STEERING
THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I WAS STRANDED AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING LOCK UNIT STATING THAT IT WAS "BAD". THE SAME THING IS NOTED ON A RECALL ISSUED FOR 2009 AND 2010 NISSAN 370 Z, BUT NO RECALL FOR THE 2011 EVEN THOUGH T IS THE SAME PART.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ON JUNE 27TH OF 2017, DRIVING FROM VANCOUVER,WA TO PORTLAND, OR. AS I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY INTO THE EXIT TO MY WORK THERE WAS A STOP LIGHT. I PUT MY CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND AS SOON AS THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY CAR INTO CAR AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND WASN'T ABLE TO PUT IT INTO GEAR. I WAS STUCK ON THE LIGHT AND HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO CALL INTO WORK AND CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TOW ME HOME. I WAS VERY UPSET AND ANGRY.

THE PROBLEM: DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK (ESCL) ON 12/01/16 I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AFTER IT BECAME DISABLED BY WHAT I WAS ADVISED WAS THE FAILURE OF THE ESCL UNIT. THE COST OF THE REPAIRS TOTALED $1094.20. IN ADDITION, DUE TO THE LATENESS OF THE HOUR I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS WITHOUT THE USE OF MY VEHICLE THAT EVENING THROUGH MIDDAY OF THE FOLLOWING DAY. MY OWN ON-LINE RESEARCH LED ME TO THE DISCOVERY THAT THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO NISSAN, AND THERE HAD BEEN A TSB CAMPAIGN A FEW YEARS PRIOR THAT I HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF OR INCLUDED IN BY THE NISSAN CORP. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL NISSAN CONSUMER FOR YEARS, AND MY CURRENT VEHICLE THAT WAS AFFECTED BY THIS BREAKDOWN, IS ACTUALLY MY FOURTH "Z" VEHICLE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND DISPLEASED BY HOW NISSAN HAS CHOSEN TO HANDLE THIS ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
HAD NO PRESSURE IN CLUTCH ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND KEPT GETTING STUCK AFTER RELEASING IT. HAD THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL REPLACED, PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR A WHILE. BUT IT'S BEEN LESS THAN A YEAR, AND I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, AND THE CLUTCH SUDDENLY HAD NO PRESSURE HALFWAY AGAIN. NOW THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER OR CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER. IT HAPPENED SUDDENLY ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO INDICATION OF WARNING. I STILL HAVE STOCK POWER TERRAIN PARTS. I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE ON 370Z FORUM WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 370Z 2010 IS ALL CRACKED UP, I HAVE LOOKED AT MANY OTHER 370Z AND THEY ARE ALL WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS AND ARE AWAITING A RECALL FROM FACTORY.

POWER TRAIN
CONCENTRIC SLAVE CYLINDER LEAKED ALL OF THE CLUTCH FLUID WHILE PARKED OVERNIGHT. CLUTCH PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN WE TRIED TO START THE CAR IN THE MORNING. WHILE LOOKING FOR CAUSE OF PROBLEN, I FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON LINE FOR VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM, GOING BACK AS FAR AS AT LEAST 2009 AND UP TO THE CUNNRENT MODEL YEAR. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, NISSAN WONT COVER IT UNDER THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, SAYING IT IS A CLUTCH ISSUE. IT IS LOCATED INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION BELL HOUSING. MY WARRANTY BOOK DOES NOT EXCLUDE THIS ITEM, NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE CALLS IT PART OF THE CLUTCH ITEM AND CLAIMS ITS NOT COVERED. SO REPAIR HAS BEEN DENIED BY DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT. THE CONSENSUS IS THAT THIS CYLINDER IS FAILING AND NOT ROBUST BECAUSE IT IS MADE OF PLASTIC, AND IS LOSING ITS ROUND SHAPE WHEN HOT, THEREFORE CAUSING THE SEAL TO FAIL AND THE CLUTCH FLUID TO DRAIN. BY BILL TO REPAIR LOCALLY WAS 1012, WHICH INCLUDED DROPPING THE TRANSMISSION AND INSTALLING A ROBUST (METAL) AFTERMARKET CSC. THIS NISSAN CSC IS A DOCUMENTED FAILING PART AND I FEEL IT SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT, WITH OWNERS WHO HAVE ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED BEING REIMBURSED FOR THEIR EXPENSES. I TALKED TO JENNIFER AT NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE, AND MY CASE NUMBER WAS 25999561

AIR BAGS
SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES CONTINUOUSLY WHILE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. DEALER TROUBLESHOT AND DETERMINED THAT OCCUPANT SENSOR UNIT FAILED. ANY ONE OF 3 THINGS COULD BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. EACH HAD TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER WITH NO GUARANTEE AND NO REFUND IF REPLACEMENT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. DEALER REPLACED AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT FOR $1,442.17, WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NEXT DEALER WANTED TO REPLACE OCCUPANT SENSOR UNIT (SEAT CUSHION) FOR $4,107.00. IF THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, THEN REPLACE WIRING HARNESS. AFTER SPENDING $1,442.32, I WAS UNWILLING TO ADD ANOTHER $4K WITH NO ASSURANCE THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED. NISSAN DOES NOT APPEAR CAPABLE OF IDENTIFYING WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, NOR CAN THEY FIX IT WITHOUT NUMEROUS COSTLY ATTEMPTS THAT ARE PRETTY MUCH SHOTS IN THE DARK. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE WITH UNKNOWN AIR BAG CAPABILITIES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
STEERING WHEEL LOCK SENSOR BROKE, FAILED IN LOCK POSITION, HAPPENS TO MOST EVERY NISSAN FOB KEY SYSTEM AT 1 TIME OR ANOTHER. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $1100.00 TO FIX AND IT TOOK THEM LESS THAN 2 HOURS. THIS IS A SCAM BY NISSAN AND THE INTERNET IS FULL OF PEOPLE COMPALINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT LEFT ME STRANDED AND I HAD TO BE TOWED. PLEASE MAKE NISSAN START A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THE STEERING LOCK FAILS IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO START.

I GOT INTO MY CAR IN THE GARAGE AND TRIED TO START IT BY FIRST PUSHING THE CLUTCH AND PRESSING THE START BUTTON. WHILE PUSHING THE CLUTCH DOWN, IT FELL TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE AND NEVER CAME BACK UP. I HAVE TO LIFT IT WITH MY LEFT FOOT.

WHILE DRIVING, NOTICED CLUTCH PEDAL NOT RETURNING TO NORMAL POSITION. EVENTUALLY THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT DISENGAGE CAUSING A SITUATION WHERE IT WAS NOT EASY TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROADWAY AND TRAFFIC SAFELY. THIS CAUSED A HAZARD TO OTHER TRAFFIC AND ME. AFTER INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE AND ONLINE RESEARCH ITS CONCLUDED THAT THIS WAS A CSC FAILURE LEAKING CLUTCH FLUID INTERNALLY. MY RESEARCH HAS CONCLUDED THAT THIS IS DUE TO USING AN INFERIOR PRODUCT OR MATERIALS. HOPING FOR A RECALL DUE TO ALL THE DOCUMENTED FAILURES. THANK YOU

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT AFTER MY SECURITY STEERING LOCK MECHANISM LOCKED THE CAR AND WOULD NOT ALLOW IT TO TURN ON OR EVEN TO ACC MODE. SINCE THE CAR LOCKED UP, I HAVE TWO LIGHTS ON MY DASH THAT WILL NOT TURN OFF. I WAS STRANDED FOR HOURS AND COULD NOT GET AN AVAILABLE TOW TRUCK TO PICK MY CAR UP. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS, I WAS ABLE TO GET A FAMILY MEMBER TO DRIVE A LONG WAYS TO COME GET ME. MY CAR IS STILL IN THE PARKING LOT AND WAITING TO GET A TOW TRUCK TO PICK IT UP! ONLY ISSUE WITH THE TOW, MY CAR WON'T EVEN ALLOW THE SHIFTER TO MOVE INTO NEUTRAL! THE TOW COMPANY SAID THEY CAN'T PROMISE THE CAR CAN EVEN BE TOWED IF THEY CAN'T SAFELY STEER IT ONTO THE FLAT BAD TRUCK!

STEERING
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
I HAVE A NISSAN 370 Z AND UP TO THIS POINT I REALLY ENJOYED THE CAR THAT WAS UNTIL AN KNOWN ISSUE OF THE STEERING LOCK WENT OUT ON MY CAR AND LEFT ME STRANDED FOR 16 HOURS. I CALLED NISSAN AFTER I SPENT $1162.00 TO TRY TO GET REIMBURSED. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD I WOULD NOT REIMBURSED WHICH AFTER READING ONLINE HOW SOME PEOPLE WERE REFUSED REIMBURSEMENT INITIALLY I KEPT PURSUING A REIMBURSEMENT. STEPHANIE FROM A REGIONAL OFFICE CALLED AND BASICALLY TRIED TO LOW BALL ME BY OFFERING $500 REIMBURSEMENT. BELOW IS A FORUM LINK FOR THE KNOWN ISSUE OF THE STEERING LOCK. OTHER CUSTOMERS WERE OFFERED A FULL REIMBURSEMENT BUT FOR SOME REASON I AM NOT. THIS IS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER EVER SINCE. I THEREFORE WOULD LIKE A FULL REIMBURSEMENT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS ONLY FAIR. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN STRANDED ON THE WAY TO VISIT AN AIRFORCE BUDDY IN ALAMOGORDO NM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT WITH SPOTTY CELL PHONE SERVICE. 16 HOURS STRANDED COULD HAVE EASILY TURNED INTO SOMETHING MUCH WORSE. MY CASE FILE IS 24957255. HTTP://WWW.THE370Z.COM/NEW-ROADSTER-370Z-OWNER/65272-ATTENTION-2009-2010-OWNERS-STEERING-LOCK-WONT-START-ISSUES.HTML THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND MUST BE ADDRESSED.
