WHINE NOISE COMING UP THE HILL, DANGEROUS LIMP MODE OCCASIONALLY OUT OF NOWHERE, HIGH RPM ALMOST RED WHEN CHANGING GEARS. COMPLAINT TO DEALER THEY SAY NO CODES FROM SYSTEM AND NO RECALLS YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. ALSO, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING AND WERE INTERMITTENT. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE.

MY DAUGHTER TURNED OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND TRAVELED ABOUT 75 YARDS AND SHE SAYS THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON CAUSING HER TO LOSE CONTROL AND HIT A DRIVEWAY CULVERT. SHE WAS ONLY UP TO ABOUT 35 MPH AT THE TIME OF THE ISSUE ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD...UPDATED 06/06/17 *BF *AS

I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON THE FREEWAY BUT CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING, ONLY STAYING AT THE SAME SPEED. I KEPT TRYING AND THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE SO I HAD TO KEEP THE THROTTLE FULLY DEPRESSED TO MAINTAIN SPEED. VERY SCARY

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) "FROM OWNERS MANUAL" AFTER IGNITION SWITCH IS PLACED IN THE "ON" POSITION, THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATES FOR ABOUT 7 SECONDS AND TURNS OFF OR REMAINS ILLUMINATED DEPENDING ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPIED STATUS. *UNOCCUPIED FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT: THE LIGHT IS OFF AND THE FRONT AIR BAG IS OFF. AND WILL NOT INFLATE IN A CRASH. ON MY VEHICLE THE LIGHT REMAINS ON CONSTANTLY EVEN WHEN UNOCCUPIED, IT DOES NOT TURN OFF AS STATED. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN OWNERS, IT IS APPARENT THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM AND JUST CREATES ARGUMENT OVER THE STATUS OF THE LIGHT EVEN WHEN SHOWN THE OWNERS MANUAL ON THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING AND ANNOYING WITH THIS BRIGHT YELLOW LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH, CONSTANTLY ON, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE. THE LIGHT COMES ON FROM THE TIME YOU START THE CAR UNTIL YOU TURN THE CAR OFF, EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY SAY IT IS WORKING IF THE LIGHT REMAINS ON EVEN WHEN THE FRONT SEAT IS UNOCCUPIED. THAT IS NOT WHAT THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES, NOR IS IT WHAT OTHER NISSAN OWNERS HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT. THE LIGHT SHOULD NOT STAY ON WHEN THE SEAT IS UNOCCUPIED.

WHEN PASSENGERS SIT IN FRONT SEAT, INTERMITTENTLY THE AIRBAG LIGHTS GOES ON AND OFF. DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAG IS REALLY GOING TO WORK WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO. TAKEN TO DEALER AND THEY SAY NOTHING WRONG, BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WHEN 200 POUND PERSON SITTING THERE AND THE AIRBAG SAYS IT IS TURNED OFF. DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. TELLS ME THE CAR IS SAFE. I DON'T FEEL IT IS SAFE AND NOW FEEL I HAVE TO TAKE PICTURE OF AIRBAG NOTIFICATION WHEN DRIVING JUST IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT TO PROTECT MYSELF. SHOULDN'T HAVE TO HAVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS SAFETY FEATURES THAT DON'T WORK PROPERLY. THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM OCCURS WHETHER THE CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT RUNNING WHEN THE PASSENGER GETS IN.
