My 2007 3.5SE 6MT did this twice in the 40,000 miles I owned it and never again - both times were when I was drag racing and slipped the clutch at a very high rpm. I have seen posts from Maxima and Altima owners that had this happen on a daily basis and the dealership ABSOLUTELY GAVE THEM HELL over diagnosing and fixing something that is VERY clearly a design flaw on the part of the manufacturer. You gotta think....of all the Altima and Maxima owners, what percentage of those people actually subscribe to a forum and post these problems? There's lots of people with this problem and the vehicles affected (that I've seen) are the 2002-current Altima, 2000-current Maxima, all years of the 350 and 370Z and the G counterparts.

It's a big problem and is very widespread and there are times that accelerating is necessary to avoid a collision - so safety concern....absolutely I say.

Trav - Thank you! It's nice that someone else sees that this is a massive problem and needs to remedied by the manufacturer rather than JUST complaining about it on a forum. All those things I posted to do, I did. I even wrote the CEO of Nissan/Inifniti and complained to the BBB. Enough complaints directed to the write people will get something done about this safety problem. And it honestly is a matter of a little time and small amount of effort. I basically copied and pasted my letter to everyone that needed to know, changed the "to" address and paid some postage. CEO got a certified letter. Anywho... hopefully people will listen and do the same so maybe, just maybe, they will be forced to recall this. As for the accelarating, you can't do that until you have diverted your attention from driving to getting the clutch pedal to pop back up. Until its up, gas does nothing but rev, rev, rev. This is where the danger lies. I hope they do something before someone gets hurt or dies. Seriously.

Stuck clutch pedal solution: Bleed clutch fluid with Motul RBF 600 and replace stock clutch line with a SS clutch line. Voila~ problem fixed.

Unfortunately that doesn't fix the problem if you have a defective CSC, but it is a good upgrade anyway.
