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.

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.

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.

'TAKATA RECALL" I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW, I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS AND NOW I NEED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN ALIGNMENT, I WAS SHOWN WHERE THERE IS A LEAK ON THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE TAKEN IT TO 3 SEPARATE MECHANICS. UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE ITS A CVT TYPE OF TRANSMISSION, ONLY NISSAN IS ABLE TO FIX IT! NISSAN WON'T BUDGE ON THE COST OF REPAIRS, THEY HAVE AN I DON'T CARE ATTITUDE ABOUT IT. IT'S A [XXX] SHAME THAT NISSAN IS BUILDING FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I AM LITERALLY KICKING MYSELF IN THE [XXX] FOR BUYING A NISSAN. ONCE UPON A TIME, NISSAN WAS KNOWN TO MAKE EXCELLENT QUALITY CARS THAT WERE BUILT TO LAST A LIFETIME. THIS IS MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR, BUT NOT MY FIRST NISSAN. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! I WILL NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE A NISSAN! I WILL DISCOURAGE EVERYONE I KNOW FROM BUYING NISSAN VEHICLES! WHAT A DISGRACE!!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN REPLACE TWICE, THE CAR SHAKES, JOLTS AND SHUT OFF. NOW FOR A THIRD TIME WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET THE CAR SHOCK HARD AND THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE FELL.

HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW WAITING TO SEE WITH WHAT EXCUSE THE COME OUT WITH. CAR ALWAYS SHAKES SINCE I TOG IT NEW IN 2013. *TR

Power train, Oct 2, 2016
WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR, MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA STARTED SHAKING AND VIBRATING. THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING SOUNDS, AND SINCE I WAS IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC, I NOTICED THAT WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES OR TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T RESPOND. THE RPM METER WAS JUMPING ALL OVER THE PLACE. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, MY CAR WOULDN'T MOVE, AND THEN WOULD JERK FORWARD SUDDENLY. THIS ALL MADE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY VERY SCARY, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PROBLEMS CAME ABOUT SUDDENLY. I WOULD HAVE TO KEEP AN OVERCAUTIOUS DISTANCE FROM OTHER VEHICLES BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE WHEN MY CAR WOULD DECIDE TO STOP OR SPEED UP. ALL OF THIS WAS HAPPENING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THE TRANSMISSION HAS HAD A RECALL BEFORE, AND I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF CONSUMER REPORTS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, I AM THE FIRST OWNER, AND I HAVE KEPT UP WITH ALL SERVICE REQUIREMENTS. CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACE, THAT THIS CARS CONTINUING TO HAVE THIS ISSUE SINCE THE BEGINING OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON THE SENTRAS I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PUTTING CARS WITH UNSAFE TRANSMISSIONS ON THE ROAD, MY FAMILY OWN MANY NISSAN VEHICLES AND THEY ARE GOOD PRODUCTS WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS

I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AGAINST THE NISSAN MOTOR COOPERATION FOR FAULTY CRAFTSMANSHIP IN 2013 NISSAN SENTRA THAT I PURCHASED IN JACKSONVILLE,FLA. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY CAR AUTONATION NISSIAN IN ORANGE PARK FLA THREE TIMES DUE ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE IN THE CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE CAR TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON ALL OVER SUDDEN. THE CAR THEN BRAKES AND SLOWS DOWN. I ATTEMPTED TO TRY AND TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BUT THEN A SECOND LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH BOARD. IN ADDITION YOU ALSO LOSE ACCELERATION WHEN THIS HAPPENS.THE MECHANIC,SHOP FOREMAN,AND SERVICE ADVISERS CAME TO CONCLUSION THAT THIS IS DUE TO EXCESSIVE MOISTURE IN THE TAILLIGHT WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO AUTOMATICALLY BRAKE WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSES A SHORTAGE IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE TAIL LIGHT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SEALED AT THE FACTORY. NISSAN WANTS ME TO PAY $491 WHICH I DONT HAVE. THEY THEN SAID I WOULD ONLY HAVE TO PAY A $100 OF WHICH I DONT HAVE. SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS NISSIAN SENTRA I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS IN WHAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A BRAND NEW CAR.THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND COULD CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT WITH THIS CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHORTING OUT. I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COST BECAUSE I NOT THE ONE THAT MANUFACTURED THE CAR AND I SHOULDN'T BE HELD LIABLE FOR THERE POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP.

WHILE GETTING READY TO ENTER A HIGHWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SPONGY, AND WENT COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. ON PUMPING THE PEDAL, THE BRAKING POWER WOULD COME AND GO. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS UNCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER HAD GONE BAD. THE CAR HAS ONLY 33279 MILES ON IT AND WAS RECENTLY SERVICED BY A NISSAN DEALER.
Power train, Aug 29, 2016
TRANSMISSION JERKS ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING BETWEEN 15-30 MPH. WARRANTY IS TO 60K, HOWEVER HUNDREDS (IF NOT THOUSANDS) OF OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE. RESETTING THE EMS MODULE DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. A CAR THAT WAS PAMPERED FOR 77K MILES SHOULD NOT NEED A $3,800 TRANSMISSION. BASED THE NUMBER OF OWNERS WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE, IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, NOT AN OWNER'S ISSUE. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH PROBLEM ON A NEW CAR. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD INVESTIGATE.
Service brakes, Aug 22, 2016
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PUMPED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP AND THE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD.

STRONG PULSATION IN BRAKE SYSTEM WHEN PEDAL IS DEPRESSED FOR A TIME PERIOD AT STOP LIGHT. STRONGER PULSATION IF WHEEL IS TURNED TO MAKE A TURN AT A LIGHT WHILE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THE AFOREMENTIONED HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS AT REST AT A LIGHT OR IN REVERSE AND BRAKES ARE APPILED . ALSO PEDAL MUST BE PUMPED TO STOP CAR AND BRAKES SEEM TO CATCH AND THEN RELEASE AND CATCH AGAIN WHEN STOPPING ,THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO PUMP BRAKES TO STOP CAR.

I RECEIVED A POSTCARD FROM NISSAN ABOUT THE RECALL. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO BE FIXED BUT DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED PARTS FROM NISSAN AND WILL NOT RECEIVE UNTIL AUGUST. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET DUE TO A ROAD TRIP I HAVE TO DO SOON WITH MY SON. I BELIEVE THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND PLACING MY PASSENGER AT RISK DUE TO THE NEGLECT ON NISSAN'S PART. I HOPE THIS IS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD EXTEND A RENTAL TO THOSE WHO ARE TRAVELING FREE OF CHARGE UNTIL THEY RECTIFY THIS ISSUE.

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
