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.

Air bags, frontalOct 20, 2015
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.

I called my home Nissan yesterday to get the information about my recalls on my car that I was not aware of after the State Troopers helped me get my cat to a safe location. I was told that there are recalls on the car (and was never notified) I called where it was originally bought from a Nissan Dealership and they gave me several recall codes as I was stranded in the freezing cold with my babies in the car. There are several recalls on my car (P1-1,P1-2, and P1-5,2, P1-8.) The car went from 1RPM and shot up to 8, and down to 0 and the car would not drive after that unless it was less than 15MPH. Anything over 15-20 the car would go from 1RPM back to 8, and shoot down to 0 and jerk the car forward and backwards. I was told it was only an 02 reprogramming recall from the location it was towed to, to a different Nissan dealership. However, I was given several codes of recall from the Nissan Dealership that I purchased it from.

When I would hit my breaks and sit at a red light . My car would start vibrating really bad and then force it’s self up even though my foot would be on the break and almost his someone walking and a few other times in a car . It also would shut its self off and back on . When I put it in park it would die and when I put it back in drive it would die . Sometimes turn its self back on & I have a push to start .

The left headlight went our or so I thought until I tried to change it then it worked until I put the cover back on. Also the car beeps a warning but I never know what the warning is for. The mass airflow system sensor has been replaced 5 times as of today since 5-2021. It stalled and died leaving me scared as I tried to enter the road luckily o wasn't injured.inhave no info as far as mileage, fuel usage etc..

It was 108 degree outside at 4:30 pm in the zip code of 89052. At a sloped intersection on a major street I stopped for the light. When the light turned green I tried to accelerate the car, it failed to accelerate, the break did not function, and the steering was difficult. The car stalled. The car started rolling downhill. I was able to turn the car to the next street ~20 yards down the intersection. The street had no slope and no other cars at the time. The car eventually stopped. But that was a dangerous incident and it could be much worse.

Electrical system, Oct 10, 2019
CAR WOULDNT START BUT PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON. JUMPED STARTED CAR AND IT WORKED FINE FOR A WHILE THEN SAME ISSUE DAYS LATER, NISSAN REPLACED THE BATTERY AND WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS THEN SAME ISSUE BOUGHT ANOTHER BATTERY AND NEXT TIME CAR WOULDNT START IT MADE THE CLICK SOUND LIKE THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD BUT ITS TESTED FINE.IM TIRED OF HAVING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY JUST SO I WONT GET STRANDED. NISSAN DEALER CLAIMS CAR HAS TO BE DRIVEN AT LEAST 20 MILES PER DAY TO KEEP BATTERY CHARGED. NEVER HAD THAT ISSUE WITH MY 1989 SENTRA BUT IT HAD OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Engine, Oct 9, 2019
MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA HAD NO KNOWN PROBLEMS, AND I HAD NO ICONS ON MY DASHBOARD THAT SOMETHING NEEDED ATTENTION... NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT..NONE. AND WHEN I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO GET AN OIL CHANGE, MY CAR HAD NO SERIOUS ISSUES. AND JUST RECENTLY AS I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BREAK BECAUSE I WAS PARKING MY CAR'S ENGINE TURNED OFF,, BUT THE RADIO WAS STILL ON. I ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES TO TURN ON UNTIL IT DID, BUT AS SOON AS I SHIFTED TO REVERSE OR DRIVE, THE ENGINE WOULD JUST TURN OFF. AND NOW MY CAR TURNS ON BUT MAKES A WEIRD NOISE LIKE SOMETHING IS DRAGGING, BUT ENGINE REMAINS ON, AND EVERY TIME I SHIFT TO DRIVE OR REVERSE MY CAR TURNS OFF. IV'E PURCHASED MY CAR NEW BACK IN 2013, AND IT ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES. I DON'T DRIVE LONG DISTANCES TOO OFTEN OR GET ON THE HIGHWAY TOO MUCH. I WORK ABOUT 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM WORK WITH TRAFFIC. I HAVE DONE MY OIL CHANGE AT MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING EVER CAME UP ON THEIR MULTI INSPECTION. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR.

IVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2013 SENTRA SR SPUTTERING RANDOMLY AND OUT OF NOWHERE SHAKES AND COMPLETLY SHUTS OFF NO MATTER THE SPEED IM DOING. WHICH HAS ME CONCERNED AS THIS IS BECOMING A BIG SAFETY ISSUE NOW THRU OUT THE YEARS ITS GOTTEN PROGGRESIVLY WORSE WITHOUT ANY DEALERSHIP BEING ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE CAUSE THE CAR SHOWS NO WARNING LIGHTS OR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M STOPPED AND MOVING HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND SOMETIMES THE CAR WONT ACCELERATE PAST 3 RPM'S.

VEHICLE IN NOTION ON CITY STREETS. VEHICLE LOOSES ACCELERATION (GAS PEDDLE PRESSED, NO RPMS, NO ENGINE REVVING) WOULD HAVE TO RELEASE GAS AND PRESS PEDDLE AGAIN A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE CAR WOULD JERK INTO ACCELERATION. ALSO, BREAK LIGHTS FLICKER WHEN CAR IS IN PARK (LIKE IF SOMEONE WAS TAPPING THE BREAKS, BUT NOBODY WAS IN THE CAR. CAR HAS ROUGHLY 66K MILES
Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Engine, Feb 13, 2019
THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 60,962 THE CAR STARTED STARTED SHAKING, JERKING AND LOOSING SPEED AND THEN IT CUTTING OFF AT THE STOP LIGHT. THE CAR CUT OFF ON ME GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY I WAS AT A LIGHT & THEN I WAS UNABLE TO PROCEED WITH TRAFFIC. I TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS & TURNED THE HEAT OFF WAITED FOR THE CAR TO MAYBE COOL OFF I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG & THEN I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR & DRIVE HOME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER SHIP TWICE & THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE AIRFLOW FILTER AFTER THEY CLAIMED IT WAS FIXED IT HAPPENED AGAIN I CONTACTED NISSAN AGAIN AND THEY FINALLY ADMITTED THAT THIS CAR HAS A BAD TRANSMISSION. THERE IS NO WAY A CAR UNDER 100K MILES SHOULD HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION I BOUGHT THIS CAR @ 26K IN 2016. NOW IS COSTING ME OVER 3,000.00 TO FIX MY CAR . NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE ON THESE CARS AND INSTEAD OF RECALLING THEM THEY CONTINUE TO ALLOW THESE CARS TO BE SOLD OVER & OVER AGAIN AGAIN. I WANT A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION INTO THE ON GOING PROBLEMS WITH THE 2013 NISSAN SENTRA'S. I HAVE LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL AS MAIN ROADS STOPPED AT LIGHTS HOLDING UP TRAFFIC IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS I HAD THIS CAR TOWED IN TOTAL OF 5 TIMES IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS.

MY VEHICLE INTERIOR LATCH HANDLES ON EACH DOOR ARE DEFECTIVE AND HAS STOP WORKING. WE HAVE TO LET DOWN THE WINDOW TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE TO GET OUT. THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2017. FIRST IT. WAS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR THAT BECAME INOPERABLE THEN THE THREE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS DID THE SAME. THEY ALL STOP WORKING.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 85,000. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS GAINING SPEED; THEN THE CAR WOULD START SHAKING, JERKING AND PAUSING. I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 152 ON MY WAY TO SAN JOSE, CA WHEN MY CAR STARTED LOSING SPEED AND SHAKING. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS TERRIFYING. I MADE IT TO WORK AND STARTED DOING RESEARCH ABOUT WHAT MY CAR WAS DOING AND FIND OUT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN TECH. TOLD ME TO CALL NISSAN USA, SO I DID. THEY GAVE A CASE NUMBER AND THEY COMMUNICATED WITH THE DEALER TO CONFIRM THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. NISSAN AGREED TO PAY PART OF THE COST TO REPAIR TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS TOO SOON FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. NISSAN IS CHARGING ME 2000 TO FIX IT. I HONESTLY THINK NISSAN SHOULD START REPAIRING ALL TRANSMISSIONS WITHOUT A COST FOR CUSTOMERS. THEY KNOW THEIR TRANSMISSIONS HAVE DEFECTS. I WILL TRY TO SELL MY CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS THEY ARE ONLY GOING TO GIVE ME ONE YEAR WARRANTY.

I ALMOST DIED TODAY ON A BUSY FAST STREET MY CAR TURNED OFF WHILE IT WAS ON AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO PRESS THE BRAKES AND MY STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED IF IT WASN'T FOR MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WORKING AND THEY'RE BEING A PART OF THE LANE THAT WAS VACANT AT THAT SECOND I WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD THERE WERE CARS FLYING THROUGH THAT STREET. THIS IS A COMPLETE HAZARD TO MY LIFE AND TO MY FAMILY'S LIFE AND TO THE LIVES OF OTHER CIVILIANS DRIVING. NISSAN WILL HAVE A SERIOUS LAWSUIT ON YOUR HANDS IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME AND MY FAMILY BECOMES AWARE THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRIC ISSUE. I'M GOING TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP BUT IF THEY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT FIXABLE OR THEY MAKEUP SOME ISSUE WITH MY CAR THAT WAS TRULY ISN'T THE PROBLEM AND THEY'RE ONLY DOING THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND THE ACTUAL PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THAT STALL IN THOSE MATTER OF SECONDS I WILL BE SEEKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST NISSAN. I BABYSIT PEOPLE SO I AM PUTTING THOSE KIDS LIVES AT RISK DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THAT I SO DEEPLY DEPENDED ON FOR EVERY DAY METHOD OF TRAVEL. EITHER NISSAN IS GOING TO TO FIX THIS VEHICLE OR YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THIS CALL A LEMON AND DO A RECALL AND PROVIDE THE CUSTOMER WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS ACTUALLY SAFE AND NOT GOING TO POTENTIALLY KILL SOMEONE CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THIS OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY

MY NAME IS [XXX] I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY WIFE [XXX] THE VEHICLE IS 73,000 MILES WITH FREQUENT OIL CHANGES AND CHECK UPS. THE TRANSMISSION WENT ON THIS VEHICLE AND I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. AFTER MY MECHANIC DID A DIAGNOSTIC REPORT AND EXTENSIVE RESEARCH HE FOUND THAT THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED ME THAT NISSAN SAID THEY ARE AT FAULT AND WILL PAY FOR HALF THE PRICE OF A NEW TRANSMISSION. I AM A DISABLED, RETIRED VETERAN AND CANNOT AFFORD $3000 TO PUT IN A VEHICLE THAT NISSAN KNOWS THEY ARE AT FAULT FOR. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES ON IT AND MY MECHANIC SAID THAT IT SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT HAVE ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS . I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
