MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING ON BANGERTER HIGHWAY IN SOUTH JORDAN, UTAH. FOR SOME REASON, THERE WAS A LATCH FAILURE ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR. THERE HAD BEEN NO WARNING, NO RATTLING OF THE HOOD, NO SHAKING ETC. THE HOOD SIMPLY FLEW UP AND SMASHED INTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS LEFT ME (I WAS DRIVING) WITH NO FRONTAL VISION. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY; BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW I DID THAT. THE WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED (GLASS SHARDS ALL OVER US), THE HINGES ON THE HOOD BENT AND CAUSED A GASH IN THE FENDER ON EACH SIDE, THE HOOD WAS DENTED, AND THE TOP OF THE CAR NEAR THE WINDSHIELD WAS ALSO DENTED. I CAN NOT DETERMINE ANYTHING I COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY WHICH WOULD HAVE SAVED ME THIS AWFUL SITUATION. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM GROCERY STORE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO MEINEKE TO HAVE CODE DETERMINED. STORE MANAGER CHECKED MY CAR FOR CODE, HE FOUND CODE IS 007 AND IT WILL COST ME OVER $400 TO REPAIR. I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE AUTO UNTIL IT GETS REPAIRED. THIS PART SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE WITH LOW MILEAGE AND AGE OF VEHICLE! HE SAID CAR WILL DISABLE IF I DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS IF IT DISABLES WHILE DRIVING! I HAVE DRS APPTS TO GO TO AND CANNOT BE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE IT! IS THIS A RECALL FOR THIS PART? IF I DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY AND I DIABLES, I WILL BE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I HAVE AN 18 MONTH OLD BABY IN HER CAR SEAT IF I GET REAR ENDED, SHE COULD BE KILLED! *TR

THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT OF THE CAR. IT WOULD SLOW DOWN, I HAD TO STOP, TURN IT OFF, WAIT, TURN IT BACK ON, DRIVE A LITTLE BIT, REPEAT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS, YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO DATE. WHEN YOU BUY A NEW CAR, THE KNOWN ISSUES AREN'T OUT YET BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN TIME ENOUGH TO GATHER ANY STATISTICS. THE DEALERSHIP NOR NISSAN CORPORATION WAS WILLING TO ASSIST US. WE PROVIDED SERVICE RECORDS AND THEY DEEMED THEM 'INSUFFICIENT' BECAUSE THE SERVICE WAS NOT PERFORMED THROUGH NISSAN. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT MANDATED THAT OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS BE COMPLETED AT THEIR SITE. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE OIL PUT INTO THE CAR MIGHT NOT BE MADE FOR A NISSAN VEHICLE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I'VE EVER HEARD OF AN OIL BEING MADE FOR A SPECIFIC BRAND OF CAR. THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T DUE TO BE SERVICED UNTIL BETWEEN 60,000 AND 70,000 MILES, AND WE HAD JUST TURNED 60,000 THE WEEK BEFORE. PLUS, ENGINE OIL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A TRANSMISSION, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENGINE. WE ARE STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THE CAR. IF WE PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS, AND ADD TO WHAT WE STILL OWE, NOW THE CAR COSTS MORE THAN WHAT WE BOUGHT IT FOR BRAND NEW. I'VE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THESE SAME ISSUES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

FAILING INSPECTION 2 YEARS IN A ROW DUE TO NON-COMMUNICATING OBD SENSOR . FIRST YEAR NISSAN DEALERSHIP "FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS YEAR A LOCAL SHOP FIXED IT AND STATED THAT MANY OF THE GROUNDS WERE LOOSE. THE SHOP WENT THOUGH ALL OF THE GROUNDS IN THE CAR. IN ORDER FOR THE OBD TO START COMMUNICATING AGAIN. THE MECHANIC WAS IN SPEAKING WITH A NISSAN DEALER AND THEY HINTED THAT THE CARS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE GROUNDING BUT THEY WOULD SAY THE WHOLE STORY. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR
