the pedal; bouncing it off of my foot. I had the same problem with a 2002 Nissan altima.

After the dealer told me that my manual transmissions needed to be replaced at 60,000, and told me it wasn't under warranty, I went for a second opinion. A local transmission shop told me it wasn't may transmission but rather my clutch pedal bracket and that it was under warranty! I went to a second dealership and had it replaced under warranty. That lasted for about 20-30,000 miles when it started to feel as though I was moving a boulder while depressing my clutch. This past summer, when I was manually pulling the petal back from the floor, I had to replace my fly wheel and clutch because of the wear. My clutch bracket still needs to be replaced again! why is this such a widely known issue with the 2005 mt Maxima and nothing has been done?.
