SUSPENSION
THIS CAR HAS THE NHTSA RECALL 15V-573 , WHICH IS FOR THE FRONT SPRING SUSPENSION. YOU GUYS HAVE TO DO THE REAR RECALL FOR THE REAR SPRINGS BECAUSE THEY'VE RUSTED. LIKE IN MY CAR, THEY'RE RUSTED AND IT ONLY HAS 56,890 MILES. SO MY CAR IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR SPRINGS. I'M SENDING THE PICTURES THAT I TOOK. THANKS SO MUCH.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY- THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE CAR CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR IT IS VERY SLUGGISH TO RUN. WHEN IT IS IDLING IT APPEARS TO WANT TO STOP RUNNING. WHEN YOU BEGIN TO MOVE FORWARD- IT HAS A HARD TIME GOING. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO PLANET NISSAN FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS- FOR THIS CONTINUAL PROBLEM- THEY CONTINUALLY WANT TO DENY ANYTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STALLED TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD NOT STEER, PRESS ON THE GAS OR THE BRAKE. I HAD TO TURN MY CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND BACK ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO WORK AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN A SPAN OF A MILE BEFORE I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. I FELT UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT MOVE MY OWN CAR.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ON THE ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY IN LAS VEGAS, NV I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE MY SPEED SO THAT I COULD GET ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR WAS HAVING TROUBLE PICKING UP SPEED, WHEN MY CAR FINALLY JUST DIED. I THEN TRIED TO SWITCH TO PARK SO THAT I COULD RESTART MY CAR AND MOVE OVER MORE TOWARDS THE SHOULDER. IT TOOK ME THREE TRY'S, WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED UP AGAIN. MY CAR HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS, I HAD JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED EARLIER IN THE DAY AND CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS IN DIRE NEED TO BE FIXED, NOTHING WAS BROKEN, AND MY CAR WAS UP TO PAR ON MAINTENANCE. I CALLED NISSAN'S SERVICE PLACE ON SATURDAY AS WELL AFTER THIS HAD HAPPENED AND GOT THE RUN AROUND OF WHAT TO DO.

TIRES, WHEELS
HELLO. ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO I BOUGHT A PAIR OF KUMHO SOLUS KH25 TIRES FORM A LOCAL TIRE SHOP. WHILE TRAVELING TO VISIT FAMILY FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY, 1 OF THE TIRES,MOUNTED ON THE FRONT, HAD A IT TREAD SEPARATION WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE TIRE, WHICH I AM OK WITH, I FEEL THAT THE BRAND OF TIRE MAY HAVE TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE WITH TODAY'S ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS MATTER ARE APPRECIATED . THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL IN EARLY MARCH 2017. PARTS FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WERE EXPECTED BY THE END OF APRIL. IT IS NOW THE BEGINNING OF JULY AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY UPDATES AND NO REPAIRS. I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO DRIVE WITH PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR PARTS AND NOTIFICATION OF REPAIR FOR OVER THREE MONTHS. MY INITIAL LETTER STATES THAT IF MY RECALL IS NOT COMPLETED IN A TIMELY MANNER THAT I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA, AND I AM DOING THAT NOW. PLEASE HELP ME GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, STEERING
ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2016, I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR'S STEERING VIOLENTLY PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND WHEN I TRIED TO CORRECT IT, THE CAR THEN TURNED ALL OF THE WAY TO THE LEFT, CAUSING THE CAR TO ROLL OVER SEVERAL TIMES. ALTHOUGH I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON, THE PRE-TENSIONERS DIDN'T FIRE TO KEEP ME FROM MOVING AROUND AND HITTING MY HEAD. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF EITHER, NOT EVEN THE ONES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CURTAIN WHERE THE CAR WAS DAMAGED. AFTERWARDS, I WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND A CHIROPRACTOR BECAUSE I HURT MY BACK, NECK AND MY HEAD. I ALSO GOT A LAWYER BECAUSE I HAD NOT DONE ANYTHING WRONG WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING PROBLEM JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE. NISSAN, TAKATA, TKH AND MY LAWYER INSPECTED THE CAR IN MARCH AND FOUND THAT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS WENT OFF, THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS DIDN'T ACTIVATE, THE CAR'S VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR HAD A FAULT CODE, THE CAR'S INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR HAD A FAULT CODE AND NISSAN'S ENGINEER THAT WAS THERE WAS UNABLE TO ACCESS THE POWER STEERING MODULE WITH HIS MACHINE. NEXT, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM CAN SHUT DOWN DUE TO EXCESSIVE STEERING AT SLOW SPEEDS. THAT IS BAD BECAUSE NISSAN HAD A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SAID THAT THE CAR CAN PULL TO ONE SIDE EVEN WHEN ALIGNED BASED ON NISSAN'S REQUIREMENTS. THIS MEANS THAT THE REASON PEOPLE HAVE HAD STEERING PROBLEMS IS BECAUSE OF THE CAR'S DESIGN, NISSAN'S ALIGNMENT REQUIREMENTS AND THE CAR NEEDING TO BE ALIGNED DIFFERENTLY. ALSO THE INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR CAN CAUSE A CAR TO SURGE AND SPUTTER, THIS CAN BE WHY PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS DIDN'T PROTECT ME. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE SPEEDOMETER RECALL MAY BE DUE TO THE VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR PROBLEM. MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND THESE THINGS NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED.

TAKATA RECALL (POTENTIALLY - MY NOTICE DOESN'T SAY SPECIFICALLY). I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE EARLY THIS YEAR THAT SAID I WOULD BE RECEIVING A SECOND LETTER BY THE END OF APRIL FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE "FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR". IT IS NOW THE END OF JUNE, AND I HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE LETTER. I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO USE MY PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO THIS. IT ALSO SEEMS THERE IS A DANGER TO ME CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE CAR.
