NISSAN 999R5-AR000 Complaints

MANY TIMES WHEN DRIVING ON INTERSTATES AT NIGHT, I SEE NEWER MODEL VEHICLES DRIVING OBLIVIOUSLY WITH ONLY THEIR DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS / LED LIGHTS ON. THERE ARE NO TAIL LIGHTS ON AT ALL, AND THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I'VE SEEN THIS IS A PARTICULAR PROBLEM WITH NISSAN MODELS, SUCH AS THE NISSAN ROGUE AND INFINITI Q30. THE DRIVER DOES NOT REALIZE THAT THEIR LIGHTS ARE OFF, AS THE DASH CLUSTER IS FULLY ILLUMINATED DESPITE THE HEADLIGHTS BEING "OFF". MY OWN VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM - IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE "OFF", THE DASH CLUSTER IS DARK, THEREFORE IT IS OBVIOUS TO THE DRIVER THAT THE HEADLIGHTS NEED TO BE TURNED ON. I'VE ALSO SEEN THIS AFFECTING OTHER CARS SUCH AS THE TOYOTA PRIUS AND FORD MUSTANG, BUT THE NISSANS ARE BY FAR THE MOST FREQUENT. ONCE I TOLD SOMEONE IN A PARKING LOT THAT HER TAIL LIGHTS WERE OFF AND SHE HAD NO IDEA - SHE WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THEY WERE AUTOMATIC DESPITE BEING SWITCHED "OFF" BECAUSE THERE WAS ILLUMINATION AHEAD OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE DASH CLUSTER WAS ILLUMINATED. I HOPE THAT NHSTA WILL TAKE THIS CONCERN SERIOUSLY AS I AM SURE THIS DESIGN FLAW IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS. THANK YOU.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ABOUT 07:30AM CT. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND HEAR A VERY LOUD BANG AND HEAR GLASS. I THOUGHT SOMEONE HIT ME BUT DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING. LOOKED IN MY MIRRORS, CARS GOING BY ME AND REALIZED I WAS NOT HIT. THEN I THOUGHT SOMEONE SHOT MY CAR. I CONTINUED TO HEAR GLASS BUT DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. VERY SHAKEN UP NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I PULLED OFF ON THE NEXT EXIT AND FOUND MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THE GLASS FLYING OUT (HWY SPEED) CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE PAINT ON THE ROOF AND TRUNK OF MY CAR. I CALLED NISSAN DEALER WHO SUGGESTED I CALL CORPORATE. CORPORATE SAID TO BRING CAR TO DEALER. DEALER CHECKED VENTS SAID THEY WERE CLEAR. SERVICE MANAGER AS WELL AS A COUPLE SERVICE PEOPLE CAME OUT TO TALK TO ME AND TOLD ME THIS IS DEFINATELY A NISSAN DEFECT AND THE SUNROOF AND PAINT WOULD BE COVERED. AFTER A FEW DAYS WITH NO WORD I WENT TO THE DEALER (THEY DID GIVE ME A COURTESY VEHICLE). WHEN I WENT TO CHECK ON MY CAR THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE SUNROOF WAS IN. I AGAIN TOLD HIM I NEED TO KNOW IF ALL INCLUDING PAINT IS COVERED. I HAD OPENED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE BEFORE I CALLED NISSAN AND I DID NOT CLOSE THAT CLAIM UNTIL I KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. NISSAN WENT AHEAD AND PUT IN THE SUNROOF. TOLD ME AGAIN PAINT WOULD BE COVERED. TWICE THEY SAID IT WAS DONE. TWICE REFUSED BECAUSE PAINT WAS NOT TOUCHED. NISSAN DEALER THEN SAID THAT NISSAN WILL PAY $1000 TOWARDS THE $1230 SUNROOF AND WILL NOT COVER PAINT. CALLED CORPORATE BACK WHO SENT TO REGIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHO DENIED ANY CLAIM WITH MY CAR. I HAD TO PAY THE $230 AND BRING TO AUTOBODY SHOP FOR PAINT REPAIR. WITH ANOTHER DEDUCTIBLE. NO CAR NOW FOR 3 WEEKS.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON I-5 FROM PORTLAND, OR TO MY HOME IN WASHINGTON THE FRONT PART OF MY SUNROOF SHATTERED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE WAS AN EXPLOSIVE SOUND BEFORE SHARDS OF GLASS RAINED DOWN ON THE INSIDE OF MY CAR. MY SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME BUT THE SHADE PART WAS OPEN. SOME OF THE SHARDS MEASURED APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES IN LENGTH. IT WAS A NICE SUNNY DAY OUT AND THE APPROXIMATE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WAS 6:00 PM. THERE WERE NO OVERPASSES IN THE VICINITY WHERE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. I WAS NOT TRAVELING NEAR ANY DUMP TRUCKS OR OTHER VEHICLES THAT WAS CARRYING ANY CARGO. I COULD FIND NO EVIDENCE OF FLYING DEBRIS TO CAUSE THE GLASS TO SHATTER. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA AND WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $1,311.00 PLUS TAXES TO REPLACE THE SHATTERED GLASS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND WAS ABLE TO GET OVER FROM THE 2ND LANE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO DEAL WITH THE LARGE AMOUNTS OF SHATTERED GLASS THAT WAS FOUND IN BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK SEATS OF MY CAR. IT WAS A VERY UNNERVING SITUATION TO BE IN AND I DID LOOK TO IF SEE ANY OTHER DRIVERS IN THE AREA APPEARED TO BE EFFECTED BY MY SUNROOF SHATTERING. I DID NOT SEE EVIDENCE THAT ANY OTHER DRIVERS WERE EFFECTED BY MY SUNROOF SHATTERING. I DID TAKE SEVERAL PHOTOS OF THE SHATTERED GLASS FOR MY RECORDS. I HAVE KEPT LARGER FRAGMENTS OF THE SHATTERED GLASS FOR EVIDENTIARY PURPOSES BECAUSE I WILL BE SENDING A DEMAND LETTER TO NISSAN TO COVER THE COST BASED ON PREVIOUS REPORTS I HAVE JUST NOW FOUND OUT ABOUT. I DON'T FEEL MY MURANO IS SAFE TO DRIVE KNOWING THAT THE SUNROOF MAY EXPLODE AGAIN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. MY CAR IS FINANCED AND I HAVE 3 YEARS LEFT ON THE LOAN SO I'M NOT ABLE TO TRADE IT IN FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. I WILL BE DRIVING WITH THE SHADE DRAWN ON MY SUNROOF SO I DON'T HAVE SHARDS OF GLASS RAINING DOWN ON ME AGAIN. THAT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING A SUNROOF BUT I MUST PUT SAFETY FIRST.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AT EXTREMELY SLOW SPEEDS MY CAR COMPLETELY TURNED ITSELF OFF AND WAS UNABLE TO START BACK UP FOR 15 MINUTES. DURING THIS TIME THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE ENTIRE CAR, THUS RESULTING IN HAVING TO UNLOCK MY DOOR MANUALLY AND CRAWL THROUGH THE BACK TO GET MY SON OUT. 2 MONTHS LATER MY CAR STARTED LOSING ALL POWER WHEN I STOPPED, ONCE AGAIN RESULTING IN HAVING TO MANUALLY UNLOCK MY CAR AND UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS BEHIND ME.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE TO HAVE IT CHECK. THE ERROR CODES READ P0463 FUEL LEVEL SENIOR HIGH INPUT (INCLUDES HYBRID MODELS) I UNDERSTAND THAT NISSAN HAD A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM WITH SEVEAL OF THERE AUTOS. BESIDE XTERRA'S. I WANT THEM TO FIX IT SINCE IT'S A RECALL. BUT CAN'T GET THRM TO DO IT.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT AS TO HOW A DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATION IS HANDLING A RECALL. A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IS USING AIRBAG RECALLS AS A WAY TO DRAW PEOPLE IN FOR UNNECESSARY SERVICES; WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO EVEN DO THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT REQUIRED. REED NISSAN IN ORLANDO, FL CONTACTED US VIA PHONE STATING THEY WOULD LIKE TO SCHEDULE AN AIRBAG RECALL REPAIR. WE AGREED AND SET UP A TIME AND DATE. WHEN THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN, THE SERVICE PERSONNEL AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD ONLY PERFORM AN OIL CHANGE (WHICH WAS NOT REQUESTED BY US) AND THAT AN AIRBAG REPLACEMENT PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING OF 2018. THEIR ADVICE TO US WAS TO NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT UNTIL THEN. I FEEL THIS IS DEPLORABLE BEHAVIOR THAT REQUIRES SOME INVESTIGATION ON THE PART OF NISSAN CORPORATE AND PERHAPS THE NHTSA. WHEN DEALERSHIPS ABUSE RECALL NOTICES TO DRAW CONSUMERS IN FOR UNNECESSARY MAINTENANCE/REPAIRS; IT HURTS THE PUBLIC'S CONFIDENCE IN THE RECALL PROCESS. WHY BOTHER PAYING ATTENTION TO RECALL NOTICES WHEN DEALERSHIPS AND CAR COMPANIES WON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE?

MAKE: NISSAN MODEL: TITAN 2006 LE COMPONENT: EXHAUST MANIFOLD I WAS MADE AWARE THAT MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. LOOKING ONLINE, OTHER USERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO REPLACE THIS PART AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS EXHAUST FUMES ARE LEAKING INTO THE CAB AND I HAVE A BABY. THE COST TO FIX THIS ISSUE WOULD BE ALMOST $2000.00 WITH PARTS AND LABOR FOR A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

HAVE HAD MY CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME COMPLAINTS. AS OF YET NISSAN HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPAIR THE CAR CORRECTLY. NISSAN HAS REPLACED MY MASTER CYLINDER AND, ACCORDING TO THEM THE BRAKE BOOSTER SEVERAL TIMES. MY CAR CONTINUES TO BEHAVE THE SAME WAY IT HAS. IT HAS A NOISE FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL THAT IS LIKE A CREAKING NOISE. ALSO, WHEN AT A STOP WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED AND CONTINUOUS PRESSURE APPLIED, IT FEELS AS IF THE PEDAL LOSES PRESSURE, REQUIRING INCREASED FORCE TO MAINTAIN THEY STOP. WHEN TESTED IT WAS ON A FLAT SURFACE WITH NORMALLY MAINTAINED BLACKTOP. THIS IS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW.

BACKUP CAMERA IMAGE NOT CLEAR, 7" SCREEN (WITH NAVIGATION- 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SL) IS NOT CLEAR ENOUGH TO SAFELY SEE WHAT IS BEHIND THE CAR. THE CAMERA AND HEAD UNIT (DISPLAY, STEREO) HAVE BOTH BEEN REPLACED - NO CHANGE. MY GUESS IS THAT THE RESOLUTION IS NOT MATCHED TO THE DISPLAY SIZE, AS THE IMAGE IN THE 5" (NON NAV) IS OK; AND THERE ARE NO SETTINGS TO CHANGE.

I PURCHASE A NISSAN ALTIMA 2007 & IN 2013 I HAD TO CHANGE THE VEHICLE CVT TRANSMISSION. IT SUCKS AS THE VEHICLE JUST STOP WORKING. I HAD TO PAY ALL THE EXPENSES OUT OF POCKET. I READ SO MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED AS NISSAN COMPANY CAN NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS.
