• 12/17/2014· SUSPENSION,TIRES

  AFTER 15000 MILES THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED NEW TIRES ON THE REAR OF MY NV200 VAN. THE AXLE HUBS ARE LEANING IN AT CLOSE TO 5 DEG. THIS IS CHEWING UP THE TIRES AND CAUSING CUPPING. THE TIRES ARE VIBRATING AND MAKING NOISE. NISSAN SAYS THE AXLE IS N SPEC". I HAVE PICTURES SHOWING HOW BAD THEY ARE LEANING IN. YOU DON'T NEED ANY MACHINE TO SEE THEY ARE WAY OFF. THESE ARE JK TYES. YOU DON'T SHOW THEM AS A BRAND. *TR

  I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2013 AND LIVE ARIZONA. SUMMERS ARE EXTREMELY HOT. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR OUR FAMILY. AT THE TIME WE HAD 7 CHILDREN. WE NOW HAVE 10, SO EVERY SEAT IN OUR VAN IS TAKEN. WE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE AIR FLOW AND AIR CONDITIONING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VAN BACK IN 2013 AND WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS HOW PASSENGER VANS ARE. WE WERE TOLD SINCE IT WAS SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT OF SPACE TO COOL AND ARE VAN IS BLACK IT WAS JUST THE NATURE OF THIS TYPE OF VAN. HOWEVER, AS MORE PEOPLE ARE PURCHASING THIS VAN FOR THEIR FAMILIES WE HAVE READ MORE POSTS ABOUT THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE AND REFUSE TO CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS JUST HOW ALL PASSENGER VANS ARE.. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THE DESIGN OF THE AIR SYSTEM. MY CHILDREN ARE SWEATING, TURNING RED AND COMPLAIN OF THE HEAT IN THE BACK 2 ROWS. THE ONLY AREA THAT FEELS THE AIR CONDITIONER IS THE FRONT SEAT AND THE 2ND ROW BECAUSE THEY FEEL THE COLD FROM THE FRONT VENTS. I HAVE YOUNG KIDS SITTING IN THE BACK 2 ROWS IN CAR SEATS. I CANNOT VISUALLY SEE HOW HOT THEY ARE GETTING WHILE I'M DRIVING UNTIL WE GET TO OUR DESTINATION AND SEE THEY HAVE BEEN SWEATING PROFUSELY. WE COOL THE CAR OFF FAR AT LEAST 10 MINS BEFORE LOADING THE KIDS AND TRY TO PARK UNDER THE SHADE BUT THE VAN STILL DOES NOT COOL OFF PROPERLY IN THE BACK. I HAVE PURCHASED MINI FANS TO SO THE KIDS CAN TRY AND COOL THEMSELVES OFF WITH THEM BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH! SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE A CHILD SUFFERS FROM HEAT STROKE! NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION BEFORE A CHILD IS HURT. THE DESIGN OF THEIR AIR SYSTEM IS NOT ADEQUATE. THEY NEED TO REALIZE THAT THERE ARE FAMILIES THAT REQUIRE THE USE OF A PASSENGER VAN, WHO LIVE IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS. THEY CANNOT WAIT UNTIL A CHILD DIES FROM HEAT IN THEIR VEHICLE BEFORE THEY TAKE ANY ACTION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

• 09/20/2017· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  FUEL TANK WAS TAKING 20 MINUTES TO FILL. WE RECEIVED A FULL TANK WARRANTY EXTENSON NOTICE BUT IT TOOK THE DEALER 3 TRIPS TO FINALLY TO GET THE RIGHT PART AND REPLACE AND AFTER 2 HOURS THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE EVAP VENT VALVE AND CANISTER ASSEMBLY WITH FILTER FOR $620.00 I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE . THE DEALER SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. THEN WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED? I REFUSED TO HAVE THEM DO THIS AS I DON'T TRUST SINCE THEY COULDN'T EVEN GET THE RIGHT PART IN AND NEVER EVEN APOLOGIZED FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND DOWN TIME.

• 06/29/2015· WHEELS

  THE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE WEAR EXTREMELY PREMATURELY WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE AND STEER VERY BADLY.THE TIRES WILL MAKE A ROARING, BUMPING, AND A WHA WHA WHA SOUND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. THE TIRES WEAR SO VERY QUICKLY, WITHIN 3-4 MONTHS. THIS IS A VAN REPRESENTED AS A COMMERCIAL VAN,IT CANNOT MEET THE NEEDS OF COMMERCIAL TRANSPORTATION. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND NISSAN NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE TIRES TO WEAR SO QUICKLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND CONSUMERS ARE UNSAFE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. IT IS GOING TO CAUSE AN INCIDENT OR DEATHS! SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE NISSAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT SO CONSUMERS ARE SAFE DRIVING ON THE ROADS EVERY DAY FOR THEIR JOBS.

  I WAS DRIVING IN YORKTOWN, NY 10598 AND AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT THE CORNER OF HALLOCKS MILL RD. ON TO ROUTE 202, MY NISSAN NV200 VAN JUST STOPPED. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO FLASHING LIGHTS, NO SOUND, NOTHING TO INDICATE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. UP UNTIL THIS POINT, THE VAN WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY AS IT HAD BEEN DOING SINCE I GOT IT. I HAD NO REASON TO SUSPECT THAT IT WOULD JUST COME TO A DEAD HALT AND THE ENGINE WOULD DIE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOT MUCH TRAFFIC AND CARS WERE NOT GOING FAST. HOWEVER, IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON A MAIN ROAD, ESPECIALLY ONE OF THE HIGHWAYS THAT I TRAVEL ON, LIKE RTE. 84, THE MAJOR DEEGAN, THE TACONIC, ETC. I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. IMAGINE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC WITH TRUCKS BARRELING DOWN AT YOU AND YOUR CAR JUST STOPS! IMAGINE IF I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE VAN IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE AND I DON'T FEEL I CAN SAFELY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AGAIN.

• 04/02/2019· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  WHEN DRIVING OUR NV2500 ON A CITY STREET THE VAN JUST WENT DEAD. ENGINE QUIT, NO ELECTRICAL, NO DASH LIGHTS, NOTHING. I PUT THE VAN IN PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART. NOTHING, TOTALLY DEAD. WAITED A MINUTE OF SO AND TRIED TO RESTART - SAME AS BEFORE - NOTHING TOTALLY DEAD. OPENED THE HOOD AND CHECKED BATTERY CABLES - OK. LOOKED FOR ANY LOOSE IGNITION WIRE - OK. LOOKED UNDERNEATH VAN FOR ANY LIQUIDS COMING OUT OF ENGINE OR ANYTHING ELSE WEIRD -OK. WE CALLED AAA TO HAVE THE VAN TAKEN TO CLASSIC NISSAN IN STATESVILLE, NC. CALLED DEALER, EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND TOLD THEM VAN WAS GOING TO BE DROPPED OFF FOR EVALUATION. BEFORE AAA DRIVER GOT TO US I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE ONE MORE TIME - WHEN I TURNED THE KEY THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND VAN STARTED UP JUST FINE. TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED NO PROBLEM. ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THIS HAPPENED OUR VAN WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVE OVERNIGHT. WHEN WE GOT IN AND TRIED TO START IT - DEAD... NO IGNITION, NO ELECTRICAL, NO LIGHTS. I MADE SURE IT WAS IN PARK AND TRIED AGAIN, NOTHING. WE LOOKED IN NISSAN HANDBOOK TO TROUBLE SHOOT. WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN. STARTED RIGHT UP. CLASSIC NISSAN OF STATESVILLE REPORTED THAT OVER A 2 DAY PERIOD THE VEHICLE STARTED EVERY TIME TECH TRIED TO CRANK IT. THEY RAN THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 30 MINUTES BOTH DAYS - NO PROBLEM DETECTED. NO COMPUTER CODES. CHECKED AND TESTED BATTERY CONNECTIONS AND MAJOR GROUND CONNECTIONS - ALL FINE. I ASKED THEM ABOUT A POSSIBLE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH AS THERE IS A RECALL FOR THAT PROBLEM FOR 166K NISSANS INCLUDING NV2500. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT FOR A 2013 NV2500. IT WOULD COST ME OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY OWN BUT NISSAN SERVICE GUY SAID HE COULD NOT BE SURE THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. VERY CONCERNED THAT NISSAN HAS DOCUMENTED PROBLEMS WITH IGNITION SWITCH AND THE DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD ARISE WITH MAJOR STALL/ SHUTDOWN!!!

  VEHICLE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT POSTED SPEED LIMIT WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND. THE HOOD CAME OPEN AND SMASHED THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. GLASS ALL OVER ME AND THE DASHBOARD. WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHERE I WAS ABLE TO BE TOWED TO CLASSIC COLLISION IN EDGEWATER MD. IT SEEMS THAT THE LATCH FAILED AND THE SECONDARY SAFETY LATCH ALSO FAILED.

• 01/27/2022· AIR BAGS

  My wife stoped on the side of the road to talk with my son who was sitting in the front passenger seat. When my wife shut the door behind him all of the side curtain airbags deployed on the passenger side of the van. Three of my other children were inside the van when the bags depoyed. The two youngest 10, and 11, were sitting in the middle and were not hit with the bags. The oldest 14 was sittning next to the wall and was hit by the bags. There was no accident or impact that would have set the airbags off except the shutting of the front passenger door. The van is currently at Mossy Nissan in Houston TX and availible for inspection. We have filed with Nissan Corperate and they are opening an investigation. No warning lamps were present except a check engine light and low tire air pressure. Mossy nissan has supposedly ran a diagnostics on the van but have not told us the results. We are not confident that the dealership will be honest and forthcoming with information. When we brought the vehicle in we were met with skeptisism that we were being honest. Comments were overheard by my wife that were not appropriate to the situation.
