2007 Nissan 350z complaints

CLUTCH IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT IS TO LOOSE. *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN 305Z SHOWED NO PREVIOUS SIGNS OF FAILURE UNTIL THE CLUTCH PEDAL GOT STUCK TO THE FLOOR AS I DROVE DOWN ONE OF THE BUSIEST STREETS IN MY CITY. THIS HAPPENED SATURDAY NIGHT 02/09/2008 AROUND 9PM. PARKED THE VEHICLE AT A FRIENDS WHO HAPPENED TO LIVE NEARBY AND WILL WAIT UNTIL MONDAY BEFORE GETTING IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. (SINCE DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT OPEN ON A SUNDAY) MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CYLINDER ASSY-CLUTCH RECALL ALL OVER CAR ENTHUSIAST FORUMS. *TR

THE CLUTCH ON MY 2007 350Z IS GOING OUT FOR NOT THE FIRST BUT THE SECOND TIME WITH LESS THAN 18,000 MILES ON IT. THE CLUTCH CONSTANTLY HAS A BURNING SMELL NO MATTER HOW THE CAR IS DRIVEN. THE THROW OUT BEARING RATTLES CONSTANTLY WHEN CLUTCH IS NOT ENGANGED. THIS IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME MY CLUTCH WENT OUT I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS JUST BARELY LUCKY ENOUGH TO COAST IT OFF THE RAMP INTO A PARKING LOT. *TR

CLUTCH WENT OUT. *CN

1) CLUTCH PEDAL STICKS TO THE FLOOR ON NEW 2007 350Z (<8K MILES) 2) CLUTCH NOT DISENGAGING AND UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS 3) CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER HAD TO BE REPLACED THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE (8/22/07 AND 12/28/07)*CN

I EXPERIENCED A SAFETY RELATED ISSUE WITH MY CAR. WHILE I WAS DRIVING, SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AT ABOUT 6,000RPM AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK ON THE FLOOR AND IT TOOK AN UNUSUALLY LONG AMOUNT OF TIME FOR IT TO RETURN TO THE REST POSITION. THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS "STUCK" ON THE FLOOR OF THE CAR FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS, WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMMEDIATE. *TR

MULTIPLE CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION ISSUES. ISSUE INVOLVES THE CLUTCH PEDAL SINKING TO THE FLOOR AND LOOSING NEARLY ALL, OR ALL OF ITS PRESSURE. CLUTCH FAILS TO RETURN TO NORMAL UNTIL THE CAR SITS UNTIL COOL. FIRST INCIDENT WAS DURING NORMAL DRIVING; WHILE GOING THROUGH A INTERCEPTION A CAR RAN THE RED LIGHT, WHEN I DOWNSHIFTED TO A LOWER GEAR TO MORE, THE CLUTCH FAILED TO HOLD THE GEAR AND FELL TO THE FLOOR, THE OTHER CAR MANAGED TO STOPPED BUT I WAS IDLE IN THE ROAD UNABLE TO MOVE. SECOND INCIDENT INVOLVED TRAFFIC GOING UP A LOCAL BRIDGE CROSSING THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. THE CLUTCH AGAIN GAVE OUT AFTER A FEW MINS OF STOP AND GO. I HAD TO PULL THE EBRAKE TO KEEP FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS AND WAS UNABLE TO CONTINUE UPHILL FOR ROUGHLY 10MINS. NO INJURIES OR DAMAGED ACCRUED FROM THESE EVENTS, BUT THEY WERE EACH CLOSE CALLS. I HAVE NOT YET TO BRING THE CAR TO MY DEALER DUE TO MY WORK SCHEDULE. TO DATE MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

LOSS OF CLUTCH PRESSURE. *TR

THE CLUTCH ON MY 2007 350Z SOUNDS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BLOW UP. IN TRAFFIC I AM EMBARRASSED AS EVERYONE LOOKS AROUND TO SEE WHERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM...I KNOW SOME NOISE IS COMMON BUT THIS NOISE GOES OVER THE RADIO AT A HIGH VOLUME, THIS CANT BE NORMAL OR SAFE SOUNDS LIKE ITS GOING TO CRACK IN HALF... *TR

HAVING CLUTCH ISSUES... PEDAL STICKS, CLUTCH SLIPS.... WHEN TAKEN TO REPAIR, "NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT". *TR

I LOVE MY 2007 NISSAN 350Z, BUT SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT HAS HAD GRINDING NOISE .I SUSPECT IT'S THE THROW OUT BEARING OR THE PILOT BEARING ON THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ON MY NEW CAR, AND IM AFRAID I WILL GET STUCK ON THE ROAD IN MY NISSAN AGAIN. *TR PLEASE HELP KRIS

1) I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 350Z, AND AFTER 1,700 MILES THE CLUTCH PEDAL BEGAN TO STICK TO THE FLOOR AND LOSE PRESSURE, THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK WAS TO PUT YOUR FOOT UNDER THE PEDAL AND PUSH UP ON IT. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 20 TIMES, AND IN VARIOUS CONDITIONS (HIGHWAY/CITY). I HAD BROUGHT IT TO IRA NISSAN IN WOBURN TWO TIMES ASKING THEM TO FIX OR LOOK INTO IT AND BOTH TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE. 2) IN EARLY OCTOBER I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM MY GIRLFRIEND FATHER?S HOUSE, AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL STICK THE FLOOR. THE CLUTCH WOULDN'T DISENGAGE; IT HAD NO PRESSURE NO MATTER WHAT I DID. I WAS ON ROUGHLY 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND I COULD NOT TAKE THE CAR OUT OF GEAR TO SLOW DOWN. I LITERALLY HAD TO FORCE THE CAR OUT OF GEAR AND SLOW DOWN WITH BRAKES SO THE CAR WOULDN'T STALL OUT. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS VERY FRIGHTENING, IF I HAD TO FOR SOME REASON ACTUALLY SPEED UP TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE OR FOR MY OWN SAFETY I COULD NOT. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION, I NOTICED THAT WAS NO CLUTCH FLUID AT ALL. A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 7,000 MILES SHOULD NO BE RUNNING OUT OF CLUTCH FLUID LIKE THAT. THERE WAS A GAS STATION ACROSS THE STREET SO WE PURCHASED SOME BRAKE FLUID PUMPED THE CLUTCH AND IT WAS OK. I DROVE IT HOME, AND THE NEXT MORNING THE FLUID WAS GONE AGAIN. THIS TIME I DIDN'T MESS AROUND I CALLED AAA, AND HAD THEM TOW MY CAR TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM IT WAS COMING. I ALSO CALLED CORPORATE NISSAN TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND START AND OF

WHILE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC MY CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR CAUSING THE CAR TO FILL WITH SMOKE AND RENDERING THE CAR TEMPORALLY INOPERABLE AFTER A FEW MINUTES I PUMPED THE PEDAL AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE HOME. THE NEXT MORNING THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT I HAD WORN OUT A CLUTCH IN 4000 MILES AND THEY WOULD NOT WARRANTY MY PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN 350Z WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION, AND MY CLUTCH WAS GETTING STUCK. I DID MY RESEARCH AND FIGURED OUT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SLAVE CYLINDER, OR THE CLUTCH FLUID, BECAUSE I HAD RUN INTO PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY HAD TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG. THERE HAVE BEEN MORE MOMENTS WHEN I AM DRIVING, I SHIFT GEARS, AND RELEASE THE CLUTCH AND GIVE IT GAS, AND IT JUST ACCELERATES MORE! THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

LOSS OF CLUTCH PRESSURE. CAR WILL NOT MOVE. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

CLUTCH STICKING TO FLOOR AFTER LONG DRIVES.... *TR

DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC OR MODERATE ACCELERATION, MY 2007 NISSAN 350Z CLUTCH PEDAL WILL FALL TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE POWER TO THE WHEELS. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO SUTHERLIN NISSAN AT 1,500 MILES, AND THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 11,500 MILES. WITHIN ONE DAY AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK, THE SAME PROBLEM SHOWED UP, DURING A TRAFFIC JAM. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED AGAIN, AND AFTER 8,500 MILES AND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER, AND FINALLY NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA, THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN. THE DEALER REFUSED TO TRY AND FIX THE VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA. THIS TIME THE PROBLEM BECAME SO SEVERE, YOU COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR IN MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC, WITHOUT THE FEAR OF LOSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL PRESSURE. THE PROBLEM STARTED IN MARCH OF 2007, THE FIRST REPAIR WAS IN EARLY SUMMER, 2007, THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED, AND GOTTEN MUCH WORSE SINCE THEN, MAKING IT DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, AND IS NOW AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, AS OF NOVEMBER 17TH. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY CLUTCH PEDAL PRESSURE FAILURES, I HAVE LOST COUNT, BUT ESTIMATE THE FAILURES HAVE BEEN IN THE HUNDREDS, AS THE PROBLEM OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES DAILY, DURING COMMUTES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHICH I WILL NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR IN UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN 350 Z AND DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING THE CLUTCH STICK TO THE BOTTOM DISABLE ME FROM SHIFTING AND STAY ON GEAR AND IT GET HARD TO STOP BECAUSE THE CAR IS ON GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE ONLY HAPPEN SOMETIMES. *TR

THE CLUTCH IN MY 07 NISSAN 350Z DROPS TO THE GROUND WHILE DRIVING AND DOESN'T GO UP, I MUST PULL OVER AND PUMP THE CLUTCH FOR IT TO POP UP. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I HEARD MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM, IF THIS DOESN'T GET TAKEN CARE OF SOMEBODY WILL BE KILLED. *TR

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A NISSAN 350Z 2007 BASE MODEL MANUAL TRANSMISSION I NOTICED THAT THERE'S TIME WHEN I PRESS THE CLUTCH THE CLUTCH DOES RETURN BACK AND THAT CAR DOES NOT MOVE. THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IF IM IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION AND THERE'S CAR COMING IF MY CLUTCH PETAL DOES NOT RETURN TO THE NORMAL POSITION I COULD BE IN A SERIOUS CRASH THANK YOU *TR

THE CAR WAS DRIVING NORMALLY AND GAVE NO SIGNS TO ANY TYPE OF PENDING FAILURE. THE 2007 350Z MODEL YEAR HAS SOME FORM OF CLUTCH DEFICIENCY. THE CLUTCH SOMETIMES DROPS TO THE FLOOR REQUIRING IT TO BE PUMPED UP BUT CAN LEAD TO STALLING THE ENGINE OR BEING STRANDED IN TRAFFIC. MY PROBLEM CAUSED ME TO BE STRANDED ON THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC UNTIL THE CLUTCH REGAINED PRESSURE AND LET ME DRIVE ON. THE PROBLEM IS THAT AFTER THE INITIAL FAILURE THE CLUTCH RANDOMLY SEEMS TO LOSE PRESSURE AND CAUSES IT TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO GEAR WITHOUT SLIPPING. THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND ALSO CLAIMED THAT THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS HISTORY OF A PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS DOCUMENTED CASES OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAD THIS CAR FOR 4 DAYS A 2007 NISSAN 350Z TOURING EDITION. DRIVING TO WORK ON THE MORNING OF SEPT, 1ST 2007 THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG (FROM HEADLINER, AND SIDE OF SEAT.) EXPLODE. I TAKE IT TO GWINNETT PLACE NISSAN AND THEY SAID THEY'LL HAVE NNA COME OUT AND LOOK FOR IT, THEY GIVE US A RENTAL, TAKES THEM A WEEK FOR SOMEONE TO LOOK UNDER THERE AND TELL ME A ROCK FLEW UNDER MY UNDERCARRIAGE AND HIT THE AIRBAG MODULE SENSOR AND MADE BOTH SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOY. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. AND THEY MADE US PAY $250 FOR THE CAR RENTAL. WHY WOULD NISSAN DESIGN A CAR THIS WAY? *TR

CLUTCH STUCK TO THE FLOOR, TERRIBLE RATTLE NOISE COMING FROM THROW OUT BEARING. *AK
