FRONT BRAKE ROTORS REPLACED AT 4000 MILES DUE TO STEERING WHEEL SHIMMY WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. PROBLEM RESURFACED AT 11000MILES. BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT AT 15000 MILES. THEY FOUND ROTORS RUNOUT FOR BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR TO BE EXCESSIVE. RESURFACED FOUR ROTORS AND CHANGED BRAKE PADS. DEALER DID NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY CITING THAT IT WAS A WEAR ITEM. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE PARTS ARE NOT UP TO SPECIFICATION ESPECIALLY WITH THE FAILURE AT 4000 MILES. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THAT PROBLEM. TWO OCCURANCES WITHIN 10000 MILES IS NOT THE NORM. THE ROTOR THICKNESS FOR THE SUBSEQUENT MODEL IS THICKER THAN ONE USED ON THE 04 MODEL. *NM

THE TIRE TRACTION IS LOWEST ONE CAN GET. AFTER DRIVING 20,000 MILES ON THE TIRE STARTED SHOWING SEVERE WEAR. BUBBLE SHOWING ON THE OUTSIDE WALL. WROTE TO NISSAN 3 TIMES, THEY NEVER BOTHERED ME CONTACT ME BACK, CALLED ONCE AND TOLD ABOUT THE TIRE PROBLEM, THE ANSWER WAS WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO PUT SAME TIME I.E. GOODYEAR 225/6516. AND GOOD YEAR KNOWING THAT THEY ONLY MANUFACTURE THAT SIZE PRICED THAT TIRE IS $150+ EACH, BUT ACTUALLY IT IS WORTH $39.99. THE PROBLEM IS IT IS JUST THE MONOPOLY BETWEEN NISSAN AND GOODYEAR, THEY COULD HAVE CHOSEN DIFFERENT SIZE, WHICH WILL GIVE CONSUMER MORE CHOICE. *NM

Official recalls
4Oct 17, 2005
ON CERTAIN MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH A FOLDING THIRD ROW REAR SEAT, WHEN THE THIRD ROW SEAT IS RAISED FROM ITS STOWED POSITION, IT ENGAGES STRIKER BRACKETS, ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE SEAT CUSHION. THE FOLD-AWAY STRIKER LOOP IS WELDED TO A MOUNTING BRACKET. THE STRIKER MAY BECOME DETACHED FROM ITS MOUNTING BRACKET DUE TO A BROKEN WELD AT THE POINT OF ATTACHMENT TO THE BRACKET.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE THIRD ROW SEAT STRIKER WELD FAILS, THE STRIKER COULD SEPARATE FROM THE MOUNTING BRACKET. STRIKER SEPARATION COULD AFFECT THE RISK OF INJURY IN CERTAIN TYPES OF CRASHES.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE THIRD ROW SEAT STRIKER BRACKETS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 19, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
Oct 13, 2005
ON CERTAIN MINI VANS, THERE IS A SEAT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM THAT CONTAINS EXPOSED MOVING COMPONENTS LOCATED AT THE REAR INSIDE EDGE OF THE SECOND ROW SEAT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN THE OPERATOR ATTEMPTS SEAT ADJUSTMENT, A FINGER MAY BE PINCHED IN THE MOVING SEAT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM WHICH COULD CAUSE AN INJURY.
Remedy: ON EARLIER MODEL VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH JUNE 28, 2004, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE INBOARD SECOND ROW SEAT ADJUSTMENT HANDLE, RIVET A PLASTIC REINFORCEMENT TO BACKSIDE OF THE EXISTING SEAT BACK COVER CARPETING, INSTALL TIE-DOWNS AND A FLANGE TO THE INBOARD SIDE SHIELD. ON VEHICLES PRODUCED FROM JUNE 29, 2004 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 26, 2005, DEALERS WILL RIVET A PLASTIC REINFORCEMENT TO THE BACKSIDE OF THE EXISTING SEAT BACK COVER CARPETING, INSTALL TIE-DOWNS AND A FLANGE ON THE INBOARD SIDE SHIELD. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 19, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
Apr 16, 2004
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS EQUIPPED WITH A POWER SLIDING DOOR(S), AT AN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE BELOW APPROXIMATELY 40 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE ACTUATOR FOR THE POWER SLIDING DOOR(S) MAY EXPERIENCE BINDING DUE TO AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION CONDITION. IN ORDER TO OPEN, CLOSE OR REVERSE A POWER SLIDING DOOR, THE SHIFT SELECTOR LEVER MUST BE IN "PARK." IF THE ACTUATOR IS EXPERIENCING BINDING AND THE DRIVER SHIFTS THE VEHICLE OUT OF "PARK" WHILE A POWER SLIDING DOOR IS STILL CLOSING, THE DOOR LATCHES MAY NOT ENGAGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CAN RESULT IN THE DOOR COMING OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY UPON RAPID ACCELERATION, AND AN OCCUPANT COULD FALL OUT OF THE DOOR AND BE INJURED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ACTUATOR FOR THE POWER SLIDING DOOR(S). OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 23, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
Mar 1, 2004
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE ADVANCED AIR BAG REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION." THE AIR BAG FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS TO BE TURNED OFF (SO THAT IT DOES NOT INFLATE) WHEN CERTAIN OCCUPANTS, SUCH AS SMALL CHILDREN, ARE IN THE FRONT SEAT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS REDUCES THE RISK OF SUCH OCCUPANTS BEING UNJURED BY AN INFLATING AIR BAG IN A COLLISION.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION/SENSOR ASSEMBLY. IF THE SEAT CUSHION/SENSOR IS FOUND TO BE OPERATING IMPROPERLY, THE SEAT WILL BE REMOVED AND RECALIBRATED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 23, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
