Description of the problem | Problem one-the airbag off light is on when a 200 plus pound occupant is in the front passenger seat. The recall has been performed and is continuing to fail. It has happened 4 times after the recall was performed. 3 times caught on film/ video and forwarded to the dealer and manufacturer. Nissan sent an engineer to ride with me on 7/31/2014 and blamed the government for the failure. He said that nissan sets up the parameters based on the government guidelines and if the light is on and airbag is off that is because it needs to be on and disabled. Call me crazy but that sounds like horse crap and deflection to me. I can forward you the videos if you would like. Problem two- the cvt transmission started shuddering around 2200 miles and is continually getting worse. They performed a software update and said that should solve the problem. It has continually gotten worse. The nissan engineer rode with me on 7/31/2014 and said that he felt the shudder and that it was a cost of achieving cafa standards and was acceptable. He stated that when most customers are told that the shudder is there because of fuel economy they accept it and are satisfied. He implied that i was just being difficult and hard to please. I informed him that i would not have purchased the vehicle if that was the way it drove at the test drive and expressed that it was constantly getting worse and he dismissed the claim. |
