Air bagsApr 13, 2017
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2015-2017 LEAF and 2014, 2016 and 2017 Sentra vehicles. Due to a manufacturing error within the air bag inflators, the passenger frontal air bag may not properly deploy in the event of a crash.
In the event of a crash, if the front passenger air bag doesn't deploy properly, it can increase the risk of injury to passengers.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began June 7, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

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.

MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA KEEPS JUMPING, JERKING AND STUTTERING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS 103,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT RESPOND AT FIRST OR BARELY START MOVING AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING WILL JUMP/KICK THE CAR FORWARD. THIS MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY DURING CITY AND TRAFFIC JAM CONDITIONS. AFTER LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THE 2014 NISSAN SENTRA AND IS THE CAUSE OF MANY ACCIDENTS. I AM PRETTY SURE THE ISSUE IS BEING CAUSED BY THE TRANSMISSION.

THE CAR SOMETIMES DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE AND OTHER TIMES I HAVE TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THE CAR CONTINUES AT THE SAME SPEED AS IF MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS AND AT TIMES, NO MATTER HOW FAST I TRY TO GO, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE PAST A CERTAIN SPEED. THERE IS ALOT OF HESITATION FOR THE CAR TO GO TO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS HAPPENS TO ME AS I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO WORK ON A MAIN ROAD.

Power train, Vehicle speed control, Other or unspecified, Mar 1, 2020
WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROX. 30 MPH TURNING AT THE END OF AN EXIT RAMP OFF THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AS IF IT WAS SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN BUT COULD ONLY GO 6 MPH WITHOUT JERKING VIOLENTLY. AFTER STOPPING, TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN NUMEROUS TIMES, WAS INTERMITTENTLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO GO FASTER THAN 6 MPH ONLY TO HAVE IT SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN AGAIN, JERKING WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES. IT TOOK ONE AND A HALF HOURS TO TRAVEL 16 MILES BACK HOME. NOT SURE WHATS WRONG...TRANSMISSION, SPEED SENSORS OR OTHER? I'VE GONE ONLINE AND SEEN OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. WHY HASN'T NISSAN BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE? NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS LEMON !

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR NISSAN SENTRA 2014 ON THE HIGHWAY TO GO TO THE AIRPORT WHEN SUDDENLY OUR CAR WAS GOING DOWN THE SPEED TO 45 MPH. IT WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE OTHER CARS WERE GOING TO 65 MPH AND MORE. WHEN WE ARRIVED IN FRONT OF THE PARKING LOT. THE CAR DIDN'T GO ANYMORE. WE WERE STUCK ON THE MIDDLE LANE AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUSH THE CAR WITH THE HELP OF ANOTHER PERSON TO THE PARKING LOT. THE CAR SMELL LIKE SOME FLUIDS WHERE BURNING.THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE ABOUT 3 TIMES BECAUSE I HEARD A BAD NOISE, BUT THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL. AFTER THIS INCIDENT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD, RIGHT NOW IS AT THE DEALERSHIP GETTING APPROVAL FROM THE CORPORATION TO FIX IT. THE CORPORATION AND THE DEALERSHIP KNEW THAT CVT TRANSMISSION ARE DEFECTIVE AND THEY ARE PUTTING US IN DANGER.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT IN 2018. CAR RPM JUMPS UP AND DOWN WHEN DRIVING. CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN I'M PARK AND LEFT IN IDLE SOMETIMES, IT TAKES A LOT TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT IN THE VEHICLE. HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN THE BEGINNING OF 2019 THINKING IT WILL FIX IT, BUT THE ISSUE STILL OCCURS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO MECHANICS AND THEY ALL SUGGESTED TO CONTACT NISSAN. I'VE SPENT ALMOST 4,000-6,000 ON REPAIRS WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS. ALL RELATED TO THE SAME ISSUE

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA THAT IS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, I HAVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION THAT SO MANY CONSUMERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. I WAS IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT ON OCT. 29TH 2019 WHEN MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD AND REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS AT A TOTAL STOP (STATIONARY) AND MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS. MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS IT LUNGES, JERKS AND RPM GO UP WHEN IDLING. I AM HEARING GRINDING NOISES AND MY CAR JERKS AND DRAGS WHEN DRIVING. I HAD IT IN THE SHOP ABOUT A YEAR AGO FOR CLICKING NOISES AND GEAR HARD SHIFTING, THEY COVERED UP THE PROBLEM AND I PAID THE DEALER $116 TO LUBE MY GEAR SHIFT AND STRUTS.I STILL OWE $4000 ON THIS CAR. THE NISSAN DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $150 FOR A TRANSMISSION INSPECTION. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THE TRANSMISSION ON 2014. THANK YOU. CATHY

ONE YEAR LATER I'M HAVING OTHER ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I'M NOT THE ONLY COMPLAINTING ABOUT THIS THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES HAVING CVT ISSUES. I CANT AFFORD TO PUT MORE MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE. ALMOST DONE PAYING IT OFF BUT HAVING ANOTHER ISSUE I JUST WANT TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP!!!
Power train, Nov 20, 2019
TRANSMISSION ACTS ERRATICALLY, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SLIPPAGE, VIBRATIONS, LOSS OF POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (ALMOST LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL). WE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR THESE PROBLEMS AT 50,788 MILES (12/29/2017), THE DEALER DID A REPROGRAM AT THIS TIME, AND 54,904 MILES (03/09/2018)WITH THE NISSAN DEALER SAYING THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. NOW THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THESE PROBLEMS, BUT EVEN THOUGH THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 84,000 MILES, OUR VEHICLE HAS 85,750 MILES SO IT IS NOT COVERED. THE DATE AND INCIDENT INFORMATION BELOW REPRESENTS THE DATE OF THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE.

LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD, THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON THESE CARS ARE EXTREMELY HORRIBLE AND POTENTIALLY VERY UNSAFE. THE RPM'S WILL START TO DECREASE AND INCREASE WITH NO WARNING, EVENTUALLY LEAVING THE CAR TO A SLOW CRAWL. VERY UNSAFE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A YOUNG DRIVER ON A BUSY FREEWAY ON HIS WAY BACK TO COLLEGE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A 'PENDING" RECALL AND LAWSUIT ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND IS LONG OVERDUE. IT'S NO WONDER, CAR MANUFACTURERS LIKE HONDA AND TOYOTA COME HIGHER RATED, THESE CARS ARE NOT JUST UNRELIABLE, BUT VERY UNSAFE BASED ON THEM HAVING PAST KNOWN MALFUNCTIONS WHICH SEEM TO KEEP RECURRING EVERY YEAR. FILING A COMPLAINT ISN'T GOING TO FIX ANYTHING EITHER, HOPEFULLY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WILL FORCE NISSAN'S HAND TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY ARE AND HAVE BEEN AWARE OF FOR YEARS.

I CRUNK CAR UP AFTER BEING PARKED FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS. THE CAR CRUNK WITH A LOAD WHINING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IT DROVE FOR ABOUT 5 FEET AND SUDDENLY WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CAR WAS POWERED ON BUT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD "WENT OUT" AT 68,970. PER MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT ID # 11030604, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ON 10/13/17 AT 39,851 MILES. AFTER RECEIVING SERVICE RECORDS, I CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED AT 14,826 MILES (DATE OF REPLACEMENT UNAVAILABLE). THE 2014 NISSAN SENTRA'S CVT TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED NON DRIVER INITIATED HESITATION, ACCELERATION, SLOWING DOWN TO ALMOST A STOP, AND STOPPING WHILE DRIVING. MY PARTICULAIR VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST 3 TIMES AT 68,970 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP AT LEAST 4 TIMES FOR THIS SAME ISSUE (INCLUDING ONE TIME AT 39,824 WHEN THE CVT CONTROL VALVE ASSEMPLY WAS REPLACED).
