ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON BY ITSELF WITHOUT THE CAR BEING ON. I HAVE WALKED UP TO THE CAR TO HEAR IT PLAYING MUSIC. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY DRIVING, NOT DRIVING, AND WITH NO POWER TO CAR. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY BATTERY DRAINING. ALSO, THE AIR CONDITIONER DISPLAY IS BLANK FROM TIME TO TIME. ONLY THE ORANGE LIGHTS ON THE BUTTONS ARE LIT UP. SOMETIME IF I RESTART THE CAR, IT WILL COME BACK ON AS IF IT IS RESET, OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT HELP. THE DISPLAY SCREEN ABOVE THE AC CONTROL PANEL FREEZES ALONG WITH THE DISPLAY IN BETWEEN THE SPEEDOMETER FROM TIME TO TIME. IT SEEMS AS IF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM DOES WHAT IT WANTS TO AND WHEN IT WANTS. I HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS AND IT'S ALREADY GIVING ME PROBLEMS. IT WAS PURCHASED AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2019 FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, BRAND NEW WITH 4 MILES ON IT.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 4/2019 AND TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 4 TIMES FOR OTHER PROBLEMS AND THEY TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON WHEN THEY CHECK IT. I AM NOW EXPERIENCING A NEW PROBLEM AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER CONCERNING THE RADIO COMING ON AND OFF WHEN THE CAR WASN'T IN USE. WHEN I WOULD GET INTO THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START AND I WOULD HAVE TO GET IT BOOSTED TO START. THE BATTERY KEEPS RUNNING DOWN. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE HAS BEEN OTHER REPORTS AND THAT THEY ARE BEING TOLD NOT TO FIX PROBLEM UNTIL NISSAN FURTHER INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. THEY CLAIMED TO DISMANTLED THE RADIO TO AVOID THE BATTERY FROM RUNNING DOWN BUT ITS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. ALSO IT WAS STATED I COULD TO CONTINUE DRIVING UNTIL THEY CALL IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND STATED THAT THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME A TIME FRAME WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED. I WASN'T OFFERED A LOANER AND WHEN I ASKED I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE ONE AVAILABLE. I TOOK IT IN 1/30/20 AND PICKED IT UP 1/31/20.

AIR BAGS
CODE: R1608 THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) IS DESIGNED TO CLASSIFY THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AND, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE OCS SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO ONLY DEPLOY THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE OCS SOFTWARE MAY INCORRECTLY CLASSIFY THE PASSENGER SEAT AS EMPTY WHEN IT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. IF THE OCS DOES NOT DETECT AN ADULT OCCUPANT, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD BE DEACTIVATED. ADDITIONALLY, IF A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (CRS) IS INSTALLED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT (NISSAN INSTRUCTIONS ADVISES AGAINST THIS), IN CERTAIN RARE INSTANCES, THE SEAT BELT BRACKET COULD DEFORM AND THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEACTIVATE AS DESIGNED. THIS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF AN INJURY TO A CHILD SITTING IN A CRS INSTALLED IN THE FRONT SEAT.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2015. I CALLED THE NUMBER ASKED TO CALL AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER CLOSE TO ME. WHEN I DID THAT I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN DEALS ON AUTOMOBILE BLVD IN SILVER SPRING, I WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE HAS TO SIT ON THE PASSENGER SIT FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO GO OFF. I ASKED WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS DUE FOR INSPECTION . THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF BEFORE THE INSPECTION TIME. AS I WRITING THOS COMPLIANT, THE LIGHT IS STILL SHOWING AND ON GOING TO THE INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR HAS FAILED INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG BEEN DISFUNCTIONAL. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN MOTOR AND THEY ARE GIVING ME THE GO AROUND AND NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF THE RECALL THAT CAUSED MY CAR NOT TO PASS INSPECTION. PLEASE I NEED HELP AS THE RECALL ISSUE WAS NOT ADDRESSED WHICH HAS CAUSED THE PROBLEM NOW.FOR MY NISSAN SENTRA 2013.

BOUGHT 2017 NISSAN SENTRA BRAND NEW FROM DEALERSHIP AND WAS VERY UNFAIRLY OVERCHARGED. I WAS CHARGED $23,014.53 FOR A CAR THAT WAS ONLY WORTH $16,000 AND HAS SO MANY ISSUES. GAS TANK SOMETIMES WILL STOP AT 200 MILES AND WILL NOT FILL UP, SPEEDOMETER SHOOTS UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING, SPEED DOES NOT STAY AT A CERTAIN SPEED AND SLOWS DOWN AUTOMATICALLY. THE ENGINE JERKS AND SPUTTERS WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAYS AND STREETS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT IN 2018. CAR RPM JUMPS UP AND DOWN WHEN DRIVING. CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN I'M PARK AND LEFT IN IDLE SOMETIMES, IT TAKES A LOT TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT IN THE VEHICLE. HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN THE BEGINNING OF 2019 THINKING IT WILL FIX IT, BUT THE ISSUE STILL OCCURS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO MECHANICS AND THEY ALL SUGGESTED TO CONTACT NISSAN. I'VE SPENT ALMOST 4,000-6,000 ON REPAIRS WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS. ALL RELATED TO THE SAME ISSUE

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA THAT IS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, I HAVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION THAT SO MANY CONSUMERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. I WAS IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT ON OCT. 29TH 2019 WHEN MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD AND REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS AT A TOTAL STOP (STATIONARY) AND MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS. MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS IT LUNGES, JERKS AND RPM GO UP WHEN IDLING. I AM HEARING GRINDING NOISES AND MY CAR JERKS AND DRAGS WHEN DRIVING. I HAD IT IN THE SHOP ABOUT A YEAR AGO FOR CLICKING NOISES AND GEAR HARD SHIFTING, THEY COVERED UP THE PROBLEM AND I PAID THE DEALER $116 TO LUBE MY GEAR SHIFT AND STRUTS.I STILL OWE $4000 ON THIS CAR. THE NISSAN DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $150 FOR A TRANSMISSION INSPECTION. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THE TRANSMISSION ON 2014. THANK YOU. CATHY
