Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.
Power Train · at 58,000 miles · reported Apr 2, 2021
The clutch slave cylinder failed which results in not being able to put the car in gear once you have stopped and placed the car in neutral. This failure happened at an intersection and caused me to not be able to proceed. One car almost slammed into me. Nissan has known about this inferior plastic part since 2009 and has not changed anything.
Engine · at 46,000 miles · reported Feb 13, 2020
In motion, car would not accelerate above 2500rpm suddenly. Sprocket was defective. Dealer/ manufacturer knows this is a problem, wont fix or cover under warranty.
Power Train · at 34,000 miles · reported Nov 20, 2018
The clutch slave cylinder failed on our 370z as the vehicle was driving on the highway and county roads. The clutch pedal would not return all the way back up thus causing the transmission to be stuck in the gear it was in, and be less in control of the vehicle. After doing more research since, this is a known problem with the nissan 370z due to the poor design of using a plastic constructed slave cylinder that is mounted in the transmission bell housing. This is something that nissan should have recalled by this point!
Power Train · at 28,000 miles · reported Jul 24, 2018
Was driving down the highway when I went to shift into another gear. The pedal felt "light", meaning it had less resistance in the first half of the stroke. In the remaining half of the stroke the clutch disengaged enough to shift gears. When releasing the clutch pedal, it remained stuck to the floor and I had to flip it to its released position with my foot. This behavior continued until I had the car towed to a service center
Air Bags · at 160 miles · reported Nov 7, 2017
The air bag disabled light is on when my wife sits in the passenger seat. She weighs 120lbs and is 5' 8" tall. I have taken the car to nissan several times and they say the sensor is working to spec.
