Steering lock module failure. Same issue as in 2016 (NHTSA tracking number 10929922). Car would not start. In city park and waited 4 hours for tow truck. By myself - 74 year old female. Getting dark and dealership closed. Had the exact part malfunction in 2016 and had to have it towed. Cost $1000 to fix back then. Nissan has had issues with this but has refused to recall it except for one model. This repair cost me $1400. Not just the money or inconvenience - it's dangerous. There is no way to start this car - it has to be towed!

For years, there have been widespread defects in the electronic steering column lock (escl) that disabled the push-button ignition in a wide range of nissan and infiniti vehicles. the escl's primary job IS to keep the steering wheel locked until you bring your key fob in range of the vehicle. It's meant to prevent theft. however, when the escl malfunctions (even with the fob present and working) the escl won't detect it and, therefore, won't release the wheel. When you press the start/stop button to start the car, nothing happens. However, the "intelligent key warning light" symbol comes on, indicating you have a problem. nissan has been aware of this issue fo years and has issued a voluntary service campaign for various models. However, they have not done so for the 370Z, even though this model IS experiencing the exact problem as the models included in the voluntary service campaign. this malfunction has nothing to do with general "wear & tear". This malfunction IS due to a defective part and poor engineering. I am asking nhtsa to encourage nissan to conduct a voluntary or mandatory recall to address and correct this issue at no cost to vehicle owners.

When my car had 22,000 miles it wouldn't start because my steering wheel locked up. I was home when this happened. Had to tow it to nissan dealership. it just happened to me again at 55,000 miles. I was about to leave work. had to tow it back again. Not fair to pay 1,200!!

The car would not start. I was stranded and had to have it towed to the dealership. They had to replace the steering lock unit stating that it was "bad". The same thing IS noted on a recall issued for 2009 and 2010 nissan 370 z, but no recall for the 2011 even though t IS the same part.

I was left stranded in a parking lot after my security steering lock mechanism locked the car and would not allow it to turn on or even to acc mode. Since the car locked up, I have two lights on my dash that will not turn off. I was stranded for hours and could not get an available tow truck to pick my car up. After several hours, I was able to get a family member to drive a long ways to come get me. My car IS still in the parking lot and waiting to get a tow truck to pick it up! Only issue with the tow, my car won't even allow the shifter to move into neutral! The tow company said they can't promise the car can even be towed if they can't safely steer it onto the flat bad truck!

Steering lock failure from what I understand nissan recalled this part for model years 2009-2010 however I have a 2011 model and it has failed at just under 28K miles. I cant start my car, the steering lock acts as a security feature (anti theft) and it has failed on my car and numerous other vehicles. I simply parked my car and when I returned I was unable to start it. I had to have it towed to a nissan dealership which has quoted me 1060.00 to replace that part with what I'm afraid IS just going to fail again. How I'm not protected under the pervious recall or any other warranty IS beyond me. What can I do to protect myself. Why was I sold a car with a part they know IS bad. Prior to purchasing my vehicle I was under the impression I was buying a model year that did not suffer these symptoms (notably because I researched this issue prior). Please advise. thanks, dane

Had to go get emergency cough medication for spouse at 2:30am. after leaving walgreen, was unable to start my car. the key fob has enough battery power but the engine ignition stayed on "lock" and could not detect key fob. after trying to an hour to "google" and "youtube" and tried everything I could find to fix the issue but with no luck. had to contact spouse to pick me up at 3:00am. towed to a mechanic because after contacting 3 different nissan dealers and calling the nissan consumer affairs, learned that there was no recall on this case. however, been reading plenty of forum on the same thing for other nissan 370zs on this very same incident. the mechanic diagnosed the steering module was malfunctioning and replaced the unit after $1,431.46. + $28 towing fee. I was fortunate that I was in a safe neighborhood although it was in the middle of the night. but I feel that this steering lock malfunction IS too common to nissan dealers and their consumer affairs to not look in to. mileage on vehicle IS 33,387.

I parked my car over the weekend and then it would not start. the vehicle was stationary. nissan claims the latest revision of the part, 48700-jf00d, fixes the failure, but that exact part failed on my 2011 nissan 370Z. I had to pay out of pocket (my year model and vin were not included in the recall) to fix the problem.

While driving down the highway in 6TH gear for about 30 minutes to an hour, the clutch pedal begins feeling very soft and begins sticking to the floor to the point where it IS necessary to pull it back up with my foot. On texas highways, this IS extremely dangerous if I am unable to engage a gear while driving in heavy traffic, especially since a lot of highways are under construction with no shoulder to safely pull over to. The part at fault IS a poorly constructed concentric slave cylinder. This IS a piece of plastic that IS extremely prone to failure. It should have never been constructed from plastic. Nissan also refuses to obey their 5 year, 60,000 mile powertrain warranty to fix this issue. (The only clutch part listed as "not covered" IS the wearable clutch disc itself). They also refuse to acknowledge that this IS a common issue. I'm attaching a screenshot of over 100 370Z forum members who have reported this issue as well. This IS clearly a problem that needs addressed, but nissan refuses to acknowledge the safety of their loyal customers.

Takata recall. I first occurred a problem with the z on my wedding day. My clutch dropped to the floor and we couldn't get the car in gear. We were put in the middle of the mountains with no way to call a tow truck so we did our best to make it to the closest nissan dealer. On the way we came to a four way red light and couldn't shift to a low enough gear to get to car to slow down, a semi was traveling about 60 mph right at us, we swerved into the emergency on and the truck to barely missed us. After that my husband found out from a mechanic that he should bleed the clutch so he did and the clutch was normal again. Besides that the car has had only one other occurrence with the clutch. I am petrified to drive my car after that situation but I have no choice considering I spend most of my paycheck just to pay for the one thing that will probably send me to my grave. This IS a very serious problem and should be fixed! Now to mention this morning... I woke up to go to work and went to start my car when my car wouldn't start due to a steering lock malfunction and will probably end up having to take it to a dealership if my research doesn't work out as planned. The brake light comes on when I push the clutch... The traction control light comes on and stays on for long periods. This car IS going to hurt someone bad! Worried about the people drinking and driving? You should be worried about the people driving a nissan 370Z !!!! So frustrated!

While driving home from texas my clutch started to weaken and eventually stuck to the floor while I was traveling approximately 70 mph. Understanding that my car had a problem that was likely to leave me stranded, I continued to travel at 70 to 75 mph from jackson, mississippi to birmingham, alabama without stopping. When I arrived at the end of the off ramp, I could not get the car into 1ST gear so I could continue on home. After being stranded for about 30 minutes, I eventually got the car into first gear. I had to drive from the exit to my home in first gear. When I got to my house I had to use the starter to get my car into the garage. The trip from jackson to birmingham was exceptionally dangerous and there was many opportunities for a tragedy for example: (1) not being able to react properly in traffic, (2) not being able to react properly to construction zones, (3) not being able to react properly to city speed zones, et cetera. Given that this issue came on quickly, a dangerous situation presented itself in heavy fast moving traffic when I could not properly change gears when down-shifting. Due to my delayed response trying to get my car into gear, I was almost hit from behind which caused other nearby cars to have to react to the situation as well. Fortunately everyone around me at the time of final failure was paying attention. Taking a look at the history of this issue, it seems to have carried from the 350Z to the 370Z which starts in 2002 and continues year to date. Based on research in forums, this failure takes place at an average of 25,000 miles and continues to reoccur after replacement at the same interval. It IS a matter of time before this failure causes a death, but then again, if someone dies they will hardly be able to report the problem. Please look into this issue and consider both the 350Z and the 370z--which has inherited the issue.

When I entered my car to leave in the morning my clutch pedal had next to no pressure when depressed. The clutch would only disengage with approximately half an inch before reaching the floor. I immediately shut my car off and called the nissan service center. I was advised to bring my car in. After waiting for traffic to subside I nervously drove my car to the service center without incident. While driving, I noted that the pressure in my clutch pedal was getting worse. Had this started while driving I could have been severely injured, or worse. the nissan service center determined that the faulty part was the clutch concentric slave cylinder. This part IS somehow not covered in my vehicle's power train warranty, even through it IS an internal part of the transmission. I am fortunate that this did not happen while I was driving my car, as things could have been much worse. Nissan has been reluctant to even acknowledge that this has been an issue with this vehicle, even though there are many complaints about this failure, which IS easily discovered when doing investigation online.

I went to start my car and the clutch pedal was low. Once I went around the corner from my house, the pedal almost fell to the bottom. Since I could not put it in the next gear, I put it in neutral and pushed it back into my garage. My mechanic said it was the clutch slave cylinder. He also said there was a lot of break fluid in the transmission coming from the csc. I went on 370Z pages and this complaint IS all over the place. There are numerous forums to this issue. Luckily I was not driving on the freeway or I could have caused a major accident. If this issue has been happening for a long time to hundreds if not thousands of cars for this make and model, why has this not been fixed? Bill was around $1000.00. Haven't had any issues since replacing the csc but only have put about 4 thousand miles on it since.

I went out to start my car for a drive on 06/21/15. As I was reaching for the clutch pedal with my foot to start the engine, I found the clutch pedal had already sunk half way to the floorboard before my foot came in contact with it. I had to reach in further almost completely extending my leg in order to make contact with the pedal. Upon checking the clutch fluid I was surprised to find some of my fluid level was half empty had and looked very dark. There was black debris sitting under the fluid reservoir. My fluid level was at the max when I last checked it two weeks prior, so between that time some fluid had leaked out. I filled up with some brake fluid and pumped the pedal several times, which helped regains some pressure in my clutch pedal but not completely, there IS still some slack in the pedal travel. I immediately went online to research the problem. I ran across countless complaints from other z owners having the same issues with their factory clutch slave cylinder (csc) & master slave cylinder. Many reported their clutch pedal "diving" and would not return during driving. Unlike me, most of them were left stranded on the side of the roads due to not being able to operate the clutch after the pedal loss pressure and dives to the floor. Furthermore, people have reported their factory csc failures since the nissan 350Z were still in production (2002-2009). Nissan north america IS fully aware of this defects in their clutch assembly. In 2008, nissan issued a recall to 350Z owners to replace their defective csc. I am appalled that they (nissan) continued to rely on the same defective parts on their nissan 370Z. Currently, nissan has not address this problem on their 370Z model, nor are they honoring any warranty claims regarding this issue. This IS a real concern as it posses a serious safety threats to all z's equipped with manual transmission. updated 09/01/2015*lj

- Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant…
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.

- 10192840SERVICE INFORMATION Temporary tire Flat Spotting is common on New Dealer In-Stock vehicles that have not been occasionally moved. Flat Spotting can occur after the vehicle has been parked (not moved) for a few days, or longer. In most cases it is temporary. In extreme cases it can be permanent. Vehicles should be moved every 30 days, in one direction only, enough to rotate the tires 90 (see Figure 1). Moving vehicles as shown will prevent tire Flat Spotting. See this bulletin for further detail.
- 10192805IF YOU CONFIRM A refrigerant leak at a refrigerant pipe/hose joint location. ACTIONS 1. Inspect the metal surfaces of the pipe/hose joint for damage or contamination. NOTE: Do not replace a refrigerant pipe, hose, or other A/C component if an o-ring seal will solve the leak incident, if it should occur. 2.

- 10192750SERVICE INFORMATION Occasionally customers may notice water vapor or fog in the headlamps. The information, illustrations, and flow chart in this bulletin are provided to help you in determining if an incident for water/condensation in the headlamps is normal or not. Nissan?s new vehicle limited warranty does not cover physically damaged (cracked or broken) headlamps. All current headlamp assemblies are vented to the atmosphere (not sealed). - This is necessary to allow for expansion and contraction of air from temperature "variations" (warmer or colder) without damage to the headlamp. - Moisture in the air sometimes "travels" into and out of the headlamp assembly through these vents. - Certain environmental conditions may cause moisture to condense. - The fogging/cloudiness should disappear over time when the headlamp is in a dry environment. See this bulletin for further detail.
- 10192727SERVICE INFORMATION The purpose of this bulletin is to give Nissan dealers guidelines to help determine if windshield breakage is covered under warranty or is the customer?s responsibility. Nissan North America (NNA) is not responsible for damage to glass that is a result of objects striking or scratching the glass. However, NNA is responsible for manufacturing issues such as distorted glass and cracks that are due to improper installation or damage to the glass during vehicle assembly. NNA typically does not find any type of cracks in the windshield due to stress after the dealership PDI. See this bulletin for further detail.
