NISSAN LOWER LINK Complaints

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2007 NISSAN XTERRA IS INACCURATE AND NOT RELIABLE. THE OBD-II ERROR CODE INDICATES THE FAULT IS WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER UNIT. SYMPTOMS INCLUDE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT (MIL) ILLUMINATED MOST OF THE TIME, FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING TANK, AND REMAINS THERE FOR AT LEAST TWO DAYS BEFORE SLOWING RISING TO INDICATE APPROXIMATE FUEL LEVEL. BECAUSE IT IS APPROXIMATE, I CANNOT RELY ON THE FUEL GAUGE TO INDICATE WHEN THE TANK NEEDS TO BE REFILLED. THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC EVENT LEADING TO THIS FAILURE; IT HAPPENED ONE DAY AFTER FILLING MY TANK WITH REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE, AND HAS PERSISTED THROUGH AT LEAST SIX TANKS FULL OF GAS.. AND I DRIVE ONLY 25 MILES PER DAY, FIVE DAYS PER WEEK.

THE SUNROOF ON MY 2010 NISSAN MURANO EXPLODED AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD THIS PAST MONDAY. I HAVE BEEN CALLING AND SPEAKING WITH ALIZE, WHO REFUSED TO GIVE ME HER LAST NAME OR EMPLOYEE ID. HER PHONE NUMBER IS 615-725-7000 AND SHE SD SHE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME OUT AND NISSAN CANNOT HELP ME WITH ANY EXPENSES, SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I CALLED MY INSURANCE AND THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ADVISED ME TO CALL NISSAN BECAUSE IT IS AN MUNUFACTURING DEFECT!!!! I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THESE CARS ARE STILL BEING SOLD IF YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE DEFECIVE PARTS ON CAR... THE EXPLOSION SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOOT, MY 5 YR. OLD AND I WERE TERRIFFED!!! WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A ACCIDENT, WE COULD OF DIED! I EVEN HAD TO PULL MY CAR OVER FOR A FEW MINUTES JUST TO PULL MYSELF TOGETHER.... ANYWAYS I AM EXTREMELY DISSAPPOINTED IN NISSAN NOT WANTING TO HELP ME COVER THESE EXPENSES. IVE BEEN RESEARCHING ONLINE AND I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF CASES JUST LIKE MINE, THIS IS OBVOUSLY AN ONGOING ISSUE, WHY HASNT IT BEEN FIXED?! I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR OVER A WEEK ALREADY. I TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIDNT EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR, THEY ALSO ADVISED ME TO CALL NISSAN. ITS LIKE EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT THIS DEFECT BUT NOONE WANT TO HELP. ALL I WANT IS MY CAR TO BE FIXED!!!!! ITS A $1500 EXPENSE, WHICH IS SOMETHING I CANNOT AFFORD RIGHT NOW. I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE READS THIS MESSAGE AND HELPS ME OUT, I NEED A CAR SO I CAN GET TO WORK, SO I CAN TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. I DONT WANT TO TAKE THIS CASE ANYFURTHER BUT I AM WILLING TO KEEP PUSHING UNTILL SOMEONE HEARS ME. I COULD OF KILLED MYSELF, GOT IN AN ACCIDENT, KILLED SOMENE ELSE, HEARING THAT TERRIFYING NOISE ABOVE MY HEAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING WAS ONE OF THE SCARIES THINGS I EVER EXPERIENCED. I AM EXTREMLEY DISSAPPOINED IN NISSAN NOT WANTING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILTY, I THINK YOU SHOULD ATLEASE HELP COVER EXENSES FOR REPAIR AND RENTAL CAR SO I WONT LOSE MY JOB! AND THIS EQUIPMENT WAS NOT INSTALLED AFTER PURCHASE

I PURCHASED MY USED NISSAN ARMADA IN 04/14. BEFORE I MADE MY FIRST CAR PAYMENT, THE HEAT AND DEFROST COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO NALLEY TOYOTA STONECREST WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. NALLEY NISSAN STONECREST TOOK MY VEHICLE TO NALLEY NISSAN DECATUR FOR REPAIRS THAT I HAD TO PAY $300-$400 FOR. AFTER ABOUT 2 DAYS OR SO MY VEHICLE WAS COMPLETED. THE HEAT AND THE DEFROST SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE FOR ABOUT A MONTH. THEN THE HEAT AND DEFROST BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN, VERY INTERMITTENTLY. I CALLED NALLEY NISSAN DECATUR TO SCHEDULE A APPOINTMENT. HOWEVER, EVERY TIME I RETURNED THE VEHICLE THE HEAT AND DEFROST WOULD BE WORKING. CURRENTLY, MY VEHICLE IS BACK IN THE SAME POSITION FROM WHICH IT STARTED. NO HEAT, NO DEFROST. ON 07/27/2015, I RETURNED MY VEHICLE TO NALLEY NISSAN DECATUR FOR THE SAME ISSUE THAT HAD SUPPOSEDLY BEEN FIXED LAST YEAR. AFTER 4 HOURS OF WAITING. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SEEMED TO THINK THAT PROBLEM WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST FIX, WHICH OF COURSE COST MORE MONEY TO FIX. TODAY, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC. AFTER AND STRENUOUS DIAGNOSTIC. HE DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT NALLEY NISSAN DECATUR, SUPPOSEDLY FIX THE FIRST TIME (BLEND ACTUATOR DOORS). NOW, MY PROBLEM IS WHEN I AM DRIVING ON A HUMID DAY OR AT NIGHT THE WINDOWS FOG UP, (ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT). BECAUSE THERE IS NO DEFROST THE WINDOWS CAN BE CLEARED UP. AT 90 DEGREES THERE IS ONLY COLD AIR BLOWING ON THE WIND SHIELD, WHICH ADDS FROST TO THE WINDOWS , MAKING IT HARD TO SEE. THE SAME DISTORTION HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC'S LIGHTS INTERFERE WITH ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD. I AM TEMPORARILY BLINDED UNTIL THE OTHER VEHICLE PASSES. THIS IN ITSELF IS A SAFETY HAZZARD. NOT ONLY IS MY LIFE IN JEOPARDY, BUT THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY. THE COLD SEASON IS APPROACHING QUICKLY AND I DON'T WANT TO BE WITHOUT HEAT OR DEFROST. MY MECHANIC INFORMED OF THE COST BEING AROUND $1500 JUST FOR THE LABOR. WOW...

PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED DOCUMENTATION IN REGARDS TO MY MAINTENANCE REPORTS FROM BAKER NISSAN (19630 NORTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77065 (281) 890-5656) AND TOM PEACOCK NISSAN (15300 NORTH FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77090 (281) 821-4000). MY CAR HAS ALSO BEEN SERVICED BY MOSSY NISSAN (12150 KATY FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77079 (281) 589-5300) IN THE PAST. THIS CAR HAS GIVEN ME NUMEROUS PROBLEMS AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TWICE (REPLACED THE FIRST TIME AT BAKER NISSAN NORTH AND THE SECOND TIME AT TOM PEACOCK NISSAN) PICKED UP VEHICLE ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 6TH FROM TOM PEACOCK NISSAN. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE 2ND TIME. AC ISSUES - BLOWING HOT AIR THEN COOL AIR. DROPPED MY CAR OFF AT BAKER NISSAN TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC TEST. STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN - NOTICED THIS ISSUE YESTERDAY EVENING AND THIS MORNING. STARTED HAVING THIS ISSUE AFTER I PICKED MY VEHICLE UP FROM TOM PEACOCK NISSAN. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND IT SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING ALL THIS ISSUES.

DRIVING ON A CLEAR DAY (50DEGREES) ON SATURDAY APRIL 25TH, MY 2012 NISSAN MURANO'S SUNROOF EXPLODED. THE GLASS WAS PROTRUDING OUTWARD, AS IF IT EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THERE WAS SHARDS OF GLASS EVERYWHERE AND LUCKILY THERE WERE NO ONCOMING CARS BECAUSE THE SOUND IT MADE INSIDE THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED CAUSED ME TO SWERVE A LITTLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN MURANO AND AS I WAS DRIVING THE SEAT BROKE CAUSING ME TO ALMOST SLIDE OFF THE SEAT. I CALLED NISSAN TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST ME $1500.00. I DECIDED TO GO HOME AND CHECK IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY RECALL ON THIS PART AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE LETTER AFTER LETTER FROM NISSAN MURANO OWNER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS I FEEL IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL FROM THE DEALER.SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET REALLY HURT IF THEY ARE RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES AN HOUR AND THE SEAT BREAKS. I HOPE BY WRITING TO YOU THIS CAN BE AVOIDED. *TR

THERE IS A PERSON DRIVING AN ILLEGAL JAPANESE VEHICLE AND I AM WORRIED THAT SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY REGISTERED OR EPA TESTED THAT IT MAY SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. JUST LOOKING TO REPORT THIS TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES. *JS

BOTH FOBS (CAR KEYS) WENT BAD ON MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO, UNABLE TO LOCK AND OPEN DOORS USING THE FOB. I HAD TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE FOB TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. AT NIGHT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE CASE IN THE DARK. REPLACED BATTERIES IN THE FOB AND DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. ON JANUARY 22, 2014 I MAILED A LETTER TO NISSAN OF AMERICA ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE NEW FOB I HAD TO PURCHASE. NISSAN WAS UNABLE TO OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FOB AS THE VEHICLE BEING OUTSIDE OF THE NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY. AS I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN TO NISSAN THAT A CAR KEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THESE FOBS ARE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS I UNDERSTAND REPLACING A BATTERY BUT NOT THE ENTIRE FOB. THE COST OF ONE FOB WAS $239.61. *TR

BOUGHT 2013 ALTIMA IN FEB. IN MARCH NOTICED THE PASSENGER LIGHT WAS ON WHEN SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. FOLLOWED BY ON AND OFF FREQUENTLY. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER.....SAID HE FOUND SENSOR WAS BAD. ON NOV. 5,2013 IT HAPPENED AND RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT SHOWED NO ERRORS. TOLD ME IT WAS SAFE BUT IF THE LIGHT CAME ON TAKE A PICTURE. IT CAME ON TWICE ON 11/8/2013. I AM AT A LOSS OF WHAT TO DO OTHER THAN HOLD NISSAN LIBEL FOR NOT FIXING AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. I WILL RETURN TO THE DEALER LATER THIS WEEK IN NOVEMBER 2013. HOW CAN WE GET NISSAN TO REACT TO OUR PROTECTION ON AN OBVIOUS COMPLAINT FROM SO MANY OWNERS? *TR

NISSAN HAS A UNIVERSAL PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 AND 2006 XTERRAS AND PATHFINDERS FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ASAP. *TR
