Owner report 10908083 · 2016-09-20 (September 20, 2016)
TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND THEN SURGES. VERY FREQUENTLY, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THERE IS NO ACCELERATION WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT DELAY. THE VEHICLE SURGES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS AND ON MORE THAN OCCASION, HAS CAUSED NEAR ACCIDENTS. THE VEHICLE DOES THIS IN STOP AND GO DRIVING SITUATIONS AS WELL AS IN FREEWAY DRIVING SITUATIONS. THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE OR TELL WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. IT CREATES AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION WHICH IF LEFT UNCHECKED COULD CREATE A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION.

WHEN AT A FULL STOP THE VEHICLE HAS A HARD TIME MOVING/ACCELERATING. I TAKE MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. WHEN I PRESS THE GAS, THE VEHICLE WILL JERK VERY BADLY AND JUMP LIKE IT IS A STICK SHIFT, BUT IT IS NOT. WHEN IT FINALLY GETS MOVING IT CONTINUES TO JERK, SPUTTER AND JUMP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS FOR THIS ISSUE AND I AM REPEATEDLY TOLD THAT WITHOUT A CODE OR THE VEHICLE DUPLICATING WHAT IT DOES THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE.

16V244000 · Air Bags:Sensor:Occupant Classification
Reported: 2016-04-26 (April 26, 2016)
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
Consequence: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available.
