2014 NISSAN NV200 Complaints

ON-GOING ISSUE. PASSENGER'S AIR BAG WARNING THAT THE AIRBAG IS "OFF" IS LIT WHEN MY SPOUSE IS IN THE SEAT. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, BUT OCCURS CLOSE TO 50% OF THE TIME. THE FIRST TIME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE NISSAN SHOP, THE TECH SAID THAT "HE COULD REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM" AND THAT IT WAS RESOLVED BY "RESETTING THE COMPUTER". THE SECOND TIME IN THE SHOP, WE WERE TOLD THAT MY WIFE'S WEIGHT, ~100 LBS, WAS BORDERLINE FOR THE SENSOR AND THAT WE SHOULD EXPECT THE OBSERVED INTERMITTENT BEHAVIOR. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO SUPPLY ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE DOT GUIDANCE ON THE PASSENGER'S WEIGHT AT WHICH THE AIR BAG SHOULD BE DISABLED.

PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW WEAR ON TIRES FRONT VERY BAD ROTATED TIRES AT 5000 MILES REAR TIRES AND FRONT TIRES WEAR RATE AT 17000 MILES HAD TO REPLACE TIRES AT THREE MONTHS AND 17000 MILES TIRE PRESSURE NORMAL OPERATING PRESSURES AND TEMPERTURES

VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE TRAVELING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN STEPPING DOWN ON ACCELERATOR. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST THREE (3) WEEKS AND AT LEAST A HALF-DOZEN TIMES IN THE LAST TWO (2) MONTHS. THIS VEHICLE IS A 2014 NISSAN NV200 TAXI S 2WD. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO MY GARAGE MECHANICS WHO ARE BAFFLED AND TURNED OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP (KOEPPEL NISSAN, LONG ISLAND CITY, NY) WHO ARE ALSO BAFFLED. BOTH MY GARAGE MECHANICS AND THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT KOEPPEL STATE THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING AND TROUBLESOME PROBLEM FLEET WIDE WITH THIS MODEL BUT NISSAN HAS YET EITHER NOT COMPLETELY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM OR DEVELOPED AN ADEQUATE FIX.

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN AN ADULT IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. NOT SURE IF THAT MEANS NO AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CASA NISSAN, WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED, IN EL PASO, TX WITH THE COMPLAINT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN NV200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

WE BOUGHT OUR NV200 IN JULY BRAND NEW AND TODAY WE NOTICED THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES ARE EXTREMELY WORN WITH VIRTUALLY NO TREAD. THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS PERFECT. WE'VE BEEN READING ONLINE THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A SYSTEMIC ISSUE AS THERE ARE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS THE TIRES ARE SHOWING METAL AND WORN OUT BY 17,000 MILES. OUR DRIVERS ARE AT EXTREME RISK. *TR
