WHILE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVATED, THE CONTACT INCREASED THE SPEED USING THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED GAUGE; HOWEVER, DUE TO THE VEHICLE'S FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM, IT FAILED TO FUNCTION.

THE INTERACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL HAS PANIC-BRAKED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BASED ON VEHICLE ACTIVITY IN THE LANE RIGHT OR LEFT OF ME WHEN MY LANE WAS CLEAR FAR AHEAD. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED THREE TIMES AND TWICE THE PANIC-BRAKING HAS SPARKED INCIDENTS OF ROAD RAGE AGAINST ME AS THE FOLLOWING DRIVER THOUGHT I WAS TRYING TO GET REAR-ENDED. THERE IS NO WAY TO USE CRUISE CONTROL WITHOUT THE INTERACTIVE FEATURE. YOU CAN ONLY SET THE FOLLOW DISTANCE AT 200', 100' OR 50'. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER TO DEACTIVATE THE INTERACTIVE FEATURE BUT THEY CAN'T.

ON AUG. 6, 2016, WE WERE RETURNING FROM VA. BEACH AND AROUND 4:00 PM IT BEGAN TO RAIN; STRONG AND HARD RAIN. WE WERE ON 301 HEADING NORTH TO WASHINGTON DC. WE PROCEEDED TO TURN ON THE WIPERS AND THE DEFROSTER TO CLEAR THE WINDOWS FOR VISIBILITY. THE AIR WAS BLOWING BUT THE CONDENSATION WAS INCREASING ON THE WINDOWS. WE STOPPED AT THE SHEEHY DEALER AT 2950 CRAIN HWY WALDORF, MD. WHERE I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE TO GET SOME ASSISTANCE. THE GENERAL MANAGER CAME OUT, BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO GET THE DEFROST SYSTEM TO WORK AND REMOVE THE CONDENSATION FROM THE WINDOWS.

IN NOVEMBER 2015, THE CAR FUEL LIGHT CAME ON DURING A TRIP. BEFORE I COULD GET TO A GAS STATION, THE CAR SUDDENLY BECAME SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MILES PER HOUR. THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OFF INDICATING IT STILL HAD GAS. I WAS ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF FROM AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ON THE SHOULDER AND GET TO A STATION AND REFILL THE CAR. I TOPPED IT OFF AT 16 GALLONS (CAR HOLDS 19). THE CAR RAN FINE AFTER IT WAS FULL. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION GIVEN THAT TRAFFIC WAS MOVING AT 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE CAR DROPPED TO 20 MILES PER HOUR. I CALLED NISSAN USA AND MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS AN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON OR THEY COULD REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IN MARCH 2016, THE CAR FUEL LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON WHILE ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD. WHILE THE CAR REGISTERED 35 MILES LEFT UNTIL EMPTY, THE CAR AGAIN BECAME SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT EXCEED 20 MPH. I DROVE TO A GAS STATION AND TOPPED IT OFF AT 15.5 GALLONS. THIS TIME, LIKE THE LAST, THE CAR WORKED NORMALLY WHEN IT WAS FULL. IN APRIL 2016, THE DEALER AGREED TO REPLACE THE TWO FUEL LEVEL SENSORS. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE BUT ALSO HAVE FILLED UP BEFORE OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. EACH TIME I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO GET SLIGHTLY OVER 15 GALLONS IN THE TANK. I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL ON AUTOMOTIVE WEBSITES. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY FOR THOSE WHO SUDDENLY LOSE POWER ON A FREEWAY. CAR OWNERS SHOULD BE WARNED TO FILL UP IMMEDIATELY IF THE FUEL LIKE COMES ON.

PASSENGER SEAT SWITCH THAT CONTROLS AIR BAG WOULD TURN OFF AIRBAG WITH AN ADULT IN THE SEAT . HAD RECALL WORK DONE AT THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM NEW AFTER WORK WAS DONE DASH LIGHT SAY PASSENGER AIR BAG OF WITH NO ONE IN SEAT AND STAYS ON ALL THE TIME . IT DOES GO OUT WITH AN ADULT IN THE SEAT . MY COMPLAINT IS THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX AT BEST THIS IS NOT HOW THIS IS DESIGNED TO WORK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN DASH LIGHT BURNS OUT ? NO OTHER VEHICLE I OWN WORKS THIS WAY IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE POSITION OF THE SWITCH IN THE SEAT IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED FOR FREE I DID NOT BUY THIS CAR THINKING THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT A DEFECT IS A DEFECT FIX IT PROPERLY.

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AUTOMATICALLY TURNING OFF IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN ON 6/20/16 REGARDING THE RECALL. GOT HOME AND NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT SINCE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKED AT AND FIXED ON 6/20/16. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 6/28/16. NOT SURE IF THERE ISN'T A DEEPER PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG.
