      I have an 08 Nissan Rogue. Nissan designed this car with a life safety issue and refuses to fix it without me paying over $4k. The issue is with a faulty CVT valve body, which they issued a warranty for but it is expired. My car never got a new part and the warranty expired before I even owned it. When the car has been driving 30+ miles in the heat, it cuts off the fuel. Which means that I will be driving on the highway, and as cars are flying by me at 80 miles an hour, I will drop to 40 with no warning. I will have my foot to the floor and it will not give more gas. All of these instances have happened with a full tank of gas. They designed the car to shut off the fuel when it gets around 90, which means any summer day the car can just stop accelerating on a busy highway, leaving me fearing for my life. Nissan told me tonight that they had an extended warranty that expired in 2017, so they would rather have me die than help. My car is still under 120k miles and I need them to cover the repairs for the design flaw they made. This is a life or death issue and Nissan wants to kill me instead of fixing their mistake. Please hold them accountable and make them extend the warranty another 15 years, so that people do not die from their mistake.

      I purchased a 2017 Nissan Rogue back in December of 2016. I took great care of the car, regular services for it and drove safely. May of this year (2024), I was going on a long trip from *********, ****** to *******, ********** so I wanted to make sure my car was running well. My car had just hit 100k miles so I took it to ********* Nissan. I asked them to do a diagnostic on it, see if any codes would come up, and asked them to do any recommended work it needed. I was told nothing was wrong with my car other than it needing normal maintenance like spark plugs, fluid changes, tire rotation, etc. I spent $1,580 on everything. Three and a half weeks later, my cars transmission goes out. I get it looked at in Oxnard Nissan and they say the work Beaverton Nissan did shouldnt have been done. I did research and also found out that my car was 18k miles/6 months past the extended warranty that was specifically for the transmission issue I had. I called Nissan corporate and they called back and said I should have had my car serviced only at Nissan and since it was past the warranty they would not help me. So I am out $1,580 of work I JUST had done and a whole car because I dont have $6,500 to spend on a new transmission that shouldnt have gone out at 100k miles anyway.

      I bought a used Nissan a few months ago. It had just ran out of the warranty. I got a loan on the car. The loan is now at around *********. The transmission just went out of the car. To fix the problem it is gonna cost $3500.00 For the transmission and then apparently another ******* for a professional to Install it which will bring the cost to $4500.00 To fix the problem and I have not own the car nine months. Apparently this is a problem that is happening too many customers. When I purchased this car, I purchased it from enterprise car rental in *********. I think they also knew it had that problem because they told me to test drive it and then claimed that I drove it 20 miles over so I had to purchase the car, no matter what.

      The *** transmission was replaced twice in my 2013 Nissan Pathrinder and now 3 years later i have to pay ANOTHER $5-6K for my vehicle. Its not fair that they only issue a 1 year warranty on a transmission that they KNOW will not last more than 2-3 years. All my mechanics told me to leave them and get a ****** or ***** because after they replace it again it will go out in about 3 years. I regret that i have purchased 3 Nissans over the last 25 years as a loyal TIER 1 customer and had to replace my transmission more than once in them. Why should i have to replace my well kept vehicle (with a few normal age related repairs) just because the vehicle only takes *** transmissions and those are KNOWN to not last (i didnt know this before). Nissan doesn't care one bit about me as a customer and the durability of their vehicles. Nissan vin #*****************

      Complaint: 21880808

      I am rejecting this response because: The transmission was replaced in June of 2021 just shy of the mileage warranty limit, and PRIOR TO the extended warranty period mentioned in the class action against them for THIS VERY REASON...Nissan did not assist with that purchase. Here we are 3 years later needing to replace the transmission AGAIN. The milage on the vehicle IS NOT THE SAME as the mileage on the 3 year old transmission. Focusing on the overall milage on the vehicle is a smokescreen.   This complaint is about the fact that i have replaced the transmission in my Nissan a total of 2 times (the first installation lasted only about a month or so before they had to replace that one). The second transmission INSTALLED OUT OF MY OWN POCKET PRIOR TO 120K miles is at the core of my issue. Nissan being fully aware of their CVT transmission issues is at the core of my issue. There is no reason my well kept vehicle has to go to the graveyard JUST BECAUSE OF NISSANS FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS WHICH ARE TECHNICALLY IRREPARABLE- once the original transmission dies, usually right before or just beyond 100k (AS IT ALSO HAD IN MY PREVIOUS 2 NISSANS), the replacements will yield only 1 -3 years- NISSAN IS VERY AWARE OF THIS which is the reason they only offer a 1 year warranty on their replacement CVT transmissions (keep in mind, the cvt transmission can only come from Nissan as they are hard for ANY certified transmission mechanic to find- NISSAN **** knows this.  Again, it is fair for Nissan to replace their 3 YEAR OLD TRANSMISSION OR issue a special incentive for me to purchase another Nissan.

      Just bad business all around- not one mechanic that I spoke to had anything good to say about Nissan, citing that their vehicles are nice looking, but NEVER make it beyond 100k without needing a transmission replacement which begins the downward spiral of the vehicle.

      Sincerely,

      Purchased a New 2024 Nissan Sentra in March 2024 in June 2024 the touch screen went out (black screen) I took it to the Nissan service department where I purchased the car, I was told there was no known fix, they could replace it ONLY is Nissan approves it, which could take days or even weeks. It's dead, broken, useless but they have a problem with replacing it. Its only 3 months old and under full warranty. Nissan is also aware of this problem with these touchscreens the same screen is in most of their vehicles and customers are not made aware there is a problem and they are certainly not told Nissan does not want to fix the issue. I purchased a car where everything worked properly and that's what I want.

      My car's transmission blew, a problem Nissan is well aware of and dealing with constantly, and was repaired on 5/10/24. There was no warranty on my car for this problem. Nissan refusing to assist in total/part of responsibility for faulty CVT transmissions. They are aware of the issue and, despite increasing the powertrain warranty length, they are refusing to take accountability for an ongoing issue that is one, incredibly expensive to repair, and two incredibly dangerous if and when the car is being driven. I bought the car after their extended warranty period, had the car checked and transmission checked, and they did not inform me of common issues with these cars. I feel this is gross business negligence and I am reporting them for incredibly irresponsible handling of an issue that is of their own doing. There are civil suits regarding these issues and they are aware of it but refuse to acknowledge the entirely of their fleet of cars with these issues outside of having a small, insignificant increase on their warranty mileage. Having faulty parts on a car should not be limited to a warranty and the burden should not fall on the consumer. I would like even some assistance with this repair, but they are refusing to even consider the case and just repeatedly say that the decision is final. This is incredibly disrespectful to the consumer. The financial burden this leaves many people in is a result of negligence of Nissan and their unwillingness to meet me at a reasonable solution reflects their concern for their consumers showing me that their primary concern is their own bottom line and not the consumers safety.

      I am rejecting this response because: this is the same cookie cutter response I have been getting, I am not purely seeking financial assistance but I am writing this because Nissan's knowledge of this issue that is ONGOING and still having it affect customers outside of myself is business negligence and malpractice. The warranty issue should extend to any car of theirs made with these faulty parts. I am not seeking for only financial assistance and it is not where I will let this go. My complaint is based on the businesses poor model of how they are rewarding their own customers for an issue that they are aware of and refuse to remedy outside of a measly increase in the warranty period that should extend for the **** of the vehicles for this particular issue.

      I am rejecting this response because: again, if Nissan read my complaint and did not gloss over the intention that this is not a deal that I am looking for monetary compensation at this point. Repeatedly getting a cookie cutter response and not addressing my concerns shows the neglect Nissan has towards its consumers. They take their money from the people buying the cars and assume not responsibility besides the shell of coverage they feel is necessary. What I am saying is this: if NISSAN KNOWS that there is a critical issue with ALL OF THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS from ANY period of time that they SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. Simply extending a warranty is a bandaid to an issue that does not solve anything. Nissan should be held accountable for ALL issues related to their vehicles when there is a KNOWN issue with their CVT transmissions.

It is about the neglect and negligence of your company and its inability to right a wrong. If I keep getting the same response, I will take this matter higher than the BBB and look for legal representation to consider options regarding your egregious negligence to a dangerous and KNOWN problem with your vehicles.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Let me start at the very beginning of this issue. In November 2023, my 2016 Nissan Altima's check engine light came on. I used my BlueDriver Pro Scan Tool and retrieved the following codes: P014C,P014D, P015A, and P015B, which indicated an issue with the oxygen (O2) sensor.I bought a Bosch O2 sensor for $173.77 on November 17, 2023, and installed it in my Altima. However, the light came back on a couple of weeks later.

      I then scheduled a diagnostic check for the O2 sensor based on service bulletin NTB22-007A.Shelby Nissan tested the rear O2 sensor voltage (per the **** on December 1,2023, and confirmed its normal functionality. They found the issue was with the front O2 sensor and recommended replacing it with a Nissan OEM O2 sensor. I purchased a new Nissan OEM O2 sensor from Friendship Nissan for $351.10, &I installed it in December 2023, and the engine light turned off. I drove the car for 4 months with no further issues. However, in May 2024, the light came back on, so I scheduled a service appointment at ******** Nissan for the 7-year powertrain and transmission inspection & informed them my engine light was on.

      On June 4, 2024,Gastonia Nissan's Service Invoice confirmed that the reported issue was related to a faulty airflow sensor, as per bulletin NTB-16-117B (report attached).Despite their recommendation to reprogram the **** the problem persisted, and the warning light reappeared before I even reached home that evening. Gastonia Nissan failed to address the *** valve and active grille shutter modification as indicated on their report, despite knowing the engine light was back on.

      In response to BBB complaint #********, it was *******************************, not ******************, who was your point of contact on the phone. With a limited lifetime powertrain &transmission warranty on my Altima, I expected Nissan to stand behind their product. The complaint regarding the faulty O2 sensors on my 2016 Altima is well-supported by the attached Nissan Service Invoices. After spending over $600 and finding that the engine light remains on, Gastonia Nissan has been unwilling to address the problem, as confirmed in BBB complaint #********.

      Despite being referred to file a complaint with Nissan Consumer Affairs per Gastonia Nissans BBB response, I am now being advised to contact my preferred authorized Nissan dealer. This seems like a runaround!! I never indicated my willingness to pay an additional $600; it was suggested by the Executive Specialist that I purchase another O2 sensor and have an authorized Nissan ****************** install it. If that didn't resolve the issue, they agreed to cover the part & labor costs, but would not put that in writing.Had the Specialist conducted a thorough review of the concern with Gastonia Nissan, she would have known they responded to BBB complaint #******** &their unwillingness to help despite the indicating the concerns with the O2 sensor indicated in NTB-16-117B as reported on the Service Advisor report. She would know that they recommended addressing what is wrong with the 2016 Nissan Altima and using this knowledge to fraud consumers by encouraging us to try a system of fixes that will generate revenue for them. And if she researched my Altima, she would know I had an extended certified Nissan warranty for 7 years/100,000 miles, not just a three years / ****** miles ******* Basic Warranty.

      Even though the local Nissan dealership here in ****** had 400 charges from the North ******************* of ************** that were somehow dropped, Nissan's role is not to take advantage of our communities but to be honest and respect us.

      In conclusion, the current situation does not align with Nissan's commitment to product quality and customer satisfaction. All I ask is for ********************** to stand behind their product!

      Sincerely,

      ***************************
