Sticky: (Official) 370Z Clutch Pressure (CSC) Failures

Damn sorry to hear about that, I would be livid and contemplating setting the car on fire after all that...

When mine went out, I was on my 2nd date with someone I liked and we both worked at the same company... Got just a mile away and as I was making a right turn in an intersection the pedal didn't fully return, there was maybe 2" of play in the pedal. Enough to get it to move after stalling several times. Got it to a parking lot and waited about an hour or so for a tow... My date was "too tired" to go on after getting the car picked up, so we had to call it a night... I never got to have a make up date

Thanks, but, I love my car. I'll have no qualms about buying the next one, hopefully a 390 with another 50 ponies. I just got my title from the bank on Monday LOL Sometimes life gives you lemons, and all car companies make a few bad parts. It's just the way it is. Maybe I can convince the regional specialist I deserve a little warranty relief and she'll get me some kind of discount on the labor.

My local dealer had the part, I went over and picked it up and just shipped it up to Hudson. I know, the HD will last much longer, but it has 55k of hard charging on it, I'll probably be trading it in on the next before my 12/12 warranty on the fix runs out.

I can't say the same for me... I've lost all respect for modern Nissan's. I work at Tesla and we have our share of issues, But regardless how many miles the cars have if something goes wrong with it. We wan't to know if it's a common problem and will make changes immediately after a solution is found and if a car built prior to the fix has the issue it will be repaired within 48 hours.

Maybe i'm expecting a much larger car manufacturer to fess up and put out a fix is too much, As opposed to the company I work for where reputation is everything.

I can't afford a Model S, But I may be able to afford the Model 3 when it comes out. Depending on range, style, power and handling it may be my next car... If not I'll gladly go back to Toyota. In my family we have 4 Toyota's that have been through hell and back and still manage to keep on going, I traded in a Tacoma X-Runner (we had 5 at one point) that gave me 120K miles without a single issue, It never saw a tow truck... Only things it really needed were oil changes, brake pads and rotors, air filters, spark plugs at 90K miles and a few sets of tires... original everything else.

I think if I had the pink slip to my car, It would be back on a dealer lot right now... The 370Z is a sexy car, I love the power and handling but I can't drive it without wondering when something will break and how much will I sink in to it in 5 years when it's finally paid off

Reputation is everything with Elon. You have to keep the stock price at 190,000 times forward earnings and every little blip [battery fire, etc] one car has the stock dives 5% in a day. Tesla is also still a young company that has no laurels to sit their fat executive board asses on. It's apples to pears.

I have no doubt that any forum of any of the majors there are hundreds of threads exactly like this one, all well deserved complaints, but we'll never live in a perfect world and the world will never give us perfect cars. So in the meantime I'll just buy the one that gives me goose bumps at what I'd consider a very affordable price point. Unfortunately I love the nurse shark grill on my 10' way more than the new look, but I do like the new Nismo more than any of the previous ones. It's far more mature and less "street tuner" looking, so that might be my next Z, in Silver ;o}

I dont know if its a record but 1200 miles.... clutch pedal had no pressure to the engage point within 2 mile the clutch would no longer engage and is pinned to the floor, no fluid either. All just **** the bed in a 6 mile trip. Dropped it off at the dealer because its sunday
