| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 1995 | AIR BAGS | NO DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG IN AN ACCIDENT. |
| 1991 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION UNEXPECTEDLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES RESULTED, BUT THIS COULD EASILY HAVE OCCURRED UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCMSTANCES. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A KNOWLEDGEABLE TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP, THE CHIEF MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW IN THIS TRANSMISSION. IN FACT, HE HAD REBUILT MANY OF THESE AND KNEW HOW TO "MODIFY" THE UNIT TO PREVENT FURTHER PROBLEMS. MY QUESTION: DOESN'T THE MANUFACTURER HAVE SOME RESPONSIBILITY HERE? I AM IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING NISSAN AND WILL AWAIT THEIR FORMAL RESPONSE. IN THE MEANTIME, CAN YOU HELP ME GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED? I AM CONVINCED THERE ARE MANY MORE CONSUMERS OUT THERE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES WHO ARE AT RISK. *AK |
