AIR BAGS
I WAS ABOUT GOING FOR A MEETING BUT WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, THE AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I WASN'T INTO ANY ACCIDENT. I WENT TO A NISSAN DEALER ON 10/16/2012 TO KNOW WHAT CAUSES THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO BE FLASHING WHEN THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED. THEY RAN THEIR TEST AND TOLD ME THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FLASHING WAS {RH SIDE AIR BAG MODULE DEFECTIVE}. THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT AND INTURN GAVE ME A REPAIR QUOTE OF ABOUT $1300 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM WAS FROM NISSAN AND NOT ME. SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE THAT AMOUNT TO REPAIR THE CAR AIR BAG. IN NOVEMBER 2014 I MET A FRIEND THAT DRIVES THE SAME CAR, MODEL, & YEAR WITH THE SAME AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. I ASKED IF HE GOT INTO ANY ACCIDENT, HE SAYS NO THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT JUST STARTED FLASHING ON ONE OF THE DAYS WHEN HE WAS GOING TO WORK. ON 11/07/2014, I CALLED NISSAN USA AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD ME TO FAX THE DIAGNOSTIC AND EVIDENCE THAT AM THE OWNER OF THE CAR TO THEM WITH THE FAX # AND THE CASE # SHE GAVE ME THAT THEY WILL INVESTIGATE AND IF THE PROBLEM IS FROM THEM, THEY WILL FIX THE CAR FOR FREE. I FAXED THE REQUIRED DOCUMENT AND NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN. AFTER WAITING FOR A MONTH, I DECIDED TO CALL AND CHECK THE STATUS OF MY CASE. IT HAPPENS THAT EVERY TIME I CALLED THE REP AND THE SUPERVISOR ARE GIVING ME DIFFERENT AND CONFLICTING INFORMATION. TILL NOW THAT AM WRITING THIS, NISSAN HAVE REFUSED TO FIXED THE PROBLEM THE CAUSE. I WILL APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE CAN LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. THANKS, SEW

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON MAY 10, 2015 AT APPROXIMATELY 3:15 PM, I WAS DRIVING EASTBOUND ON JOHN HANSON HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY MY HOOD COME UNLATCHED AND SMASHED INTO MY WINDSHIELD CAUSE THE GLASS TO SHATTERED WHILE I WAS DRIVING CAUSING ME TO TRY AND MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER LANE BECAUSE OF LOSS VISIBILITY WHILE SHARDS OF GLASS WAS ALL OVER ME. I CONTACTED MY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THROUGH STATEFARM AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP THEY TOLD ME THAT STATEFARM WILL NOT REPAIR MY CAR IN ITS ENTIRETY BECAUSE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE LATCH BREAKING CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY WINDSHIELD, HOOD, AND ROOF, WAS DUE TO EXTENSIVE CORROSION TO MY CORE SUPPORT. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AND THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT; HOWEVER, THE SEVERITY OF THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO HAVE BEEN IN MY TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. NEVERTHELESS, THE RUSTED AND CORRODED CORE SUPPORT WAS NO CAUSE ON MINE AND I AM REQUESTED ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER. I DO NOT LIVE IN A FLOOD ZONE. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM THE NISSAN DEALER IN JANUARY 2007. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS IMPERATIVE MATTER. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAD JUST FINISHED WASHING MY VEHICLE WHEN I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT DRIVE MY CAR AT REGULAR SPEED I HAD MY FOOT ALL THE WAY ON THE GAS PEDAL AND COULD NOT EVEN GET UP TO 5 MPH. TRAFFIC WAS COMING AND I HAD TO PUT ON MY FOUR WAY BLINKERS SO I WOULD NOT BE HIT. I MADE IT OVER TO A PARKING LOT AND RAN IT AROUND FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL IT FINALLY KICKED IN SO I COULD GET BACK INTO TRAFFIC.. AT THAT MOMENT I HAD MY 3 YEAR OLD GRANDSON ONBOARD AND I WAS TRYING NOT TO PANIC.... I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A FRIEND. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON FEBRUARY 9, 2015 I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN SENTRA AND EVERYTHING STOPPED (ALL POWER) I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY SO I GOT A JUMP IT STARTED AND I DROVE TO THE STORE. WHEN I STOPPED AT A STORE THE CAR WAS DEAD AGAIN. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION I REALIZED THE BATTERY TERMINAL ON THE POSITIVE SIDE WAS NOT STAYING ON THE BATTERY SO THEREFORE THE POWER IN THE CAR COULD STOP AT ANY TIME. I RESEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPEN WITH ANY OTHER NISSAN SENTRAS, AND FOUND IT HAD SO I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALLS FOR THE CAR I HAVE DID NOT INCLUDE THE BATTERY TERMINAL. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THIS EXACT PROBLEM WAS AN ISSUE REPORTED AND RECALLS DONE FOR OTHER SENTRAS IS IT POSSIBLE THE SAME COULD BE FOR MY CAR. I THINK THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN SHOULD REPAIR THE CAR. *TR

MY NISSAN SENTRA 200 AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, YET DEALER REFUSED TO FIX SAFETY ISSUE, ADVISING ME TO SEEK CONTACT NISSAN MANUFACTURER, AT 0745AM. PERSONNEL WAS BLATANTLY UNFRIENDLY AND RUDE, WHILE TAKING DOWN MY KEYS AND PAPER WORK - CUSTOMER DETAILS, I.E., BYPASSED TO THE NEXT CUSTOMER BEHIND ME IN THE QUEUE. PERSONNEL ORDERED ME TO "REMOVE MY STUFF, DEMANDING MY INSURANCE AND CREDIT CARD," BEFORE EVEN LETTING ME KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT, AS THE "OTHER" JUMPED INTO VEHICLE, TRYING TO DRIVE TO REPAIR SHOP. THE LACK OF COURTESY AND RESPECT TO ME AS A CUSTOMER, ACCORDED TO OTHERS, WAS NOT AN ISSUE, I JUST WANTED TO THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE MANUFACTURED VEHICLE ADDRESSED. SHE ALSO BLATANTLY DECLARED THAT SINCE MY AIRBAG WAS "BLINKING," I WAS "NOT TO EXPECT RECALL LIST SERVICE." WHILE IN THE RESTROOM, INSIDE BUILDING, WAS USHERED TO A SEAT WITHIN 5 MINUTES, AND SAME RUDE PERSONNEL HANDED ME BACK MY KEY, CREDIT CARD AND INSURANCE CARD. THE MANAGER WAS ALSO WITHIN EARSHOT, AND DID ALSO ASK, THAT MY "CUSTOMER NUMBER" BE WRITTEN DOWN, AFTER LETTING THEM KNOW THAT I WAS DISAPPOINTED, SINCE OTHERS BEHIND QUEUE WERE MADE TO WAIT, RECEIVING SERVICE. I HONESTLY INVESTED IN THE VEHICLE, THUS IS SEEKING YOUR HELP, TO HAVE NISSAN FULFILL OBLIGATION TO ME AS A CUSTOMER. *TR

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING STALLING ON A STOP AND HESITATING IN REVERSE FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS. THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO FUEL PUMP ISSUES. THEN, HEARD A LOUD CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO SLOW. WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN HAS AN EXTENDED 120,000 WARRANTY ON TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE HAD 120,815 MILES. THEY ONLY REPLACED 50%, CAUSING ME TO PAY $1500. THESE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION CLEARLY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT DEFECT CAUSING THESE ISSUES THAT NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEDGED BY DOUBLING THE WARRANTY, BUT THIS IS INSUFFICIENT. THE TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE PAID ANYTHING FOR THE REPAIRS. ADDITIONALLY, THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WAS A NISSAN REMANUFACTURED WITH REFURBISHED PARTS, NOT NEW. BASED ON THE NUMEROUS CONSUMERS REPORTING THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE VEHICLES 2 OR 3 TIMES, I WILL NOT BE KEEPING THIS VEHICLE, NOR WILL I EVER BUY A NISSAN PRODUCT AGAIN. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON IN THE CAR. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF SIGN IS ON, THERE IS SOME KIND OF FAULT WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM OR FAULT. I SPOKE TO DEALER ABOUT ANY RECALLS, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY AND IT WAS GOING TO COST 100'S OF DOLLARS JUST TO DIAGNOSE WHAT WAS GOING ON. I THINK THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND A SAFETY ISSUE AND DEALER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO FIX. *TR
