2009 Nissan 3 Series problems

“The contact owns a 2009 Nissan 370Z. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the steering wheel locked up, and the contact was unable to start the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the residence, where a mobile mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with steering module failure. The contact called the dealer to schedule an appointment, and the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under Nissan Voluntary Service Campaign Number: P3208; free of charge, because the vehicle had already been previously repaired under the Voluntary Service Campaign. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact the vehicle history did not display the completion of Nissan Voluntary Service Campaign Number: P3208, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 176,000.”

“My vehicle has only 12,400 miles, and the passenger air bag light will not go off and the airbag light in the dash keeps blinking. Millions of Nissan vehicles have had the same problem. I want my Nissan dealership, where I purchased this vehicle ( M’Lady in Crystal Lake, IL ), to fix this at no cost to me.”

“I GOT INTO MY CAR IN THE GARAGE AND TRIED TO START IT BY FIRST PUSHING THE CLUTCH AND PRESSING THE START BUTTON. WHILE PUSHING THE CLUTCH DOWN, IT FELL TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE AND NEVER CAME BACK UP. I HAVE TO LIFT IT WITH MY LEFT FOOT.”

“VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE SAID 1/4 OF A TANK AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF ON A BUSY ROAD MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME AND AS I WAS TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM I ADDED GAS TO THE TANK AND THE CAR STARTED. OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM IS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT.”

“I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING WHEN MY CLUTCH PEDAL BECAME LIMP. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GETTING READY TO SHIFT INTO 6TH GEAR WHEN I HAD NO CLUTCH RESISTANCE! I NEARLY CRASHED DUE TO THE LACK OF ENGAGEMENT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS VERY SAME ISSUE WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY AT 30,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP EITHER NEVER REPLACED THE PARTS THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE REPLACED AT 30K MILES OR THEY HAVE FAILED AGAIN, JUST 35K MILES LATER. THESE PARTS ARE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND SLAVE CYLINDER IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH 2009-2015 MODELS. ACTUALLY, IT HAS BEEN GOING ON AS FAR BACK AS 2003 WITH THE 350Z, WHICH WAS NEVER ADDRESSED. I'M SELLING THE CAR AND HOPEFULLY THE BUYER DOESN'T CRASH AND DIE FROM IT. IF HE/SHE DOES, YOU SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE.

“PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR CAME ON AND SHOWS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING AS WELL WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. JUST STARTING THE CAR, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID AIR BAG OFF AND FLASHING LIGHT ON DASH. PASSENGER AIRBAG WON'T TURN BACK ON AND DOESN'T WORK PUTTING PASSENGERS IN GREAT DANGER.”
