ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON MY WAY TO WORK THIS MORNING DECEMBER 2019 MY CAR GOING AT AROUND 50 MPH STOP RESPONDING TO THE GAS PEDAL AND I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OVER IN A STRIP MALL SO I WOULD NOT BE HIT OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN TO GET GOING, AFTER THAT I SLOWLY WENT TO WORK. THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME ON A FEW OCCASIONS ALREADY. WHEN I RESEARCHED IT I FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE SAID THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS YEAR VEHICLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE STARTS AND STOPS CONTINUOUSLY AND VERY FAST WHEN ON HIGHWAY GOING 60-75 MPH, AND HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. THE SPEEDOMETER BOUNCES AROUND LIKE CRAZY FROM ZERO TO BOUNCING PASS MY SPEED I'M DRIVING AT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR TO CURRENTLY. I PULL OVER AND LET IT REST, I DIDN'T SEE COMPLAINTS IN PAST ABOUT THIS FROM OTHERS UNTIL NOW, SO I THOUGHT I NOW MUST REPORT AS WELL. I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS ENGINE, SPEEDOMETER, FUEL RELATED, GAS PEDAL OR WHAT, BUT NOW REALIZING IT'S ENGINE ISSUES DUE TO A RECALL NOTICE I GOT IN THE MAIL AND A CIVIL LAWSUIT ACTION IS CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS.

AIR BAGS
THE DRIVER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON, ON THE DASHBOARD. IT TURNS ON WHEN I START THE CAR AND IT STAYS ON. ONE DAY IT WAS OFF WHEN I FIRST TURNED ON THE CAR, BUT AS I DROVE A COUPLE OF BLOCKS IT TURNED ON. I WENT TO A MECHANIC AND HE RAN A DIAGNOSTICS AND IT CAME BACK WITH CODE B00A0-00 OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM DATA 4 SENSOR - HISTORY FAULT. HE SUGGESTED I GO BACK TO NISSAN. NISSAN TOLD ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND I WOULD HAVE TO FIRST PAY $180.00 FOR THEM TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEN PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS. I AM CONCERNED AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I AM NOT SURE IF THE DRIVERS AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS CAR AND IT HAS LOW MILEAGE ABOUT 12,200 MILES. ALSO, I HADE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT OPERATION RECALL FIXED IN 2016.

WHEN ON THE FREEWAY, ONCE VEHICLE HAS REACHED 50-70 MPH, THE RPMS JUMP UP AND DOWN. SUPER DANGEROUS AS I AM THEN UNABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND HAVE TO CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC TO A SHOULDER. ALSO ON TAKE OFF AND STOPPING AT RED LIGHTS, CAR SHUDDERS AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. I KNOW THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OUT THERE AS MANY DRIVERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $5 IN TRANSMISSION REPAIR ON A CAR THAT HAVE 60K MILES JUST TO WAIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND HANDLE THIS AS A RECALL.

SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM MIDWAY NISSAN, 11/2013, THEN 07/2014, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IT COMPLETELY STOPPED ON US. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED AT FAULKNER NISSAN IN PA. ONCE AGAIN DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN MD, WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION GIVES OUT, THESE RESULTS WERE SLIGHTLY MORE HECTIC. MY WIFE HAS EPILEPSY AND WENT INTO A SEIZURE BECAUSE WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO THE SIZE OF THE ROAD. HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR IN MD, GET A RENTAL CAR FROM BWI AIRPORT, DRIVE BACK HOME TO PA, MY MOTHER AND HER FRIEND, WHO WAS RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL AFTER A STROKE HAD TO DRIVE TO MD, IN ORDER FOR ME TO USE HIS TRIPLE A CAR TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED FROM BWI BACK TO HARRISBURG, PA. MY WIFE DROVE BACK WITH US TO MD BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO MAKE SURE MY MOTHER ALMOST AGE 70 AND HER FRIEND IN HIS 80 WAS OK. THIS WAS A NIGHTMARE BECAUSE MR SCHULL, THE TRIPLE A MEMBER NEEDED TO EAT AND WITH ALL THIS COMMOTION NEAR CHOKED WHILE EATING. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INTOLERABLE. NISSAN IS PUTTING FAULTY TRANSMISSION INTO VEHICLES. THIS IS SERIOUS, WORK IS BEING MISSED AND A SECOND TRANSMISSION. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD LIABLE FOR THIS. I AM REPORTING THIS AND WILL ALSO CALL AND FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NISSN TODAY.

SERVICE BRAKES
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM SENSOR FREQUENTLY LIGHTS UP WITH A WARNING RADAR UNAVAILABLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOCAL STREETS. I JUST GOT THIS CAR AND AFTER ONE DAY I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. FIRST THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE SENSOR. AFTER FOUR DAYS IN THE SHOP THEY SAID THEY CLEANED THE SENSOR AND CLEARED THE CODES. THEY ALSO CALIBRATED THE SENSOR. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWICE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER IN TWO DAYS. IN READING THE NHTSA WEBSITE THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL CAR, WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. MANY OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL OR FIX THE PROBLEM. THESE CARS ARE LEMONS. THE FAILURE CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING A LOT MORE SERIOUS. ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN.
