A couple of SE-R owners down her in Florida have complained that the clutch pedal will sometimes stay on the floor. It does not stick but it is just when you touch it, it sinks to the floor. You can still engage the clutch fro a while that that gets difficult. One guy down her got a dealership to replace it with an upgrade.

Is this a common problem with the SE-R , if so this may be more of a recall item and a concern. ?

Same thing happened to me. I have a 2005 V6 Altima.

It came back and I added fluid. Do you know what causes the problem? Should I be concerned of it happening again?

Thanks

Hey I am a lil late, but I was told by a tech at my Dealership of choice that its a "slave cylinder" problem that cant really be overcome. If it happens, or when it happenes, I am betting that you are in traffic, just pull over and turn off the car for a few minutes. Dont mess with the clutch at all... then turn it on and the pressure should be back to normal. Adding more fluid wont really do a thing. Just gotta live with it.

Yes it can be overcome. Make them replace it like I did. It should be covered under warrenty. If they give you the line about having to duplicate the problem in order to fix it, tell them that 25 Altima SER's have reported the problem and they should have that in their knowledge bank. Or you can do what I did, call them everytime it happened and make them listen to me jamming it into gear as I drive. You'll have to put on your fight gloves, but they should replace it if it happens. It's a safety hazzard.

Also they should replace the master and slave. So far it's working. Let me know if you need any more support. I battled the dealer for a week an half on this.

Own a 2005 Ser clutch sinking to floor. Dealer unable to duplicate from 100 miles-22,000.
Tried to pusue Lemon law, Nissan disagrees no problem.
At 22,000 finally sticks to floor. Dealer replaces clutch pedal assembly, 24,000 stuck again, dealer replaces clutch, throw out and pressure plate, 28,000 sticks to floor again,in gear, dealer replaces slave cylinder, 32,000 sticks again, dealer relaces clutch master cylinder finally at 38,000 problem supposedly resolved. 58,000 down shifting from 5th to 4th exiting highway and clutch explodes and pedal onces again stuck to floor. Nissan wants to charge 1500 to fix, extended warranty will not cover replacement.
Currently waiting on Nissan to determine what action if any they are going to take.
I am ready to turn the car into a rolling Lemon billboard if Nissan does not make it right.
anyone no of a active class action suit addressing this issue, please advise.
Thanks in Texas
