Occupant classification system (OCS) "from owners manual" after ignition switch is placed in the "on" position, the front passenger air bag status light on the instrument panel illuminates for about 7 seconds and turns off or remains illuminated depending on the front passenger seat occupied status. *unoccupied front passenger's seat: The light is off and the front air bag is off. And will not inflate in a crash. On my vehicle the light remains on constantly even when unoccupied, it does not turn off as stated. After reading numerous complaints from other Nissan owners, it is apparent the dealer does not want to "fix" the problem and just creates argument over the status of the light even when shown the owners manual on the proper operation of the front passenger air bag status light. It is very distracting and annoying with this bright yellow light in the middle of the dash, constantly on, especially at night when it is most noticeable. The light comes on from the time you start the car until you turn the car off, even when no one is sitting in the front passenger seat. Took car to dealer and they are not willing to fix the problem, they say it is working if the light remains on even when the front seat is unoccupied. That is not what the owners manual states, nor is it what other Nissan owners have been complaining about. The light should not stay on when the seat is unoccupied.

2015 Sentra has a wind noise that is related to interstate speeds and high cross winds. The least the noise will do is sound out in beeps and buzzes louder than polite conversation. At worst it can come as a full on blast of noise like a truck horn or someone suddenly yelling into your right ear while your concentrating on the rush hour traffic and the ever changing situation. No driver should have to put up this level of distraction while driving. My wife has been driving the Washington DC metro area roads and beltway for over 40 years. She has never had an at fault accident. She has never gotten a ticket. The driving here is a challenge due to the very high speeds the traffic moves at. My wife won't drive over 70 mph. Basically every one is blowing by her like she's sitting still. Having a random loud burst of noise in your ear is unnerving. Nissan states it's a characteristic of the car!! must be because the versa loaner did it too. With the Focus on not having distracted drivers it seems odd a manufacturer would promote this as a feature.

This car makes all kinds of noises like it's going to fall apart, it hesitates when at a stop light like if it has a transmission problem. The noises are when you slow down for a stop and then get ready to take off. It's like if it's an old car creaking and sounds like something is going to fall off.

While driving the Nissan at about 45 mph, I tried to let up on the gas pedal, but my shoe was caught on the base of the console, which delayed my ability to decrease my speed.
