Electrical system: softwareReported March 25, 2014 · 989,701 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Altima, LEAF, Pathfinder, and Sentra, model year 2013 NV200 (aka Taxi) and Infiniti JX35 and model year 2014 Infiniti Q50 and QX60 vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the occupant classification system (OCS) software may incorrectly classify the passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult.
Risk
If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger airbag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.
Remedy
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will update the OCS software, free of charge. The recall began on April 14, 2014. Owners may contact Nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261.

Transmission failed at 101000 miles. Going 70 miles a hour on interstate.it slowed down to15 miles a hour, for the love of something no one hit me, but it could of been a deadly combo. I'm also on a fb group and everyone complains of their trans going out. Also before then alternator and radiator fan, maf throttle and purge valve at 90000 miles, which none is covered. I did pay $3000 for a extended warranty up to 116000 miles. But this transmission is a Worldwide Nissan problem and should of been recalled. Also my BCI continues malfunctioning. I've only had the vehicle since February 2022.

Airbag light flashing in dashboard; passenger front seat sensor not working- showing unoccupied when occupied with adult. VIN # not showing as part of recall, yet this is a known issue with the model/year. Interesting a common trend with certain VIN #s like mine shown on the federal safety agency complaints page. Another recall campaign needed to include these VIN numbers. Have reported several times to the dealership. I've now paid $1000 to repair the airbag sensors, and problem is not resolved. Nissan is responsible and this is a safety issue. NTSHA needs to do another recall campaign.

When I purchased the car no warning lights or problems were wrong with it it drove fine. The same day I got it home which is an hour away, the check engine light came on so i called them back. I took car back to shop and told them the code said it was the converter they said that was not right and it was just bad gas put in it so they reset engine light. As soon as i got back home the engine light came back on and then all the power locks on the doors stopped working. I took it to meinieke in greenville in which they said my converter went bad and that is why the engine light was on. Then they said it must have been in water because it was severe rust underneath the hood. and it effected electrical system. However, none of this information was on the car fax report. no flood damage, no repairs etc. Also none of this was occurring

I have replaced the battery in my 2013 infiniti jx35 3-4 times. Dealership continues to say this is normal. Recently, multiple exterior light bulbs have gone out and the 'instrument cluster' suddenly went dark while I was driving. I cannot see meters like gas, speed, etc. I cannot hear or see my blinker or headlight indicators. Additionally, all the power controls including speed control no longer work. I am concerned there is a significant electrical safety hazard. I no longer feel safe driving this car with my children. There are many reports of similar claims for the 2013 infiniti jx35 electrical system online. I would like infiniti to take responsibility for knowingly putting people in danger by refusing to acknowledge and fix a known problem with this car.

While driving the car (after few minutes after engine start), the entire instrument panel cluster (dashboard) went dead - no panel lights, none of the gauges - temperature, fuel, RPM, speedometer, etc. On the instrument cluster were working. The car ran normally - acceleration, braking, with all the lights (headlight, turning lights, etc.) working - but there was no indication to the driver of these commands, from the instrument dashboard / cluster panel.
