TL* the contact owns a 2007 nissan 350Z. The contact stated that while driving, the air bag warning light flashed on the instrument panel. The contact researched the issue and saw complaints about the occupancy sensor on the passenger seat. The contact emailed the manufacturer and was informed that the vehicle was not under recall.

Airbag warning light IS intermittently on and off all the time while the vehicle IS running. this happens whether the vehicle has stopped for a traffic light or in motion.
When driving and prior to changing lanes or making a turn the seatbelt has a very bad habit of locking and not allowing the driver to see the side mirrors or full view out windows to ensure a safe parameter or path and has caused several near-miss situations. this happens when sitting still and backing out of a parking space or going down the highway at any speed,
Airbag warning light remains on and blinks immediately after the passenger airbag sensor light turns off. the airbag warning light continually blinks while the vehicle IS running or the ignition IS in the on position.
My 24 year old daughter had just came off the on ramp and began merging onto highway 99 northbound when she heard a loud bang and felt her car drop as if she had a flat tire, as she began pulling off the freeway making her way to the shoulder she saw her tire pass her up and continue down the freeway where it continued alone for about 100 yards and by sheer luck ended up along the guard railing and did not cause any accidents or injuries as many have reported happened to them. Her passenger side rear wheel broke off leaving the center of the wheel and 5 lug nuts remaining, the entire center of the wheel remained on the car, all 5 wheel spokes were broken off due to cracking, I inspected her remaining wheels and found them all ready to fail evidencing cracks on most wheel spokes
My airbag light IS flashing on my dash. I did some research and found out that there IS a recall on the 2007-2008 350Z for the airbag sensor - passenger. I called the nissan dealership and was informed that there's no recalls on my specific vehicle and I was informed to contact you'll to get added to the recall database, so I can get my car repaired,
My air bag expolded - I have no air bag now. Went out to my car after working that day
The electric cooling fan has now failed 2 times. the first time happened six weeks after the expiration of the recall which the dealer did not honor. the replacement failed one year and one month after installation.
The passenger airbag light comes on due to a faulty sensor in the seat. this IS a known problem yet my vin number IS not identified in the nissan recall data base.

Clutch slave cylinder and transmission noising and howling noise. transmission failed while driving almost causing an accident and then failed on traffic freeway
While driving at higher freeway speed, the cvt automatic transmission remains in high speed, it does not shift into a lower speed when I am trying to slow down the vehicle. There IS leakage and burnt smell coming from under the hood. It was tested in two locations and the vehicle has a faulty transmission. Nissan does not offer rebuilt transmissions and used transmissions are just as risky to install. New transmissions are more costly than what the car IS worth. *tr

I financed my vehicle in march 2015 this year and in 4 months I've had so many problems I hate my car now but I'm stuck with the cost. The check engine light never went off, I never had a test drive, car cuts off on me on the highway, had to get a battery change, had to get a oil change, breaks are squeeking, and I just got towed from pa back to ny cause now the dealer says my motor blew out???? I don't drive far cause my job not far and when I decided to go visit family I got stuck on pa highway with my kids!!! I was sold a lemon! Cost me more money out my pocket for a hotel room and bus ticket to get back home now want $1400 to fix the car engine that I can't afford!!!.... This has to be hell I'm in!!!!!
TL* the contact owns a 2007 nissan 350Z. While driving at approximately 10 mph and making a left turn, the clutch failed. The driver was unable to shift from first to second gear causing the vehicle to stall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the clutch slave cylinder assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 45,000.
For the past couple days, while driving, the clutch when pushed in sticks to the floor for a couple seconds before popping back up. The other day, I was in the middle of an intersection, unable to accelerate due to the clutch being stuck. I took it into nissan and they have to replace the master slave cylinder as well as the master hydraulic cylinder, costing me a total of $1039. At 26,xxx, there IS no excuse for this happening. I have heard countless occasions of this same problem and demand a recall or a refund from nissan. *tr
The car IS not safe to drive due to the clutch being faulty. It loses pressure every now and then, and I have to pick up the clutch with my foot manually off the floor. This IS very dangerous and should be recalled on all 2007 and 2008 350z's. Nissan changed the clutch slave cylinder and master clutch cylinders from 2007 to 2008, hence only these model years have this problem. people have complained numerous times and they did recall a clutch slave cylinder but even after they did that, it has the same problem. If you replace a part with the same defective part it will break down again and again... I've calculated how much it would cost to get a new clutch and replace all the defective parts with stronger parts that people have used and reviewed over a long period of time. It will cost me about $2000 just to get the clutch parts and installation. This IS ridiculous for something that has such an important job in a car. If the clutch pedal loses pressure or goes down and doesn't come back up, you can get in a serious accident or even worse, death. Please help us 350Z owners and ensure that the manufacturer provides safety in these vehicles.. *tr
My passenger side air bag warning light appeared on my dash and I went to new city nissan to have it repaired. this specific problem was the subject of a massive recall that began on november 4, 2008 that included the nissan 350z's made in 2007-2008 under the nhtsa campaign ID number: 08v521000. the dealership offered to replace the seat assembly for $2630 plus tax. I instead called nissan north america with my problem, case number 14605979 that was handled by paul smith. I was told that my automobile was not part of the recall and that any cost to repair this problem would be out of my pocket. I did not purchase the car until sep. 2009 and was not made aware of any recall by the dealership at the time of purchase. at the present, my car cannot pass a safety inspection and the outrageous cost of repair for a problem already identified by the auto maker IS prohibitive on my retirement income. this IS a safety issue that will not go away. *tr
On 07/02/14 I was driving home from work when I approached a red light near my residence pushed the clutch in and the pedal went to the floor and clutch did not engage almost causing a collision. I was able to slowly drive home to try and figure out what the problem could be. I checked the fluid in the clutch cylinder and it was nearly empty. I filled it up with dot 3 brake fluid and the clutch started to work some but then the fluid leaked out again.the next morning I got into the car to go to work and the clutch went to the floor again. I drove the car to the local nissan dealer and explained the problem. On 7/3/14 I called nissan corporation and explained that according to the internet their had been a re-call on the slave cylinder(which causes this problem to occur) and I would like to have my car repaired at their expense. I left my car at sheehey nissan in waldorf md with service advisor [xxx] (301-843-5300) who stated they would have to look the car over to determine if the malfunctioning part IS the slave cylinder. On 7/3/14 I spoke with [xxx] at 1-800-647-7261 ext 457390 claim# [xxx] (nissan corp) she advised that they would have to confirm the issue through the dealership and then the information would be forwarded up to the regional dist. Office to determine if nissan would repair my vehicle.two days later I was contacted by [xxx] (1-800-343-6913 ext [xxx]) from the regional office and she explained that due to the car's age and being out of warranty they would not repair my vehicle. Please review and assist me with a problem that could cause someone to lose their life. Nissan should have to honor the re-call notwithstanding it being outside of the warranty. A recall IS a recall acknowledging that the part IS faulty and should be corrected at their expense. Please assist. Thank you.

NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened these reviews into vehicles including this one.
All of the wheel separation incidents identified in ea07-005 have involved wheels subjected to aftermarket chroming in california.metallurgical analysis of aftermarket chromed wheels obtained from incident vehicles showed significant changes in material properties that can increase the chance of structural failure.nissan has issued several communications to dealers, both before and after odi's investigation began with pe06-050, warning against the practice of chroming wheels.nissan has advised odi that it will be sending another communication this year that repeats the warnings against aftermarket chroming. No defect has been identified in the original equipment nissan wheels.there have been no wheel separation incidents involving those wheels and they passed the sae radial fatigue, cornering and side impact tests conducted by vrtc.while there have been a few complaints, warranty claims and survey responses indicating cracks in original equipment wheels, they are few in number, often exhibit evidence of impact damage and may sometimes involve cracks in different locations of the wheel.at this time, in view of the limited incidence of the cracks and the fact that the cracks do not appear to have progressed, further use of agency resources on this investigation does not appear to be warranted.the agency will continue to monitor complaints and other information pertaining to the wheels on the subject vehicles and will take further action if warranted.see document file for more information about this closing resume.
