TAKATA RECALL-IN EARLY 2017, WE REC'D A SAFETY RECALL FROM NISSAN NO. AMERICA RE: POTENTIAL RUPTURING OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR. THE MAILER SAID THAT NISSAN WAS WAITING FOR PARTS & SHOULD BE AVAIL. APRIL 2017. THE CAR WAS WITH OUR SON AT COLLEGE. WE TOLD HIM DO NOT DRIVE W- PASSENGER IN FRONT SEAT. SEPT 25, 2017, WE REC'D A 2ND NOTICE-STATING THAT PARTS WERE AVAIL TO REPAIR FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG + AN ADD'L RECALL 17V-449 WAS IN EFFECT FOR THE DRIVER SIDE, PARTS NOT AVAIL UNTIL SPRING 2018. WE WILL GET THE REPAIR DONE & THERE IS AN OPTION FOR GETTING A LOANER CAR, BUT FOR 9 MONTHS, OUR SON & OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR, NOT KNOWING THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WAS JUST AS DANGEROUS AS THE PASSENGER SIDE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW NISSAN (NHTSA) COULD NOT CONFIRM THE SAME ISSUE ON BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS & NOTIFY US OF THE DANGER BACK IN JAN 2017. WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT IN THIS CAR, BUT THE FACT THAT 9 MONTHS LATER WE ARE FINDING OUT THAT OUR SON, AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR AT ALL IS SHOCKING AND HORRIFYING.

WHEN I HAVE MORE THAN 1 PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE HESITATES; THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. THE CAR HESITATES AS IT STARTS MOVING AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DIDN'T PICK UP WHILE MAKING A TURN. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP RIGHT AWAY, AND THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THIS COST MORE THAN $3,000 AND A 5 YEAR VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE THE TRANSMISSION GO BAD, AND IT COULD HAVE KILLED US IF THE VEHICLES DIDN'T AVOID HITTING US ON THE ROAD WHEN IT STALLED.

I BROUGHT MY CAR(USED) IN NOVEMBER 2013, WITHIN 6 MONTHS JUNE 2014 I HAD TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION. FAST FORWARD 3 YEARS LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND TO MY SURPRISE THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. SINCE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRE I WAS QUOTED $4,000 TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. SO I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO SEE IF THEY COULD PROVIDE SOME TYPE OF ASSISTANCE AND THEY STATED THEIR WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT A TRANSMISSION SHOULDN'T BE GOING OUT EVERY 50,000 MILES.

VCT TRANSMISSION FAILURE, TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL WITH NO WARNING, THIS IS A DEADLY FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE TRANSMISSION, HUNDREDS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ATTEST TO THE NUMBER OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ON A MAJOR 4 LANE ROAD WE WERE ALMOST HIT BROADSIDE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED THE OTHER DRIVER SWERVED TO MISS US AND I HAD TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS IS A POTENTIAL DEADLY CONDITION. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WAITING ON TRAFFIC WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED I HIT THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR HESITATED AND SURGED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED IN THE TRAFFIC LANE WITH 65/70 MPH TRAFFIC COMING AT US. THE FIRST CAR SWERVED TO THE DITCH SIDE AND MISSED US THE REST OF THE TRAFFIC SAW WHAT HAPPENED AND STOPPED AND WENT AROUND. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS IN NISSAN VEHICLES ESPECIALLY WITH THE VCT TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS EVEN DEADLY PROBLEM THAT HAS PLAGUED NISSAN FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THEY HAVE RECALLED SEVERAL MAKES OF NISSAN FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY ISSUE AND REFUSE TO CORRECT THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, THIS PROBLEM IS POTENTIALLY AS BAD AS THE PINTO FIRES, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN A CVT NISSAN THAT WE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT MY WIFE AND I WERE JUST YARDS FROM DEATH BECAUSE OF THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND NISSAN NEEDS TO BE REMEDY THE SITUATION.

I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE FROM MANY PEOPLE. I ALSO READ THE MANUFACTURER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT ONLY UNTIL 2010!!! WHY???? THESE CARS ARE HAZARDOUS TO BE ON THE ROAD AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A LAWSUIT FILED!! THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHICH WAS DONE ON 8/25/17
