“Recall issued. Kelly Nissan of 275 Broadway, Lynnfield MA 01940 told me to check back in a month to see if the parts were then available then a month later told me the parts were no longer being manufactured and were unavailable.”

NHTSA complaint #11753022, filed 2026-07

“1) check air bag light was flashing a month after I purchased the vehicle and it was repaired. The light is back on almost a year later and has continued to flash on and off. 2) tire pressure light continues to go on and off and I replaced and aligned my tires and still it continues. 3) when putting gas in my tank the gauge is never all the way to the top and yet the pump will not allow me to input more gas. Also the gas is not lasting the amount of mile it should, and the reading does not seem accurate.”
