Fear of an '09.... Real or Overblown?

z man · 01-29-2014, 11:09 AM

I have an 09 (purchased new) w/manual transmission. The engine was replaced at 33,000, due to excessive oil use(warranty covered the cost), steering wheel lock replaced (recalled issued) & Clutch Slave Cylinder/Clutch Master Cylinder replaced at 38,000 mi. On 4/13/13, Service Bulletin NTB13-026A was issued. My repair cost was $1,200.00. The same problem re-occurred at 45,000 miles-dealer stated they couldn't find anything wrong....yesterday Clutch Slave Cylinder is out again (est cost $1,200.00).

If you are considering the 370, check oil, with each fill up, buy an automatic trans, or be prepared to randomly spend $1,000 & up for Clutch Slave Cylinders/Master Cylinders on a routine bases, as this has been an issue since 05 & the 350z. Purchase extended warranty if buying.

Just my experiences....do not race my car, or drive erratic or aggressive. Current mileage is approx. 53,000 miles.
