AT RANDOM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN . IT HAS STAYED ON UP TO 20 MILES AND AS LESS AS AROUND 5 MILES . A PART TO FIX IT WAS ORDERED AND INSTALLED BUT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE . WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER AND THEY REPROGRAMMED IT BUT THAT DIDN'T FIX IT . WE ASK 2 MORE TIMES FOR THEM TO CHECK IT STATING IT'S NOT SAFE . ONE DEALER SAID STOP AND CUT CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART . THE OTHER DEALER SAID WE WEREN'T SITTING FURTHER ENOUGH BACK IN THE SEAT FOR THE SENSOR AND TO RAISE UP AND SLIDE BACK . THE LIGHT ISSUE STILL ISN'T SOLVED . WE HAVE DEALERS RECEIPTS AND WE HAVE PICTURES WITH THE CAR IN MOTION SHOWING PASSENGERS LEGS , AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND SPEEDOMETER TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS . WE HAVE MULTIPLE PICTURES WITH DIFFERENT DATES . THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN MAY 2015 .

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING ON I-49 IN LOUISIANA TRAVELING AT 70 MPH WHEN I HEAR A LOUD NOISE, LIKE A GUNSHOT. I REALIZED MY SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. THE COVER WAS OPEN AT THE TIME SO GLASS FELL INTO MY CAR, AND IN MY LAP/HAIR. I DID GET A FEW CUTS ON MY HANDS FROM THE GLASS. I DON'T THINK ANYTHING HIT THE SUNROOF, IT SHATTERED SPONTANEOUSLY. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I HAVE TO GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO GET IT FIXED.

THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS BACK 1 SINGLE TIME. I PUT CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A SPACE. CAR REVERSED FINE. THEN I TRIED TO PUT IT INTO DRIVE BUT IT WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE, ONLY UP TO NEUTRAL. I TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND THE WAITING A MIN OR 2 AND TURNED IT BACK ON TO SEE IF IT WOULD GO TO DRIVE. IT WOULD NOT. IT WOULD ONLY MOVE IN REVERSE. I KEPT TRYING UNTIL ON ONE OF THOSE TRIES IT FINALLY WENT INTO DRIVE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET GOING AGAIN. THEN RECENTLY, I THINK, 8/2/17, WED, I WAS AT BANK PARKED. I PUT CAR ON REVERSE TO LEAVE BEC I HAD A FEW MORE ERRANDS TO DO,CAR WENT BACK FINE. THEN I TRIED TO PUT INTO DRIVE; IT WOULD NOT GO TO DRIVE. SAME THING HAPPENED. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE. IT STOPPED IN NEUTRAL AND THERE WERE MANY CARS TRYING TO GET PAST ME, AS I WAS BLOCKING THOSE COMING SOUTH AND THOSE GOING NORTH OF ME. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! SO I PUT IT BACK INTO REVERSE AND WENT BACK AS MUCH AS I SAFELY COULD IN ORDER TO CLEAR A WIDER SPACE TO SEE IF CARS COULD SQUEEZE PAST ME. THE WAITING CARS SQUEEZED THROUGH VERY UNSAFELY FOR THEM AND FOR ME. THEN I JUST KEPT TRYING BY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON A FEW MINS LATER. I KEPT TRYING TO PUT INTO DRIVE. IT WOULD GO TO NEUTRAL BUT NOT INTO DRIVE. UNTIL ONE TIME, WHEN IT DID AND I WAS ABLE TO GO TO MY NEXT STOP WHICH WAS WALGREENS.EXACT THING REOCCURRED; I REPEATED TRIES; FINALLY WENT INTO DRIVE. I PROCEEDED TO GO TO PUBLIX. SAME SENARIO HAPPENED. IT TOOK MANY TRIES.FINALLY WENT INTO DRIVE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. I GOT HOME. HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I REVERSED FROM BEING PARKED AT MY BLDG BLOCKING EVERYONE. A UPS TRUCK DRIVER ALSO BLOCKED. I ASKED FOR HIS HELP.HE MADE ATTEMPTS TO PUT INTO DR. FINALLY GOT IT. MOVED MY CAR OUT OF HARM'S WAY. NISSAN PAPER WORK IS DATED 8/4/17. IT MAY REPEAT IN A DANGEROUS PLACE. WAS CITY IN MOTION FROM PARKED.

REVVING OF THE ENGINE DUE TO MALFUNCTION OF THE TRANSMISSIONS, LOSS OF POWER TO THE DRIVE SHAFT CONSTANT SLIPPING OF THE TRANSMISSION, SOMETIMES LOSS OF POWER TO THE6 ENGINE . CALLED NISSAN USA TP WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH THE PROBLEM SINCE THEY ACKNOWLEDGED EARLIER MODEL HARD SIMILAR PROBLEM AND NISSAN EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY TO 10 YRS 120000 MILES. HOWEVER THEY DECLINE AN EXTENSION IN MY CASE, SAYI G THE PROBLEM OF THE CVT TYPE TRANSMMISSION HAS BEEN RESOLVED. HOWEVER THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE. L SEE NUMEROUS BLOG ONLINE COMPLAINING ABOUT THESE TYPE OF TRANSMMISSION-CVT ONES SIMILAR TO THE EARLIER MODEL WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY GIVEN.
