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.

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.

PURCHASE CAR IN 2015. ON SEPT 27, 2017, MY TRANSMISSION BLEW. THE WARRANTY COVERED THE REPAIR. ON SEPT 12, 2018, THE TRANSMISSION BLEW AGAIN. I HAD TO PAY $3,106.83 OUT OF POCKET. ON MAY 7, 2021, THE TRANSMISSION BLEW AGAIN! I NOW HAVE NO WARRANTY AND NO MONEY TO REPAIR. I FEEL AS THOUGH I WAS SOLD A LEMON.

TRANSMISSION HAS STOP BEING AFFECTIVE IN A DRAMATIC TIME FRAME. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO PREVIOUS ISSUES, NOTHING CALLED OUT BY THE MANY NISSAN TECHS WHO HAVE WORKED ON THE CAR OVER THE YEARS. WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE, THERE IS A DELAY, FOLLOWED BY A HARD JERK INTO GEAR. WHILE ACCELERATING THE CAR STRUGGLES TO PROVIDE POWER THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION. THEN FAILS TO SHIFT INTO HIGHER GEARS WHILE ACCELERATING ON ALL ROAD TYPES. WHEN GOING TO ACCELERATE UP A HILL, I HAVE LOST ALL POWER WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR NEEDED TO BE PARKED IN A NO PARKING ZONE, DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER.

THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR SHREDDED ITSELF TO BITS IN A DAY AT 86K MILES. IT MADE A VERY MILD GRINDING NOISE GOING INTO WORK IN THE MORNING ON AN EXPRESSWAY AND DRIVING HOME THE SAME NIGHT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO JUMP OUT OF THE CAR. REVVING ENGINE WITH NO POWER ONLY FOR IT TO LAUNCH LIKE A ROCKET WITH NO WARNING, TERRIBLE CLUNKING, STALLING, THE WORKS, ESPECIALLY AT A STOP-START. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE THAT THEY BREAK AROUND 80K MILES AND CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

THE VEHICLE HESITATES SIGNIFICANTLY WHEN ACCCELERATING... AXTS LIKE IT DOESN'T SHIFT OUT RIGHT.... AND BOGS DOWN WHEN ACCELERATING AT NORMAL SPEEDS.
Power train, Jan 16, 2021
WE HAVE A NISSAN SENTRA 2013, WE'VE CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION WHEN VEHICLE HAD 80,000 MILES (ALMOST ONE YEAR AND A HALF AGO), VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE 30,000 MILES AND IS BROKEN AGAIN, WHILE NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOW THEY SAY THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SHAME ON NISSAN!!! THE WORST PART IS THAT THEIR OWN DEALERS KNOW THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE BECAUSE NISSAN TRANSMISIN BUILDER IS CHEAP AND THEY TEND TO FAIL FOR NO REASON.
Power train, Dec 21, 2020
THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES RECENTLY. WHEN ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE CAR TO STOP AND THEN TO JERK FORWARD AND SHUDDER. WHEN REVERSING THIS HAS ALSO BECOME AN ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REACH THE SPEED LIMIT ON A HIGHWAY. EVEN ENTERING NORMAL STREETS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN SINCE THE CAR WILL STOP AND SHUDDER SUDDENLY. BECAUSE OF TRANSMISSION CONCERNS, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD BUT WAS OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT NISSAN PROVIDED AS A SETTLEMENT IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHICH APPEARS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION SYSTEM.

Power train, Vehicle speed control, Dec 8, 2020
I WAS MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STOP PULLING RIGHT WHEN I GOT INTO TRAFFIC. THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AND WOULD NOT MOVE ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A ACCIDENT BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ANY SPEED AFTER MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO PUT MY BLINKER ON AN MERGE TO THE SHOULDER AND HAD TO RENT A UHAUL TRAILER TO PULL THE CAR HOME. MY CAR ONLY HAVE 132,000 MILES.
Power train, Nov 9, 2020
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD GOING 50 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIPPING AND MINUTES LATER THE CAR STARTED JERKING HEAVILY AND LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING I ONLY HAVE AROUND 130K MILES AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION WENT FROM PERFECTLY FINE TO SPEED WORKING IN A MATTER OF MINUTES
Power train, Oct 29, 2020
CVT TRANSMISSION OVER HEAT/ FAILURE AT 93000 MILES. VEHICLE AFTER ABOUT 1- 2 HOURS OF DRIVING WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD WHILE IN DRIVE. BLOCKED TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AS POLICE OFFICERS WERE GETTING A TOW TRUCK. AFTER CAR HAD BEEN SITTING WHILE OFF FOR ABOUT 30 I WAS ABLE TO START AND MOVE IT OFF THE ROAD. NISSAN RECOGNIZES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM INCREASED TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 84K MILES. SHOULD BE RECALLED!!! NO WARNING OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS EVER COME ON. NISSAN = JUNK!!

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA, WHICH I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. A YEAR OR TWO AGO, IT LOCKED UP AND LEFT ME STRANDED. WHEN I TOWED IT IN, AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE SHIFTER. THEY ALSO DID AN "ADJUSTMENT" TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE POORLY. IT EITHER WOULD HAVE A LAG WHEN ACCELERATING, OR WOULD RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. I CALLED TO COMPLAIN AFTER THE ADJUSTMENT. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS AND ADJUSTMENT NISSAN REQUIRED IN ORDER KEEP THE TRANSMISSION FROM GOING OUT. SO I PUT UP WITH IT. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT ABLE TO USE THE CAR TO TEACH MY KIDS TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION ADJUSTMENT. ONCE IT ACCELERATED SO INSTANTLY THAT MY DAUGHTER ALMOST RAN THROUGH THE GARAGE. I TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE ADJUSTMENT WAS NEEDED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. NOW GUESS WHAT, THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. IT ONLY HAS AROUND A 105000 MILES. IT STARTS JERKING AND STAYS STUCK IN A LOW GREAR. ALMSOT DIED ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED PROPERLY AND METICULOUSLY. I HAVE PUT UP WITH THE TRANS ADJUSTMENT. NOW THE DEALER (RIKART NISSAN) WANTS 4200.00 TO FIX IT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE NOTICED THERE ARE TONS OF CLASS ACTION SUITS, ETC. THEY SAY THEY WILL NOT REPAIR OR REBUILD IT. THEY SAY IT IS SUCH A TERRIBLE TRANSMISSION THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE WHOLE THING.

TRANSMISSION STARTED FAILING, OUT OF NISSAN'S CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT EXTENSION TO 84,000 MILES AS MY CAR HAD 95,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND MAINTAINED IT FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE AND WAS HOPING IT WOULD LAST HER THROUGH COLLEGE. I DROVE IT LAST FRIDAY, TRADED IT IN ON SUNDAY AS COST TO REPAIR EXCEEDED THE VALUE OF THE CAR. WAS NOT INFORMED OF RECALL WHICH IS ODD AS ONLY OWNER OF CAR BUT REGARDLESS THE VEHICLE NOT SAFE DUE TO KNOWN ISSUES OF CVT DRIVETRAIN. CAR WOULD JUMP, HESITATE, NO POWER THEN IT WOULD CATCH AND LUNGE WHEN GAS APPLIED. GOING DOWNHILL SEEMED TO CAUSE LOSS OF POWER AND WOULD ACTUALLY SLOW CAR DOWN CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO ACCELERATE TO GO DOWNHILL AND THUS PULL OFF ROAD TO STOP AND LET THE CAR SEEM TO REST PRIOR TO INTERSTATE DRIVING. THANKFUL WEATHER NOT BAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED OR THAT MY DAUGHTER NOT IN A WRECK BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE. WILL BOYCOTT NISSAN PRODUCTS REST OF MY LIFE. SPOKE WITH NISSAN REP WHO INFORMED ME NOTHING CAN BE DONE BY NISSAN TO HELP ME. I HELPED MYSELF AND BOUGHT A HONDA.

WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND IN "PARK" (THE ENGINE MAY BE RUNNING OR OFF AND YOU GO TO START IT UP), THE CAR WILL NOT COME OUT OF "PARK". THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY. TO GET THE CAR OUT OF "PARK", PER THE OWNER'S MANUAL, THERE IS AN INSET HALF-CIRCLE (8MM) PLASTIC PIECE LABELED "SHIFT LOCK" NEXT TO THE SHIFTER THAT HAS TO BE PRIED OFF WITH AN APPROPRIATELY SIZED TOOL AND THEN AN APPROPRIATELY SIZED TOOL HAS TO BE INSERTED INTO THE SLOT AND PRESSED DOWN WHILE THE SHIFTER IS SIMULTANEOUSLY MOVED OUT OF "PARK" (NOTE: YOU NEED TO USE BOTH HANDS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS PLUS OBTAIN THE NECESSARY TOOLS). THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND IN "PARK" - WHILE WAITING TO PICK SOMEONE UP, STOPPING TO DROP SOMEONE OFF, IN A TRAFFIC JAM; AT A SAFETY CHECK ON A HIGHWAY, PARKED IN A LOT, PARKED IN A GARAGE, ETC. THIS PROBLEM OF THE SHIFTER STUCK IN "PARK" ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IN MOTION AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN PLACED IN THE "PARK" POSITION - THE ENGINE CAN BE EITHER ON OR OFF AND YOU GO TO START THE CAR.

TRANSMISSION HAS JUDDER, LOSS OF POWER NO MATTER IF ON A STRAIGHTWAY OR CLIMBING A HILL WHICH CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS NOW A CONSTANT ISSUE.

CAR HAS 103000 MILES. BOUGHT USED AND AFTER HAD NISSAN SERVICE CAMPAIGNS COMPLETED AND STATING CAR IN GOOD SHAPE. THEN CAR BEGAN HIGH REVVVING BEFORE SHIFTING, OCCASIONAL SHUDDER WHEN SHIFTING TO DRIVE OR REVERSE, THEN ENTERS LOW MODE WITH NO ACCELERATION. TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION. CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THEY DENIED THE CLAIM ONLY STATING CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, NO OFFER TO AT LEAST SHARE THE COST. THIS CLEARLY SHOULD BE A FULL TRANSMISSION RECALL. DO NOT BUY A CAR WITH A CVT!
