I WAS SENT A LETTER SAYING IT WAS THE 2ND LETTER TO ME ABOUT A RECALL TO A CAR I OWNED BUT I ONLY RECEIVED THE ONE. I DON'T OWN THE CAR ANYMORE AND DIDN'T RECEIVE MY PROPER LOSS SETTLEMENT FROM MY INSURANCE SO I WOULD LIKE TO BE LEFT ALONE ON ANYTHING INVOLVING THIS VEHICLE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IN MOTION. THIS CAR WOULD VIBRATE WHILE STEERING (TURNING) AND ACCELERATING, FORCING THE RMPS TO FLEX UP WITHOUT GAIN OF POWER. THE RPMA WOULD RANDOMLY FLEX UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT A MAINTAINED SPEED. THEN A DAY AT A STORE I TURN THE CAR ON, WENT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AN IT STALLED OUT- 5 TIMES TO GET TO TO MOVE. THEN IT WOULD STALL OUT WHILE COMING TO A STOP/AT A STOP/STILL IN GEAR (DRIVE) SO I WOULD HAVE TO SLAM IT INTO NEUTRAL WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP OR AT A STOP. UNTIL ONE DAY AS I WAS DRIVING I DIDN'T NEED TO COMPLETELY STOP AS I TURNED TO ANOTHER ROAD BC NO ONE WAS COMING, AS I USED THE ACCELERATOR TO GAIN MY SPEED THE RMP FLEXED UP AND DOWN BUT MY SPEED DECREASED LEADING TO THE CAR STALLLING OUT ON SIDE OF ROAD. I TURNED IT OFF THEN TRIED TO START IT AND TO PUT IT IN GEAR IT AGAIN STALLED OUT, AFTER THAT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER AN IT GOT TOWED TO MY PLACE WHERE IT SITS AND DOESN'T START OR MOVE, IT HAS 3 RECALLS COME TO FIND OUT AN I CONTACTED NISSAN WHICH TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT TOLD ME TO GO CALL NISSAN. SO PRETTY MUCH I'VE GOTTEN ZERO INFORMATION AN A RUN AROUND. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'M LUCKY I WASN'T DRIVING 60MPH OR MORE AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND EVERYTHING LOCKS UP. WILL BE TRYING TO START THIS CAR TO DETERMINE IF IT SHOULD NEED TO BE TOWED 3 HOURS AWAY FROM THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP.

TAKATA RECALL--I RECEIVED AN "INTERIM" NOTICE MAYBE AN ENTIRE YEAR AGO REGARDING A RECALL OF MY VEHICLE DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I WAS TOLD IN THIS NOTICE THAT I SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT OF MY CAR DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG THAT MAY CAUSE ITS INFLATOR TO "RUPTURE OR DEPLOY ABNORMALLY, RESULTING IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." I WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR AN INVITATION TO REPAIR LETTER, BUT IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG TIME AND I'VE HEARD NOTHING FURTHER FROM THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM OR THIS INTERIM NOTICE. I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR. ASKING ME NOT TO ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR WHILE WAITING ON PARTS IS NOT FEASIBLE. IF THIS ISSUE IS AS SERIOUS AS WAS ADVISED IN THE LETTER, I THINK SOMETHING ELSE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE INTERIM. EVEN JUST COMMUNICATING THE REASON FOR THE DELAYS FROM THE MANUFACTURER WOULD BE SOMETHING. OR EXPLAINING WHY TURNING OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS OR IS NOT A GOOD TRADE-OFF FOR KEEPING IT ON, AND RISKING THAT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IMPROPERLY AND MAIM OCCUPANTS OF MY CAR. THIS ISSUE SOUNDS SCARY AND I HAVEN'T BEEN PROVIDED WITH MUCH PERTINENT INFORMATION FROM THE DEALER ABOUT IT, LET ALONE ANY POTENTIAL OPTIONS ASIDE FROM WAITING AND DREADING MY PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYING.

I WAS INSTRUCTED NOT TO ALLOW PASSENGER'S TO USE THAT SEAT, THIS IS CAUSING A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE FOR ME. ALSO WHY IS ONLY ONE AIR BAG RECALLED, WHEN THEY WERE ALL OBVIOUSLY INSTALLED AT THE SAME TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN THIS WILL BE RESOLVED

POWER TRAIN
ON TUESDAY, MAY 23, 2017, I WAS DRIVING ON US 95 NORTHBOUND IN LAS VEGAS. IT WAS AROUND 5:30 PM, SO RUSH-HOUR. TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE NOT EVEN GOING 15 MPH. TRAFFIC HAD STARTED TO MOVE AND AS I HIT THE CAR I NOTICED MY CAR HAD NO POWER AND MY CAR HAD DIED! A BUNCH OF LIGHTS CAME ON MY DASHBOARD BUT THE CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATING. I COASTED OVER TO THE LEFT EMERGENCY LANE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED ABOUT 5 MIN AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WENT OFF AND THE CAR DID NOT SHOW THAT IT WAS OVERHEATING. I BEGAN TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS FROM THERE. BUT MY CAR SHOULDN'T JUST DIE IN TRAFFIC! I'M GLAD TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER AND NOT CRAZY! IF MY CAR HAD DIED WHILE GOING FASTER I MAY HAVE BEEN HIT.

SUSPENSION
THE LOWER FRONT CONTROL ARM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHICH HOLDS THE FRONT WHEEL ON THE FRAME BROKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PART LETTING THE FRONT WHEEL LOOSE FROM THE CAR. A SMALL PORTION OF METAL THAT DID NOT BREAK HELD THE TIRE ON. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENED. THE PERSON DRIVING WAS ON A MAIN ROAD IN A MAJOR U.S., CITY. THE FRONT TIRE HAD RUBBED AGAINST THE FRONT PLASTIC BUMPER AND ACTUALLY PEALED SOME OF IT OFF. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM HAS BEEN REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE AND IS IN MY POSSESSION. THE REPLACEMENT WAS DONE BY A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC CLAIMS IT IS A NISSAN PART.

TAKATA RECALL I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN INABILITY FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER. IT HAS A YEAR. I AM UNABLE TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY CAR AND WHILE THAT MIGHT NOT BE A PRIMARY FUNCTION OF A VEHICLE IT IS MOST CERTAINLY A CRUCIAL SECONDARY FUNCTION. I MIGHT REST EASIER IF "HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY" WAS A BIT MORE CLEAR, E.G. PROVIDING AN ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY RANGE OR A LIST OF STATES WHERE THIS IS MORE COMMON. THANK YOU
