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.

Air bags, Dec 7, 2019
AIRBAG SIGN IS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD 6 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE. CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY DENIED THE REQUEST TO FIX THE RECALL FOR THIS AIRBAG ISSUE. AIRBAGS MAY NOT BE DEPLOYED IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE.

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.

MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA ENGINE CUTS OFF WHILE IN DRIVING GEAR FOR NO REASON AT ALL AND THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF WHILE TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.
Power train, Nov 18, 2019
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).
Other or unspecified, Oct 21, 2019
CAR'S TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN MARCH OF 2018. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS REPLACED, THE FIRST TIME, IS NO LONGER COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I EXPRESSED CONCERNS THAT NO VEHICLE WHICH IS SERVICED REGULARLY SHOULD REQUIRE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION IN A YEAR AND A HALF.

Engine, Oct 5, 2019
I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE GAS PETAL TO DRIVE AND MY CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN AND IT JUST CUT OFF AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR TO MAKE IT HOME. ALSO WHILE DRIVING I COULD FEEL THE CAR SHAKING OR VIBRATING, EVEN WHEN I SLOWED DOWN OR CAME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT IT WAS SHAKING/VIBRATING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS. I DID HAVE MY CAR SERVICED LAST MONTH AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND WASN'T SURE WHY THE LIGHT WAS ON. IT HAS BEEN A MONTH AND MY ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I WORRY WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF MY CAR IS GOING TO CUT OFF AGAIN WHILE I'M DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, I ALSO WORRY EVERY TIME I FEEL IT SHAKE/VIBRATE THINKING ITS GOING TO CUT OFF. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND WORRISOME. I HOPE THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED- NOT A HAPPY NISSAN OWNER RIGHT NOW.

I PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA AND WITHIN 6 MONTHS THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY WENT OUT. IT STARTED ACTING FUNNY ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN TO AN APPT. AND WITHIN 2 HOURS EXITED THE INTERSTATE AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE OFF THE RAMP DUE TO TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED NO RAVING OR RPM MOVEMENT NOTHING. FINALLY I SHUT HER OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES RESTARTED PUT HER IN DRIVE AND SHE JERKED AND LUNGED ACROSS INTERSECTION. SHE THEN THREW THE ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. PRIOR TO STOPPING AND LUNGING NOT SO MUCH AS A LIGHT HAD COME ON. THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT HAD GOTTEN BAD GAS A TIME OR TWO BUT OTHERWISE NO WARNING OR ANYTHING PRIOR.
