ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
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.

STARTED TO NOTICE THAT WHEN I HAD A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WAS NOT ENGAGED. AFTER RESEARCHING YOUR SITE, I NOTICED A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AS IT SHOULD BE. THANK YOU.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
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.

AIR BAGS
AIRBAG PASSENGER LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY AND STAYS ON FROM SECONDS TO MINUTES. AT TIMES THE PASSENGER SEATBELT LIGHT COMES ON ALSO. IT WAS RESET BY NISSAN IN JANUARY AND ONLY HAPPENED ONE OR TWICE AFTER THEY SERVICED MY CAR. HAD MAINTENANCE/OIL CHANGE/TIRE ROTATION IN APRIL AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE SEEMS TO HAVE INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY. WILL HAVE IT SERVICED AGAIN THIS MONTH AND HAVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUED ADDRESSED AGAIN.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE REAR BRAKES STARTED TO MAKE GRINDING SOUND ONLY GOING 5MPH WITHOUT APPLYING ANY BRAKES. THE NOISE WAS VERY LOUD SO WE TOOK IT TO A CAR SHOP IMMEDIATELY FOR THEM TO INSPECT AND THEY FOUND THAT THE WHOLE DRIVER SIDE REAR DRUM BRAKES HAVE COMPLETELY CAME APART AS THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS CLOSE TO HAPPENING TO. THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS WOULD HAPPEN. WE THEN TOOK CAR TO NISSAN DEALER FOR THEM TO INSPECT AND FOR WARRANTY POSSIBILITIES AND THEY CAME BACK SAYING THIS IS. NOT COVERED AS THEY SAY THIS IS. OT A DEFECT AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY CLAIMS REGARDING THIS KIND OF ISSUE AND DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE CAR WAS DRIVING WITH E BRAKE ON BUT OUR MPG HASN'T CHANGED IN ANYWAY. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING ESPECIALLY FOR LESS THAN 1 YR OLD CAR.

SERVICE BRAKES
I NOTICED SINCE OCTOBER OF 2014 THAT WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES IN THE CAR, THEY PULSATED UNDER MY FOOT. (THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN APRIL 2014) IT DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT I WAS PUZZLED...IT CONTINUED OFF AND ON FOR MONTHS AND EVENTUALLY I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FIXED IT AND RETURNED IT TO ME. I READ THE RECEIPT AND NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS AS FOLLOWS: FRONT PADS COMING APART INTERNALLY CAUSING THE ROTORS TO BECOME WARPED; AND BOTH REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS COMING APART INTERNALLY. I WAS PRETTY SHOCKED AT THIS, AND 3 DAYS AFTER BEING REPAIRED I NOTICED THE SAME PULSING AGAIN AND TOOK THE CAR BACK. THEY KEPT IT FOR A FULL WEEK, AND TOLD ME THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I CALLED THE NISSAN CORPORATION AND ADVISED THEM I DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE ITS UNSAFE. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD REVIEW MY REQUEST, AND THEN ADVISED ME THAT THEY WILL NOT BE REPURCHASING OR TAKING THE CAR BACK. IN THE MEANTIME, I DRIVE THIS CAR WITH GREAT FEAR AND CARE AS THE PULSING IS MORE FREQUENT, ESPECIALLY IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED SLOWLY, THE PULSING HAPPENS JARRINGLY AT THE END OF THE BRAKING. ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS I SPOKE TO TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD AN INTERNAL NOTICE FOR THIS MODEL , BUT ONLY IF A CUSTOMER BROUGHT IT IN. I FEEL THAT TAKING IT BACK TO NISSAN AGAIN IS GOING TO GET ME NOWHERE AND THAT THEY WILL ONCE MORE DECIDE NOTHING IS WRONG. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE IS FINANCED BY NISSAN, AND THIS MONTH I DID NOT PAY FOR THE VEHICLE AND I AM SURPRISED AND PUZZLED AS TO WHY NO ONE FROM NISSAN HAS CALLED TO ASK FOR PAYMENT. WHAT CAN I DO NOW? I AM AFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING THIS CAR. THANK YOU *TR

AIR BAGS
SOMETIMES WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS EMPTY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS TURNED OFF. WHEN A PASSENGER THEN ENTERS THE CAR IT DOES NOT TURN THE AIRBAG ON. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THIS IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE PASSENGER ENTERS THE CAR WHILE IT IS STILL RUNNING. IF YOU START THE CAR WITH THE PASSENGER ALREADY IN THE SEAT THE SYSTEM WORKS PROPERLY. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERYDAY. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS KNOWN ISSUE BUT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY CAR IS NOT ON THAT RECALL. *TR
