Driving on the highway my car suddenly lost power and has since been stuck in first or second gear after further research online it seems that a ton of Nissan/Infiniti owners both cars and suv have or had the same problem between as early as 24k-100k miles all owners I have read online has the same check engine light on with codes P0500/P0720
seat belt and air bag warning light on, had dealer check stated problem in the passenger seat cushion and notofied factory but no satisfaction.
While attempting to accelerate my car hesitates and slows down to about 5 miles an hour. This mostly happens in the morning, but does happen in the afternoon while attempting to accelerate to pass. This issue has almost caused me to get in accidents on several occasions. I first noticed this issue when I first purchased the vehicle. I took it in and it was kept at the dealership for a week or so. When it was returned the dealer told me they couldnât find a problem. I later took the car to another dealer and was the fuel injectors need to be cleaned but this did not fix the problem.
Driver side airbag deployed as I was turning the corner leaving me with no visual of pedestrians. The deployment resulted in lacerations on my forearm and a knot on my head with a busted lip. My vehicle is technically not drivable because my seatbelts are locked. I am also afraid of driving my vehicle due to the other airbags deploying on my family out of no where. There were no prior lights or warnings to this incident.
OUR SUNROOF GLASS SHATERED FOR NO APPERENT REASON. APPERENTLY THIS Has happened to many car owners and the car company's push it off on insurance. But this is a potential huge hazard.

No. A complaint is an unverified report from an owner. A technical service bulletin (TSB) is the manufacturer telling dealers how to fix a known issue; it is not a safety recall and is usually covered only under warranty. A recall is a formal safety action, and its repair is free.
File a vehicle safety complaint at NHTSA.gov. NHTSA reads every report, and patterns of complaints are what open defect investigations and, eventually, recalls.
