NHTSA Complaint #10865597 — 2009 NISSAN 370Z

AT AROUND THE MD BORDER, WHEN DRIVING HOME TO NJ FROM TN, THE CLUTCH STUCK TO THE FLOOR. I COULDN'T CHANGE OUT OF 6TH GEAR, SO I HAD TO DRIVE FROM THAT POINT WITHOUT SLOWING ENOUGH TO HAVE TO CHANGE GEARS OR STOPPING. AFTER I GOT OFF AT MY EXIT AND HIT A STOP LIGHT, I FORCED IT OUT OF 6TH GEAR BEFORE IT STALLED, THEN PUMPED THE CLUTCH (PRESSING IT THEN LIFTING IT BACK UP WITH MY FOOT) UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO 1ST THEN 3RD GEAR AND I DROVE IT MOST OF THE WAY TO CHERRY HILL NISSAN IN 3RD GEAR. AT THE LIGHT NEXT TO THE DEALERSHIP, PUMPED THE CLUTCH UNTIL I GOT IT INTO FIRST GEAR AND COULD NOT CHANGE GEARS ANYMORE. I HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPOT THEN STALL THE ENGINE BY HOLDING THE BRAKES. THE CLUTCH STICKING TO THE FLOOR HAS HAPPENED TO ME A FEW TIMES BEFORE, NORMALLY ON LONG DRIVES, BUT I WAS ALWAYS ABLE TO PUMP THE CLUTCH A FEW TIMES AND IT WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED AT 39574 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING. BEING STUCK IN A GEAR IS PRETTY SCARY. THE CONCENTRIC SLAVE CYLINDER (CSC) FAILURE CAUSES THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS EVEN HAPPENED ON THE 350Z AND THE GT-R. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. THE FIRST COMPLAINT ON NHTSA WAS FILED ON 09/18/2010, AND THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS SINCE THEN. SOMEONE, PLEASE CONDUCT A SAFETY INVESTIGATION. EDIT 5/18/2016: I ADDED A SCAN OF MY $1400 BILL.
