POWER TRAIN
'TAKATA RECALL" I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW, I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS AND NOW I NEED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN ALIGNMENT, I WAS SHOWN WHERE THERE IS A LEAK ON THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE TAKEN IT TO 3 SEPARATE MECHANICS. UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE ITS A CVT TYPE OF TRANSMISSION, ONLY NISSAN IS ABLE TO FIX IT! NISSAN WON'T BUDGE ON THE COST OF REPAIRS, THEY HAVE AN I DON'T CARE ATTITUDE ABOUT IT. IT'S A [XXX] SHAME THAT NISSAN IS BUILDING FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I AM LITERALLY KICKING MYSELF IN THE [XXX] FOR BUYING A NISSAN. ONCE UPON A TIME, NISSAN WAS KNOWN TO MAKE EXCELLENT QUALITY CARS THAT WERE BUILT TO LAST A LIFETIME. THIS IS MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR, BUT NOT MY FIRST NISSAN. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! I WILL NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE A NISSAN! I WILL DISCOURAGE EVERYONE I KNOW FROM BUYING NISSAN VEHICLES! WHAT A DISGRACE!!!!

POWER TRAIN
I AM PART OF A B17 SENTRA (2013-2015) OWNERS PAGE. THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO NEED REPLACEMENT CVT IS OUTRAGEOUS. EXAMPLES INCLUDE ONE NEEDING REPLACEMENT AT 9K MILES, AND A SECOND AT 24K MILES. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS ONE OWNER NEEDED ONE AT 28K MILES AND ANOTHER AT 52K MILES. THE FAILURE PERCENTAGE IS OUT OF CONTROL AND NISSAN DOES NOTHING TO RECTIFY IT PAST THE SHORT WARRANTY. THESE ISSUES SHOULD NOT BE THIS PREVALENT IN SUCH NEW CARS.

AIR BAGS
PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF (INDICATING AIRBAG IS ON) WHEN PASSENGER SITS IN SEAT. THIS IS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AS IT WILL SOMETIMES GO OFF AND SOMETIMES NOT. MULTIPLE TRIPS TO DEALER AND CALLS TO NISSAN CUSTOMER RELATIONS HAVE NOT RESOLVED ISSUE. WERE TOLD ON LAST CONTACT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. PASSENGER WEIGHS 118 LBS. AND THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM WHEN SHE RIDES IN OTHER VEHICLES, I.E. HYUNDAI SANTA FE AND SUBARU OUTBACK. CASE #24255363 WITH CUSTOMER RELATIONS. BYERELY FORD-NISSAN, LOUISVILLE, KY IS DEALER. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD THE AIRBAG FAIL TO OPERATE.

I WENT BACK PHYSICALLY TODAY AT 9.15AM 11/2/2016 BUT AGAIN I WAS TOLD THE NECESSARY PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WANT TO WAIT TILL SOMEBODY ACTUALLY DIES TO TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL. DO HELP.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED AND AFTER THEY DID, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL STAY ON UNTIL SOMEONE OVER 100 POUNDS SETS THERE THEN IT WILL TURN OFF, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RED SEAT BELT LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD WILL STAY ON ALL THE TIME, AND YES I STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR, BOTH LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME AND THE DEALER IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IF MY CAR DOSE NOT DETECT ANY ONE HOWS LESS THAN 100 POUNDS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT MEANS MY CAR IS NOT SAFE AT ALL.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
BEGINNING A WEEK AGO, THE VEHICLE HAS SPONTANEOUSLY SLOWED WITHOUT WARNING, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AND DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE CRUISING ALONG AT 65 MPH, WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT 5 MPH, AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN. THE ACCELERATOR BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE UNTIL YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT COMPLETELY OFF AND TRY TO DEPRESS AGAIN (SOMETIMES IT TAKES 2 OR 3 TIMES). THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE WHILE DRIVING, THEN IT IS FINE FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP (HOURS), AS WELL AS CONTINUOUSLY THROUGHOUT A TRIP. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES AND THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM BY TEST DRIVING. AFTER THE FIRST TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP, I NOTICED A CORRELATION BETWEEN WHEN IT IS RAINING AND THE FREQUENCY OF THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE WIPERS HAVE BEEN TURNED ON WHILE THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON, THE CAR DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL AND SLOWS, WITH AN UNRESPONSIVE ACCELERATOR. ALSO, THE "SLIPPERY ROAD" ICON APPEARS ON THE DASH BOARD WHEN THE ROAD IS DRY AND SPONTANEOUSLY DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, NAVIGATE HILLS, OR JUST DRIVING WITH OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND YOU. I WILL CALL THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING NOW THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A CONNECTION WITH THE VDC (VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL) SYSTEM AND SEE IF THEY CAN PINPOINT THE ISSUE NOW. SHOULD I JUST LEAVE MY NEW CAR PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT EVER AGAIN? MAYBE I CAN USE IT FOR A PLANTER. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I JUST PURCHASED MY 2010 NISSAN SENTRA USED FROM REPUTABLE CAR DEALERSHIP 3/4/16. ON 7/10/2016 MY BATTERY DIED AND WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AND COULD NOT BE RECHARGED. ON 10/4/16 I WAS WAITING ON MY DAUGHTER TO GET OFF OF WORK. THE CAR STARTING TRYING TO DIE OUT. I TURNED OFF VEHICLE CHECKED ALL MY LUBRICANTS AND RADIATOR EVERYTHING WAS FINE. SHE GOT IN WAS IN PROCESS OF BACKING UP CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS(DASH LIGHTS, HEAD LIGHTS,AND ALL THE OTHER WARNING LIGHTS) STARTED FLASHING CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS HESITATING AND DIED OUT. COULD NOT GET TO CRANK. USED JUMPER BOX TO CHECK BATTERY WAS NOT COMPLETELY DEAD. WE PUSHED VEHICLE BACK INTO PARKING PLACE AND LET BATTERY CHARGE. CAR WOULD START BUT NOT CATCH. FEW DAYS LATER BATTERY COMPLETELY DEAD. READ ABOUT RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH MY VEHICLE. LOOSE POSITIVE CABLE TERMINAL CAUSING DROP IN VOLTAGE ESSENTIALLY DAMAGING ECM. VEHICLE TOWED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS IS ECM IS DEAD AND NEEDS REPLACED, POSITIVE TERMINAL CABLE NEEDS REPLACED. COST OF REPAIR $1250.00 AND NOW I AM HAVING TO PAY TO FIX REPAIRS. PER NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN CORPORATE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND THEREFORE WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THEM. DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT ESPECIALLY WHEN DIAGNOSIS IS EXACTLY WHAT RECALL OF 33,803 VEHICLES WAS FOR. *TR
