AIR BAGS
PASSENGER SENSOR LIGHT COMES WHILE DRIVING THEN RESETS WHEN ENGINE RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENS A COUPLE TIMES THEN AIRBAG LIGHT IN CONSOLE STARTS FLASHING PERMANENTLY. THE PERSON SITTING IN THE SEAT IS EASILY 250 LBS SO IT MUST BE A SENSOR IR EVEN ISSUE. HAD A DEALER CHECK IT ONCE AND NO ERROR CODE SHOWS UP

POWER TRAIN
STARTING HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION IT STARTED POPPING AS I WOULD BACK UP , SO I THOUGHT IT WAS THE DRIVE SHAFT. I TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND THEY FOUND THAT THE RADIATOR COOLING SYSTEM HAD LET GO LETTING THE COOLING AND TRANSMISSION MIX. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON THIS IF NISSAN NEW ABOUT IT. IT STARTED TO SLIP A COUPLE OF TIMES AS I WENT TO PULL OUT AND THAT'S WHEN I TOOK IT TO GARAGE.

WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE ROLLS-NOT SLIDES OUT OF DRIVEWAY WHILE VEHICLE IN PARK AND NOT RUNNING WHILE ON SNOW AND ICE DOES NOT DO SO WHEN IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE. NISSAN DEALER HAS SEEN VIDEOS BUT SAYS NOTHING WRONG. LIVED IN HOUSE SINCE 1985 AND NO CAR HAS EVER ROLLED OUT. ONLY UNDER CERTAIN WINTER CONDITIONS DOES THIS HAPPEN SUCH AS WET PACKED SNOW.. WAS NEARLY RAN OVER ONE DAY GETTING MAIL. VIDEO SHOW NO KEY, IN PARK AND ALL 4 TIRES ROTATING FORWARD. SECOND VIDEO SHOWS NO KEY, IN PARK 3 WHEELS ROTATING FORWARD AND 1 REAR WHEEL ROTATING BACKWARD AS PICKUP ROLLS FORWARD. ONE DEALER COULD SEE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO PUT BLOCKS BEHIND WHEELS. SECOND COMPLAINT. REAR BUMPER HAS SIGNIFICANT RUST AROUND LICENSE PLATE, REST OF BUMPER OK. NISSAN SAYS BECAUSE OF WINTER CHEMICALS. BROUGHT THIS TO THEIR ATTENTION 4 YEARS AGO WHEN PICKUP HAD 7835 MILES. IN 4 YEARS I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIND ANOTHER PICKUP APPROXIMATE SAME AGE ANY MAKE WITH RUST FROM CHEMICALS. I HAVE THE ONLY ONE IN (REDACTED). WHY RUST BEHIND LICENSE PLATE WHICH IS PROTECTED FROM CHEMICAL. THE PAST 4 YEARS I AVE MADE A MINIMUM OF 15 TRIPS, CALLS, LETTERS ALL TO BE TOLD NOTHING WRONG, NOTHING WE CAN DO. FEEL AS THOUGH THE BIG COMPANY IS BULLYING THE LITTLE PERSON. CAN SEND PHOTOS, VIDEO CORRESPONDENCE SEPARATELY-NOT COMPUTER SAVVY. FIRST INCIDENT AT DEALER WAS 2/27/2018. MIGHT ADD THIS IS A GREAT PICKUP, WHICH I CAN NEVER SELL IN GOOD FAITH KNOWING THE DANGEROUS CONDITION ON SNOW AND ICE.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN DRIVING ON HILLY STREETS WITH 55 MPH SPEED LIMIT, TRUCK WILL NOT MAINTAIN 55 MPH SPEED USING CRUISE CONTROL.. TRAVELING UP HILL, TRUCK DROPS 5-8 MPH BEFORE DOWNSHIFTING TO LOWER GEAR. THE DOWNSHIFT IS ABRUPT RATHER THAN A SMOOTH. WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, DISENGAGING OVERDRIVE IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAINTAIN SPEED. *BF *TR
