2014 Nissan NV200 Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN NV200. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

1) SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE VIEW. AT NIGHT, MULTIPLE IMAGES OF HEADLIGHTS MAKE IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE WHERE OTHER VEHICLES ARE LOCATED. 2) SUN VISOR IS TOO SHORT TO BLOCK SUN FROM DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW EVEN WITH THE SEAT PULLED ALL THE WAY FORWARD. (I TRIED MAKING ADJUSTMENTS AND THEN THOUGHT I MIGHT GET USED TO IT BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR SIX MONTHS THESE DEFICIENCIES CONTINUE TO BE A HAZARD.)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN NV200. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

ON-GOING ISSUE. PASSENGER'S AIR BAG WARNING THAT THE AIRBAG IS "OFF" IS LIT WHEN MY SPOUSE IS IN THE SEAT. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, BUT OCCURS CLOSE TO 50% OF THE TIME. THE FIRST TIME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE NISSAN SHOP, THE TECH SAID THAT "HE COULD REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM" AND THAT IT WAS RESOLVED BY "RESETTING THE COMPUTER". THE SECOND TIME IN THE SHOP, WE WERE TOLD THAT MY WIFE'S WEIGHT, ~100 LBS, WAS BORDERLINE FOR THE SENSOR AND THAT WE SHOULD EXPECT THE OBSERVED INTERMITTENT BEHAVIOR. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO SUPPLY ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE DOT GUIDANCE ON THE PASSENGER'S WEIGHT AT WHICH THE AIR BAG SHOULD BE DISABLED.
