On the 2021-2022 Nissan 370Z, 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.

On the 2021-2023 Nissan 370Z, a number of late-production 370Z owners report weak-battery and intermittent no-start complaints, especially on low-mileage cars that sit for extended periods. The problem is often not a major module failure but a marginal factory battery, storage-related sulfation, or parasitic draw from accessories/dashcams after the car sits. Symptoms can mimic starter or clutch-switch faults, but voltage testing usually reveals a weak battery state.

This issue also affects: Infiniti QX55, Infiniti QX60, Nissan Leaf

Common Symptoms

  • Slow crank or single click on startup
  • Intermittent no-start after sitting
  • Battery repeatedly needs jump-starts
  • Low voltage warnings or dim interior lights

How to Fix

Load-test the battery, check resting and cranking voltage, and verify charging-system output. If the battery fails testing or is original and aged, replace it with a quality AGM or OEM-spec unit and clean/tighten terminals. If discharge continues, perform a parasitic draw test after modules go to sleep and isolate any aftermarket accessory load.

What you need to diagnose it

The fix here starts with a test, not a part — which repair you need depends on what the test finds.

Testing and isolating the fault is DIY work. Replacing or reprogramming a control module is not — most are VIN-programmed, so a new one does nothing until a shop codes it to your car. Check for an open recall or service bulletin before buying anything.

On the 2021-2023 Nissan 370Z, owners continue to report water intrusion into the rear hatch area of the 370Z, often after rain or washing. Common leak paths include the hatch weatherstrip, body seam sealer, tail lamp area, and rear body vents, leading to damp cargo trim, condensation, mildew smell, or standing water in the spare-tire well/cargo floor. Because the platform carried over largely unchanged, this known body sealing issue remains relevant in the final production years.

This issue also affects: Nissan Murano

Common Symptoms

  • Wet carpet or cargo trim in hatch area
  • Water pooled in rear storage well
  • Musty odor after rain
  • Condensation inside rear glass or lamp area

How to Fix

Remove rear cargo trim and perform a controlled water test to identify the leak path around the hatch seal, tail lamp gaskets, body seams, and vent flaps. Replace flattened weatherstrips or lamp gaskets, reseal seams/vents with automotive seam sealer, and dry the interior thoroughly to prevent corrosion or mold. Check for corrosion at connectors if water has pooled for an extended period.

On the 2021-2023 Nissan 370Z, multiple 370Z owners report a pop, clunk, or spring-binding noise from the front suspension when turning the steering wheel at low speed or while parking. The issue is commonly traced to worn or binding upper strut mounts/bearings, sometimes accompanied by spring seat movement. On cars with wider tires and stiffer suspension tuning, the symptom is especially noticeable over driveway entries and during full-lock maneuvers.

Common Symptoms

  • Clicking or popping while turning at low speed
  • Clunk from front suspension over driveway lips
  • Noise increases near full steering lock
  • Steering feels notchy or springy

How to Fix

Road-test the car at low speed and listen for noise while turning lock-to-lock, then inspect front strut mounts, bearings, spring seats, and top nuts. Replace noisy upper mounts/bearings as a pair and verify spring indexing during reassembly. An alignment is recommended after front suspension work.

    Verify VIN/current supersession and buy quantity two only for a confirmed pair replacement.
