Hello, my daughter was involved in a motor vehicle accident in which the driver side airbag deployed. She developed some deep cuts on her head and I believe a fracture. I am concerned that her car might be part of the takata airbag recall because I believe that there were pieces of metal from the airbag that caused the deep cuts on her head. Please investigate this. I don't have any photos right now or police reports, but I can get that information if required. Thanks

All ignition coils and spark plugs are failing after 2 months of being replaced. $700 was paid back on May 20, 2019 to replace all coils and spark plugs. Engine misfired again the other day and same issue diagnosed with coil/plug failure! there is an underlying issue that Nissan needs to have addressed within engine as something is causing the coils to continually misfire! my car was driving straight the other day on Sunday when the vehicle started to buck wildly and check engine light flashing on.
We put our VIN into the recall database and it did not come back as being one of the cars affected. However, we have experienced what is described in the recall: Engine stalling and having to be turned off and restarted; no power to engine when stepping on gas while in drive. It has been okay on the highway, but will often cut out when driving in city, especially when starting back from a start or rolling start. Happens occasionally with no predictability other than has never happened on the highway.
I had the same problems when it was only 20K miles { 2 years with warranty}. they didn't fix the problem and I was not happy. On 3rd year (before 3 years or 36 months expiration date), I sent it to Nissan dealership to inspect and they could not find any issue (no action or anything been fixed). It keep happening and I had to send it back again to recheck when it was 50K. And now it's 80K miles and the car is not safe to drive. I keep calling Nissan dealership and asking for advices. They can not help me or fix it. I was almost got hit few times when I drove this Nissan

Takata recall I was driving my car and came to a stop sign and the whole car shut off, while I was in drive. My battery was corroded and so we thought that was the issue and changed the battery and the problem worsended up until yesterday while I was riding to work, I arrived at a stop light and before the light even turned red the whole car shut off and locked up. The battery is new, oil had been changed hat same day as the air filter and the mass airflow sensor were changed. The mass airflow sensor was changed because that's what I was told was why my engine light was on. The very day the same issues occurred and the whole car stopped and did not start again. Prior to this, my car sat for a few days, like any car does on the weekend and I needed a jump the following Sunday night and after changing the battery, the problems worsened and as I was driving, if I turned slightly or made a left or right turn, my skip control would come on and stay on and I drive routinely so I knew it was a new problem. When I put the car into park, the slip control would come on or in reverse, the slip control would come on or the whole car would shut off in that gear.
The transmission is slipping, jerks, and hesitate when accelerating. The RPM jumping up and down what is going on had to take it to the dealership before about the whining noise and the RPM...
I've been having issues with my vehicle. At times, the engine stalls and it cannot go above 15-20 mph, even while driving on the interstate. The steering wheel also locks up, as well. The vehicle dynamic control indicator then turns on. Luckily, I've been able to get to a safe location when this happens, but I find it alarming. I also think this defect is affecting other important components in my vehicle. It has been happening sporadically for about 2 years now.

Actually less than a year from purchasing the vehicle, a ticking started in the engine even after routine oil changes. Before it hit 50000 miles, when starting the car it would hesitate and when it was checked out a cell in the battery burned out and it was a little over a year old. When I looked up recalls there was something concerning the battery and when I contacted the dealership they stated since it was just over the 50000 mark it wasn't covered. As for as the engine they stated stated " that's just the engine, they all have a tick."
