Nissan 370Z · 2021–2022
Owners of late-model 370Zs continue to report failure of the small rubber/plastic stopper pad on the clutch pedal bracket. When it breaks or falls out, the clutch interlock switch may not be depressed, causing a no-crank condition on manual cars; in some cases cruise-control or clutch-switch logic also behaves incorrectly. This is a long-running Z-platform issue and is still documented by owners in the 2021-2022 run.
Common Symptoms
- No-crank with key/start button despite battery being good
- Vehicle starts only after manipulating clutch pedal
- Cruise control inoperative or cancels unexpectedly
- Loose debris from broken pedal stopper found on floor mat
How to Fix
Inspect the clutch pedal arm for the missing stopper where it contacts the clutch switch. If the pad is missing, replace it with the updated stopper or an aftermarket equivalent and verify clutch switch adjustment. If the switch itself was damaged or misadjusted after the pad failed, adjust or replace the switch and confirm normal start authorization.
