I HAVE A 2009 370Z. IT IS DAILY DRIVEN (NO CLUTCH DUMPING, BURN OUT, TRACK, RACING, ETC.). THE CLUTCH IS OEM. AT 16,158 MILES I WAS LEAVING WORK. I WAS GETTING READY TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL SUNK TO THE FLOOR. THE MORE I PRESS DOWN, THE MORE PRESSURE WAS LOST. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED CONCENTRIC SLAVE CYLINDER. THIS IS PROBABLY THE SAME PART THAT IS USED IN THE '07+ 350Z WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. THANKFULLY THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED IN THE PARKING LOT. THE PEDAL SINKING TO THE FLOOR WAS SUDDEN AND WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

Reading these

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
