I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN 350Z THAT IS DEVELOPING CLUTCH ISSUES, POOR ENGAGEMENT, SLIPPING, AND SOME RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THE CLUTCH IS NOT ENGAGED. I HAVE CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED NISSAN ABOUT IT BUT THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND THEY QUOTE IT AS NORMAL. I HAVE DRIVEN STICK ALL MY LIFE AND NEVER EXPERIENCE SUCH ISSUES. *TR

CLUTCH GOES HARD AND DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO DISENGAGE CLUTCH....ONCE DISENGAGED IT WILL NOT COME OFF THE FLOOR TO GO BACK IN GEAR. THIS PROHIBITS THE DRIVER TO REENGAGE CLUTCH...HAPPENS SPORADICALLY AFTER 30+ MINS OF DRIVING...ALMOST CRASHED TWICE... *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN 350Z. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WOULD EXCESSIVELY VIBRATE. HE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY DRIFT WITHOUT WARNING. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPAIRED THE HUB ASSEMBLY. SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER THE REPAIR, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE BEARING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR AND WOULD NOT RETURN TO IT PROPER UPRIGHT POSITION. I HAD TO WORK MY WAY OFF THE FREEWAY WITH OUT THE USE OF A CLUTCH. I HAD TO STOP AND START THE ENGINE AS I MADE MY WAY OFF THE FREEWAY. AFTER SETTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CLUTCH RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL UPRIGHT POSITION AND HAS WORKED SINCE. I'M AVOIDING HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NISSAN 2007, 350Z FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. UPON NOTICING THE TPMS LIGHT ON, A LONG SERIES OF EVENTS LED US TO DISCOVER THAT THE WHEELS AND TIRES ON THE CAR ARE NOT ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK DELIVERY OF THE CAR, SOLD IT TO ORIGINAL OWNER, SERVICED IT AND RESOLD IT TO US. THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO GIVE US INFORMATION OR SATISFACTION REGARDING THIS MATTER. I HAVE NO WAY TO BE SURE THE VEHICLE IS SAFE WITH THESE WHEELS AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

MY CARS CLUTCH WILL STICK TO THE FLOOR FOR A SECOND OR 2.TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEED TO AUTHORIZE TEAR DOWN TO CHECK PROBLEM(I NEED TO PAY).THE CAR HAD 2500 MI ON IT WHEN IT HAPPENED BEFORE. IT IS INTERMITTENT. CAR HAS 5,900 MI., KNOW AND IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE IS LOOKING INTO IT BECAUSE I WON'T PAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT EXIST WITH THIS CAR. NISSANS CAMPAIGN ID# P7252 COVERS CARS LIKE MINE BUT STOPS 138 CARS BYE THE VIN#.THIS IS POTENTIALLY A PROBLEM MERGING INTO TRAFFIC IF YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE! *TR

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
2007 NISSAN 350Z CLUTCH PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM HAPPENED WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, THE CLUTCH SLIPS IN TRAFFIC, AFTER IT HEATS UP THE POORLY MADE PRODUCT STARTS TO SLIP. I THOUGHT ABOUT HAVING IT REPLACED BECAUSE I HAVE WARRANTY BUT ITS A PROBLEM IN ALL THE 07 350Z'S. REPLACING A POORLY DESIGNED CLUTCH WITH ANOTHER POORLY DESIGNED CLUTCH REALLY WOULDN'T HELP. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS! *TR

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
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

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
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

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

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
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

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
