POWER TRAIN
I WAS TRAVELLING ON A HIGHWAY OUT OF TOWN WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PASSED 40MPH AND MAKING A STRANGE NOISE. FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE HIGHWAY, I TURNED OFF THE CAR. LOCATED A NISSAN DEALER AND DROVE THE CAR THERE. AT FIRST THE CAR SEEMED TO BE ONCE AGAIN NORMAL, BUT AGAIN UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT ALL PASSED 40MPH. DEALER IS STATING THAT TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY GONE! I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW ON 2/12/2013. NOW 3 YEARS LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE?? THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE 5000.00 TO FIX IT, BUT LOWERED THE PRICE TO 1800.00. IT'S 6000 MILES PASSED THE WARRANTY AND NOW WHAT? I NEED NISSAN USA TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT.

AIR BAGS
IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR SINCE I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE MY PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE THE AIRBAG COULD EXPLODE AND HARM OR KILL THE PASSENGER. IT THE AIRBAG GOES OFF WITH JUST A DRIVER, IT COULD EASILY CAUSE A CRASH, HARMING OR KILLING THE DRIVER AND OTHERS. I LIVE IN FLORIDA, ULTRA HIGH HUMIDITY, WHICH IS THE WORSE CONDITION FOR THE AIRBAGS. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A REDUCED USE VEHICLE, THE VALUE IS REDUCED BECAUSE WHO WANTS TO BUY A CAR WHEN YOU CAN'T USE PARTS OF IT, OR ANY OF IT,SAFELY. WE ARE CONSTANTLY TOLD THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, BUT MIRACULOUSLY THEY ARE STILL BUILDING CARS WITH AIRBAGS. IF THE CAR MAKERS OR OUR OWN GOVERNMENT CARED, THERE SHOULD BE A SHORT DEADLINE WHEN AFTER A CERTAIN DATE, THEY COULD NO LONGER SELL CARS UNTIL ALL DANGEROUS PROBLEM VEHICLES ARE CORRECTED . THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT THIS IS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN.

MAANUFACTURER NOTED TO CONTACT NISSAN AFFAIRS THAT THEY FAILED OR UNABLE TO REMEDY SAFETY RECALL ON MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER. I NEVER RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE TO BRING IN MY VEHICLE, BUT HAD TO LOOK THIS INFORMATION UP ON MY OWN.

I AM A CURRENT CUSTOMER OF A DEALERSHIP IN GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA. I HAVE BOUGHT AT LEAST 2 BRAND NEW NISSAN VEHICLES FROM THEM . I WAS PLANNING TO BUY ANOTHER NISSAN NOW THAT I JUST RETIRED. HOWEVER WITH THIS EXPERIENCE I AM GOING TO LOOK SOMEWHERE FOR MY NEW VEHICLE OTHER THAN A NISSAN. THIS NISSAN VERSA NOTE I BOUGHT IT IN NOVEMBER 2013. I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANY BRAND CAR MAKES BEFORE 5 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO "FIX" THE CVT PROBLEM AT $ 4000.00! EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THE CVT PROGRAMMING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. EVEN NISSAN ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO TRY TO FIX IT.! AT NO AVAIL. MY ADVICE, STAY AWAY FROM NISSAN VEHICLES!.

TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALL IS JAN. 10, 2017. THE DEALER CAN'T GET INFORMATION FROM NISSAN AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM INVOLVED AND WHEN THEY WILL SUPPLY PARTS FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER IS ONLY TOLD BY NISSAN TO ADVISE THE CUSTOMER NOT TO USE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS IS NOT DOABLE. WE CANNOT SELL THE CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM, CANNOT SAFELY USE THE CAR AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN OR HOW THE PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL MARCH 2, 2017 MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL 16V-349 IN JULY 2016 AND AT THIS DATE, AFTER SOME CALLS TO THE DEALERSHIPS, AIRBAGS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED. RECENTLY I WAS TOLD THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS RECEIVED WERE INFERIOR & HAD TO BE REMADE. THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT ONGOING INCONVENIENCE BECAUSE NO ONE CAN SAFELY RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS TIME PERIOD WITHOUT RESOLUTION IS TOO LONG. EVERY TIME I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAY "PARTS WILL BE IN NEXT MONTH".
