NHTSA Complaint #11329488 — 2014 NISSAN 370Z

MY CLUTCH WOULD NOT COME OFF THE FLOORBOARD. I COULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. THIS HAPPEN 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AFTER I WOULD MAKE LONG FREEWAY TRIPS WITHOUT SHIFTING. I HAD 3 DIFFERENT, WELL ESTABLISHED MECHANICS LOOK AT MY AND DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. AS I WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK. I FOUND A LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR A FAULTY (CONCENTRIC) CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER! ON 2 OF THE OCCASIONS I WOULD LET MY CAR COOL DOWN FOR AN HOUR OR SO AND IT WOULD BE FINE. ON THIS OCCASION, I LET MY SIT OVER NIGHT. THE NEXT DAY MY CLUTCH WAS STILL ON THE FLOOR. I FULLED THE CLUTCH OFF THE FLOOR WITH MY FOOT. I TURNED THE CAR ON. THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD ALMOST GOING INTO THE HOTEL BUILDING. I PULLED THE E-BREAK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN RENTON WA. I HAD TO EXPLAIN TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE LAWSUIT ON THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER. HE HAD NOT HEARD OF IT. I CONTACTED ME LATER AND AGREED IT WAS THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER. I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY 2 TIMES AND WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT PAST 2ND GEAR THE TWO TIMES BEFORE. THIS LAST TIME I WAS COMING OFF THE FREEWAY AND HAD TO COAST INTO THE NEAREST DRIVE. I WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD , I ROLLED THROUGH ONE FOUR WAY STOP WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. SO NOT TO GET STUCK IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. *TR
