MY VEHICLE'S CLUTCH COMPLETELY LOST ITS HYDRAULIC CAPABILITY AND LEFT MY VEHICLE STRANDED IN ONGOING TRAFFIC. ME AND A FEW VOLUNTEERS WERE ABLE TO PUSH MY VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL MODE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, HOWEVER THIS COULD BE WARRANTED AS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN IF IT IS COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED THE NEXT DAY TO AN AUTO SHOP AND THEY DETERMINED THE CLUTCH AND SLAVE CYLINDER WERE BOTH FAULTY. THOUGH WEAR AND TEAR MAY BE COMMON FOR THIS PART, AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON ONLINE FORUMS THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH INFINITI G37'S. *TR
