Sticky: (Official) 370Z Clutch Pressure (CSC) Failures

Man, if you brought that list alone to the news, I garauntee they'd jump on that, a little bit of research on their part, they could find out if anyone was hurt/injured or died in direct cause of this defect.

Well take a "page out of my play book". Like many who attend car meets/shows who have a sign displayed of mods/dyno runs of their car, I also intend to have a sign of CSC failure. I'm including complaints (emails) to Nissan I have sent with Nissan replies, pics of my Z being towed, its exhaust/transmission being taken out, copies of invoices showing costs(labor, Tow, parts). I will post this at every Nissan dealership car show/meet I attend as well as all " Z DAY" functions, and other such events. Then I will take photos of my vehicle being display this way at these events and post them online as well as forward them to Nissan.

I was just over 2000 actually, BamBam.

Wonder how long before we have a 2016 up there.

KoolKarmaJoe

When do they 2016's get released? Estimate about a month after that.

Anyone on the 370z fb group? Please make a post and share the link to this thread to spread the word. The more attention we can get the better.

Yeah I already went down the corporate route when it happened. I did get the car back a day earlier than they originally told me but still lost Memorial Day weekend to a bottom feeder Kia Rio rental, but that was it. :\

KoolKarmaJoe

Oh no ,, a Kia RIO? Seriously? That is just Wrong on so many levels.

Nissan would hate you for contacting the news, but you'd be doing a pretty noble thing for a sh1t ton of people.

looking at the bigger picture, i can assure you, if someone went to the news, the bad press alone will MAKE nissan act, bad press = lost sales (usually)

The trick is getting the press to take it up.

eastwest2300

why wouldnt they, I mean, this is a serious issue that could potentially injur or kill someone.

That's why I think we should get this stuff out all over the social media outlets first. It's easier because the more attention we can drum up online the press are more inclined to talk about it.

I think we should clarify by stating that there are two distinct issues being reported across the 49 pages so far; a completely limp clutch pedal - generally attributed to a CSC failure. This also means you have a leak which will be observable in a low clutch fluid reservoir from the driver's side engine bay compartment. Your clutch pedal is sitting on the floor board and you have to lift it with your foot.

The second scenario is just a Master Cylinder failure where the clutch pedal only returns 20%-60%. This is also problematic because the car is practically undrivable, at least in a safe manner. The clutch engagement point is about the first inch of release the clutch pedal. You better hope you don't run into any large inclines on surface streets. These issues have really put me off to the 370Z and Nissan in general. If they address it, I will reconsider, and would strongly consider continuing my long standing loyalty.
