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.

ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AND DID NOT TURN BACK ON
Suspension, Electrical system, Wheels, Apr 21, 2016
CAR WAS PURCHASED ON MARCH,2014, WE HAVE REPLACED THE ALL 4 TIRES ALREADY, BEARING AND STRUT NEEDED TO REPLACED, THE BATTERY DIED, WHICH WAS REPLACED ON TUESDAY APRIL 19TH, 2016, BY PEPBOYS, BECAUSE NISSAN DID NOT COVER IT. WE HAVE RADIO PROBLEM. SOMETIMES THE CAR DOES NOT PICK UP THE KEY AND DOES NOT START. SOMETIMES THE INDICATIONS ON THE DASH BOARD SUCH AS MILEAGE, GAS MILEAGE GOES BLANK . ALSO MY RADIO STOPS AND THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM DOES NOT START. RADIO HAS BEEN FIXED 2 TIMES ALREADY. THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS, BECAUSE EVEN WITH A NEW BATTERY THAT IS 2 DAYS OLD, THE CAR DOES NOT START SOMETIMES. ALSO COURTESY NISSAN IN RICHARDSON TEXAS REFUSED TO HELP US WITH ANY OF THIS, EVEN THOUGH WE BOUGHT EXTENDED 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. CAR HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT NOW. AT THE TIME THESE PROBLEMS STARTED IT HAS 36,000 MILES. I ALSO FOUND INFORMATION ONLINE, THAT IS THIS CAR IS RECALLED, HOWEVER WHEN I CALL NISSAN THEY SAID IT WAS NOT. I HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD AND IF THIS CAR IS UNSAFE, NISSAN SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.
Air bags, Apr 11, 2016
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN A 135 POUND PERSON IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. NOTICED THE RECALL ON NHTSA AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO STREATER SMITH NISSAN IN CONROE TEXAS. THEY PERFORMED A ZERO POINT RESET AND SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT IS CLEARLY LISTED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. I HAVE REAL CONCERNS THAT NISSAN HAS NOT SEEN FIT TO ORDER AN ACTUAL RECALL ON THIS DEFECTIVE ISSUE. BECAUSE UNTIL THEY DO THEIR DEALERS WILL NOT FIX THE SITUATION. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. I DO NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE THE DATE BELOW IS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN.

MY GAS/ACCELERATION DECREASES WHILE DRIVING ON BUST HIGHWAYS. I WAS TOLD BY A SERVICE TECH A DOUGLAS NISSAN, WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW SEPTEMBER 2014, THAT THEY HAVE HAD 'SEVERAL' CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT WHAT THEY HAVE FOUND IT TO BE IS A FAULTY BACK TAIL LIGHT AND COMPUTER READING GLITCH, THAT THEY HAVE FOUND MOISTURE BUILD UP DUE TO CONDENSATION (WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON) IN A BACK TAIL LIGHT CAUSES THE CAR TO 'THINK' IT IS IN REVERSE THUS CAUSING THE 'SKID' ICON TO APPEAR ON THE PANEL AND WHICH IS CAUSING THE CAR TO DECELERATE, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON SEVREAL OCCASIONS NOW WHERE MY SPEED HAS DECREASED TO 60 ON A 75 MH INTERSTATE HW IN DALLAS AND DRIVING NORTH TO SOUTH ON 45 AND ALMOST EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS OF DRIVING THE HOUR IT TAKES ME TO GET TO WORK IN THE DARK (I NEED MY LIGHTS). I AM TOLD THAT 'I' AM THE ONE WHO HAS TO PAY FOR THIS (A LIGHT COSTING 210.00 EACH AND LABOR AT 55.00 PER HOUR BECAUSE I AM AT 46000 MILES) EVEN THOUGHT THIS CLEARLY SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT, UNTIL I CAN AFFORD THE NEW LIGHTS, TO TRY TURNING MY LIGHTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND NOT TO USE MY FOG LIGHTS'I DRIVE IN THE DARK EVERY DAY'I MUST USE MY LIGHTS! I PRAY THIS BECOMES RECALL BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR AND I PRAY MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE DOES NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS! THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 12 OCCASIONS NOW AND IT IS VERY SCARY!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR MOTOR FAILED TO WORK, WHICH PREVENTED THE WINDOW FROM ROLLING UP. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO GET THE WINDOW TO ROLL UP AND HAD TO USE DUCT TAPE AS WELL AS OTHER ADJUSTMENTS TO SECURE THE WINDOW DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
Air bags, Dec 29, 2015
THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES INDICATING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS DISABLED DURING TRAVEL INTERMITTENTLY BOTH WITH AND WITHOUT A PASSENGER PRESENT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS HAPPENED DURING ALL TYPES OF DRIVING AND SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN MAKING A RELATIVELY SHARP RIGHT HAND TURN. DEALER DID UPDATE FIRMWARE AND/OR RE-CALIBRATE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM UNDER WARRANTY BUT THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE ONE OR MORE AIR BAG COMPONENTS IS INTERMITTENTLY FAILING. THE DURATION OF THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYING ILLUMINATED HAS BEEN ANYWHERE FROM A FEW SECONDS TO 30+ MINUTES. FIRST TAKEN TO DEALER IN JULY 2015, HAVE CALLED AND/OR BEEN BACK IN SEVERAL TIME SINCE. THEY HAVE STATED THEY MUST BE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE/RESOLVE. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN AIR BAG SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY FAILING, NOT SOMETHING LESS CRITICAL LIKE A RADIO OR AIR CONDITIONER.
Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 1, 2015
2014 NISSAN SENTRA SL 4 DOOR SEDAN - FAULTY FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR IS SHOWING LESS FUEL THAT IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK I.E. THERE IS MORE FUEL IN THE TANK THAN WHAT THE GAUGE INDICATOR SHOWING - AND IT GETTING WORSE. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THAT RECOMMENDS TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. I TOOK IT IN SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL IT HAPPENING I.E. THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST/NOT CORRECTED. DEALER REPLACE FUEL PUMP BUT PROBLEM STILL EXIST/NOT CORRECTED - AND DEALERS GIVING VARIOUS EXCUSES. IT IS VERY AGONIZING EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, ETC. ETC. THINKING THAT THE VEHICLE WILL RUN OUT OF GAS AND LEFT ONE STRANDED. CANNOT TELL NOW IF THE DIGITAL OR MANUAL GAUGE READING IS CORRECT BECAUSE BOTH ARE DIFFERENT. PS. THIS GRADUALLY STARTED IN NOVEMBER 2014. I KEPT MONITORING IT AND IT GETTING WORSE, THEN I DECIDED TO CALL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND TOOK IT BACK FOR REPAIRS ON AUGUST 31, 2015 - THEN AGAIN, SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 - THE AGAIN NOVEMBER 6, 2015 . THIS IS THE REASON FOR ME TO STATE "THE HAPPEN DATE" AS AUGUST 31, 2015. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAUSES OVER FILLING AND SPILLING OF GAS THAT CAN CAUSE A FIRE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A MALFUNCTION OF THE NISSAN FUEL PUMP AND THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE NHTSA SPEEDILY INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY MATTER. AFTER NOVEMBER 6, 2015 - I CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGES FOR THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE THAT HANDLES MY CASE, BUT SHE NEVER CONTACTED ME BACK.

Service brakes, Nov 2, 2015
BRAKES ARE VERY WEAK FOR BEING A LIGHT WEIGHT VEHICLE. STOPPING POWER IS VERY UNDERWHELMING. COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP EVEN AFTER CRUISING SPEEDS MAKES ME FEEL ANXIOUS...MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 10,066 MILES ON THE ODOMETER BUT THE BRAKING POWER FEELS VERY UNDERWHELMING FOR A FAIRLY NEW LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE.
Service brakes, Oct 26, 2015
FOUR MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE, THE BRAKES GO TO THE FLOOR AS IF BLEEDING AN OLD BRAKE SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS IN REVERSE OR GOING FORWARD. I HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES TO RISE THE PETAL UP. BRAKE PRESSURE IS ALWAYS LOW HAVING TO PRESS ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO STOP.

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE CRUISE CONTROL CUT OUT AND MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 45 MPH, THEN STARTED SLOWLY GAINING SPEED. AFTER WORK, I DROVE HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. NEXT DAY WAS FOGGY SO NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL. VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AGAIN FROM 60 MPH DOWN TO ABOUT 45 MPH. ALSO GOT NO RESPONSE WHEN DEPRESSING GAS PEDAL. THIS TIME THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON. DROVE HOME AFTER WORK WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAD GOTTEN THE OIL CHANGED THE DAY BEFORE THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED. I HAD NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THAT. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED ITSELF AS THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE NOW. IF IT OCCURS AGAIN, I'LL HAVE IT CHECKED OUT.

Steering, Electronic stability control (ESC), Service brakes, Jun 6, 2015
I HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AS DESCRIBED IN YOUR INVESTIGATION "PE14-014." IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A PAVED ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT WAS AS IF THE VEHICLE TOOK OVER THE STEERING, CAUSING ME TO HIT A CURB. NO DAMAGE WAS INCURRED, HOWEVER IT WAS VERY SCARY. MY CONCERN IS OBVIOUS, WHAT IF THE VEHICLE DOES THIS AGAIN WHEN I AM DRIVING ON A FREEWAY @ 65 MPH? THIS WAS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WHEN "THE VEHICLE" HIT THE CURB. THE ABILITY TO BE IN CONTROL OF THE STEERING HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS A NEW CAR AND I FIND IT EXTREMELY HARD TO BELIEVE I AM HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS. THESE ARE NOT EVERYDAY GENERAL MAINTENANCE ISSUES. THESE ARE MAJOR ISSUES WHICH COULD EASILY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEREBY I WOULD PROBABLY BE FOUND TO BE AT FAULT, WHEN THE REAL PERSON AT FAULT IS THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER! THIS IS BEING DOCUMENTED AND SAVED BY ME SHOULD, GOD FORBID, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS. ANY DIRECTION YOU MAY HAVE IS APPRECIATED.
