.... And going on time number 4 it looks like at this point. Have had it only about 3 months now, and it's just turning 40K miles on our Z and we have had ours replaced 3 times now, and one of the tell tail signs "Blinking Cruise Light" is one of the symptoms we noticed the other 2 times, and it's happening again. Looks like we will be watching for the pedal drop .... SMH! I think if it happens again like this, i'm pushing for Replacement, this is just such BULLS****

Damn that sucks. I haven't read thru all the pages but are you getting master replaced at the same time?
Since the mod shops recommend replacing the master when you get hd csc, wouldn't the same apply to stock?

just got mine replaced under warranty @ 21xxx miles. Nissan has a sick sense of humor, because they gave me a juke clown car to drive around in the mean time.

So I can't tell if it's my csc or possibly my master that's screwed but I would assume.my csc. My clutch has been perfectly fine for months until the other day it started to lose a little pressure. If I kept pumping the pedal it would gain some pressure back but the pedal would never stick to the floor.

So i decided to bleed the csc and see if I just had air in there and now my pedal has no pressure left at all. Tried bleeding iy again today and still nothing. So safe to assume it's the csc?

Bananaz, my personal experience is similar to yours. Pedal never went to the floor before I started bleeding the system. I'm pretty sure it was just the master. I replaced the CSC with the Z1 CSCEK as a preventative measure. The OEM CSC seemed to be in ok shape upon removal.

I would try just the CMC first (if the downtime is an option). I recommend you bench bleed the CMC when you install it. If you do replace the CSC, be sure you replace the CMC also.

I was thinking of doing that actually. I'll buy both but I'll bench bleed the new master and I install it and bleed the system again and see if jt works

You and me both, brother

I've argued with three different dealerships about it and even spoken with NNA twice. They won't budge on powertrain warranty coverage or even acknowledge that a problem exists.

Ridiculous. I was fine after I replaced the master and switched to rbf600 fluid but now it started again except this time I'm losing a lot of fluid so the csc is def leaking

A recall has not been issued as there has not been enough complaints filed with the federal gov't (website Home | National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)), regarding this problem. A lot of people who have this problem will complain on this forum but (for some reason) will not file a complaint with the gov't, which would prompt them to conduct research or initiate a recall. Recalls normally starts when many customers file complaints about a defective part. If only a few people complain, then the gov't doesn't see this as a mass problem. The steering wheel lock recall was prompted by numerous people filing complaints with the NHTSA.GOV. IJS

I just caved in and bought the z1 cscek. If you think about it, what good would a recall do? Everyone would just get another plastic csc that would fail again. It would just leave you stranded.

Tow truck is on the way with my baby now! ;-)


For those of you having the same issue... if you have the diagnosis paperwork from anytime you might have had this fixed please contact:

Marash @ customer care ext 457354 and she will create a ticket to hopefully escalate to HQ. LETS GET THIS THING RECALLED!

FYI clutch is covered under drive train if you didn't know.

thanks.
