Air bags, sensor, occupant classificationApr 26, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, Infiniti customer service at 1-888-833-3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

Air bags, sensor, occupant classificationApr 26, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Sentra vehicles manufactured June 4, 2012, to April 9, 2016. The front passenger seat belt bracket may become deformed if it is used to secure a Child Restraint System (CRS). The deformed seat bracket may cause the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to incorrectly classify the installed CRS, resulting in the front passenger air bag to not be turned off as designed when a CRS is in the seat.
If the frontal passenger air bag deploys in the event of a crash when a child seat is installed in the front passenger seat, there will be an increased risk of injury to the child in the CRS.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will reinforce the seat belt bracket as well as reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU), free of charge. The recall began on June 13, 2016. Owners are warned not to install a CRS in the front seat. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Altima and Pathfinder vehicles, 2013-2014 Nissan Sentra vehicles, 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles, 2014-2015 Infiniti QX60 vehicles and 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid vehicles. The affected vehicles received an incorrect occupant classification system (OCS) control unit during a repair. These OCS control units may incorrectly classify the front passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult.
If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will update the OCS software, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

Air bagsMar 1, 2013
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2013 Altima, LEAF, Pathfinder, Sentra, and Infiniti JX35 vehicles. Sensors within the passenger Occupant Detection System (ODS) may have been manufactured out of specification. This may cause the system to malfunction and permanently suppress the passenger airbag.
If the vehicle is involved in a crash necessitating airbag deployment and the passenger airbag is suppressed, there may be an increased risk of personal injury.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the ODS sensors and replace them as neccessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 6, 2013. Owners may contact Nissan Customer Service at 1-800-647-7261.

Fuel system, gasoline, storage, tank assemblyMar 1, 2013
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2013 Sentra vehicles manufactured from September 11, 2012, through October 4, 2012. Some fuel tank assemblies were not properly sealed during the manufacturing process. As a result, a small amount of gasoline may leak from the tank when it is full.
A gasoline leak in the presence of an ignition source may lead to a vehicle fire.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel tanks as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 1, 2013. Owners may contact Nissan Customer Service at 1-800-647-7261.

Air bags, Service brakes, Oct 11, 2017, crash
BRAKES FAILED TO FUNCTION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP WHILE GOING 35 MPH ON A DRY, STRAIGHT ROADWAY. THE PEDAL HAD SOME TENSION BEHIND IT BUT DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT, KIND OF SPONGY AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. SEVERAL PUMPS OF THE BREAK DID NOT RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT BRAKING SO I SPUN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO TRY TO AVOID THE CAR THAT WAS STOPPING, BUT COULD NOT CLEAR IT AND MY CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED AND I AM IN PAIN. AIRBAGS ALSO FAILED TO DEPLOY, AND I'D HAVE THOUGHT A 35 MPH CRASH SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT TO TRIGGER THE INERTIA SENSOR.

Air bags, Jul 3, 2017
THE OCS DOES NOT DETECT AN ADULT OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS DEACTIVATED. FAILURE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TO DEPLOY DURING A CRASH (WHERE DEPLOYMENT IS WARRANTED) COULD INCREASE THE RISK INJURY OR DEATH TO THE PASSENGER. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ESCALATED TO THE ELK GROVE NISSAN REPAIR CENTER MULTIPLE TIMES. ELK GROVE INFORMED ME THEY RESET THE PROGRAMMING OF THE SENSOR AND UNINSTALLED AND INSTALLED THE SEAT TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO OCCUR ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED ON A NON LEVEL SURFACE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.

WESTON NISSAN VOLVO / TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN IN DECEMBER 2013, I BOUGHT A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA, FROM YOUR DEALER SERVICES WESTON NISSAN. SO FAR, I RECEIVED FOREVER THE SERVICES FROM YOUR SPECIALIZED DEPARTMENT, MAINTENANCE REQUIRED BY YOUR PEOPLE IN THE SAME PLACE WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. A FEW DAYS AGO, THE VEHICLE PRESENTED A FAULT ACCORDING TO REPORTS BY THE MECHANIC OF WESTON NISSAN; CORRESPONDS TO A FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION. THAT PERSON NOTIFIED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION (POWERTRAIN) IS DAMAGED AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $ 4000. THIS TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGES BECAUSE PROPER MAINTENANCE WAS NOT PERFORMED, AS REPORTED BY THE MECHANIC. NOW, AS CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE? , IF THE CAR CONSTANTLY CARRY TO SERVICE ACCORDING TO THE WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS UPON MILES. AND IN THE SERVICE RECORD, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS NO SERVICE FOR THIS PART. NISSAN SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR TRANSMISSION PRODUCT, REPUTATION AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR ALL CONSUMERS WHO EXPERIENCE A TRAUMATIC AND COSTLY SITUATION DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY AND FAILED TRANSMISSION. NISSAN DECLINE TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. ALSO, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE IN THAT SHORT TIME THE CAR SUFFERED AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEMS, REPLACEMENT GAS PUMP, AIR BAG PROBLEMS (MANY TIMES) AND MORE RECENTLY SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IN MY CAR'S SERVICE RECORD, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF CHANGING AIR FILTERS AND OTHER IMPORTANT CAR'S PARTS, WHICH GIVES SERIOUS DOUBTS ABOUT YOUR SERVICE'S QUALITY. PERSONALLY, REPLACE THE AIR FILTER WAS NEVER CHANGED. I THINK THERE IS NO REASON, IF THERE IS BEEN A PROPERLY SERVICE, TO HAVE ALL THIS ISSUES WITH MY CAR. BEST REGARDS, NHTSA RECALL 14V-138
