| Description of the problem | I bought this vehicle in november 2012 because i had heard all great things about nissan. The first week of owning the vehicle i had issues with the driver side power window. It would either go down extremely slowly or not at all. I brought it back to the dealership and they "fixed the problem". The window is still very slow but better than it was. A couple weeks later, the passenger air bag light started going on and off all the time. It didn't matter if there was a person in the seat or not. I brought it back to the dealership and they "fixed the problem". It still goes on once in a while but very rarely. Biggest problem, since i bought the vehicle it has been shuddering (almost like going over a rumble strip) when i am driving low speeds. (around 20 mph) i dropped the vehicle off at the dealership this morning and they told me that they are aware of the problem and they will either need to do a software update or possibly give me a new transmission. I am not happy!! When you spend $35,000 on a vehicle you do not expect all of these problems. I will never buy another nissan. |
