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.

In the affected vehicles, the occupant classification system (OCS) software may incorrectly classify the 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 airbag 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.

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 TRANSMISSION HAS JUST STOPPED WORKING I LOST POWER AND WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE AND I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED MY CAR AND DROVE HOME. I BROUGHT IT TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND WAS TOLD MY CVT HAS TO BE REPLACED AT $4,700 AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT COVERS TO 84,000 MILES BUT MY CAR IS NOW AT 94,000 BUT I THINK MY TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE

PURCHASED OUR 2013 NISSAN SENTRA SV IN MAY, 2016. IT CAME WITH A 7 YEAR CPO, EXPIRATION MAY 30, 2020. WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF PURCHASE I HAD WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A SHIFTING/TRANSMISSION RELATED ISSUE. WHEN GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THE CAR TACHOMETER WOULD REV TO 4500 RPM BUT NUT GO ANY FASTER, THEN SHAKE/THUNK, AND GO INTO 2ND GEAR. FROM THAT TIME UNTIL APRIL, 2020, I WENT IN TO 4 SEPARATE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS IN 2 STATES WITH THIS PROBLEM. EACH ONE SAID THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE NISSAN SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION STOPS WORKING. IN APRIL, 2020, MY LAST VISIT, I EXPLAINED A NEW PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE CAR COULD NOT MAINTAIN 65 MILES PER HOUR WITHOUT GOING INTO OVERDRIVE OR A HIGHER GEAR, AND WAS SHIFTING MULTIPLE TIMES INTO MULTIPLE GEARS. BUT STILL NOTHING WOULD BE DONE BY NISSAN AS THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT FAIL. THEN, ON JULY 22, 2020, THE TRANSMISSION STUCK IN 2ND TWICE. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND EXPLAINED MY SITUATION. A CASE SHEET WAS DEVELOPED AND I SENT IN INFORMATION TO THEM. 8 DAYS LATER THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID MY CPO WARRANTY ENDED END OF MAY, 2020, SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. BY THE WAY, MY CASE SHEET NUMBER WAS 40830236. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED THIS WEEK COSTING US OVER $4000. VERY, VERY FRUSTRATED. I KNOW OUR CPO ENDED END OF MAY, 2020. BUT NISSAN REFUSED TO LOOK AT TRANSMISSION UNTIL TOTAL FAILURE. I AM SENDING YOU COPIES OF OUR TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT BILL, A COPY FROM NISSAN NOTING TRANSMISSION NEEDING REPLACEMENT, AND OUR CPO WARRANTY. THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US.

FIRST TIME WAS IN SAN MARCOS ON I-10 FREEWAY WHILE ON THE WAY TO WORK WHILE IN THE MIDDLE LANE THE RPM SHOT UP THEN BACK DOWN AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN REAL FAST TO ABOUT 20 TO 25 MPH AND WITH NO BREAK LIGHTS SHOWING ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED, LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF WITH OUT AN ACCIDENT, AND AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES STARTED AND DROVE NORMAL. AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEK COMING HOME DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS AND AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TOWED IT TO GUNN NISSAN IN SAN ANTONIO TX AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY DID NOTHING, SO THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME $1100 TO FIX IT, SO I PAYED EVEN THO NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS. 6 DAYS AFTER IT WAS SO CALLED FIXED AND AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY RPM SHOT UP THE CAR SLOWED TO 20 TO 25 PMH AND ALMOST REAR END BECAUSE NO BREAK LIGHTS CAME ON. RETURNED IT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND NOW THEY SAY IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION $4000. MILEAGE THE FIRST ABOUT 82,000, AND THE LAST TIME 85,500 NISSAN NEW EXTENDED WARRANTY 7 YEARS OR 84,000 MILES AND IN CALIFORNIA 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES WHY ONLY CALIFORNIA. THE ISSUE WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE VERY SERIOUS AND COULD HAVE COSTED MY STEPDAUGHTER HER LIVE. I PAYED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND 6 DAYS LATER THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION.

THE CAR ACCELERATES SLOWER. ON ECO MODE, THE CAR GETS STUCK ON A GEAR; SOMETIMES IT WILL GET STUCK ON THE SECOND OR THIRD GEAR. FOR EXAMPLE, TODAY IT REVVED UP TO 5000 RPM AS I WAS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AND I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK ON GEAR 3.
Service brakes, Jul 4, 2020
WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, I PUSHED MY BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW FOR MY NEXT TURN. THE PEDAL WAS SLIGHTLY INEFFECTIVE, MEANING THE PRESSURE IN THE PEDAL WAS RELEASED AND THE BRAKE DID NOT HALT MY CAR IN A SAFE TIMEFRAME. I HAD TO RELEASE AND PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN TO FEEL PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM, AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW JUST IN TIME TO MAKE MY NEXT TURN. THIS WAS DEFINITELY SCARY AS I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE BEFORE.
Power train, Jul 2, 2020
MY TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TWICE BEFORE. THE FIRST TIME THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL IT GOT WORSE. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. I BROUGHT IT TO A TRANSMISSION EXPERT 5 DAYS LATER WHO TOOK PICTURES AS PROOF THAT IT WAS FAILING. THE NEXT DAY IS WHEN IT BROKE DOWN. NISSAN IS PRODUCING CARS WITH FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND THEN MAKING THEIR CUSTOMERS PAY FOR IT. THIS CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE IN DANGER. *TR

I PURCHASED FOUR SUMI TOUR PLUS LSW TIRES IN OCTOBER 2016. IN OCTOBER 2018, A BULGE WAS DISCOVERED IN ONE OF THE SIDEWALLS. THE COMPANY I BOUGHT THE TIRES FROM SUGGESTED THE TIRE MUST HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY A POTHOLE (EVEN THOUGH I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE THERE ARE FEW, IF ANY, POTHOLES.) IN APRIL 2020, ANOTHER BULGE WAS DISCOVERED IN ONE OF THE THREE REMAINING ORIGINAL TIRES. BOTH BULGES OCCURRED WITH THE TIRES HAVING LESS THAN THE 50,000 MILE WARRANTY. I CONTACTED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THE BULGES WERE "IMPACT BUBBLES," WHICH IS NOT A DEFECT, BUT A ROAD HAZARD. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE, AS I HAVE HIT POTHOLES IN THE PAST THAT HAVE ACTUALLY DENTED MY RIM, BUT NEVER HAVE I HAD BULGES OCCUR IN THE TIRES THEMSELVES IN ALL MY YEARS OF DRIVING...LET ALONE TWO BULGES IN UNDER TWO YEARS. *TR *JS

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA (54,000 MILES) TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT NEW FOR DIAGNOSIS. WAS ADVISED FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CODE NOT BEING READ CORRECTLY SO FUEL PUMP NEEDS REPLACED. ESTIMATE $671 AND MY DIAGNOSIS WAS $145. I CALLED NISSAN BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL, BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. THE FUEL PUMP SHOULD LAST 125,000 MILES! VERY DISSAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN, THEY SAID SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY COULD NOT OFFER ANYTHING. NOW I'M JUST WAITING FOR THE WELL-DOCUMENTED TRANSMISSION FAILURE TO HAPPEN. THIS WAS MY FIRST NEW CAR EVER, AND I CAREFULLY RESEARCHED IT BEFORE PURCHASE. THEY CERTAINLY AREN'T MAKING THIS CUSTOMER FEEL TAKEN CARE OF BY NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACING THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP.

I BOUGHT MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA SR FROM TOWNE AUTO BROKERS 03/2013 I TEST DROVE IT AND IT HAD NO SHIFTING PROBLEMS AT THAT TIME. 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE I'M DRIVING IT THE SENTRA STARTED JERKING AND IDLING ERRATICALLY, THE RPM TACHOMETER RED LINED 3 TIMES WITHOUT THE GAS PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED!! WHILE REDLINING THE SENTRA'S TRANSMISSION SHUDDER WITH THE ERRATIC JERKING ALL THE WHILE DECELERATING BEFORE CATCHING 3RD GEAR AT 4,000 RPM. I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC 3 MILES FROM HOME SO I DECIDED TO TRY AND MAKING IT HOME. WHILE STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT THE SENTRA IDLED NORMAL, THEN AT THE GREEN LIGHT WHEN I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENED( NO POWER AT ALL AND THE RPM DIDN'T RISE) I WAS LITERALLY STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION NOT ABLE TO MOVE MY NISSAN SENTRA UNDER ITS OWN POWER!!! I'M AFRAID THAT THIS IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS WELL AWARE OF BEFORE INSTALLATION IN NISSAN SENTRA AND ALL OTHER MODELS WITH THIS CVT TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE THE NISSAN CORPORATION SHOULD RECALL ALL CVT TRANSMISSION DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURE RESULTING IN LACK OF POWER.

WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR CONTINUES TO JERK AND JERK AS I TRIED TO GIVE THE CAR GAS. IT WOULD SPUTTER AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN JUMP REALLY QUICK. IT FINALLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I GOT STUCK AT TWO LIGHTS! I FINALLY GOT MY DESTINATION AND GOT STUCK ON THE HILL. MY FOOT WAS ALL THE WAY ON THE GAS PEDAL AND SOME KIND GENTLEMEN PUSHED MY CAR UP THE HILL SO I COULD PARK IT. IT'S VERY SCARY AS I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME AND FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN IT PUTS ALL OF OUR LIVES IN DANGER. I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR INTERSECTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED. ANY TIME O WOULD COME TO A STOP IT WOULD STALL AND IT WOULD NOW ALLOW ME TO TURN. THE ACCELERATION WOULD NOT WORK. I HAD TO CUT THE CAR OFF TWICE TO TRY AND SEE IF IT WOULD RESTART AND GIVE ME ENOUGH PUSH TO MY DESTINATION. BUT AS STATED MY FOOT WAS COMPLETELY ON THE GAS AND IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH!

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ON CRUISE CONTROL GOING 70MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD TO PULL OVER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT WAS NOT ACCELERATING. I HAD TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW CVT TRANSMISSION. MY CAR ONLY HAS 114,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD STILL BE WORKING FINE. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS/CAR WRECKS.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT 120,000 MILES AND HAVE DRIVEN IT TO 139,000. I STARTED NOTICING MY TRANSMISSION STALLING AND I REVIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL A COUPLE TIMES REGARDING MY TRANSMISSION BEING RECALLED. I UNFORTUNATELY DON'T HAVE THE LETTER ANYMORE REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION.
Power train, Mar 5, 2020
I HAD TO PAY OVER $4,000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THEM. THE CVT WAS BAD ON TBESE NISSONS 2012-2017 MODELS.
Steering, Suspension, Wheels, Mar 3, 2020
WHILE IN MOTION THE PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINT DID BREAK. THIS ALLOWED THE WHEEL TO BECOME NON RESPONSIVE AND CAUSED THE DRIVE AXLE TO BREAK. IF THE VEHICLE WAS GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AT THE TIME, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SEVERE ACCIDENT TO SAY THE LEAST.
Power train, Feb 23, 2020
THE CAR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING, COASTING AND BRAKING. THE RPM NEEDLE MOVES ERRATICALLY. THIS MAKES THE CAR EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS THE JERKING COULD EASILY CAUSE A COLLISION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND PARKING LOTS, BUT I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR ON ANY HIGHWAYS BECAUSE I FEAR THE POSSIBLE OUTCOME. THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AT ONLY 93,000 MILES. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 2 HOURS FROM THE LOCATION OF THE JERKING TO MY HOME.
Engine, Feb 18, 2020
WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR IT CONSTANTLY JERKS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT ALSO JERKS WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS GOING DOWN A HILL. LAST WEEK WHEN DRIVING TO WORK I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE RPM NEEDLE FLEW UP AND GOT STUCK. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN A CAR THAT IS JUST BARELY 7 YEARS OLD. I AM ALSO HAVING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS SO I GET TO ENDURE THE FEAR OF NOT KNOWING IF THE CAR WILL GO WHEN I HIT THE GAS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR IS THE WORST TRANSMISSION EVER MADE. WONDERFUL NEWS. SO NOW MY CHOICES ARE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, ON TOP OF THE ALREADY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS I AM STILL PAYING ON THE CAR, TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION OR BE TERRIFIED EVERYTIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY CAR THAT I WON'T MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION. YOU HAVE MADE A VEHICLE THAT IS OF POOR QUALITY AND NOT WORTH THE MONEY YOU ARE EXPECTING PEOPLE TO PAY. YOUR CAR IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD. I PRAY THAT I AM CAPABLE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE CLEARLY INEVITABLE MECHANICAL ISSUES THAT WILL UNDOUBTEDLY HAPPEN AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.
