Also, the car can be started without having to depress the brake pedal. Sometimes, the outside brake lights stay on, sometimes they don't. I replaced the brake light switch and manually operating the switch would not make…

For 3 years we have been dealing with this particular issue, with no resolution. The dashboard light signaling that the passenger air bag is properly activated for an adult occupant comes on or does not come on when it is supposed to. This occurs whether the car is stationary or on the move. The dealer has told us not to put anything on the passenger seat = ridiculous. The dealer then said that it "reprogrammed the…

The check engine light has been on since september 2015. I have visited the dealer three times (until end-jan 2015) and there is no resolution. I have a metro mile tag that transmits me error codes and as per that the problem is p0037 - ho2s heater control circuit low bank 1 sensor 2 the dealer has not been able to resolve it and it is a absolute waste of time getting the vehicle to the dealer so many times.

In 2015 the a/c compressor when out and was covered under warranty, then 21/2 years later the compressor went out again and nissan refused to repair. Two compressors in 5 years and they didn't think this was a issue. I end up paying 1200 dollars to replace after 2/12 years.

Dealer thought it was transmission and alternator but upon…
