   Engine light came on, and vehicle accelerated, then lost acceleration while revolutions increased. Diagnosis indicates Bad TCM. I went to 3 shops, and all said that the TCM are going bad, especially Infinity. Nissan wants to charge $500 just to try to reset it. The Dealership is the only ones that can perform this task.

6. Filed Sep 12, 2024Failure Aug 21, 2024Oceanside, NYAir bags

   Air bag light began blinking. I brought it to a nissan dealer for service and that have replaced and charged me for multiple parts in excess of $2,000.00. They stated my car was ready and repaired. Upon picking up my car the light was still blinking. They stated it's additional parts and cost to finish repair but if I wanted the car for the weekend I can have it and return when the parts come in. They were going to give my car back to me with a defective air bag system which I feel is extremely unsafe. They also damaged my front bumper which they had to repair. I don't feel they changed out some parts they charged me for. The car has been with them for repair since 08/22/2024. Nissan is not standing behind their product or safety.

    WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE THE HEADLIGHTS BECOME DIM, AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED THE HEADLAMP CONNECTOR WAS MELTED AND THE WIRING WAS OVERHEATED. THE HARNESS WAS REPLACED BY A NISSAN DEALER AND IT MELTED AGAIN 3 WEEKS LATER. NISSAN HAS HAD ENGINEERS AND MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTIC SPECIALISTS LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND NO SOLUTION. IT IS OBVIOUS THEY HAVE USED TO SMALL OF A WIRE ON THE GROUND AND NOT SUPPORTED IT CORRECTLY IN THE CONNECTOR AS THE MELTING ALWAYS BEGINS WITH THE GROUND WIRE. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON OVER 500 TRUCKS.
