AIR BAGS
MY MOTHER HAD AN ACCIDENT THAT TOTALED THE AUTOMOBILE. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD WITH LESS THAN 2500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE ACCIDENT WAS A FRONT END COLLISION AND THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DID DEPLOY. NISSAN USA IS NOT RESPONDING. A REPORT HAS BEEN FILED. THE FRONT DRIVER'S AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I AM BEEN DESIGNATED BY MY MOTHER TO ADDRESS THIS AS SHE SUFFERED SEVER INJURIES DUE TO THE FAULTY AI BAG AND MY FARTHER HAS DEMENTIA AND CANNOT PROPERLY REPLAY THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS WAS A SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL WHICH RESULTED IN STRIKING A TELEPHONE POLE RH FRONT JUST OFF CENTER.*DT*DT*JB*JB*DT*JB

THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND THAT SEEMS TO COME FROM THE PASSENGER'S FRONT QUARTER OF MY KICKS. I CANNOT REPLICATE IT. I HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND SEEMS TO DECELERATE THE CAR. IT NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM PULLING OUT OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX. I CANNOT RECREATE THE ISSUE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A DEALER A FEW WEEKS AGO FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY SAID NOTHING SEEMED WRONG AND OF COURSE THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE SOUND EITHER. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS COINCIDENCE OR NOT, BUT MY FUEL EFFICIENCY HAS SEEMED TO DECREASE AS WELL. IT USE TO BE AROUND THE 27.7 AREA AND NOW IT HOVERS IN THE 25.7 RANGE. BOTH OF WHICH ARE BELOW THE ESTIMATES WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR.

OWNER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. AT APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES, THE VEHICLE MADE A GEAR GRINDING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY H MILLER NISSAN IN MESA AZ, DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MAKE GRINDING NOISES FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE TRANSMISSION. ALTHOUGH THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND PASSENGERS HEAR THE GRINDING NOISE ALMOST ON A EVER-OTHER DAY BASIS, SAME DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. OWNER WILL NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE, WHICH NOW HAS ONLY 2,100 MILES ON IT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A 2020 NISSAN KICKS WITH 11 MILES ON 1/1/20. THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND STALLING WHEN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, AND AT LIGHTS ON 1/10/20, WITH 250 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AFTER 3 SERVICE APPOINTMENTS, TAKING PICTURES AND USING THE EVENT RECORDER AS INSTRUCTED, I WAS INFORMED ON 3/5/20, THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX FOR THIS KICKS, ENGINEERS ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND THEY WILL CONTACT ME WHEN AN UPDATE IS AVAILABLE THAT MAY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. ,THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT 19 TIMES AS OF 3/9/20, WITH 2039 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED AND SERVICED THE VEHICLE COULD NOT REPAIR AND WOULD NOT REPLACE THE VEHICLE, AFTER 3 VISITS TOTALING 9 DAYS IN THE SHOP WITHIN THE FIRST 60 DAYS OF PURCHASE, I HAVE BEEN DIRECTED TO FOLLOW UP WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WITH MY CONCERNS. NISSAN WILL BE SENDING AN ENGINEER TO FURTHER INSPECT THE VEHICLE WITHIN THE NEXT 2 WEEKS. CONCERN: THE VEHICLE SHAKES/SHUDDERS AND/OR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND SIGNS, AND ALSO WHEN STOPPING TO PARK. DURING THESE EVENTS THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE, WITH BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASH DISPLAY EXCEPT THE BATTERY AND OIL LIGHT AFTER THE ENGINE HAS STALLED. EACH EVENT HAS BEEN RESOLVED BY PLACING VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THE EVENTS ARE INCONSISTENT/UNPREDICTABLE, HAVING OCCURRED TWICE IN THE SAME MILE, OR UP TO 358 MILES BETWEEN EVENTS; ALSO HAVING OCCURRED 0-4 TIMES EVERY 0-10 DAYS.

FRONT SENSOR FOR THE VEHICAL KEEPS STATING THAT THE SENSOR IS OBSTRUCTED. THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR HAS BEEN CLEANED AND LOOKED AT BY THE DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO DO SO, DUE TO THE CLAIM THAT RAIN AND BUGS ARE THE CAUSE OF SETTING OFF THE SENSOR. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN GOING OFF SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN AUGUST OF 2018.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FUEL: I FILLED THE TANK AND THE READING WAS MUCH LOWER, AS IF I HAD LESS GAS IN THE TANK. I FILLED THE TANK, AND DRIVING 1 MILE, THE READING SAID I DROVE 3 MILES, SO I WAS LOSING 3 MILES OF GAS PER 1 MILE DRIVE. I TOOK IT INTO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE TANK WAS READING ACCURATELY. AFTER THEY TOOK A LOOK, I NOTICE I WASN'T LOSING GAS AS BEFORE, I THINK THEY DID A RESET AND NOW LOOKS TO BE WORKING. THIS TOOK PLACE ON 01/20-23/2020 OTHER: I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FOR A GRINDING NOISE, CAME OUT TO BE WHEEL BEARING REPLACEMENT ON MY BRAND NEW CAR. VERY DISAPPOINTING. REPLACEMENT ON 01/09/2020
