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.

MY CAR WAS JERKING WHEN I WAS GOING IN REVERSE AT FIRST. NOW AS I AM GOING FORWARD IT STARTED JERKING. BROUGHT MY CAR IN AND WAS TOLD IT IS MY TRANSMISSION. MY CAR IS A NISSAN SENTRA 2013 WITH 70,800 MILES CURRENTLY ON IT.
Power train, Aug 27, 2017
LAST FRIDAY THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA STOPPED WORKING WITH 30,024 MILES ON THE CAR. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT WHEN IT STARTED MAKING A NOISE, SO SHE PULLED OVER. SHE SAID IT WOULD NOT MOVE FWD OR REV AFTER THAT. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND ALWAYS TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR ALL SERVICE.
Engine, Aug 24, 2017
MY CAR HAS AROUND 78000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY DIED AND I NEED A NEW ONE. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND NORMALLY TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 10 YEARS. IT HAS BEEN 4... I AM EXTREMELY UPSET SINCE I OWE 10,000 ON THE CAR.
Power train, Aug 15, 2017
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE STREET AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. NISSAN KNEW THEY SOLD ME A CAR WITH A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND NOW THEY WILL NOT FIX IT DUE TO SAYING IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE AND NEED TO COME UP WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED. 2013 NISSAN SENTRA TRANSMISSIONS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND PAID FOR BY NISSAN DUE TO SELLING CARS THAT THEY KNOW ARE NO GOOD.

FIRST IS WAS THE A/C WENT OUT FRIST THEN THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHEN ME MY HUSBAND WAS HEADED TO WORK ONE DAY THE A EIGHTEEN WHEELER ALMOST RAM INTO USE BECAUSE THE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND WOULDN'T GO ANY WHERE.
Power train, Aug 2, 2017
MY CAR HAD BEEN "SOFT STALLING" FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS - IT WOULD KEEP RUNNING, BUT AT JUST ABOUT ANY SPEED/DRIVING CONDITION, WOULD EITHER EXPERIENCE A STRUGGLE TO ACCELERATE/MAINTAIN SPEED (RPMS UP TO 6,000 WITH NO WARNING/REASON), START TO DROP SPEED, OR HESITATE/KICK BACK AT ME. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC ON WED, 7/28, AND ON THURS, 7/29, HE TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED COMPLETELY, THAT IT WAS CYCLING THROUGH GEARS, AND DROPPING GEARS RANDOMLY. HE SAID THAT HE SPOKE WITH NISSAN, AND BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY MILES (72K VS 60K), THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY DON'T ISSUE REPAIR KITS FOR THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION, AND A RE-MANUFACTURED CVT WOULD BE $3900, WITH PARTS AND LABOR. I OWED $6000 ON THAT CAR, AND WAS FORCED TO JUNK IT. NISSAN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DENY WARRANTY CLAIMS ON THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AS THEY'RE AN ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM IN OTHER MODELS.
Vehicle speed control, Jul 31, 2017
TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR TWO YEARS AND EVERY COUPLE MONTHS WHILE IDLING IT WILL TURN OFF. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR WON'T GO OVER 15 MILES PER HOUR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACTED OBSERVED THAT THE RPMS INCREASED TO 7 RPMS AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (BATTLES NISSAN, 60 MACARTHUR BLVD, BOURNE, MA, 02532) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000. *CN
Power train, Jul 20, 2017
THE VEHICLE HAS ONE OWNER, USED ON DAILY ROUTE TO WORK AND A FEW SHORT TRIPS. 67,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV UP AND DOWN 500 RPMS TO MAINTAIN SPEED. PROBLEM CEASED WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL. PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. WITHIN TWO DAYS BEFORE GETTING IT SERVICED, THE CONDITION WORSENED. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AT SLOW SPEEDS, ALL CONDITIONS, WITH THE FLUCTUATING RPMS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BEING 1500 RPMS. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A PRESSURE MALFUNCTION IN THE TRANSMISSION. IT DESTROYED THE INNER WORKINGS OF THE TRANSMISSION. DEBRIS FROM THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN THE FLUID, AND THE FLUID WAS SEVERELY BURNED. THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $4200.
Vehicle speed control, Jul 19, 2017, crash
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION. THE FIRST TIME IT HAD HAPPEN IT WAS AROUND APRIL 2017 ON A HOT DAY. I THOUGHT MAYBE ME TURNING THE AIR ON PLUS WITH THE HEAT THAT IT WAS THE REASON FOR THE MALFUCTION, BUT THEN IT DID IT AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE I WAS TURNING ONTO A BUSY INTERSECTION. I TOOK IT TO A CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE TO ASK IF HE HAD ANY KNOWN SOLUTIONS TO WHY I AM LOSING ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING. BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW OF ANY. SO FOR A WHILE IT WAS DRIVING NORMAL...AT LEAST I THOUGHT. MY DAUGHTER HAD USED THE VEHICLE AND I FORGOT TO TELL HER ABOUT THE ACCELERATION ISSUE, BUT SHE ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE LOST OF ACCELERATION. I THEN STARTED PAYING MORE ATTENTION AND WAS GOING TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE PROFESSIONAL TO GET IT LOOKED AT.UNFORTUNATELY I DID NOT GET IT LOOKED AT FAST ENOUGH AS THE ACCELERATION WENT OUT AGAIN AND CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. AS I WAS DRIVING AND COMING AROUND A CURVE THE ACCELERATION ONCE AGAIN LEFT AND AS I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST HIT THE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES TO TRY TO GET IT TO REV UP SO THAT I CAN DRIVE. ONLY THIS TIME AND AFTER HITTING THE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES IT JERKED AND REV HARD WHICH STARTLED ME AND I LOSS CONTROL OF THE CAR. MY CAR FLIPPED OVER 3 TIMES. BY THE GRACE OF GOD I SURVIVED. PUZZLED AND TRYING TO GET MY SELF BACK ON MY FEET I STARTED TO RESEARCH WHAT POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE BEEN WRONG WITH THAT CAR ONLY TO LEARN THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO EXPERIENCED THIS WITH SENTRAS. I AM GLAD OTHERS WAS SAFE, BUT I ALSO FEEL THAT WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM CARMAX THAT ANY AND ALL RECALLS SHOULD HAVE BEEN POINTED OUT TO ME. OR AT LEAST SOMETHING FROM NISSAN DUE TO ME BEING A NEW OWNER POINTING OUT ANY ISSUES THEY HAD WITH THESE CARS. THIS NOT ONLY TRAUMATIZED ME IT ALSO CAUSE ME TO BE LABELED WITH INSURANCE COMPAINES AS (AT FAULT) DRIVER. MEANING MY INSURANCE PAYMENTS HAVE SKYROCKETED. ..UPDATED 08/04/17 *BF UPDATED 08/07/17 *BF *CN *JS

2013 NISSAN SENTRA TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 78,600 MILES WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE WE WERE TRAVELING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY ON THE WAY HOME FROM A LONG ROAD TRIP. WHILE DRIVING AT AN SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 70-75 MPH IN TN ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE BEGAN DECELERATE AND THE RPM'S JUST KEPT REVVING UP. IT WAS JUST ME (A FEMALE) AND MY TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE. I ATTEMPTED TO THE EMERGENCY SHOULDER WITH MY HAZARDS ON TRYING TO AVOID BEING HIT BY A TRANSFER TRUCK AND SEVERAL VEHICLES. I SHUT THE CAR OFF TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND WAS AFRAID OF WHAT JUST OCCURRED. I STARTED THE ENGINE BACK AND IT BEGAN DRIVING FINE FOR ABOUT 10 MINS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN IT DECELERATED AGAIN NEAR THE ATLANTA AREA AND TOTALLY DRIVING POWER. I WAS 3 HOURS FROM HOME AND HAD TO CALL FOR HELP. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING AND ADVISED THEM OF THE ISSUE AND ENGINE CODES RECEIVED FROM AN AUTO STORE. I THEN CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND THEY ADVISED TO SIMPLY TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR SINCE IT WAS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED US A PRICE OF $3600 BEFORE TAXES AND ADVISED THAT THEY HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS BUT THAT'S JUST THE NATURE OF THEM. I HAVE CONCERNS THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER REVIEW AND IN DEPTH RESEARCH OF THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION ISSUES SEVERAL NISSAN OWNERS HAVE FACED IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. ADDITIONALLY, THE COST EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ISSUE IS CAUSING HARDSHIP ON CUSTOMERS THAT RELY ON THE BRAND AND SAFETY FEATURES NISSAN IS CONTINUING TO ADVERTISE. NISSANS COMMITMENT: DEAR NISSAN SENTRA OWNER: NISSAN IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF PRODUCT SAFETY, QUALITY AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. (STATEMENT IS NULL AND VOID PER THIS CONCERNED CUSTOMER)
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.

THE TRANSMISSION KEEPS SLIPPING. THE CAR HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT AND THE DEALER IS STATING THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. COST TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IS $4,800.

WHILE DRIVING 50-60 MPH, THE CAR SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY HOWEVER, IT REQUIRED ME TO PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE IN ORDER TO GO. THE DEALER INDICATED ITS A CVT ISSUE, WHICH MAY BE SUFFERING FROM A 'CVT BELT SLIP CONDITION,' WHICH IS THE FAILURE OF THE CHAIN DRIVE TO TRANSFER POWER THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION AND ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE.THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION (UNDER WARRANTY) AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. THE DEALER NOW HAS THE CAR TO DISCUSS WITH NISSAN THE NEXT STEPS.
