AIR BAGS
The airbag light is flashing and I have had it checked with a dealer-level scan tool, but it has no codes. I have deduced that there is an issue with one of the weight sensors under the passenger seat and it is not sending a signal. I have confirmed this by noting that the Airbag Off light is luminated when I am sitting in the seat or driving with an adult passenger, so basically it is not sensing that the seat is occupied and therefore the passenger airbag would not go off in a crash even though the seat IS occupied. Is that something that a warranty or a recall should cover, since it is a safety concern involving the airbag system?

I was hit while driving by another vehicle going 65 miles per hour. He hit me on the passenger side. Upon impact, all the airbags exploded shattering in thousands of pieces hitting me like shrapnels in my eyes, face, hands, neck, lungs. I was temporarily blinded, so I hit another car. I spent 10 days in the hospital. I have problems in my lungs, my eyes, lost my teeth, and I am scared for life.

AIR BAGS
We have a fleet of eighteen NV200s. The one that was listed was just repaired on 11/20/23. It had issues with the occupant air bag system. The issues with the air bag system are happening in other NV200s that we own. I believe there is a defect in these vans that could lead to them not operate as designed, causing injury or death. The other air bag issues we have had in the NV200s, not including the one in this report, happened on 5/18/23, 5/19/23, 9/28/23, and in 10/20/21. I have the invoices for all repairs of each of these vans if needed.

My passenger airbag warning light stays on even if someone is sitting in the seat and my airbag warning light on dash stays on. I ve had diagnostics run on vehicle and there are no codes. They don’t know what to fix to clear the lights. I can’t get my car inspected with the lights on so now I can’t drive it. There is a recall on this specific thing but Nissan says not for my van. Reference #NTB16-054 CAMPAIGNID#: R1607 NHTSA # 16V-244 It specifically states 2013-2016 nv200

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Vehicle keeps running out of gas, but the dash states there is a certain amount of gas before empty. Vehicle cutting off on express way is not safe. Recently found out that Nissan has a service bulletin about this issue.

AIR BAGS
we own a Nissan NV 200 that was getting an air bag error light on the dashboard. We took it to a local nissan dealership in Dayton NJ who said the airbag sensor under the passenger front seat was damaged and the seat will get stuck because since it came loose from it support it looks like it got stuck int he seats track. Nissan is saying the driver did this but it is protected by a drawer and two other sensor which are under the seat and would have also been damaged if this were the case. This is clearly a safety issue as now none of the airbags work and the driver can not safely drive the vehicle

POWER TRAIN
The vehicle safety switch is bad and Nissan dealers will not sell the part unless you buy the entire transmission. I bought this transmission in Nov 2020 from Nissan Dealer and the part is malfunction allowing it to start in all gears. The warranty on the transmission is 12,000 miles or 12 months. At this point, I am forced to drive this vehicle which can make it hazardous. Nissan is insistent that will not sell the part unless I buy a whole new transmission. How can that be?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
1. On September 9, 2021, my 2016 NV 200 suddenly and unexpectedly broke down in Gila Bend AZ on a trip from the Bay Area to Austin to visit my grandchild. After refueling and pulling back onto the road towards the Interstate 8 on-ramp, the vehicle suddenly died. It was extremely difficult to steer it towards the side of the road and the ignition was inoperable. 2. I was unable to get the vehicle completely off the road and semi's were honking at me because I was dangerously in their path. There could easily have been a collision. I called 911 and the Arizona State Troopers pushed it all the way onto the shoulder. I then had it towed to the Tempe Nissan dealership 3. The problem was diagnosed by Tempe Nissan. It appeared that the cause of the breakdown was a blown fuel pump fuse. They also replaced the battery. They attempted to do a wheel alignment but could not because the inner tie rod was bent so they also replaced the steering rack to bring the alignment back to factory specs. 4. It appears that the fuses and perhaps the fuel pump are defective, and that the locked steering led to the additional issues of the bent tie rod, steering rack and alignment, resulting in an unsafe and undrivable vehicle. 5. The vehicle and component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. The vehicle is routinely inspected by my regular mechanic on pre & post trip checks. 6. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The vehicle has had zero issues prior to this failure. 7. The vehicle and components are available for inspection upon request. 8. For a vehicle that is less than 5 years old to suddenly and unexpectedly become inoperable resulted in a frightening and potentially fatal incident for which Nissan is responsible.

My passenger airbag light has been on ever since I've owned this vehicle starting January of 2019. I see there has been an open recall on this since May of 2016, which means it hasn't been solved in over 5 years. I feel less comfortable about driving my partner around in my van knowing her airbag may not go off in the event of an accident.

OUR COMPANY HAS A 2018 NV 200, A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE WITH 100,000 MILE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER COMMERCIAL NISSAN WARRANTY. THERE ARE ABOUT 58,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. ON JANUARY, 26, 2021 WHILE DRIVING ON A SMALL RESIDENTIAL ROAD AT 5 MILES AN HOUR, THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN DEPLOYED. THE TRUCK DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AT ALL. OUR TECHNICIAN SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN WENT OFF. HE COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, HE CERTAINLY WOULD'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, POSSIBLY FATAL. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WORK WITH NISSAN TO HAVE THEM SIMPLY GIVE US A LOANER TRUCK FOR THE EIGHT WEEKS THAT WILL BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DO A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION. I'M NOT TRYING TO CAUSE THEM TROUBLE BUT THEY TOLD ME I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF ANY LOANER TRUCK!!!!!!!. THIS IS THE WORST HANDLING OF A HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE SITUATION (NO PUN INTENDED) THAT I CAN IMAGINE. THEY ALSO SAID IT'S UP TO THEIR DISCRETION TO DECIDE IF I WOULD GET REIMBURSED. FURTHERMORE, THEY SAID I MAY BE SUBJECT TO STORAGE CHARGES AT THE LOCAL DEALER UNTIL THIS IS SETTLED. IS THIS INCREDIBLE? DAKOTA FROM THEIR ARBITRATION GROUP HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO ME. NO PERSON COULD HAVE LESS SKILLS GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THIS INCIDENT. I ASKED FOR JUST TWO THINGS: A LOANER TRUCK AND COMMITMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY DEFECTS BE NOT HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC. DISGRACEFUL. WHO IS SAFE IN THEIR VEHICLES????? HERE'S THE WORST PART. WHEN I TOLD THEM I DEMANDED A LOANER VEHICLE, THEY SAID THE CASE WAS CLOSED!!!!!, MR/MRS DAKOTA CALLED THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM THE CASE WAS CLOSED AND SETTLED. THEY WANT TO BURY IT. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED

2015 NISSAN NV200 SV 78,000 MILES. DRIVER HAD MOVED VEHICLE INTO GARAGE, PARKED VEHICLE WITH A SLIGHT ANGLE TO THE STEERING. DRIVER COULD NOT REMEMBER IF VEHICLE WAS RUNNING OR KEY IN IGNITION IN 'ON' POSITION. WEATHER STRIPPING ON DRIVER'S DOOR WAS LOOSE AND PREVENTING DOOR FROM LATCHING CORRECTLY SO THAT MORE FORCE THAN USUAL WAS REQUIRED TO CLOSE AND LATCH DOOR.

NISSAN WAS NOT INTERESTED IN INSPECTING THE VEHICLE WITHIN A TIMELY MANNER SO VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BODY SHOP FOR INSPECTION BY INDEPENDENT 3RD PARTY AND GET REPAIRS DONE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
1) SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE VIEW. AT NIGHT, MULTIPLE IMAGES OF HEADLIGHTS MAKE IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE WHERE OTHER VEHICLES ARE LOCATED. 2) SUN VISOR IS TOO SHORT TO BLOCK SUN FROM DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW EVEN WITH THE SEAT PULLED ALL THE WAY FORWARD. (I TRIED MAKING ADJUSTMENTS AND THEN THOUGHT I MIGHT GET USED TO IT BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR SIX MONTHS THESE DEFICIENCIES CONTINUE TO BE A HAZARD.)

VEHICLE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT POSTED SPEED LIMIT WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND. THE HOOD CAME OPEN AND SMASHED THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. GLASS ALL OVER ME AND THE DASHBOARD. WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHERE I WAS ABLE TO BE TOWED TO CLASSIC COLLISION IN EDGEWATER MD. IT SEEMS THAT THE LATCH FAILED AND THE SECONDARY SAFETY LATCH ALSO FAILED.
