What owners wrote
I was in an accident and the air bags did not deploy. My children and I were injured. I serviced my car at nissan for the airbag recall twice. I received a recall from NHTSA and nissan wouldn't comply. Every time I've taken my car for the brake pads to be serviced I only need rotors never brake pads! The driver side door handle broke for no reason what so ever this car is a clunker!
Purchased car may of 2013, pre-owned certified and only 21000miles. From onset of ownership, brakes made noises, "cyclop brake light in rear window would blink constantly, dash lights would go from dim to bright all the time. The car would hesitate when leaving stop position, pushing electronic start button would not work often. Dealership always said that the situation could not be duplicated. On dec.
