Description of the problem | When i entered my car to leave in the morning my clutch pedal had next to no pressure when depressed. The clutch would only disengage with approximately half an inch before reaching the floor. I immediately shut my car off and called the nissan service center. I was advised to bring my car in. After waiting for traffic to subside i nervously drove my car to the service center without incident. While driving, i noted that the pressure in my clutch pedal was getting worse. Had this started while driving i could have been severely injured, or worse. The nissan service center determined that the faulty part was the clutch concentric slave cylinder. This part is somehow not covered in my vehicle's power train warranty, even through it is an internal part of the transmission. I am fortunate that this did not happen while i was driving my car, as things could have been much worse. Nissan has been reluctant to even acknowledge that this has been an issue with this vehicle, even though there are many complaints about this failure, which is easily discovered when doing investigation online. |
