It started when I purchased it in February 2025 Mileage was 99200 I noticed the seatbelt warning signs didn't ding if I didn't have my seatbelt on. And the sunroof not only was leaking but it is coming apart where it is held in place I'm afraid it will suddenly come down and strike me without notice while driving. Theee days ago I noticed the airbag light came on while I had the driver assist engaged so I stopped and turned the driver assistance light on and then off which caused the airbag light to turn off . But today with 1100 miles on the vehicle I was driving and the light. Came on as I was driving again. I tried turning off the drivers assistance button but the light stays on!!! I'm concerned about the safety while driving with the airbag light, the seatbelt not signaling when the seatbelt is not on it ding to remind me that someone doesn't have their seat belt on. …
On September 18, 2022 our front passenger seatbelt stopped working. Nothing happened to cause it to break, but it locked up and is unable to be used. The earliest I could get an appointment to have it looked at was September 28, 2022. I brought it in that day and was told that the part was being ordered and would arrive within 2-3 days. A week later, after still not hearing from Nissan, I called and was told that the part had been shipped but that there was no delivery information. Another week went by and this time when I called I was told the part was on backorder. I've spoken with Nissan's Consumer Affairs and was told that this would be escalated but it still hasn't been fixed. A broken seatbelt puts anyone in that seat at risk.
The passenger front seatbelt is locked and cannot be used. Was working fine day before then went to use it and it was locked. My mechanic checked it out and stated that I needed a new retractor. I think this should be covered by the Nissan manufacuture, as it is a safety issue. My car is seven years old and only has 54,000 miles. I have had two other new cars, which both have lasted me for 16 years each and I have never had any problems with the seats belts at all. I would appreciate your assistance to have them repair this issue ASAP., as it is a safety issure that should not have occured. Thank you Toni Smiles
