SEAT BELTS
THE SEATBELT WAS ABLE TO EASILY BECOME DISENGATED BY HARDLY TOUCHING THE RELEASE. THERE WAS AN AUTO ACCIDENT THAT RESULTED IN THE PARALYSIS AND EVENTUAL DEATH OF THE DRIVER. THE DRIVER WAS T-BONED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A GREEN LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS CITED FOR EXCESSIVE SPEED AND FAILURE TO KEEP A PROPER LOOKOUT. IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT HIS FOREARM BRUSHED THE RELEASE ON THE SEATBELT AND CAUSED THE SEATBELT TO DISCHARGE AT THE TIME OF IMPACT. I HAVE A VIDEO BETTER CONVEYING THIS, BUT IT IS COMPRISES TOO MUCH DATA TO UPLOAD ON THIS FORM. UPDATED 10/19/17 *BF UPDATED 7/26/18*JB .. *TR

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL. I WAS TRAVELING ON US 77 IN VIRGINA WHEN THE TRAFFIC CAN TO A STOP DUE TO A MERGING ARROW. I MERGED AND STOP. I WAS REAR ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME AS IT DID NOT STOP. MY CAR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND THEN ROLLED OVER. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ANYWHERE IN THE CAR. I BELIEVE THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENABLED AFTER HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I BELIEVE THE SIDE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENABLED WHEN THE CAR FLIPPED OVER. *BF *CN *JS *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE TAKEN MY BRAND NEW NISSAN TO THE DEALER 6 TIMES NOW. BREAKS KEEP MAKING A NOISE LIKE A TAPPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. THE LAST TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND PICKED IT UP AFTER A WEEK THE BREAKS ARE SCREECHING TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT DRIVE. NISSAN DEALER AND NISSAN FACTORY ARE CLAIMING THIS IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.

THE CAR VEERS OFF AND HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN FREQUENTLY AND FEELS AS IF IT IS BEING PULLED BY WIND. THIS IS UNSAFE AND CAUSES CONTROLLING THE CAR TO BE A PROBLEM. THIS BEGAN AT FIRST IN EARLY 2017 AND IS NOW A REGULAR OCCURANCE

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE CAR WHEN FILLING IT WITH GASOLINE. THE GAS NOZZLE HAS BEEN EJECTED FROM THE CAR DURING FILLING. TYPICALLY THE GASOLINE PUMP WILL STOP DISPENSING GASOLINE WHEN THE NOZZLE IS EJECTED. HOWEVER, THERE WAS ONE INCIDENT WHEN THE NOZZLE CONTINUED DISPENSING GASOLINE WHILE THE NOZZLE WAS LAYING ON THE GROUND. I HAD TO QUICKLY PICK UP THE NOZZLE AND TURN IT OFF. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME I FILL THE CAR WITH GASOLINE, BUT I FEEL THAT THERE IS A RECURRING ISSUES HERE AND IT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BECAUSE OF THE RISK AND HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH SPILLED GASOLINE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I RENTED A NISSAN VERSA AND WAS DRIVING AT DUSK. I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT I HAD NOT TURNED ON THE DRIVING LIGHTS UNTIL IT WAS QUITE DARK. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OFF, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS LOOK LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH THE LIGHTS ON... I.E., THE INTERIOR IS FULLY LIT UP. THE DRIVING INSTRUMENTS ARE LIT UP. EVERYTHING LOOKS NORMAL FOR NIGHTTIME DRIVING.... EXCEPT THAT WHEN I PULLED OVER, I SEE THAT THE EXTERIOR HAS NO LIGHTS ON WHATSOEVER. TO BE CLEAR, THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING FINE. IF YOU TURN THEM ON, THEY COME ON. BUT IT'S VERY DANGEROUS THAT THE CAR SOMEHOW ALWAYS HAS THE INTERIOR LIGHTED, OR PERHAPS IT HAPPENS WITH A LIGHT SENSOR, LEADING YOU TO NOT REALIZE YOU HAVE NOT TURNED ON THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ACCELERATION DELAY WITH MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 2016 NISSAN VERSA NOTE. PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS THE INITIAL PRESSING OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS A DELAYED RESPONSE, SOMETIMES FOR 3 SECONDS OR MORE. TO COMPENSATE FOR THE DELAY I PRESS HEAVY ON THE PEDAL RESULTING IN A SUDDEN SURGE WHEN IT FINALLY KICKS IN. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO PRESENT A DANGER WHEN DRIVING.
