Nissan says they have not seen this problem
I didn't know about this problem until it happened to me. Clutch went to the floor, I went to the forum and saw it is the clutch slave cylinder. I had bought some protection plan so they will fix it for a $50 deductible. 2009 370Z with 39K miles. Drove a long way in 3rd gear either running stop signs or red lights or I would have been stranded a long way from home in north Kansas City...in the dark.

I wonder if that would work, "I'm sorry officer my clutch pedal was stuck, I didn't mean to run all those red lights and stop signs."
Worked for all those people driving toyotas "I'm sorry officer my accelerator was stuck, I didn't mean to do 120mph" |

Not if it is a small dealer, my local Nissan dealer is tiny, they probably see maybe one or 2 Zs a month, they are surrounded by bigger Dealers closer to the city, which get more traffic.

If it happens to you
As far as being "stupid" or running the risk of a ticket, I only drove home tha way and parked the car. I had no way to get home otherwise. It was a 55 minute drive. Imagine the walk. I can't call a tow truck or anything else. At the risk of boring everyone, my ex-wife and I had an agreement that child support ended when our daughters turned 18. But the stupid state of Missouri does not care. She filed claiming I should pay until they are 21. One is 21 and the other turning 23. They ageed and are retroactively docking me $1250.00 a month, seized my income tax refunds, and reported me as a bad debt to credit agencies. Yes, I have a lawyer. I have been to court twice and to hearings with the family services twice. I am deep in debt, owe money everywhere, can't afford my diabetes meds, or anything remotely close to a hamburger these days. My next court date is in June. And, I am not a young man. I'm an old dude close to retirement. Unless you are/were in my shoes, you'd have no idea how bad this gets. So I had no choice to drive it home. A friend has lent me a car and another got my car towed for me. Now I am hoping and praying it is covered under the extended warranty. I found the $50 dollar deductible and my attorney is good about me making "payments." Wish me luck. If you don't hear from me again, it went badly in June and I am living in the wilds of Alaska hiding out my final days.

My local dealers claim the CSC is a "wearable" part after I showed them the sticky thread on this forum about CSC failures. That is complete bull$hit. Who in their right mind would design a $100 "wearable" part that requires dropping the transmission and about $800 in labor? Fvck you, Nissan

For JarBlue
I asked Nissan if they had visited these forums and the answer was no. According to the 350Z and 370 Z forum, failure of the clutch slave cylinder is widespread. I may be wrong, but it is my impression that there was a recall on the 350s. When I bought my Pathfinder, I had no idea that there was a radiator defect that struck at around 60K miles allowing radiator fluid to flow into the transmissioin killing it. I traded the Pathfinder in on the Z at 30K. It was a 2006 model. In 2012, I received a letter saying Nissan had "settled" with the government and would replace the transmission etc free if I still had it. I am sitting here on pins and needles waiting for the call telling me what is wrong.
