MY 2006 350Z IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT IS STATED BELOW FROM YOUR WEBSITE. I PURCHASE MY CAR IN 2012 AND WAS NOT AWARE THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM AS I HAD BEEN DRIVING AUTOMATICS. June 24, 2011 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11E024000 SERVICE EQUIPMENT/CLUTCH KIT ASSEMBLIES AN OVERSIZED CLUTCH DISC COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO MOVE UNINTENTIONALLY ON THE INITIAL START-UP, IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND FAILS TO USE THE SERVICE BRAKES WHILE THE HAND BRAKE IS NOT APPLIED. UNINTENTIONAL MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE COULD RESULT IN A CRASH OR POSSIBLE INJURY TO PERSONS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE.

NHTSA complaint #11139086 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I WAS DRIVING MY 08 350Z (CURRENTLY HAS 70K MILES) ON THE HIGHWAY APPROX 60 MPH WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO DOWNSHIFT FOR MY EXIT. THE CLUTCH PEDAL WENT DOWN AND STUCK WHEN I SHIFTED OUT OF 6TH AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO ANY GEAR. I MISSED THE EXIT AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED. TURNS OUT THE SLAVE CYLINDER THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED 20K MILES AGO UNDER RECALL HAD GONE BAD AGAIN! EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE IS THAT IN 68K MILES, I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE SLAVE REPLACED 2X, CLUTCH REPLACED 3X, FLYWHEEL RESURFACED 2X, FLYWHEEL REPLACED 1X, CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED 1X, MULTIPLE TRANS SERVICES, MULTIPLE TIMES BLEEDING THE CLUTCH. ALL WORK DONE AT DEALER USING OEM PARTS. THIS IS A KNOWN 350Z DEFECT AND NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACING THE CLUTCH SYSTEM W/ AN IMPROVED DESIGN BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR KILLED!

WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD POP AND FELT A SLIGHT TREMOR ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL WHICH BECAME VERY SOFT THEN STOPPED WORKING MAKING MY CAR IMMOBILE AFTER GETTING IT HOME I PULLED OUT THE TRANSMISSION AND NOTICED THAT THE PIVOT BOLT FOR THE CLUTCH HAD BROKEN OFF AT THE THREADS DESTROYING THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL AND AFTER SOME ONLINE RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT IT'S HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE AND MAY BE THE REASON I NEED TO GET MY TRANSMISSION REPAIRED

NHTSA complaint #10995016 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I PURCHASED MY 08 350Z GRAND TOURING OCTOBER 5, 2015 FROM HOY FOX TOYOTA IN EL PASO TX. 3 DAYS LATER IT LEFT ME STRANDED. THE CLUTCH STAYED TO THE FLOOR AND IT WOULDN'T GEAR. THEY SOLD IT TO ME SAYING IT HAD A NEW CLUTCH SO I DECIDED AFTER TEST DRIVING IT TO TAKE IT. I HAD TO WAIT 30 DAYS FOR MY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY TO KICK IN SO I CAN MAKE A CLAIM. INITIALLY IT WAS THE MASTER CYLINDER WHICH WAS COVERED. HOWEVER, THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. LATER THEY SAID I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW CLUTCH KIT FOR AROUND 2800. OF COURSE I DON'T HAVE THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY. I PURCHASED AND EXEDY AFTERMARKET CLUTCH , FLYWHEEL AND PRESSURE PLATE AS THEY TOLD ME TO DO. TOOK IT HOME NOVEMBER 15 AND IT WORKED FINE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. IT THEN BEGAN TO LEAK CLUTCH FLUID AND CLUTCH FELT SOFT. I WENT BACK AND THEY KEPT TELLING ME TO GO TO NISSAN. I PAID FOR A DIAGNOSIS AT VIVA NISSAN IN EL PASO TX AND THE CONCENTRIC SLAVE CYLINDER WAS THE ISSUE. I HAD TO GO BACK AND FORTH AND TRY TO GET THE HELP TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I BOUGHT A SLAVE CYLINDER ONLINE BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD THAT PART UNDER WARRANTY. I TRIED TALKING TO THEM AT DEALERSHIP BUT NO HELP UNTIL I MADE A BAD REVIEW. THEY TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY SAID NO WORRIES WE WILL FIX IT. THEY REPLACED THE SLAVE CYLINDER AND IN 3 DAYS ONCE AGAIN IT FAILED. PLASTIC NISSAN PARTS ARE NO GOOD. THEY GET DAMAGED EASILY AND EVEN NEW CARS WITH LESS THAN 5000 MILES NEED IT ALL REPLACED. THE ONLY SOLUTION WE ALL MIGHT HAVE IS A HEAVY DUTY SLAVE CYLINDER FROM ZSPEEDSPORTS AND ITS EXPENSIVE. I'VE BEEN READING SO MANY CASES AND WE ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. IT'S RIDICULOUS WHAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND FOR NISSAN NOT TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY . I HAVE NO CAR AND ITS AT DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER 23013379. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE REPLACED AND FIXED. TOO MANY CASES AND NO HELP FROM DEALERSHIP.
NHTSA complaint #10888479 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
HAPPENED IN THE DRIVEWAY, FORTUNATELY. WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, IT STAYED DOWN, AND IN GEAR. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO FORCE THE CAR OUT OF GEAR. I WAS THEN ABLE TO MANUALLY LIFT THE PEDAL, AND PUMP IT SOFTLY TO MAKE IT STAY UP. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. IT IS A HYDRAULIC CLUTCH' NO LEAKS, AND CLUTCH REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED WITH ONLY 55K MILES ON IT. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND VERY UNSAFE IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND CAN'T GET IT OUT OF GEAR.
NHTSA complaint #10788663 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN 350Z. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE CLUTCH FAILED. THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.
NHTSA complaint #10726748 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FOR THE PAST COUPLE DAYS, WHILE DRIVING, THE CLUTCH WHEN PUSHED IN STICKS TO THE FLOOR FOR A COUPLE SECONDS BEFORE POPPING BACK UP. THE OTHER DAY, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE DUE TO THE CLUTCH BEING STUCK. I TOOK IT INTO NISSAN AND THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE MASTER SLAVE CYLINDER AS WELL AS THE MASTER HYDRAULIC CYLINDER, COSTING ME A TOTAL OF $1039. AT 26,XXX, THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS HAPPENING. I HAVE HEARD COUNTLESS OCCASIONS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM AND DEMAND A RECALL OR A REFUND FROM NISSAN.
NHTSA complaint #10714187 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE CLUTCH BEING FAULTY. IT LOSES PRESSURE EVERY NOW AND THEN, AND I HAVE TO PICK UP THE CLUTCH WITH MY FOOT MANUALLY OFF THE FLOOR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED ON ALL 2007 AND 2008 350Z'S. NISSAN CHANGED THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER AND MASTER CLUTCH CYLINDERS FROM 2007 TO 2008, HENCE ONLY THESE MODEL YEARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY DID RECALL A CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER BUT EVEN AFTER THEY DID THAT, IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. IF YOU REPLACE A PART WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART IT WILL BREAK DOWN AGAIN AND AGAIN... I'VE CALCULATED HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO GET A NEW CLUTCH AND REPLACE ALL THE DEFECTIVE PARTS WITH STRONGER PARTS THAT PEOPLE HAVE USED AND REVIEWED OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. IT WILL COST ME ABOUT $2000 JUST TO GET THE CLUTCH PARTS AND INSTALLATION. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS SUCH AN IMPORTANT JOB IN A CAR. IF THE CLUTCH PEDAL LOSES PRESSURE OR GOES DOWN AND DOESN'T COME BACK UP, YOU CAN GET IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR EVEN WORSE, DEATH. PLEASE HELP US 350Z OWNERS AND ENSURE THAT THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDES SAFETY IN THESE VEHICLES..
NHTSA complaint #10712332 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE AS SECOND OWNER WITH 24,000 MILES. AFTER A 2 YEARS OF USING THIS VEHICLE ON THE WEEKENDS, I START HEARING THE 5TH GEAR GRIND. I DID NOT PAID TO MUCH MIND BECAUSE IT DID IT NOW AND THEM, NOT EVERY TIME. 4 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, IT DID IT MORE OFTEN AND I KNEW IT WAS IN FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.. ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY 3RD GEAR MADE A VIBRATION AND A HORRIBLE SOUND AND THAT WAS WHEN I KNEW SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WAS GOING ON.. TODAY MY CAR LOST 3RD GEAR, IT WON'T TAKE, AFTER I PUT THE VEHICLE ON 3RD I ACCELERATED AND NOTHING HAPPENS. 5TH GEAR STILL GRINDS AND BUT STILL WORK. IT IS NOT MY CLUTCH BECAUSE 1ST 2ND 4TH AND 5TH AND 6TH STILL VERY STRONG PULL.. NOW I'M DRIVING THIS CAR TO WORK, GETTING MONEY TOGETHER WAITING FOR THE BREAK DOWN OR TRANSMISSION LOCK... I FEEL UNSAFE ON THE ROAD, BUT I DO HAVE TO GET TO WORK I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE AT THE TIME. I HATE MISTREATING MY Z THIS WAY.... 49,500 MILES ON THE TRANSMISSION..
NHTSA complaint #10690866 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ON 07/02/14 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT NEAR MY RESIDENCE PUSHED THE CLUTCH IN AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND CLUTCH DID NOT ENGAGE ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE HOME TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. I CHECKED THE FLUID IN THE CLUTCH CYLINDER AND IT WAS NEARLY EMPTY. I FILLED IT UP WITH DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID AND THE CLUTCH STARTED TO WORK SOME BUT THEN THE FLUID LEAKED OUT AGAIN.THE NEXT MORNING I GOT INTO THE CAR TO GO TO WORK AND THE CLUTCH WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. ON 7/3/14 I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATION AND EXPLAINED THAT ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET THEIR HAD BEEN A RE-CALL ON THE SLAVE CYLINDER(WHICH CAUSES THIS PROBLEM TO OCCUR) AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED AT THEIR EXPENSE. I LEFT MY CAR AT SHEEHEY NISSAN IN WALDORF MD WITH SERVICE ADVISOR [XXX] (301-843-5300) WHO STATED THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOOK THE CAR OVER TO DETERMINE IF THE MALFUNCTIONING PART IS THE SLAVE CYLINDER. ON 7/3/14 I SPOKE WITH [XXX] AT 1-800-647-7261 EXT 457390 CLAIM# [XXX] (NISSAN CORP) SHE ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONFIRM THE ISSUE THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEN THE INFORMATION WOULD BE FORWARDED UP TO THE REGIONAL DIST. OFFICE TO DETERMINE IF NISSAN WOULD REPAIR MY VEHICLE.TWO DAYS LATER I WAS CONTACTED BY [XXX] (1-800-343-6913 EXT [XXX]) FROM THE REGIONAL OFFICE AND SHE EXPLAINED THAT DUE TO THE CAR'S AGE AND BEING OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE. PLEASE REVIEW AND ASSIST ME WITH A PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO HONOR THE RE-CALL NOTWITHSTANDING IT BEING OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. A RECALL IS A RECALL ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE PART IS FAULTY AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED AT THEIR EXPENSE. PLEASE ASSIST. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
NHTSA complaint #10610695 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
NISSAN HAS A CLUTCH ORIFICE VALVE THAT HELPS REGULATE PRESSURE TO THE CLUTCH. THIS VALVE, WHEN FAULTY CAN CAUSE A CAR TO LOSE ABILITY TO SHIFT THEIR CAR INTO AND OR OUT OF GEAR. NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH ORIFICE VALVE, AND HAS DISCONTINUED ITS USE. THIS VALVE IS NOT LISTED IN NISSAN'S FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL, NOR IS IT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR PART. THIS PART CANNOT BE PURCHASED EITHER THROUGH NISSAN OR IT'S DEALERS, NOR IS IT AVAILABLE ONLINE THROUGH AN AFTERMARKET DEALER. AS A RESULT, NISSAN IS REQUIRING THAT THE FAULTY VALVE (30589-CF00B) BE REPLACED WITH THREE ADDITIONAL PARTS, AT THE CONSUMERS COST. THESE PARTS ARE CLUTCH ORIFICE VALVE (30650-CD000), TUBE ASSEMBLY (30851-CD00A), AND CLUTCH COVER ASSEMBLY (30205-JK0C). NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE THIS VALVE FOR ANY CONSUMER, UNLESS THEIR VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. GIVEN THAT THIS IS AN ENGINEERING ISSUE, AND NOT A CUSTOMER ISSUE, NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL FOR ANYONE WHO MAY EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE. THIS PART CAN CAUSE SEVERE SAFETY ISSUES TO NOT ONLY THE DRIVERS, BUT ANY PASSENGERS THEY HAVE AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS/VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. BY NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT INTO OR OUT OF GEAR, THIS SIMPLE $50 OEM VALVE, CAN CAUSE DRIVERS UNDUE HARM. THIS IS SIMPLY A MONETARY ISSUE FOR NISSAN, AND IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT ANY MOTORIST SHOULD HAVE TO ENDURE AS A RESULT OF THEIR FAULTS FOR CHOOSING A FAULTY PRODUCT.

NHTSA complaint #10508418 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
THE DATE IS WHEN I RECEIVED MY CAR FROM THE BODY SHOP AFTER 3-CAR WRECK. DROVE IT TO WORK AND THE CAR HAD NO POWER TO CLIMB A HILL. CALLED INSURANCE COMPANY, TOOK IT BACK THEY DID NO REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE, SO IT WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS THE CAR WASN'T DOWNSHIFTING PROPERLY, THEN IT STARTED MAKING A SOUND LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN A SPIN CYCLE AND SHOOT OUT CAUSING THE CAR TO GO FASTER. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP NOTHING. SO WITH THE CAR DOING THE SPIN CYCLE AND SHOOTING OUT FAST, IT STARTED MAKING THIS THUMPING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS WAS SO FREQUENT I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT DROP OUT, SO I TOOK IT TO TRANSMISSION SHOP; THEY FOUND A CODE FOR AN ELECTRICAL SOLENOID AND RESET IT. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. A WEEK LATER IT DID BUT ALL THE TIME. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THIS TIME THEY WITNESS THE PROBLEM AND CALLED THE CORPORATION TECH'S; WHO RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE IDLE RELEARN AND ODOMETER CLUSTER (MILES OFF). THEY WERE REPLACED BUT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, INSURANCE COMPANY SENT A THIRD PARTY INSPECTOR OUT. HE FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE ARE BAD AND IS NOT RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATION RECEIVED A CLAIM NUMBER, A MONTH LATER THEY CALLED TO SAY THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECKOUT MY PARKING BRAKE BECAUSE THE LIGHT FOR IT DIDN'T COME ON WITH THE OLD ODOMETER CLUSTER BECAUSE I DROVE MY CAR HOME FROM THEIR SHOP AND IT WAS ENGAGED BUT NOTHING INDICATING THAT IT WAS. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT EXPLODE FROM THE WRECK EITHER AND ALSO THE CAR TIRES WILL NOT MAINTAIN THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE. HAD TO GET MY OIL RECHECK SEVERAL TIMES AFTER GETTING THE OIL CHANGED. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE HERE IN HAWAII WITH ALL THIS TRAFFIC, STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE THE REPORT FROM THE INSPECTOR IF YOU WANT IT.
