It had lost more than 50 percent of its pressure. Good thing i was wearing sandals. Was able to lift the clutch with my toes and make it off the bridge. Once i got off, the clutch was not responsive what so ever. I pulled over…

On occasion, my car clutch sinks to the ground and loses all pressure. The car would be out of commission until the pressure comes back in about a 1/2 hr. Nissan has constantly said that they have never heard of such problems and always check my car when the problem is not there. This can be very hazardous in heavy traffic. *tr

My clutch in my 2005 altima se-r has sank to the floor causing me to pump the clutch while driving. I believe this is unsafe for any driver. This not only causes a wreck by not engaging in gear, it also put others in danger if my car goes out. *nm

It occurs during different times of day,…

The clutch will lose pressure leading to the inability to shift. Once this starts to happen, it will happen randomly until the car sits for several hours. This causes unsafe situations at intersections and on the highways during traffic. I have experienced this since i bought the car and experience the problem most often during hot days with lots of stop & go driving. Over time/mileage, the condition becomes more…
