  My vehicle has approximately 62,000 miles and is within the extended warranty range. • My wife's vehicle has exceeded 100,000 miles but experienced failure well within the original ownership period. Given the early failure, recurring defects, and known issues associated with CVT transmissions in these vehicles, we respectfully request a full resolution from Nissan North America. I wrote an email and sent it to a Nissan representative. I later called twice confirm that representative received it and left messages. Know when, I call no one answers the phone. You can only leave a message if you choose to do so.

• EA21002 · opened Sep 17, 2021 · openDesiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
  From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled…
