“Vehicle in the shop for a major oil leak, 2 key fobs don't work, recall, leaking sunroof, and last but not least air bag light flashing. Quoted 3500 to replace seat/module, 350. For oil issue, 1400. Sunroof. I inherited this car in 2013 when my mother passed away and it only has 20000 miles on it. I could buy another newer used car at this rate!! This is rediculous for a vehicle with so low miles to have this many issues. At this rate I will never purchase or recommend Nissan again. Please advise. Thanks, deb”

This short may lead to connector damage, possibly causing a fire. On thursday march 26 I took my vehicle to Nissan of garden city where they inspected my kick panel wire harness for damage. My vehicle was affected by this recall and fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #10702317, filed 2015-03, 33,000 miles“Frontal impact caused airbags to deploy except the passenger front (no passenger) and the passenger rear side (passenger present) . Nissan claims no deployment of side airbag is because no direct t-bone impact on passenger side of vehicle was sensed. Nissan also claims that the driver side airbag did properly because it sensed a potential rollover situation. Nissan was moving on city street and hit (t-boned) a truck pulling a heavy loaded trailer that ran a red light. Rear passenger side airbag should have deployed!”

He immediately pulled over and exited the vehicle. At that point, the whole front of the car was engulfed in flames. Very dangerous.
