Nissan GT-R

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan GT-R. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a blinding glare coming from the windshield, compromising driver visibility. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 8,800.

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS BLINKING. AFTER DEALER DIAGNOSED, DETERMINED FAULTY SENSOR B1018 PASSENGER OCCUPANT SENSOR UNIT FAIL. I HAVE NOT CHANGED A SEAT OR ALTERED ANYTHING TO THE SYSTEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE IT INVOLVES THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE.

THE LED IN MY GTR CLUSTER ARE NO LONGER WORKING, THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND ARE NOT REPLACEABLE = NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE CLUSTER DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. SAFETY IS EVERYTHING, NISSAN NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY BEHIND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE CLUSTER WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE REPAIR SHOULD BE SIMPLE AND REPAIRABLE BUT IN THIS CASE IT IS NOT.

AS I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45MPH THE LOW OIL PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT TURNED ON AND THEN TURNED OFF. THE NEXT DAY I THOUGHT IT WAS GONE BUT THEN IT TURNED BACK ON AND THIS TIME THE SENSOR LIGHT DID NOT TURN OFF. AFTER THIS LIGHT WAS STILL ON I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO JO TECH (972) 494-2100. WHEN I TOOK IT TO JO TECH I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT JUST SOME SMALL SENSOR ISSUE BUT AN ENGINE PROBLEM. AFTER FINDING THIS OUT I TOWED IT OVER TO COURTESY NISSAN. AT NISSAN I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WARRANTY…

I NOTED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON MY DASH REGARDING A FAILURE TO THE ABS.I WENT TO THE DEALER WHO PULLED A CODE C1111 FOR A FAILED HYDRAULIC CONTROL ASSEMBLY; A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. MY CAR HAS ONLY 19K MILES, AND IS LIGHTLY DRIVEN. ONLINE RESEARCH ON GT-R BLOGS, AND ELSEWHERE REVEAL THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON EARLY GT-RS, AFFECTING A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THEM AT LOW MILEAGE. I CONTACTED NISSAN'S GT-R REPORT LINE, AND THEY WERE OF NO HELP. I RECENTLY SAW A RECALL ON OTHER NISSAN…

1. MANY LEDS IN DASH CLUSTER HAVE GONE OUT WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE DRIVING AT NIGHT. 2. THERE IS A FAILURE OF THE AM/FM TUNER. BOTH ISSUES ARE KNOWN TO NISSAN BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX IN MY CAR STATING THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT AFFECTED WHICH IT MOST CERTAINLY IS: HTTP://WWW.2009GTR.COM/2012/01/NISSAN-EXTENDS-WARRANTY-ON-INSTRUMENT.HTML

I'M WRITING THIS BECAUSE THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE CLUSTER LIGHT IS OUT ON MY 2009 GT-R, AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH NISSAN OF AMERICA/CANADA BUT LIKE MOST WITH THEIR LIGHTS OUT THE 'EXTENDED' WARRANTY EXPIRED BEFORE THE ISSUE OCCURRED. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THEIR GAUGE CLUSTER LIGHTS OUT. HTTP://WWW.GTRLIFE.COM/FORUMS/TOPIC/44110-OFFICIAL-NAGTROC-GAUGE-LIGHT-OUT-THREAD/PAGE-14 THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT NISSAN WILL NOT OWN UP TO OR ACKNOWLEDGE. NO VEHICLE…

THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE CLUSTER ON A 2009-2010 GTR HAS A COMMON PROBLEM WHERE THE LEDS BEHIND THE FUEL GAUGE END OF BURNING OUT. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND OFFERED A FACTORY EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM 3 YEARS / 36K MILES TO 6 YEARS / UNLIMITED MILES. EVEN SO, FOR OWNERS LIKE MYSELF WITH A LOW MILEAGE CAR THAT HAVE PASSED THE TIME PERIOD BUT HAVE A BROKEN CLUSTER. IT'S A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE AND DUE TO THIS TECHNICALITY NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE THE CLUSTER.

TRANSMISSION ON MY 2010 NISSAN GTR FAILED AT 40,138 MILES. NISSAN WANTS ME TO PAY 18,000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. STATED THAT THEY DON'T REPAIR THEM. CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE OR FORWARD GEARS AFTER NORMAL DRIVING. NISSAN CHARGED ME 1034.00 DOLLARS TO LOOK TO SEE IF THEY COULD IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. NO DETAILS INCLUDED IN THE ACCESSMENT BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACE AND IT WOULD COST OFER $18000.00 TO REPLACE. THE TRANSMISSION ONLY HAS 40,138 MILES ON IT AND…

VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NO POWER THIS COULD BE LINKED TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR AT WHICH POINT IF SEEMED TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM. AFTER WE ADDED FUEL IF THE VEHICLE GETS DOWN TO A QUARTER OF A TANK PROBLEMS START TO HAPPEN GAUGE INDICATED THAT 64 MILES OF GAS REMAINED IN THE TANK BUT THE PROBLEM STILL TOOK PLACE MOVING AT A SPEED OF 45 MILES AN HOUR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFICE VEHICLE ALSO STOPPED AND COULD NOT BE STARTED WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE.
