Crash: 1

Injuries: 1

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT THAT OLD. IT'S FLASHING IN A PATTERN. I PURCHASED THE BEST EXTENDED WARRANTY AND BECAUSE AIRBAGS USUALLY DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER IT. I HAVEN'T BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO BE ON. IT'S ALWAYS ON.

SEAT BELTS

4 complaints

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT WILL NOT STAY CLICKED. TOOK TO AUTO REPAIR PLACE AND THEY SAID IT WAS BROKEN. WOULD LIKE TO REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR AS THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS FOR FAULTY SEATBELTS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN SEATBELT STOPPED WORKING.

Nov 27, 2019

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT SOMETIMES DOESN'T LATCH AND SOMETIMES WON'T LATCH. THERE WAS A RECALL #15V501000 IN 2015 FOR THE SEAT BELT LATCH WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THEY SAID THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON THE SEAT BELT. BUT I COULD BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD WORK ON IT, OF COURSE THE MILEAGE IS TOO HIGH TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

1 complaint

It is very easy to mistake turning on the wipers by turning off the lights while driving at night. This is very dangerous if performed at night. There is no lighting on the right or left function arms. This mistake has happened to all 4 drivers in my household. It should seriously be looked into as a safety recall.

STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

1 complaint

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED 22 TIMES. ISSUES RANGED FROM COMPUTER TO STEERING ISSUES. ON MORE THAN 1 OCCASION, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING REPAIRED FOR THREE WEEKS OF MORE IN A SINGLE MONTH. DURING A RECENT ROAD TRIP, THE VEHICLE WAS HARD TO CONTROL ON THE ROAD; THE STEERING WOULD DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE LANE DURING TURNS, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND COULD NOT DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MY STEERING WHEEL IS NOT STRAIGHT, EVEN AFTER THE RECENT WHEEL ALIGNMENT WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THAT I DID NOT HAVE CAMBERS INSTALLED ON THE FRONT END. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEVER ASSISTED ME, AND NOW NISSAN IS OFFERING TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE, BUT WOULD LIKE FOR ME TO PAY THEM $18K. I AND MY FAMILY ARE COMPLETED EXHAUSTED WITH THIS MATTER, ESPECIALLY AFTER OUR TRIP THAT SHOULD HAVE TAKEN 20 HOURS TOOK US 26 HOURS, DUE TO THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE. WHENEVER I HAVE TO DRIVE SOMEWHERE IT MUST BE A SHORT DISTANCE, SINCE I HAVE NO TRUST THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION, DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. ALSO WHENEVER DRIVING, MY HANDS ARE ALWAYS SHAKING, SINCE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, I DO HAVE ALL OF THE REPAIR RECORDS TO PROVE THE ISSUES, AND REPAIRS DONE TO THIS VEHICLE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

1 complaint

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IS NOT SECURE AGAINST THE HEAD LINER WHEN IN THE UP POSITION. ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT, THE VISOR MOVES QUITE A BIT. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH IT MAY DROP DOWN IN FRONT OF THE OPERATOR IF A LARGE ENOUGH BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT IS ENCOUNTERED. THE VISOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND IT IS STILL NECESSARY TO INSERT A FOLDED NAPKIN/CLOTH BETWEEN THE VISOR AND THE HEADLINER TO KEEP IT STATIONARY. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE HAS 1375 MILES ON IT. I FIRST NOTICED THE VISOR MOVEMENT ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP (AFTER PURCHASING IT (NEW)). I'M CONCERNED THE CONSTANT MOVEMENT WILL EVENTUALLY ALLOW THE VISOR TO (UNEXPECTEDLY) DROP DOWN FROM THE UP POSITION OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF HIM/HER. I AM WORKING WITH NISSAN TO GET THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
