• Pedestrian alert sounds investigation # DP22005

  Nhtsa received a petition on or about july 18, 2022, requesting that federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the united states. The petition can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under odi number 11486072.Fmvss 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after march 1, 2021.The petitioner asserts that hybrid and electric vehicles to which the standard does not apply should be found to contain a safety defect. In support of the petition, the petitioner includes findings contained in a bill introduced in the house of representatives in 2009, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2009, h.R. 734, 111th cong. (2009). A related bill, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2010, became law in january 2011 (pub. L. 111-373). The petitioner requests that nhtsa require all electric and hybrid vehicles comply with fmvss 141, regardless of production date.The defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition.The associated product list is not exhaustive and may contain vehicles that are equipped with pedestrian alert sounds.

• Brake master cylinder internal leak investigation # PE11020

  The office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe11-020 to investigate possible brake performance loss due to brake fluid leaking from the master cylinder into the brake booster in the subject vehicles.A total of 237 complaints were identified by odi and nissan.The majority of complaints and warranty claims reported that brake malfunction indicator lamp (mil) illumination as the only symptom of a problem.Only 12 complaints alleged any effect on brake performance and in each of these the drivers were able to stop the vehicles without incident.No crash claims could be attributed to the alleged defect. Returned part analysis data provided by nissan showed that most of the master cylinders replaced under warranty did not have a leak condition.These replacements may have resulted from brake mil illumination due to pad wear.For most of the warranty claims, in a few cases where a master cylinder leak was found, nissans testing showed that the leaks were extremely slow and would require thousands of miles or months of driving before brake performance could be affected.After an extensive study of replaced master cylinders for a presumed leak, nissan was unable to identify any concern with the parts or design of the subject components that could affect brake performance. Nevertheless, nissan does recognize a concern with premature brake mil illumination and has decided to address this problem by conducting a voluntary service campaign covering approximately 1.17 million model year 2007 through 2012 altima vehicles (up to june 25, 2011 production, the date of nissans running change for the longer life brake pad).Nissans owner letter for the service campaign states, "as your brake pads wear over time, the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir will drop and may cause the brake warning lamp to illuminate.”although this is a normal condition, there has been concern that the brake warning light illumination may be caused by a slow fluid leak over time."nissans service campaign will inspect the brake pads and test the master cylinder for leakage.If leakage is detected, nissan will replace the master cylinder at no charge.If excessive pad wear is observed, customers will be notified and will be responsible for repairs.For more details concerning nissans service campaign, see the pe11-020 file on www.Safercar.Gov. Based on the low failure rate for confirmed master cylinder leakage in the subject vehicles and the low probability that the condition would affect brake performance, this investigation is closed.

Unknown i have a red flashing light on my right dashboard. Owners manual said to call dealership because of faulty airbags.

I just purchased my nissan not even 3 months ago and i've had to have it in the 4-5 shops because nobody could figure out why it was giving the code P0335. Finally found out it's the timing chain. I cant drive my own car because of it and i feel like i got robbed of my money. The dam car is stuck in limp mode. We was driving one day and all of sudden the car jerked really hard an lost power didnt have a clue what was going on.

Purchased 2008 nissan altima on march 6, 2021 from the car house in butler, nj. Since the moment i drove off the lot, multiple lights turned on which turned out to be alternator and multiple 02 sensors. The next day i had a garage do an inspection and it turned out the car needed a rear control arm, shocks, brakes and rotors in additon to the lights. The dealer said that i had a 90 day warranty but when i called the company they had no record of the contract. The dealer fixed the sensors and alternator supposedly, but haven't contacted me back about fixing the other issues and every time i call they hang up.

The dashboard is actually melting and becoming sticky nothing is able to clean it this causes a very shiny reflection of the sun that bounces back on the windshield making it hard to see at times therefore being a hazard
