Dangerous lurching and sometimes with not engage. Other Nissan models have the same problem. The diagnostic code is U0101 bad communication between TCM and Vehicle.
Engine light came on, and vehicle accelerated, then lost acceleration while revolutions increased. Diagnosis indicates Bad TCM. I went to 3 shops, and all said that the TCM are going bad, especially Infinity. Nissan wants to charge $500 just to try to reset it. The Dealership is the only ones that can perform this task.
Air bag light began blinking. I brought it to a nissan dealer for service and that have replaced and charged me for multiple parts in excess of $2,000.00. They stated my car was ready and repaired. Upon picking up my car the light was still blinking. They stated it's additional parts and cost to finish repair but if I wanted the car for the weekend I can have it and return when the parts come in. They were going to give my car back to me with a defective air bag system which I feel is extremely unsafe. They also damaged my front bumper which they had to repair. I don't feel they changed out some parts they charged me for. The car has been with them for repair since 08/22/2024. Nissan is not standing behind their product or safety.

Collision into heavy BUS that crossed my path. Nissan totaled, airbags failed with high speed crash 55 plus mph with injuries. The passenger seat airbag light always stayed on since purchase. Nissan doing all they can to get out of the situation. Lots of excuses. Turned issue over to my insurance company to try to resolve with Nissan.
Drove for an hour, parked for 20 mins started proceeding south drive about 500ft to make right turn when vehicle suddenly accelerated out of control reving up swirving out if control on the northbound lane almost hitting cars and a tree. Finally I got it to stop by breaking and parked at the side of the street in the southbound lane. I thought I was about to crash kill some onw and die. This was an unnerving terrifying experience
