RE: PASSENGER SIDE, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN MANUAL, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL ALERT THE PASSENGER WHEN THE AIR BAG IS NOT FUNCTIONING. THEY ADVISE THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE AUTO SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE BROUGHT TO THE DEALER. I AM EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH MY AUTO AND HAVE NOTIFIED BOTH NISSAN (FILE 670 4193) AND BARRON NISSAN. AS OF TODAY, BOTH HAVE FAILED TO ADVISE HOW THIS CAN BE CORRECTED. I AM AWARE THAT IN 2009, NISSAN HAD A RECALL (#08V521000) FOR THEIR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE MURANO…

UNSAFE DESIGN OF TILT STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT LEVER (SWAL) THAT WILL CAUSE A SHATTERED LEFT KNEE IN A FRONT OR REAR CRASH (FORC). THE SWAL IS POSITIONED ON THE LOWER LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN SO THAT THE LEFT KNEE WILL BE SHATTERED IN A FORC. OTHER VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE THIS DESIGN FLAW. NISSAN MAINTAINS THAT THE SWAL DESIGN HAS NOT RESULTED IN PROBLEMS AND THEREFORE NOTHING WILL BE DONE. IN OTHER WORDS, UNLESS THE GOVERNMENT TAKES ACTION TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURIES NISSAN WILL DO NOTHING. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF BIG BUSINESS NOT TAKING…

THE PROBLEM IS WITH NISSAN CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT), IN PARTICULAR MY 2010 NISSAN MURANO. WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN IN HOT WEATHER FOR MORE THAN 200 MILES IN HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE.

THIS PROBLEM IS SO PREVALENT, NISSAN MURANO OWNER'S CALL THIS "LIMP MODE". IF YOU SEARCH GOOGLE.COM FOR NISSAN CVT ISSUE OR LIMP MODE…
