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.

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.

MY WIFE HAS TAKEN HER 350Z INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR A LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT. EVERYTIME, THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THIS MOST RECENT TIME, HOWEVER, SHE TOOK THE CAR IN ON 3/16/2012. WHILE SHE WAITED, THE MECHANIC AND SERVICE TECH INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. UPON COMPLETION OF INSPECTION, THEY INFORMED HER THAT THREE OF THE FOUR RIMS HAD NOTICEABLE CRACKS IN THEM. SHE WAS INSTRUCTED TO RETURN WITH THE VEHICLE ON 3/19/2012 AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT NISSAN WOULD PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT AS, ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN, IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THESE RIMS. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN TO LEARN THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THESE RIMS BUT THROUGH INTERNET SEARCHES HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I FIND IT DISTURBING THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS AND/OR ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THESE RIMS AND YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. *JS

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER FREEWAY SPEED, THE CVT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REMAINS IN HIGH SPEED, IT DOES NOT SHIFT INTO A LOWER SPEED WHEN I AM TRYING TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THERE IS LEAKAGE AND BURNT SMELL COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IT WAS TESTED IN TWO LOCATIONS AND THE VEHICLE HAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. NISSAN DOES NOT OFFER REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS AND USED TRANSMISSIONS ARE JUST AS RISKY TO INSTALL. NEW TRANSMISSIONS ARE MORE COSTLY THAN WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH. *TR

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

1 complaint

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.. *TR

TIRES

1 complaint

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
