BUT NOTICE WEEKS BEFORE WHEN I TURNING IT WAS LOOSING POWER BUT WOULD PICK UP SPEED AS IT SHOULD.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON AND BLINKING CONTINOUSLY. THE HORN ALSO STOPPED WORKING. FEELS VERY UNSAFE DRIVING WITHOUT A HORN. SINCE BOTH THE AIRBAG AND HORN ARE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND READING THROUGH SEVERAL OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I WOULD ASSUME THEY ARE RELATED. SHOULD BE RECALLED AS MANY OTHER NISSANS HAVE BEEN RECALLED WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS NORMAL NOW AFTER 100K IT SLIPS ALL THE TIME AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AND THE CAR NOT BE DRIVEN MORE THEN 20 TO 30 MILES WITHOUT OVER HEATING THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE DONE A RECALL. ALL THEY DID WAS EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 110 WHICH BY THE TIME I REPORTED I AM AT 112000 MILES AND NOW I HAVE NO RECOURSE. I FEEL THAT THESE COMPANIES ARE AVOIDING RECALLS AND DOING THESE EXTENSIONS TO AVOID HAVING MULTIPLE CLAIMS. THE GOVERNMENT IS FAILING TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS!!!

SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2017 NISSAN SENTRA WITH 37,000 MILES WILL NOT START. I HAVE THE KEYLESS IGNITION AND WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR I KEEP GETTING A MESSAGE TO PRESS THE BRAKES. I HAVE THE BRAKE PEDDLE PRESSED BUT CAR DOES NOT REGISTER THAT. I WORRY THAT THE BRAKES ARE GOING TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING. IF I KEEP PRESSING THE PEDDLE EVENTUALLY THE CAR WILL START. THIS HAS BEEN ON-GOING FOR THE PAST 3-4 WEEKS.

"TAKATA RECALL" THIS ISSUE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CURRENT RECALL. MY ISSUE IS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION. INITIAL ISSUE HAPPENED PRIOR TO 50K MILES, ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION FAILED. REPLACED BY NISSAN, 2ND TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 96K MILES, NISSAN WANTED TO REPLACE AGAIN. REQUESTED THEY TAKE VEHICLE BACK. SAW LEMON LAW INFO SHOWING ISSUES FROM 2012 - 2018. FYI VEHICLE STOPPED 1ST TIME ON FREEWAY. 2ND TIME IN MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTION BOTH TIMES HAD TO BE TOWED.

I HAVE BEEN GETTING GRINDING NOISES FROM MY TRANSMISSION SINCE THE FALL OF 2016. TOOK THE CAR INTO THE GEORGESVILLE NISSAN SHOP IN COLUMBUS, OH WHERE THEY STATED THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE NOISE OR HEAR IT EVEN THOUGH THE NOISE IS NOTICEABLE WHEN THE CAR STARTS TO MOVE AFTER SITTING STILL FOR AT LEAST HALF AN HOUR. IT SOUNDS AS IF SOMEONE ISN'T PUSHING ON THE CLUTCH BEFORE CHANGING GEARS, THE PROBLEM IS THOUGH THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I HAVE GONE TO THE SHOP A FEW TIMES WHERE I'VE BEEN GIVEN THE SAME THING, THEY CAN'T RECREATE IT. MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME AND NOW IT'S NOT. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS WAS THEM TRYING TO NOT REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR WAS AROUND 90K MILES WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AND I'VE BEEN THERE TWO OR THREE TIMES. NOW MY CAR IS AT 123K MILES AND I AM NO LONGER COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I AM CURRENTLY AT WORK AND CAN NOT UPLOAD MY RECEIPTS FROM MY VISIT BUT WILL SEND PICTURES WHEN NEED BE. I'M SURE I HAVE A VIDEO I RECORDED OF THE NOISE TO, IF NOT, I HAVE A DASHCAM THAT I'M SURE HAS RECORDED THE SOUND MANY TIMES OVER.

DRIVING HOME THE OTHER NIGHT AND WHEN I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. FIRST IT STARTED REVVING REALLY HIGH AND NOT SHIFTING, THEN IT STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED ON THE GAS IT WOULD NOT GO. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE STUCK ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A CAR THE WOULD NOT GO. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO CRAWL TO AN OFFRAMP AND ONTO A SIDE STREET. I HAD TO HAVE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER. AFTER EXAMINING IT, THEY SAID IT WAS MAKING A WINING SOUND AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.
