SEAT BELTS
WHEN DRIVING PASSENGER SEAT BELT RANDOMLY DISENGAGES FROM LOCK. I WILL EVEN MAKE SURE IT IS FULLY ENGAGED BEFORE TAKING OFF BY PULLING ON THE BELT AND IT WILL STILL RANDOMLY BECOME UNLOCKED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW AND IT IS SLOWLY BECOMING MORE CONSISTENT. NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE AND LOCK APPEARS TO BE CLEANED AND IN GOOD SHAPE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT NIGHT WHEN A CAR WITH LIGHTS AS BRIGHT AS A FOOTBALL STADIUM CAME UP BEHIND ME. I COULD NO LONGER SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OFF THE ROAD UNTIL THE CAR WENT AROUND ME. THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT WITH POSSIBLE DEATHS.

AIR BAGS
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.

WHILE DRIVING DURING THE DAY (IT WAS OVER 95 DEGREES), ALL OF SUDDEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, THE BRAKE PEDAL LOCKED UP, THE GAS PEDAL DIDN'T WORK, AND THE POWER STEERING WASN'T WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL IT OVER. I TURNED IT OFF AND ON TWICE, AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. I'M TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO BE CHECKED OUT (THE NEXT DAY).

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I DRIVE A 2013 NISSAN VERSA. I'VE HAD IT ABOUT 4 YEARS, THE CAR HAS ABOUT 40,000 MILES. RECENTLY, MY CAR STARTED SHUTTERING (VIBRATING) AS I ACCELERATE. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE (THIRD TIME WILL BE EITHER TOMORROW OR TUESDAY) AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS DANGEROUS OR NOT AND NOT ONLY DO I DEPEND ON THIS CAR, BUT I DRIVE AN 82 YEAR OLD WOMAN AROUND TO DR APPOINTMENTS. NISSAN ITSELF DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM (YOU KNOW, LIKE FINDING OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.) THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND THE NHTSA NEEDS TO NOT ONLY HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, BUT ALSO FORCE NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'M PAYING A BOAT LOAD OF MONEY AND TIME TRYING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ISSUE

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE FALL OF 2017 FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. WHEN THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS WERE AVAILABLE IN THE SPRING OF 2018 & CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE WORK DONE. I WAS TOLD WHEN I ARRIVED THAT BECAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING THEY NEEDED TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT WOULD COST $100+ TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS SAFE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. THEY STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS/SPIRAL CABLE MAY BE THE PROBLEM & THAT IT WOULD COST $1000+ TO REPLACE EVERYTHING & THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 94000 MILES. I REALLY LIKE THE CAR, BUT I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. DO I HAVE ANY RIGHTS HERE? I CALLED NISSANONE & THEY GAVE ME A CASE # 31081454, THEY CONTACTED THE DEALER & THEY WERE TOLD THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED FIRST. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 10 YEARS, BROUGHT IT NEW, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NEVER CAME ON. MAYBE THE DEALER USED "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT AS A BLANKET TERM FOR ANY LIGHT THAT LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH BOARD. I DON'T KNOW. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE JUST KEEP SAYING THAT FOR SAFETY REASONS I NEEDED TO HAVE IT CHANGES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OR MAYBE TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. I WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE ABOUT 40 MILES TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER, WHICH IS OK, BUT WHY SHOULD I HAVE TOO DO THAT? ANY ASSISTANTS OR ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE ME IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
