HAD RECALL FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT PERFORMED IN JUNE. HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF THE PASS AIRBAG LIGHT TURNING ON WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT SINCE THE RECALL. THE LATEST HAPPENED YESTERDAY WITH MY WIFE SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. ITS BEGINNING TO CONCERN ME THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. JUDGING BY THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIX. NHTSA NEEDS TO REOPEN AN INVESTIGATION FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

THIS IS THE 4TH TIME I HAVE HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT THE INCONSISTENT AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE COME ON AND COME OFF. THEY HAVE CHANGED SENSORS AND TODAY TOLD ME THAT IF I SIT ON THE EDGE OF ONE SIDE OF THE SEAT THE SENSOR LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE AIRBAG WILL NOT BE ENGAGED. SOMETIMES IT LASTS A MINUTE (S) AND THIS WEEK IT LASTED 50 MINUTES WITH LIGHT ON GOING ON INTERSTATE 95. COMING HOME THE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THE NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 HAS MANY COMPLAINTS AND THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THE ABOVE FACTS WERE NORMAL AND HIS DOES IT ALSO AND HE HAS A 2012. SO...........I GUESS HE DOES NOT MIND DRIVING AROUND KNOWING THAT HIS LIFE IS IN JEOPARDY WITH THE LIGHT ON - HOWEVER, I DO BUT FEEL THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO CLUE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS EVEN THOUGH MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN LODGED. I AM WAITING FOR A REPLY FROM NHTSA AND THEN WILL JUMP OVER THE DEALERSHIP AND GO TO THE REGIONAL DIVISION OF NISSAN TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR. * PLEASE NOTE: THE TECH I TALKED TODAY DID NOT INDICATE ON THE PRINTOUT MY TOTAL PROBLEM JUST THAT A SENSOR WAS REPLACED. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON FRIDAY 14, 2014 APPROXIMATELY8:33 P.M. I WAS DRIVING DOWN N. TYRON ST IN CHARLOTTE, NC IN TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY DUE TO THE KEY NOT BEING DETECTED. THE KEY WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND THEN A LADY MISS HITTING ME IN THE REAR BY A INCH; DUE TO MY CAR JUST CUTTING OFF INDICATING MY KEY WAS NOT IN THE CAR. I TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP WHEN I PRESS THE START KEY AND THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME TIME; IT WILL SAY THE KEY IS NOT BEING DETECTED. WHEN I PRESS THE AUTOMATIC START BUTTON ON THE KEY, THE CAR WOULD START UP BUT WHEN I PRESS THE START BUTTON AND THE BRAKE TOGETHER IT CUT OFF AND THE SAY THING COMES UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THEN ONCE IT DID CUT ON WHEN I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE THE CUTS OFF AND SAYS THE KEY IS NOT BEING DETECTED. THIS A SAFETY ISSUES AND VERY DANGEROUS, IF THE LADY BEHIND ME WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION IT WOULD OF BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT. I DON'T TRUST MY CAR AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING AND DID NOT ASSIST ME UNTIL THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY 19,2014 AND I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR SINCE. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE OR CONCERN ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS WELL-BEING AT ALL. IT BEEN 12 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OF ANY OF THEM BY CAPITAL NISSAN OF WILMINGTON OR THE REGIONAL OFFICE. *TR

WHENEVER MY WIFE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UP FRONT THE "AIR BAG OFF" INDICATOR LIGHTS UP. SHE WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 105 POUNDS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN DEALERS, NISSAN REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE AND NISSAN USA IN FRANKLIN, TN ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF NOT HAVING AIR BAG PROTECTION FOR MY WIFE WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THEY ALL SAY THE VEHICLE IS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NISSAN HAS NO FIX FOR IT. MY COMPLAINTS TO THEM FALL ON DEAF EARS. THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE IN OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES AND IT IS A LIGHTWEIGHT PERSON PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT JUST BECAUSE MY WIFE IS SMALL THAT DOES NOT ELIMINATE HER FROM THE NEED FOR PROTECTION. WHAT ABOUT OTHER SMALL PEOPLE? I BELIEVE NISSAN IS AVOIDING A RECALL AT THE EXPENSE OF PEOPLE LIKE US. CAN THE NHTSA DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? FOR YOUR INFORMATION, MY COMPLAINT TO NISSAN IS CASE NUMBER IS [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE A NEW 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA SL V6 I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS NEW CAR. BLIND SIDE WARNING, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYED ON ONE TIME. MY CAR WOULDN'T START UP SEVERAL TIMES AFTER WALKING UP TO THE CAR AND PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR. THE KEY WOULDN'T UNLOCK THE DOORS, IT WOULDN'T AUTO START THE CAR. I HAD TO WAIT TO GET IN MY CAR, I ACTUALLY HAD TO STICK MY KEY IN THE DOOR TO GET IN THE CAR. WHEN I DID FINALLY GET IN THE CAR AND TRY TO START IT NOTHING HAPPENED, IT SAID NO KEY THIS IS DANGEROUS I AM A FEMALE GOD FORBIDS SOMEBODY TRIES TO RAPE OR KILL ME AND I AM NOT ABLE TO GET AWAY IN MY NEW CAR THAT I PAY ALL THIS MONEY FOR EVERY MONTH. THE DASHBOARD SAYS: KEY NOT DETECTED OR NO KEY, OR INCORRECT KEY ID. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP AND THEY STILL DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. I'VE RECENTLY WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER HOPING THEY CAN WORK ON MY CAR AND GET ME THE RESULTS I'M LOOKING FOR... I COMPLETELY HATE THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN N THE SHOP MORE TIMES THAN MY LAST CAR. ALL THEY KEPT SAYING WAS MORE COMPUTER PROBLEMS. I GOT MY CAR 12/2012 AND MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OVER 20 TIMES WITH LOTS OF ISSUES. I'M STILL WITHIN MY 36000 WARRANTY. I ALSO HEAR A CLICKING NOISE IN THE FRONT TIRE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED SOME BOLTS AND GREASED IT AS WELL. THEY SAID IT NEEDED GREASE.. THE NOISE HAS CAME BACK ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER!! ITS TIME CONSUMING TO KEEP GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET REPAIRS!! BUT I HAVE TO DO IT. I HAD THE RECALL FOR AIR BAGS BUT IT STILL DIDN'T REGISTER AN ADULT WHO SAT IN THE FRONT SEAT WHO WEIGHED ABOUT 103 LBS. SO HIS AIR BAG WOULDN'T DEPLOY IF WE GOT IN AN ACCIDENT. THAT ISN'T SAFE AT ALL.. PLS FIX AND CHANGE THAT FEATURE FOR THE SAKE OF SMALLER ADULTS. NISSAN SHOULDN'T RESTRICT THE WEIGHT OF A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER.. ALL THESE PROBLEMS.... I WILL BE OPENING UP A LEMON LAW CASE!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!! *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HOOD SLAMMED UP INTO MY WINDSHIELD BLOCKING MY VIEW OF SIGHT WHILE I WAS GOING 60 MPH. THE LIGHT ON THE CEILING CAME OUT OF THE HOUSING AND HIT ME ON THE HEAD. IT FELT LIKE A BOULDER LANDED ON MY CAR. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO SWERVE SAFELY TWO LANES OVER TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. I THEN EXAMINED THE DAMAGE AND THE HOOD WAS ALL DENTED UP, THE STEEL ON THE FENDERS WAS ALL TORN, AND THE ROOF HAD MAJOR DENTS. I WAS ABLE TO SLAM THE HOOD SHUT, GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND TOOK LOCAL ROADS TO MY DESTINATION. I WAS VERY SHOOK UP BY THE INCIDENT, AND LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I FOUND OUT THAT MORNING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OUT BY NISSAN FOR THE HOOD LATCH (NHTSA CAMPAIGN 14V565000) THAT OPENED ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2014 (APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AND A HALF PRIOR TO MY INCIDENT). TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, MY CAR WAS IN THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON OCTOBER 17, 2014 AND NO ONE MENTIONED THE RECALL TO ME AT THAT TIME EITHER. THAT TIME WAS THE LAST TIME THE HOOD WAS OPENED PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT OCCURRING. IT IS BLATANTLY CLEAR THAT NISSAN IS AT FAULT WITH THIS ACCIDENT, THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE 5 TIMES AND HAVE STILL HAD NO RESOLUTION AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME A SPECIALIST IS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME BY THE END OF THE DAY 3 TIMES. I WAS EVEN GIVEN THE INDIVIDUAL'S CONTACT INFORMATION DURING THE 4TH CALL, AND HE FAILS TO REPORT MY CALLS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO TO TRY AND RESOLVE MY ISSUE. I NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP, PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME! *TR

THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THE CAR FOR THE HOOD LATCH. APPARENTLY, ALL THAT IS DONE IS THEY BEND THE HOOD LATCH. THEREFORE, THERE IS NO MONEY IN IT FOR THE DEALERS AND I CAN'T FIND ONE THAT WILL PERFORM THE WORK. ONE, AUTONATION NISSAN, SAID THEY WOULD DO IT BUT ONLY IF I SCHEDULED OTHER WORK AT THE SAME TIME. I CONTACTED NISSAN, BUT THEY REFUSED TO GET INVOLVED. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION, STEERING
WHEN I TEST DROVE AND PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, EVERYTHING SEEMED GREAT. IT WAS A VERY SHORT TEST DRIVE THOUGH. NOT EVEN 1MONTH AFTER BUYING THE CAR, I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT. I NOTICED THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING TO BE NOT AS TIGHT OR RESPONSIVE (DIMINISHED) AND ALSO NOTICE A LOT OF WANDER IN THE FONT END AND UNDERSTEER/OVERSTEER. ALONG WITH THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING PROBLEMS CAME THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTER. AT LOWER SPEED ACCELERATION (APPROX. 25-40MPH), THERE IS A SHUTTER OR JUMPY FEELING. TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND HAS YET TO BE DONE. MY SERVICE TECH HAS BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE ALL THE PROBLEMS, BUT NISSAN TECH LINE REFUSES TO FIX ANYTHING BECAUSE "IT IS UP TO NISSAN STANDARDS". IN ORDER FOR THEM TO EVEN BEGIN TO REPLACE OR WORK ON ANYTHING, IT HAS TO MEET CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES (BASICALLY JUMP THROUGH HOOPS), EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND HAS BEEN DUPLICATED BY ONE OF THEIR OWN TECHS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE BBB AND HAVE STARTED ARBITRATION TO GET THIS MATTER RESOLVED. THIS ENTIRE ORDEAL HAS COST ME TIME OFF WORK AND ABOUT A TOTAL OF 4WEEKS WITHOUT MY CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2013 ALTIMA THAT WAS PART OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL I NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES THE AIRBAG STILL SHOWS TO BE OFF WHEN MY WIFE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PASSENGER NEEDS TO WEIGH 115 LBS. MY WIFE BORDERLINES THAT WEIGHT. HOWEVER, IF THE LAW STATES THAT A PASSENGER MUST WEIGH 80 LBS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT OF A VEHICLE, THE 115 WEIGHT SET BY NISSAN GIVES ME REASON FOR CONCERN.

I HAVE A VEHICLE WITH AN INTERMITTENT PASSENGER AIRBAG CIRCUIT PROBLEM. IT WILL ILLUSTRATE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT ANYTIME FROM STARTUP TO 20 MILES LATER. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES EVEN AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. NISSAN HAS NOW INFORMED US TO WAIT 30 SECONDS AFTER STARTING BEFORE ENGAGING THE TRANSMISSION OR STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR THAT REQUIRED ME TO TURN OFF THE INTERSTATE TO RESTART THE CAR. NISSAN IS NOW REFUSING TO REPAIR THE CAR. *TR
