THE HATCH LIFT WILL NOT CLOSE OR OPEN WITH THE KEY OR PUSH BUTTON; IT IS AN OPEN POSITION. WE CONTACT A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS QUOTE $900 TO REPAIR. IN 2012 WE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION THAT COST US $2500. THE DASHBOARD ALL THE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT AND THE COST TO REPLACED THAT WHOLE IS OVER $600 JUST FOR THE PARTS NOT INCLUDING LABOR. WHEN WE BOUGHT THE VAN WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH IT. BUT IN THE LAST 3YEARS IT HAS GONE DOWN HILL. I CAR THAT WE BOUGHT BRAND NEW FOR OVER $30,000 SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 7 YEARS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN FORCE NISSAN TO LOOK AT ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE IN THIS MODEL. WE ARE PLANNING A NEW CAR NEXT YEAR; AND I KNOW WE WILL NOT BE PURCHASING A NISSAN. *TR
AS YOU START OFF FROM A STOP THE TRANSMISSION JERKS IN THE LOWER GEARS, THE SPEED SURGES THEN GOES BACK DOWN AND THERE IS AN INFREQUENT KNOCKING NOISE. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO STARTS TO GEAR DOWN AS YOU GO DOWN A DECLINE AT SPEEDS OF 45-50 MPH. *TR
FUEL GAUGE NOT REGISTERING PROPERLY. LAST FEW DIGITS OF ODOMETER WILL DISAPPEAR OR NOT SHOW UP ALL THE WAY. *TR
WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE VAN STARTED TO SHAKE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE AND THEN THERE WAS NO POWER AS THE GAS WAS PRESSED. THE GAS WAS TO THE FLOOR AND THE MAX SPEED WAS 50 MPH.

THE MORE YOU DROVE THE WORST IT GOT. I AM ONLY TALKING DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MILE. WHEN YOU FIRST START OUT IT IS NOT AS BAD, BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE NOR AM I WILLING TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. I HAVE READ ARTICLES ON THIS AND IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM. LETS GET IT TOGETHER NISSAN!!!!! I REALLY WANT TO KNOW IF GOING IMPORT IS WORTH IT. I HAVE A 2001 GMC WITH OVER 175,000 WITH NO PROBLEMS. *TR
