This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
