TAKATA RECALL. WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG? I CANNOT TAKE MY FAMILY ANYWHERE IN ONE VEHICLE. THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND I CANNOT LIVE WITH MYSELF IF I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. I LIVE IN AUGUSTA, GA. HUMIDITY IS LIFE HERE AND I AM SO UPSET THAT THIS IS TAKING SO LONG AND I FEEL LIKE I WILL BE HURT EVERY TIME I GET INTO MY CAR. I WORKED HARD FOR THIS VEHICLE AND CANNOT USE IT FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE THAT I PURCHASED IT FOR. THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY, AT APPROXIMATELY 75MPH, TRAFFIC SLOWED AND I LIGHTLY DEPRESSED MY BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW MY VEHICLE IN RESPONSE AND NO BRAKING WAS DETECTED. I PRESSED THE PEDAL FURTHER TO NO AVAIL. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE BRAKES FINALLY ENGAGED. THANKFULLY, I WAS TRAVELING AT A SAFE DISTANCE BEHIND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. NEVERTHELESS, THE EXPERIENCE WAS UNSETTLING. NORMAL BRAKE OPERATION RESUMED FOR A SHORT TIME. WITHIN 25 MILES OF THE LAST OCCURRENCE, I ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE EXCESSIVE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL, FOLLOWED BY NORMAL BRAKE OPERATION. I CAUTIOUSLY MADE MY WAY TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED, AND THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM TO BE A LEAK IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. DESPITE THE 115000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE, I FIND IT QUITE TERRIFYING THAT THE FAILURE OF A COMPONENT COULD PUT MY OCCUPANT AND I IN SUCH A PERILOUS SITUATION WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE, AND AM AWAITING FURTHER ASSISTANCE/REMEDY.

"TAKATA RECALL" - I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM NISSAN IN JULY 2016. JUST RECENTLY (SEPTEMBER 2016) WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF THE PARTS NEEDED TO PERFORM THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD US THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR US TO COME IN. MY WIFE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT AND WHILE SHE WAITED ONE OF THE WORKERS CAME OUT AND SAID THEY CAN'T DO THE WORK BECAUSE THEY GOT A NOTICE FROM NISSAN CORPORATE SAYING TO ONLY FIX CARS THAT ARE REGISTERED IN FLORIDA, USA. I CALLED NISSAN DIRECT TO COMPLAIN. A CASE NUMBER WAS OPENED AND I WAS TOLD SOMEONE FROM CORPORATE WOULD CONTACT ME IN A FEW DAYS. THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET. NOW I AM FORCED TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, WHEN THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE AND WE REGULARLY NEED ALL 5 SEATS FOR THE VOLUNTEER WORK THAT WE DO. IF THIS PART DOES NOT NEED REPLACED, THEN I WANT A WRITTEN NOTICE FROM NISSAN SAYING THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE AT FULL CAPACITY, OR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE NEEDS TO OFFERED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE INFORMING ME THAT IN EXTREME HUMIDITY, I LIVE IN SOUTH LOUISIANA, THE AIRBAG COULD RUPTURE AND CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO STRIKE "OCCUPANTS " IN VEHICLE RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH. NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME TO REPAIR AIRBAG. YOU CANNOT ASSURE ME THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. LIKE OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE ALREADY DOING, I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD ALSO PROVIDE, AT NO CHARGE TO CUSTOMER, COMPARABLE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL VEHICLE CAN BE REPAIRED. I WAS DENIED THAT COURTESY AND FEEL THAT NISSAN IS PUTTING MONEY AHEAD OF SAFETY. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO TO GET SATISFACTORY RECOURSE.

SUSPENSION
AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WE PARKED THE CAR. WE NOTICED A PORTION OF BROKEN COIL SPRING LYING UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. AFTER INVESTIGATION WE FOUND THIS WAS A PORTION OF THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION COIL. I CHECKED THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND FOUND THE BOTTOM OF THE COIL IS BROKEN, BUT HAS NOT YET FALLEN FROM THE SUSPENSION MOUNT. I CHECKED THE NHTSA SITE AND LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FRONT COILS (NHTSA RECALL 15V-573). I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THIS RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO OUR VIN, IT IS LIMITED TO CARS SOLD/REGISTERED ON THE EAST COAST. THIS CAR AS ORIGINALLY IN CA, THEN WENT TO WA, THEN GERMANY BEFORE IT WAS RECENTLY BROUGHT TO MD. THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, NOR DRIVEN OVER ROUGH TERRAIN; SO IT IS HARD TO COMPREHEND HOW BOTH COILS WOULD HAVE CRACKED. THE NOTED RECALL DEFECT OF 'INSUFFICIENT CORROSION COATING' IT LISTED AS ONLY APPLICABLE TO EAST COAST CARS; BUT THIS INCIDENT SEEMS TO POINT TO IT BEING A BROADER MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DRIVER SIDE CLOCK SPRING HAS DEVELOPED A PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS ALL OF THE AIR-BAGS IN THE CAR. NONE WORK. THIS WAS DETECTED ONLY AFTER THEY HAD WORKED ON THE PROBLEM FOR A VERY MINOR DEFECT. THE TROUBLE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. I WENT OVER THE DEPRESSIONS IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD TO PASS A CAR AND THE TIRE PROBLEM LIGHT CAME ON. NOW NONE OF THE POWER WINDOWS WORK. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS WITH A CAR THAT IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD.
