POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING IN EVENING INTERSTATE TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE STARTED REVVING UP. RPM INDICATOR WOULD SURGE TO ANYWHERE BETWEEN 2 AND 6 AND VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN BY BRAKING, CAR HESITATED AND HAD VERY LOW POWER. IT FELT AS IF IT WOULD CUT OFF. IT DID NOT CUT OFF. CAR WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT AND THEN TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE CVT VALVE NEEDED REPLACING. WHEN PRESSED, STATED REASONS FOR THIS COMPONENT GOING OUT WAS UNKNOWN AND THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY OTHER ISSUES RELATED TO THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. FAILURE MILEAGE 39724. AFTER PART REPLACEMENT (UNDER POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY) CAR WAS DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR ON CITY ROADS BEFORE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS AGAIN. PROBLEMS, WHILE DRIVING, INCLUDED RPM SURGING TO 6, WITH RAPID ACCELERATION AND THEN MAJOR DECREASE IN POWER. AT STOPLIGHT, CAR FELT AS IF IT HAD CUT OFF. GAS PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED FULLY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO MOVE FROM STOPPED POSITION (AT STOPLIGHT). VEHICLE'S SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND DECREASE IN POWER IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE BOTH INTERSTATE AND CITY DRIVING. RAPID ACCELERATION AND LOOSE OF POWER COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING AND A SECOND COMPLAINT WILL BE FILED ONCE THEY HAVE GOTTEN BACK TO ME.

AIR BAGS
TOOK CAR TO DEALER AS PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES WHEN MY WIFE IS IN PASSENGER SEAT, DEALER SAID NO OUTSTANDING RECALL & NO CODES SHOWED ON THEIR INSPECTION. SAID PASSENGER MUST WEIGH AT LEAST 120 LBS WHICH MY WIFE DOES. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM IN ANY OTHER OWNED CARS. I AM SURE THERE ARE MANY SMALL WOMEN WHO WEIGH LESS THAN 120 LBS IN THIS COUNTRY. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED OTHERWISE NISSAN COULD BE SUBJECT TO A MAJOR LAWSUIT IF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AS RESULT OF AIRBAG NOT INFLATING.
