2011 Nissan Rogue

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS MADE ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEFECT IN THE 2011 NISSAN ROUGE. MY CAR FAILED THE STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS BLINKING ON THE DASH BOARD. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AS NO ONE ELSE WAS ABLE TOO. NISSAN INFORMED ME THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE THE SENSOR IS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AT A PRICE OF $2,000. IF THE SENSOR IS SO BURIED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT THE ENTIRE SEAT HAS TO BE REPLACED, THEN THAT IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND IS NISSAN'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT AT THEIR EXPENSE. YOU WOULD THINK THAT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND THE FACT THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, NISSAN WOULD WANT TO RECALL AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED! OF COURSE, THEN THEY COULDN'T COLLECT $2,000 FOR EVERY SEAT REPLACED FOR THIS DEFECT. THE WARNING LIGHT JUST STARTED BLINKING ABOUT A MONTH AGO, BUT WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THE AIR BAG HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE , MAYBE THE LIGHT DOESN'T BLINK UNTIL IT IS CRITICAL BECAUSE THE AIR BAG BUTTON ALWAYS SHOWED THE AIR BAG AS OFF NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL THE PERSON SITTING IN THE SEAT WAS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND ATTENTION SHOULD BE PAID!

AT AROUND 92,000 MILES (EXACTLY A MONTH AFTER MY 90,000 MILE SERVICE AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP) ON 11/15/2018, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON AN EXIT RAMP OF I-40 AT LEBANON, TN. THE CAR WOULD LURCH AND GO FORWARD SO I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE EXIT RAMP AND INTO A PARKING LOT. AAA TOWED CAR TO NISSAN COOKEVILLE WHERE THEY SAID A LOW PUMP PRESSURE CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THEY REPLACED THIS TRANSMISSION WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 150 MILES BACK HOME. ON 11/29/2018, WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AFTER PULLING OFF I-140 IN ALCOA, TN, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO. I WAS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE LANE AT 5:30PM ON A DARK, RAINY THURSDAY NIGHT. I HAD TO CALL 911. IT TOOK A POLICE OFFICER 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO GET THERE. THE AREA WHERE I WAS IS RIGHT OFF I-140 EXIT RAMP. I ENDED UP BACKING TRAFFIC UP ON AN INTERSTATE BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD NOT GO. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WRECKED INTO ME. SINCE I COULD NOT TOW MY CAR 150 MILES BACK TO COOKEVILLE, I TOOK IT TO THE ALCOA DEALERSHIP. WHERE I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION FROM THE COOKEVILLE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. SO, I AM OUT OVER $4,000, HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION, AND HAVE NO INCOME TO BUY A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE $4,000 I SPENT 2 WEEKS AGO ON ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. I AM TERRIFIED OF CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I AM SICKENED THAT I HAVE NO RESOURCES TO HELP ME AT LEAST FIGHT THE $4,000 FOR THE TRANSMISSION THAT FAILED 2 WEEKS AFTER BEING PUT IN MY CAR. THIS CAR IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, AS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC IN A MAJOR INTERSECTION, IN THE RAIN, AT NIGHT, DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. I DO NOT HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION WITH ME AS IT IS WITH MY CAR AT THE ALCOA DEALERSHIP, BUT I WILL BE WILLING TO PROVIDE ONCE I AM ABLE TO GET TO MY CAR.
