AIR BAGS
I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO THIS NEWEST RECALL NISSAN HAS ISSUES FOR CERTAIN VERSA SEDANS AND HATCHBACKS. YOU SEE, BOTH MY FRONT PASSENGER AND FRONT DRIVER (STEERING COLUMN) AIRBAGS BOTH HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL. NOW, THE SIDE AIR BAGS ARE BEGINNING TO SHOW UP ON THE RECALL LIST YET WHEN I ENTER MY VIN, IT SHOWS NO ACTIVE RECALLS. I'M NOT REALLY A BETTING WOMAN BUT I WILL SAY THAT IF MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER WERE REPLACED, WOULDN'T IT STAND TO REASON THAT THE SIDE AIRBAGS SHOULD PROBABLY BE INCLUDED IN THIS NEWEST RECALL NISSAN HAS PUT OUT? I GOT TWO SIDE AIRBAGS. ONE ON MY DRIVER AND ONE ON MY PASSENGER. AND I DON'T WANT LITTLE METAL FRAGMENTS EXPLODING IN MY FACE IF IMPACT COMES TO MY CAR. PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS IT CAN TAKE A WHILE FOR MY DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. YOU KNOW IF TWO OUT OF THE FOUR AIRBAGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED, CHANCES ARE THE OTHER TWO ARE NEXT.

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASE THE NISSAN VERSA 2015 IN SEPT. 2015, THE CAR WAS USED IT HAD 15,000 MILES ON IT. I TEST DROVE IT A LITTLE BIT WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE IT OFF I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING UP BEFORE I GOT OFF THE STOCKTON DEALERSHIP. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY TEST DROVE IT. THEY SAID YES THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND REPLACE IT. NOW, I AM THINKING BACK, THE DEALERSHIP KNEW THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP CONVINCED ME TO GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM THINKING WHY IS A BRAND NEW CAR WITH 15,000 MILES ON IT.. SO, IT TOOK ABOUT A MONTH TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND IT DROVE OK. THEN IN 2017, I NOTICED A SMALL SLIPPING NOISE, LIKE A SMALL DRUMROLL EVERY NOW AND THEN. THEN FINALLY I TOOK THE CAR TO OAKLAND DEALERSHIP IN 2017 AROUND 88,000 MILES. THEY COULDN'T LOCATE THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OR NOISE. IN A FEW DAYS, I PICK UP THE CAR AND AS SOON AS I DROVE IT I HEAR THE SLIPPING DRUMROLL SOUND. I TOOK IT BACK AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID WE TESTED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE. I WAS DISCOURAGED WITH THE RESULTS, NOW IT JAN 2019, MANY MONTHS LATER, AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND EXPIRED WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, MORE FREQUENT LOUD DRUMROLL NOISE AND SHAKING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. I LOOKED IT UP ON GOOGLE AND I NOTICED THAT NISSAN DOUBLED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THEIR TRANSMISSION. TODAY, I WENT TO THE OAKLAND DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY NISSAN VERSA IS NOT UNDER THAT EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOW CAN THIS BE? THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND FAILURES ABOUT THE NISSAN TRANSMISSION. NISSAN AND DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE VERSA. RIGHT NOW, I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE STREET BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL AN ANY GIVEN TIME AND DRIVING CONDITION. PLEASE RECALL ALL NISSAN VERSA AND HAVE THE COMPANY FIX THIS RECURRING TRANSMISSION ISSUE.

MY CAR JERKS WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE. ALSO, WHEN I LET PUSH FOR THE GAS, IT JERKS. THIS IS WHEN I FIRST GET OFF THE GAS. THEN WHEN I GET TO FOURTY MILES, IT JERKS AGAIN. MY MALFUNCTION LAMP LIGHT COMES ON. I TOOK IT AT ONE OF THE AUTO ZONES IN FAYETTEVILLE NC. THE ASSOCIATE CHECK IT WITH A MACHINE. IT CAME UP P285A CLUTCH B PRESSURE DISENGAGEMENT PERFORMANCE. THEN, I TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. HE CHECKED IT WITH HIS MACHINE, HE SAID IT IS MY TRANSMISSION. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD FIX MY TRANSMISSION.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PRIOR TO BEING APART OF THE TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL, I DID NOT REALIZE THAT CITIZENS COULD REPORT ERRONEOUS AND DANGEROUS PART FAILURES IN THEIR AUTOMOBILES PRIOR TO A DANGEROUS INCIDENT. HAVING GONE THROUGH THE TAKATA RECALL, I AM NOW A MORE AWARE CONSUMER AND WANT TO REPORT AN INCIDENT INVOLVING FAILING DOOR ASSEMBLIES ON NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK'S. THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED ON MY 2010 NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK SEVERAL YEARS AFTER OWNERSHIP. IT IS UNCLEAR IF THIS HAPPENED DURING OR AFTER DRIVING, BUT IT WAS DISCOVERED WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER FOR THE HATCH BACK DOOR IN THE REAR TO OPEN. THE UNLOCK SIGNAL EVEN WHEN THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED IS NOT BEING SENT TO THE TAILGATE. A FAILURE TO DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE HIGH-QUALITY DOOR LATCH IS NOT A CONSUMER OR CUSTOMER ERROR. ADDITIONALLY, OTHER AUTO COMPANY'S LIKE FORD HAVE RECALLED THEIR DOOR ASSEMBLIES, BECAUSE ANY WEAKNESS IN A DOOR ASSEMBLY CAN CAUSE THE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND POSES A RISK TO THE PASSENGERS OR DRIVERS. FORD STATED THAT "SHOULD A CUSTOMER BE ABLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR WITH THESE CONDITIONS, THE DOOR MAY APPEAR CLOSED, BUT THE LATCH MAY NOT FULLY ENGAGE THE DOOR STRIKER WITH THE POTENTIAL THAT THE DOOR COULD OPEN WHILE DRIVING, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY." THE NHTSA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE NISSAN ACTUATOR ISSUE. IT IS A RISK FOR PEOPLE RIDING AND DRIVING NISSANS AND ALSO A LIABILITY TO THE COMPANY.

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHICH CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS WHEN TRAFFIC IS UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN WHEN NISSAN SLOWS DOWN AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. APPEARS THAT 2014 HAD A RECALL BUT THAT RECALL IS NOT HONORED FOR 2013 NISSAN VERSA. A 5 YEAR OLD CAR NEEDS A TRANSMISSION BEFORE THE CAR IS EVEN PAID OFF
