POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT THIS USED CAR WITH 25 THOUSAND MILES ON IT, BUT THE TRANSMISSION NEVER WORKED. IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO DO IT, THEREFORE I THINK I HAVE TO BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION. IT IS A CVT. I WANT TO KNOW WHERE CAN I BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION FROM NISSSAN WITH SOME KIND OF DISCOUNT, ACTUALLY I AM LIVING IN GUATEMALA. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IT WAS STATIONARY. SO THANKFUL FOR YOUR ADVICE AND HELP.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN, IT SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING OR NOISE LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION. NO LIGHTS CAME ON AT THAT POINT. RESTARTED CAR, DROVE HOME. I COULD FEEL ACCELERATION HESITATION IN THE GAS PEDAL. NEXT MORNING I STARTED CAR, NOW HAS ENGINE LIGHT ON. I DROVE TO WORK, IT REPEATED THE BEHAVIOR ONCE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE COMPUTER CODE P2138. THE CAR STALLS EVERYDAY THE FIRST TIME IT IS DRIVEN AND I CAN FEEL THE HESITATION EVERYTIME. AFTER THE INITAL STALL, IT DRIVES FINE THE REST OF THE DAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. I DID UNPLUG THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR TO AIR BLOW OFF ANY DUST. IT CONTINUES TO BEHAVE THE SAME WHETHER COMING OUT OF A STOP POSITION OR DRIVING ON THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS. WILL BE TAKING IT TO NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE RECALLS CHECKED AND WILL ASK ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL. I WENT ON THIS SITE AND SAW THAT OTHER NISSANS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE OVER THE YEARS.

"TAKATA RECALL" TOOK IN FOR SERVICE/REPAIR AND NOW WARNING LIGHT IS ON. HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES TO BRING CAR INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXED REGARDING THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. I HAVE HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY ISSUES UP UNTIL BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR FOR THE RECALL ON THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. UPON TAKING CAR TO STEVENS CREEK NISSAN WORKORDER 170159 JULY 11, 2018, MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME AFTER WHAT WAS NOTED ON THE WORK ORDER AS REMOVE AND REPLACE AIR BAG INFLATOR, CAMPAIGN PM685 VERSA HATCHBACK. MY CAR IS A 4 DOOR SEDAN, NOT A HATCHBACK. UPON DRIVING OFF WITH MY CAR THE WARNING LIGHT "AIRBAG" IS NO FLASHING AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THIS INDICATES SOMETHING WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY AND NOW NISSAN REFUSES TO CORRECT THEIR ERROR UNLESS I PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A DIEANOSTIC PLUS REPAIR FEES AND LABOR. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WHATSOEVER WITH MY CAR UNTIL TAKING IT INTO STEVENS CREEK NISSAN TO HAVE A RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS ADDRESSED. BEFORE I SEEK ANY LEGAL ACTION I WANTED TO REACH OUT TO YOU FOR SOME ASSISTANCE. HOW SAFE AM I DRIVING MY CAR WITH THIS WARNING LIGHT "AIRBAG" ? WHY WOULD A RECALL ON THE TAKATA AIRBAGS CAUSE A ISSUE AFTER THEY WERE ADDRESSED/FIXED BY NISSAN STEVENS CREEK? AM I TO BE KILLED ON THE ROAD OR WORSE BEFORE NISSAN/TAKATA WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A RECALL, FIX, ERROR?

BETWEEN NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL AND THEN THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG, THIS PROCESS HAS BEEN UNREASONABLY LONG AND REQUIRED FAR TOO MUCH EFFORT ON MY PART TO RESOLVE. AT EVERY STEP THIS HAS REQUIRED FAR TOO MUCH OF MY PERSONAL ATTENTION AND TIME. THE ONLY WAY I'VE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THIS RECALL PROCESS WORK FOR ME IS BY SETTING UP A GOOGLE ALERT ABOUT NISSAN RECALLS TO REMIND ME TO CALL THEM PERIODICALLY. OTHERWISE THEY WOULD NEVER INFORM ME ABOUT ANY DEVELOPMENTS WITH THIS RECALL. WHEN I FINALLY CALLED THEM AGAIN THEY REQUIRED FAR TOO MUCH INFORMATION FROM ME JUST TO GIVE ME INFORMATION ABOUT THE RECALL. IT'S LIKE THEY JUST WANT TO PUT SO MANY ROADBLOCKS ON THIS PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT MOST PEOPLE JUST GIVE UP AND DRIVE UNSAFE CARS INSTEAD OF GETTING THEM FIXED. AND THAT'S AT EACH STEP. I GIVE ALL THIS INFORMATION WHEN I TALK TO ONE PERSON THEN I TALK TO SOMEONE ELSE AND HAVE TO GIVE THEM THE SAME INFORMATION AND THEN THE NEXT AND SO ON. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH TIME THIS PROCESS WASTES. AND FINALLY THE DEALERSHIP IS READY TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL AND HAPPY THAT THE PROCESS IS FINALLY OVER BUT THEY TELL ME THAT THEY'VE HAD THE PARTS SINCE FEBRUARY AND ASK WHAT MY PROBLEM IS GETTING THIS FIXED. FEBRUARY. THEY DIDN'T SEND ME ANY NOTICE ABOUT THIS AND THE RECALL HASN'T BEEN UPDATED TO SHOW THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, AND IT'S MY FAULT SOMEHOW? NISSAN HAS TO BE HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS INEFFICIENT AND WASTEFUL PROCESS. I DON'T IMAGINE MOST PEOPLE WOULD STICK THROUGH THIS PROCESS THE WAY I HAVE AND THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD END UP SIMPLY NOT GETTING THEIR CAR'S FIXED. THERE WILL ONLY BE MORE AND MORE CASUALTIES IF NISSAN ISN'T FORCED TO MAKE THEIR RECALL PROCESS REASONABLE AND SANE.
