AIR BAGS
TAKATA INFLATORS, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM NHTSA BACK IN JULY 2018. EXACTLY A FEW DAYS LATER MY AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO TAKE MY CAR TO NISSAN. I TOOK IT IN TODAY 2/16/19 AND MCDAVID NISSAN IS TELLING ME THAT MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL. THEY WON'T FIX IT THEY WANT ME TO PAY $800+ TO REPAIR IT. I'VE ALREADY HAD TO TAKE MY CAR HERE 2 OTHER TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN IT HAD RECALLS FOR AIRBAGS. I'M GUESSING THE RECALL ISN'T ACTIVE SO THEY'RE NOT SEEING IT. MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE NEXT DAY THE AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON.

I PURCHASED A USED 2015 NISSAN VERSA FROM DRIVETIME BACK ON 04/20/18 WITH 46,732 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST 8 MONTHS AND IT NOW HAS CLOSE TO 60,000 MILES. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DRIVING HERE IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS WITH THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN, TRANSMISSION JERKING & TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP WHO ADVISED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY QUOTED ME BETWEEN $2000.00 TO $4000.00 DEPENDING IF I BUY A USED OR NEW TRANSMISSION. I CHECKED ONLINE AND SEE THAT THIS IS WELL KNOW PROBLEM WITH NISSAN VEHICLES, WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION. IT SHOWS THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY OUT TO 10 YEARS AND 120,000 ON SOME OF THE THEIR VEHICLES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, I JUST CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND ADVISE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. FOR THE CAR TO SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE IM DRIVING IT, COULD RESULT IN ME BEING INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR BEING KILLED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT REMEDIES I HAVE GOING FORWARD WITH THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU.

POWER TRAIN
I HAD ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 40 MPH, AND IT COMPLETELY STALLED OUT ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TO MY ASTONISHMENT, IT TURNED OUT TO BE MY TRANSMISSION. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAD TO PUT IN A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. IT SCARES ME TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN GOING FASTER, OR IF SOMEONE HAD CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR. I LATER READ WHERE NISSAN HAD BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR YEARS.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & THE CAR SLOWED DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS DRIVING FROM BIRMINGHAM, AL TO ACWORTH, GA. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. BUT I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON A 2012 NISSAN VERSA PURCHASED NEW 8/6/2012. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & THE CAR SLOWED DOWN. THE TOTAL COST OF TRANSMISSION $3,534.93. THE VERSA HAD 70,619 MILES. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED ON 2/23/18 AT A TOTAL COST OF $572.93 AT 63,067 MILES. NO PROBLEMS WERE NOTED AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES I EXPERIENCED WITH THE VERSA, DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN, I FEEL I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIRS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2015, THE CAR ALREADY HAD CVT ISSUES. IT USED TO JERK AND SOMETIMES I HAD TO TURN IT ON AGAIN BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS NOT AWARE IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE RPM STARTED TO GO UP AND DOWN, IN THE HILLS THE CAR WOULD NOT GET SPEED. IN 2017, THE CAR WAS STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO THE POINT THAT I COULD NOT DRIVE ANYMORE, PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGEROUS. I WENT TO NISSAN AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, IN JULY 2018 THE RPM STARTED TO GO UP AND DOWN AGAIN. ON DECEMBER 31ST I WENT TO NISSAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION PART, I REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS I LEFT NISSAN I REALIZED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. I WENT BACK TO NISSAN THEY TOLD ME THAT WATER WAS GOING INSIDE A HOLE IN MY TRUNK AND GOING TO THE LIGHTS AND IT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I WENT TO A TRUSTED BODY SHOP AND A MECHANIC TO GET A SECOND OPINION, BOTH TOLD ME THAT THE LIGHTS DID NOT HAVE TO DO WITH THE MALFUNCTION OF THE CAR., BESIDES THERE WASN'T ANY WATER MARKS INSIDE MY TRUCK. I WENT BACK TO NISSAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE LIGHT CONNECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I WENT TO MY MECHANIC AGAIN AND ANOTHER REPAIR PLACE, BOTH AFFIRMED THAT LIGHTS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION, ISSUES RELATED WITH RPM OR THE CAR STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THERE IS A ENGINE CODE ON WHICH SHOWS THE PART THAT I JUST CHANGED AT NISSAN. NOW I AM CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY BECAUSE IF I STOP AT AN INTERSECTION THE CAR SOMETIMES WON'T MOVE, PEOPLE START TO HONK AT ME. IN ADDITION IT CAN BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE IN AN INTERSECTION YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE YOUR CAR QUICKLY.
