Description of the problem | Takata recall. I first occurred a problem with the z on my wedding day. My clutch dropped to the floor and we couldn't get the car in gear. We were put in the middle of the mountains with no way to call a tow truck so we did our best to make it to the closest nissan dealer. On the way we came to a four way red light and couldn't shift to a low enough gear to get to car to slow down, a semi was traveling about 60 mph right at us, we swerved into the emergency on and the truck to barely missed us. After that my husband found out from a mechanic that he should bleed the clutch so he did and the clutch was normal again. Besides that the car has had only one other occurrence with the clutch. I am petrified to drive my car after that situation but i have no choice considering i spend most of my paycheck just to pay for the one thing that will probably send me to my grave. This is a very serious problem and should be fixed! Now to mention this morning... I woke up to go to work and went to start my car when my car wouldn't start due to a steering lock malfunction and will probably end up having to take it to a dealership if my research doesn't work out as planned. The brake light comes on when i push the clutch... The traction control light comes on and stays on for long periods. This car is going to hurt someone bad! Worried about the people drinking and driving? You should be worried about the people driving a nissan 370z !!!! So frustrated! |
