Consumer Description

WITH MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA, WHEN THE CLUTCH HAS HEAVY USAGE, FOR EXAMPLE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE CLUTCH PEDAL GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND STAYS THERE - I HAVE NO PRESSURE AND I CANNOT GET THE CLUTCH IN. AFTER I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CLUTCH OPERATION RETURNS TO NORMAL AFTER 10-15 MINUTES. THIS HAS OCCURRED 6-7 TIMES (MY CAR HAS 24,000+ MILES ON IT) AND FROM AN INTERNET SEARCH IS BEING EXPERIENCED BY MANY FRUSTRATED NISSAN DRIVERS. THOUGH IT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY IT IS OFTEN ENOUGH TO HAVE CREATED SEVERAL FRIGHTENING SITUATIONS FOR ME IN TRAFFIC, PARTICULARLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND LATE AT NIGHT. THE DEALER STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT AREN'T SURE OF THE CAUSE WHILE THE MOST REASONABLE EXPLANATIONS ONLINE POINT TO ENGINE HEAT AFFECTING THE MASTER CYLINDER WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING SLOWLY. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS BEEN OF LIMITED HELP IN HELPING US RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR
