Seat Belts
THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT SOMETIMES DOESN'T LATCH AND SOMETIMES WON'T LATCH. THERE WAS A RECALL #15V501000 IN 2015 FOR THE SEAT BELT LATCH WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THEY SAID THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON THE SEAT BELT. BUT I COULD BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD WORK ON …

I CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THEY SAID THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON THE SEAT BELT. BUT I COULD BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD WORK ON IT, OF COURSE THE MILEAGE IS TOO HIGH TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

Air Bags
THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT THAT OLD. IT'S FLASHING IN A PATTERN. I PURCHASED THE BEST EXTENDED WARRANTY AND BECAUSE AIRBAGS USUALLY DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER IT. I HAVEN'T BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO BE ON. IT'S ALWAYS ON.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED 22 TIMES. ISSUES RANGED FROM COMPUTER TO STEERING ISSUES. ON MORE THAN 1 OCCASION, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING REPAIRED FOR THREE WEEKS OF MORE IN A SINGLE MONTH. DURING A RECENT ROAD TRIP, THE VEHICLE WAS HARD TO CONTROL ON THE ROAD; THE STEERING WOULD DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE LANE DURING TURNS, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND COULD NOT DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MY STEERING WHEEL IS NOT STRAIGHT, EVEN AFTER THE RECENT WHEEL ALIGNMENT WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THAT I DID NOT HAVE CAMBERS INSTALLED ON THE FRONT END. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEVER ASSISTED ME, AND NOW NISSAN IS OFFERING TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE, BUT WOULD LIKE FOR ME TO PAY THEM $18K. I AND MY FAMILY ARE COMPLETED EXHAUSTED WITH THIS MATTER, ESPECIALLY AFTER OUR TRIP THAT SHOULD HAVE TAKEN 20 HOURS TOOK US 26 HOURS, DUE TO THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE. WHENEVER I HAVE TO DRIVE SOMEWHERE IT MUST BE A SHORT DISTANCE, SINCE I HAVE NO TRUST THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION, DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. ALSO WHENEVER DRIVING, MY HANDS ARE ALWAYS SHAKING, SINCE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, I DO HAVE ALL OF THE REPAIR RECORDS TO PROVE THE ISSUES, AND REPAIRS DONE TO THIS VEHICLE.
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2012-2017 NV Cargo and NV Passenger Van, 2013-2015 Titan and Armada and 2011-2012 Infiniti QX56 vehicles. Due to a manufacturing issue, the air bag inflator may not function properly or may rupture during deployment.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front driver air bag inflators, free of charge. The recall began May 7, 2020. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or Infiniti customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Nissan Armada vehicles manufactured April 30, 2015, to June 5, 2015. The affected vehicles may have been built with driver or front passenger seat belt assemblies that may not properly latch or that may not unlatch when the release button is pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and number 209, " Seat Belt Assemblies."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A seat belt that does not properly latch would not restrain a user, increasing their risk of injury in the event of a crash. A seat belt that does not properly unlatch when the release button is pressed may prevent the occupant from quickly exiting the vehicle in a emergency, such as after a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the both front seat belt buckle assemblies, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 14, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Nissan Armada vehicles manufactured September 15, 2014, to October 14, 2014. Due to interference between the parking rod and the transmission housing, the parking pawl may not fully engage.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: This condition may allow the vehicle to move with the shifter in the "Park" position, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the casting date stamp on the transmission housing and replace the affected transmissions, free of charge. The recall began January 19, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1- 800-647-7261.
