FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SENDING UNIT DOESNT WORK APPROPRIATELY. FULL TANK OF GAS AND IT SHOWS THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY GAS. THERE'S HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. IT'S A RISK SINCE A FALSE AMOUNT OF FUEL CAN LEAD TO THE VEHICLE STOPPING OUT OF NOWHERE ON A HIGHWAY/STREET WHICH CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ELECTRIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK WAS REPLACED IN A RECALL AT 25,824 MILES IN MAY 2013. CAR IN OCTOBER 2016 WITH 37746 NUKES HAD PROBLEMS STARTING, HAD TO PUSH, "START" BUTTON FROM TWO TO 12 TIMES TO GET VEHICLE TO START. FIRST DEALER REPLACED BATTERY, NEEDED TO BE DONE BUT PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. DEALER FOUND THAT STEERING COLUMN ELECTRIC LOCK WAS INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,103.50. THIS IS THE SAME PART THAT WAS REPLACED AS PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL. IF STALLED IN TRAFFIC IT COULD TAKE UP O 5 MINUTES TO START VEHICLE.

THE CLUTCH STICKS TO THE FLOOR MAKING IT HARD TO SHIFT. YOU HAVE TO PULL IT UP WITH YOUR FOOT. SOME SAY THESE CARS WERE MANUFACTURED WITH A POOR DESIGNED SLAVE CYLINDER. THE CLUTCH STICKS WHERE EVER YOU ARE DRIVING SOMETIMES IT WILL START BACK TO WORKING PROPERLY FOR A WHILE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A NISSAN DEALER TWICE, IT WILL OPERATE PROPERLY FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN START TO STICKING TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. THE DATE BELOW REFLECT THE MOST RECENT TIME OR LAST TIME FOR THE CLUTCH FAILURE. 11/11/16

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN 370Z. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THE GTI FLUID WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO MONTHS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SWITCH GEARS WITH THE CLUTCH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO GET A SECOND OPINION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. UPDATED 01/11/2017*CT UPDATED 7/5/18*JB

STEERING
ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2016, I ATTEMPTED TO START MY 2010 NISSAN 370Z NISMO WITH THE INTELLIGENT KEY TO NO AVAIL. I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE VOLTAGE ON THE CAR BATTERY AND DISCONNECTED IT FOR 30 MIN IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESET THE COMPUTER. I ALSO CHANGED THE BATTERY IN THE FOB, WHICH DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. I INSERTED THE INTELLIGENT KEY AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE WINDOWS DOWN, BUT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE WHEEL WAS NOT LOCKED. I WENT TO VARIOUS BLOG SITES AND LEARNED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE 370Z AND GTR MODEL YEARS 2009-2010. I ALSO CHECKED ALL THE FUSES, AND NONE WERE FOUND TO BE FAULTY. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS MODEL FOR THE STEERING LOCK MECHANISM, AND THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST IN EXCESS OF $1,100.00. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE FLATBED FEE TO TOW THE VEHICLE FROM MY HOME TO THE DEALER. ACCORDING TO NISSAN'S VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN 2009-2011, NHTSA REFERENCE #10051829, TSB #NTB13-014, CAMPAIGN #P3208, THE DEALER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE FAULTY STEERING LOCK MODULE AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. I CALLED MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. WHAT SENSE DOES THIS MAKE IF THE SAME ISSUE AND SAME PART WAS USED ON ALL VEHICLES THAT ARE FAILING BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM? I WISH TO RECEIVE IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY DISABLED, AS I AM WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO DRIVE MY CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TRYING TO START MY 2009 370Z APPROX 35K MILES, I HAVE TO PUSH THE START BUTTON 2-7 TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO START. CHECKED CLUTCH SWITCH POSITION, IT IS OKAY. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL START ON THE FIRST TIME PUSHING THE START BUTTON. GET IN CAR, DEPRESS CLUTCH WHEN LIGHT COMES ON, PUSH START BUTTON, ON LIGHTS, NO START , PUSH AGAIN ACCESS LIGHT ON, NOTHING, AGAIN OFF LIGHT, PUSH AGAIN, AND SO ON UNTIL STARTS. DEALER HAD NO ANSWERS. REPLACED BATTERY IN BOTH KEYS, NO DIFFERENCE. HAS BEEN AN ISSUE A COUPLE TIMES AFTER STALLING IN TRAFFIC.

***NISSAN 2013 370Z (MT) CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER *** PURCHASE BRAND NEW. IN MARCH OF 2013, JUST 2K MILES THE SLAVE CYLINDER FAILED. REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. ON 6/17/2016, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY CLUTCH FAILED DURING TRAFFIC HOURS ON THE 60 EAST FWY. I COULD NOT SHIFT THE GEAR TO GET TO LOWER OR HIGHER GEAR. THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO GET ON THE SHOULDER LANE TO STOP SAFELY. THIS HAPPENED AT 3,100 MILES. YES, JUST AFTER MY FACTORY WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED. CSC IS NOT COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BUT NISSAN HAS AGREED TO FULLY PAY FOR THE SECOND REPLACEMENT. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN CAUSE BODILY HARM WHEN DRIVING AND CLUTCH FAILS. ALSO I BELONG TO A NISSAN SOCIAL COMMUNITY FORUMS AND THERE ARE MANY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. BE SAFE OUT THERE. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DURING HEAVY BUSINESS HOURS MY CLUTCH STAYED STUCK ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM, WITHOUT ME BEING ABLE TO SHIFT. I GOT IN TO A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO START ANYMORE, SO I HAD TO TOW IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY DIAGNOSED IT AND CLAIMED IT IS THE CSC.

AT AROUND THE MD BORDER, WHEN DRIVING HOME TO NJ FROM TN, THE CLUTCH STUCK TO THE FLOOR. I COULDN'T CHANGE OUT OF 6TH GEAR, SO I HAD TO DRIVE FROM THAT POINT WITHOUT SLOWING ENOUGH TO HAVE TO CHANGE GEARS OR STOPPING. AFTER I GOT OFF AT MY EXIT AND HIT A STOP LIGHT, I FORCED IT OUT OF 6TH GEAR BEFORE IT STALLED, THEN PUMPED THE CLUTCH (PRESSING IT THEN LIFTING IT BACK UP WITH MY FOOT) UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO 1ST THEN 3RD GEAR AND I DROVE IT MOST OF THE WAY TO CHERRY HILL NISSAN IN 3RD GEAR. AT THE LIGHT NEXT TO THE DEALERSHIP, PUMPED THE CLUTCH UNTIL I GOT IT INTO FIRST GEAR AND COULD NOT CHANGE GEARS ANYMORE. I HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPOT THEN STALL THE ENGINE BY HOLDING THE BRAKES. THE CLUTCH STICKING TO THE FLOOR HAS HAPPENED TO ME A FEW TIMES BEFORE, NORMALLY ON LONG DRIVES, BUT I WAS ALWAYS ABLE TO PUMP THE CLUTCH A FEW TIMES AND IT WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED AT 39574 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING. BEING STUCK IN A GEAR IS PRETTY SCARY. THE CONCENTRIC SLAVE CYLINDER (CSC) FAILURE CAUSES THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS EVEN HAPPENED ON THE 350Z AND THE GT-R. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. THE FIRST COMPLAINT ON NHTSA WAS FILED ON 09/18/2010, AND THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS SINCE THEN. SOMEONE, PLEASE CONDUCT A SAFETY INVESTIGATION. EDIT 5/18/2016: I ADDED A SCAN OF MY $1400 BILL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, WHEELS
HAD TO GO GET EMERGENCY COUGH MEDICATION FOR SPOUSE AT 2:30AM. AFTER LEAVING WALGREEN, WAS UNABLE TO START MY CAR. THE KEY FOB HAS ENOUGH BATTERY POWER BUT THE ENGINE IGNITION STAYED ON "LOCK" AND COULD NOT DETECT KEY FOB. AFTER TRYING TO AN HOUR TO "GOOGLE" AND "YOUTUBE" AND TRIED EVERYTHING I COULD FIND TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT WITH NO LUCK. HAD TO CONTACT SPOUSE TO PICK ME UP AT 3:00AM. TOWED TO A MECHANIC BECAUSE AFTER CONTACTING 3 DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERS AND CALLING THE NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, LEARNED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS CASE. HOWEVER, BEEN READING PLENTY OF FORUM ON THE SAME THING FOR OTHER NISSAN 370ZS ON THIS VERY SAME INCIDENT. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE STEERING MODULE WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND REPLACED THE UNIT AFTER $1,431.46. + $28 TOWING FEE. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS IN A SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD ALTHOUGH IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. BUT I FEEL THAT THIS STEERING LOCK MALFUNCTION IS TOO COMMON TO NISSAN DEALERS AND THEIR CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO NOT LOOK IN TO. MILEAGE ON VEHICLE IS 33,387.
