AIR BAGS
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON, 4000 MILES AFTER THE WARRANTEE EXPIRED. DEALER SAYS THAT IT COULD COST UP TO $1,000 TO TURN IT OFF/REPAIR SYSTEM. IF THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO REQUIRE THIS QUESTIONABLE EQUIPMENT ON A VEHICLE, THEY SHOULD ALSO ASSURE THAT IT FUNCTIONS PROPERLY AND CONTINUES TO FUNCTION AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO THE CONSUMER! NISSAN AIR BAGS ARE JUNK!

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR IT ONLY HAD 40000 MILES ON IT SO ALL THE INJECTORS ARE ORIGINAL. ALL OF THE INJECTORS ARE LEAKING GAS ALL OVER MY ENGINE. WE CONTACTED NISSAN BECAUSE THE FUEL INJECTORS ARE LISTED AS RECALLED ON YOUR WEBSITE BUT IT IS ONLY FOR THE 6 CYLINDER MODEL. I BELIEVE IT IS ALSO AFFECTING MY 4 CYLINDER AS WELL BECAUSE THEY SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUEL INJECTORS. IT SEEMS LIKE A STRANGE COINCIDENCE THAT MY FUEL INJECTORS ARE EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE 6 CYLINDER INJECTORS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
1) TAPPED ON BRAKE TO TAKE OUT OF GEAR AND STOP. CAME OUT OF GEAR, BUT CRUISE REMAINED ON AND ACCELERATOR STUCK. HAD TO STEP ON BRAKE HARD TO GET CRUISE OFF. 2) YESTERDAY, MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, EXCEPT THIS TIME TACHOMETER WENT UP TO AROUND 6. WAS VERY FRIGHTENING FOR HER. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME A FEW TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT AROUND 6-1-99. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED WHEN WE HAVE BEEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAYS, ONLY IN TOWN. THE FAILED COMPONENT/PART SECTION INDICATES THAT THERE WAS 22,000 INJURIES, THE SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED ON 6-1-99 AND THAT THERE WERE 35 FATALITIES. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I ENTERED THE INFORMATION CORRECTLY TWICE AND IT STILL KEEPS COMING UP INCORRECT IN THE CONFIRMATION AREA.
