First, the cvt blew on a 70mph highway. Got that fixed, Nissan North America and mentor Nissan helped. Nna paid 70% of a transmission. They are also reimbursing me for towing. Then, I have video proof, that after the recall, the OCS light is on while I have passengers in the car. Lastly, rear suspension arm rusting out (photo proof). This car is no longer safe to drive! the whole car should be recalled!

Cvt transmission shutters, slips and shuts down the engine when stopping. Diagnostic was performed at dealership and resulted in bad transmission. Also passenger airbag deactivates intermittently even while someone is sitting

My air bag light stays on in my dash. Went to my local dealer to find out an old code B0020-13 was detected. They found everything to be fine, so they reset the code. The air bag light came back on two days later, and the same code came on again. They recommended a replacement of the side air bag module under the driver seat to repair the concern. They want to charge me $1600 for parts and labor, and what's worse, the sop part is on back order with no eta. So I asked the dealer what I am supposed to do, and if the car is safe to drive" he suggested that I shouldn't drive the car, but the part is not readily available any where in the United States? what kind of garbage is that? they offered me no solution to my problem, and I don't have another car to drive, and they can't even tell me when the part will become available???? does this mean that this problem is a problem all across the country, because why don't they have the part available" this is a safety issue!!!! if I were to get in a accident, then the side air bag would not deploy!!

We have not had any accident and the air bag lights came on. The vehicle was not moving. We turned it on in the morning and it came up. We did not know what it was at first until my husband friend informed it that it was the air bag about 2 days later when he sent him a picture.

On occasion when passenger enters vehicle, air bag indicator light does not go out giving the appearance that the vehicle does not think a passenger is in the vehicle. Typically occurs when passenger is entering vehicle at the same time the vehicle is being started. Can usually be 'resolved' by turning vehicle off and on again. Has occurred multiple times.

1) frontal passenger air bag. It always says off, even when there's a passenger. I'm not sure whether this is a takata inflator. (this occurs every time all the time when the engine is running, wether idleing, drive, neutral and reverse) 2) headlights. The headlights (both) continually get dimmer and dimmer until you are unable to see causing a very dangerous situation. (this occurs every time all the time when the engine is running, wether idleing, drive, neutral and reverse)I have had or changed my light bulb(s) at least (6) times in the 16 months I have had the vehicle. I have been stopped by law inforcement several times and a livery driver I have had customer complaints.

The air bag light came on showing the airbag for the driver is no longer working. I thought there was a recall on it since I have heard and read online this has been a common problem. Same with the engine light glitch I have read is a common problem which doesn't allow my car to accelerate properly when that light is on.

The airbag light comes on the dash and will not turn off. When the vehicle was brought to the dealership they stated the VIN was not included on the vehicle recall list although we are encountering the same issues. The issue occurs whether the car is still or in motion and whether the seat is occupied or not. It's not safe to have a passenger.
