NISSAN IS RECALLING 204,361 MY 2007-2008 ALTIMA, ALTIMA HYBRID, 350Z, 350Z ROADSTER, MY 2008 ALTIMA COUPE, ROGUE, MY 2009 MURANO, AND INFINITI MY 2007-2008 G35 SEDAN, MY 2008 G37 COUPE AND EX35 PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS' OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) CONTROL UNITS. A VARISTOR IN THE OCS CONTROL UNIT LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THIS COULD CAUSE AN INTERRUPTION OF SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (ACU).
THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING SUPPRESSED WHICH COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL TEST THE SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND ACU SYSTEMS USING A SPECIAL TOOL TO CHECK THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. IF NECESSARY, THE SEAT CUSHION (CONTAINING OCS HARDWARE) WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE MANUFACTURED TO SPECIFICATION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 4, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 OR INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) REPLACED DURING SERVICE AT A DEALERSHIP, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) MAY HAVE BEEN INADVERTENTLY DEACTIVATED DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE DEALER SERVICE SOFTWARE. IF THE TPMS IS TURNED OFF, IT WOULD NOT ALERT THE DRIVER TO A DECREASE IN THE TIRE PRESSURE AS DESIGNED.
DRIVING ON UNDER-INFLATED TIRES IS UNSAFE AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL CHECK THE TPMS FUNCTION AND REACTIVATE IT IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 18, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WITH AN (NISSAN CERTIFIED) EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES IN 2010. I HAVE HAD THE AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACED (UNDER WARRANTY---CVT REPLACED WITH NEW TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY) ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS BETWEEN 2011 AND 2013. IN EARLY 2013, ROSS NISSAN CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND DID NOT REPLACE IT, ONE MONTH LATER I TOOK IT TOO VALLEY HI NISSAN IN VICTORVILLE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY ROSS. THE PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS: THE CAR WHEN DRIVEN OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME IN TRAFFIC (1 HOUR OR MORE), THE TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO WHINE,ESPECIALLY WHEN CLIMBING UP HILLS. ON OVER FIVE OCCASIONS THE CAR SPEED TOPPED OUT AT ABOUT 45-55 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND COULD NOT GO FASTER ON STEEP INCLINES. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SLOW LANE AS IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST THE 45-55 MPH UNTIL THE INCLINE IN THE FREEWAY LEVELED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, THE NISSAN DEALER WOULD EVALUATE IT AND STATE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY. THE TRANSMISSION WERE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY AROUND 45K, 77K, 109K, IN DOING THE RESEARCH THE FOLLOWING BULLETINS SEEM TO MATCH THE PROBLEM THAT I'VE BEEN HAVING NTB-13-079 AND NTB-12-057 AND THE ONE MENTIONED BY THE DEALER WHICH I COULDN'T FIND ON THIS WEBSITE TSB-NTB10-143A. THEY ALL SEEM TO INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH THE FAIL SAFE FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION FLUID PROTECTOR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE THIS ISSUE AS IT HAS HAPPENED ON SO MANY CARS. ALTHOUGH MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER SOLVED CORRECTLY. I DON'T TAKE THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY, BECAUSE I AM IN FEAR THAT I WILL BE RAMMED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AS THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON OCCASIONS WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING TOO HOT. THE CAR/TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

I WAS REPLACING (MYSELF) THE BROKEN LEFT REAR SPRING AND NOTICED THAT SWAY BAR IS HANGING UNDER THE CAR. IT WAS SNAPPED OFF ON THE RIGHT SIDE NEXT TO THE BUSHING. THE SNAPPING SURFACE WAS ALREADY RUSTY, WHICH TOLD ME THAT IT WAS BROKEN ALREADY SOME TIME AGO. I WAS VERY SURPRISED TO FIND THAT MY SWAY BAR IS NOT ACTUALLY A BAR, BUT A HOLLOW PIPE!!! ADDITIONALLY, MY LEFT REAR SPRING WAS BROKEN VERY STRANGE - ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF A TURN WAS SNAPPED FROM THE TOP... INTERESTING THAT I DID VISIT NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR TIRE PROPATION - THEY DID NOT FIND NEITHER BROKEN SPRING, NOR SNAPPED SWAY BAR!.. INSTEAD, THEY "STRONGLY RECOMMENDED" THE WHOLE BUNCH OF QUESTIONABLE (AND EXPENSIVE) REPAIRS FOR THE UPCOMING INSPECTION... I HAVE FOUND IN THE INTERNET, THAT BROKEN SWAY BAR IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE (BAD DESIGN - USE OF HOLLOW PIPE INSTEAD OF BAR). ACTUALLY, PEOPLE SUGGEST THAT IT MAY BE THE RIGHT TIME FOR THE RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK I NOTICED SUDDENLY THE CAR WON'T TAKE DRIVE AND JUST KEEP IDLING HIGH WHEN I PRESS GAS. I STOPPED AND CALL A FRIEND TO PICK ME UP. I CALL THE MECHANIC AND HE SEND A TOW TRUCK TO PICK ME UP. LATER HE TOLD ME THE CAR TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. *JS

SWAY BAR BROKE AFTER NO PARTICULAR INCIDENT. THE MECHANIC, A FRIEND WHO I TRUST GREATLY AND HAVE KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME, SAID IT SEEMED ODD THAT THIS PIECE WOULD BREAK FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE PIECE WAS NOT RUSTED OR CORRODED IN ANY ABNORMAL MANNER. *TR

ON JANUARY 10, 2014, I WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THERE MAY BE AN OIL PAN LEAK BY THE LUBE CENTER IN FREDERICK MD. I DIDN'T REALLY THINK MUCH OF IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. MY CAR NOW IS MAKING A CHAINING LIKE NOISE WHEN DRIVING AND I WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE ON 6/20/14 AT SUNOCO IN FREDERICK , MD THEY SAY IT IS A MASSIVE OIL LEAK AND THAT MY CAR WILL CATCH FIRE AT THE ENGINE IF IT IS NOT FIXED, THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THE OIL LEAK AND IT WAS NOT FROM THE OIL PAN BUT IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED RIGHT AWAY. I AM AFRAID THAT THE CAR WILL EXPLODE, I HAVE CHILDREN AND I HAVE ONE ON THE WAY. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AT ONE POINT BUT IT IS CLOSED AND MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH THIS NOW WITH THERE VEHICLE. I STILL HAVE TO PAY 7,000 ON THIS VEHICLE BEFORE IT IS PAID OFF. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE RECALL IS NO LONGER OPEN. *TR

HAD TO REPLACE REAR STABILIZER BAR AT DEALER TODAY. PART LOOKED DEFECTIVE. IT WAS HOLLOW, RUSTED AND CORRODED. IT JUST SNAPPED ON ITS OWN. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS POSTINGS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PART ON THIS MAKE MODEL AND YEAR, WHERE THE OWNER HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT. I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THIS PART. *TR

MY NISSIAN ALTIMA, THE DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO CRACK AND MELT. THE LOCAL NEWS CHANNEL IN MY AREA DID INVESTIGATION ON THIS PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THEY ADVISE TO FILE A COMPLAINT, AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ONLY SOLUTION IS TO HAVE THE WHOLE DASHBOARD REPLACED. *JS

I ATTEMPTED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MY CAR BEGAN STALLING AND I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE ROAD AS ONCOMING TRAFFIC.HAD I BEEN ON A BRIDGE OR BEEN FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY ANOTHER CAR IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I PLACED IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT STARTED.I CALLED PETRO NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT SOUNDED AS IF THE CAM OR DRIVE SENSOR WAS GOING OUT. I DROVE CAUTIOUSLY TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALER(MOSSEY) IN HOUSTON. THEY DID DIAGNOSTICS ON IT BUT COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BRIDGE IN BATON ROUGE I APPROACHED AT 70MPH BUT ON THE BRIDGE I COULD NOT GET THE ACCELERATOR TO RESPOND TO KEEP ME ABOVE 50 MPH. I FELT I WOULD HAVE STALLED HAD THE BRIDGE BEEN ANY STEEPER OR LONGER. IT WAS VERY SCARY BUT I MANAGED TO MAKE IT OVER AND EXPERIENCED NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. I TOOK IT TO PETRO THE NEXT MORNING ON THURSDAY AND IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR RE PRODUCE THE SYMPTOMS. TODAY, THEY ARE CONSULTING NISSAN FACTORY ENGINEER. *JS
Air bags, Apr 1, 2014
REGARDING THE CURRENT (2013-2014) NISSAN RECALL DUE TO AIRBAG DEFECT: WE TRADED IN OUR 2007 ALTIMA FOR A 2014 MODEL. THE 2007 MODEL APPEARED TO HAVE THE SAME AIRBAG DEFECT BEING DESCRIBED IN THE CURRENT RECALL. DURING OUR OWNERSHIP OF THE 2007 MODEL, THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED ABOUT 80% OF THE TIME--IT WOULD MISTAKENLY INDICATE THAT NO ONE WAS IN THE SEAT WHETHER THE ADULT SITTING THERE WAS SMALL OR HEAVY. THIS OCCURRED WITH AN ADULT SITTING IN A NORMAL, UPRIGHT, CENTERED POSITION. THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING WITH OUR NEW CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE REAR SWAY BAR ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE SNAPPED. IT APPEARS TO BE HOLLOW WHICH IS NOT THE CORRECT DESIGN FOR SUCH A PART. THIS SHOULD BE A SOLID PIECE DUE TO ITS LOCATION ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE CAR. I BELIEVE NISSAN USED A CHEAPER HOLLOW/INAPPROPRIATE BAR TO SAVE MONEY WHILE IGNORING THE CUSTOMER'S SAFETY.

GOT HOME AND SAW A METAL BAR HANGING DOWN FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION. LOOKED AT IT, AND IT'S A HOLLOW BAR. DID RESEARCH ON INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT BROKEN HOLLOW REAR SWAY BARS ON THE 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. I DRIVE LESS THAN 25 MILES A WEEK TYPICALLY, SHORT TRIPS AROUND TOWN, NO ROUGH DRIVING OR RACING. *TR

DRIVING ON I75S TRANSMISSION FAILED HAD CAR TOWED TO NEAREST NISSAN DEALER. IN 2013 DRIVING IN FLORIDA ON I10W AT TALLAHASSEE EXIT TRANSMISSION FAILED AND HAD CAR TOWED TO NEAREST NISSAN DEALER. THERE WAS 147,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. PAID $4,200.00 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. NISSSAN REIMBURSED ME $2,403.00. OUTCOME I WORRY ABOUT WHEN WILL THIS TRANSMISSION GO. *TR

I NOTICED SOMETHING HANGING DOWN FROM BENEATH MY CAR WHILE APPROACHING THE VEHICLE YESTERDAY. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR AXLE SUSPENSION BAR IS CRACKED. ONE NISSAN EMPLOYEE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID HE HAD "NEVER HEARD OF" THIS HAPPENING WITHOUT A ROOT CAUSE (ACCIDENT, ETC.). THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, HAS NOT HIT ANY POT HOLES, ETC. MOST LIKELY THE ISSUE IS DUE TO SOME TYPE OF MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT WOULD ALLOW THE BAR TO EITHER CORRODE OR BREAK SPONTANEOUSLY. I DID SOME RESEARCH TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN LODGED ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. I AM WONDERING WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET. THE BACK SUSPENSION OF THE CAR IS COMPROMISED AND THE ISSUE COULD HAVE LED TO SOMETHING MUCH MORE SERIOUS IN TERMS OF SAFETY. I WILL NOT HAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR UNTIL MORNING, BUT I AM QUITE SURE I NEED TO PURSUE THIS ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURER. IF THERE ARE THAT MANY OF US HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND REPORTING IT, THERE MUST BE QUITE A FEW MORE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HAVE NOT GONE TO THE TROUBLE OF REPORTING BUT HAVE EATEN THIS EXPENSE/REPAIR AS WELL. *TR

HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CAR GOING TOTALLY DEAD, NO LIGHTS ENGINE WON'T START ETC. HAD BATTERY REPLACED BUT THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM.CAR STILL DIED A COUPLE MORE TIMES UNTIL IT FINALLY WOULD NOT START OR FUNCTION IN ANY WAY...NO LIGHTS (NOT HAZARD,BRAKE,ETC.) WOULD FUNCTION,ENGINE WOULD NOT START, NOTHING... CAR IS DEAD.TOWED TO DEALER FIRST TOLD IT WAS THE BODY MODULE COMPONENT? ONE OF THE BRAINS IN THE CAR. THEN INFORMED THAT THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. TOLD TODAY IT IS THE WIRING HARNESS AND WILL COST $3,500.00+ THIS IN MY OPINION IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY AS WE COMMUTE IN THIS CAR. IT COULD HAVE DIED/STALLED ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO WARNING AND NO ABILITY TO USE HAZARD LIGHTS,ETC.WOULD NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO MOVE CAR WITH DEAD ENGINE IF WE WERE CAPABLE OF DOING SO,MEANING IF WE DID NOT SUFFER AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE NOTED AND PEOPLE INFORMED OF THIS DANGER! WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO TAKE THE CAR BACK!! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FAILURE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. LIFE THREATENING AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED. *TR
