| Description of the problem | There is a recurring issues with this vehicle where if driving long distances suddenly the clutch would go to the floor and eventually lose all resistance and make the car undrivable. I discovered this shortly after i purchased the vehicle at 20000 miles. I took it back to the place i purchased from and because it was intermittent they could not reproduce the issue. The next time it happened i was told to take it to the dealer. The problem came back and i was told i needed to make an appointment at the dealer. By the time i took it to the dealer it was again not happening so they were not able to find the problem. Saturday the 18th of jan. It happened again and i was able to take it to the dealer while it was happening. They found the problem was the slave cylinder leaking but because now i am over the warranty nissan will not cover the issue. I have researched this issue and seen several people complaining about the intermittent issue with the clutch that goes to the floor with very low miles on the car. The issue seems to be that the part that breaks is plastic and nissan hasn't redesigned it since the 350z models that also experience the same issue. Please can someone look into this? |
