1 Software problem of the 2013 Nissan Sentra

Failure Date: 08/01/2013

Issue1: the occupant classification system (OCS) software incorrectly classify the passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult. This is happening when the vehicle is in motion or stationary. This life-threatening problem substantially impairs the use and value of my vehicle and also it creates a serious safety hazard. I have been harassed by the local dealer due to their repeated ineffective attempts to fix this issue. Issue2: groaning sound from brakes when driving downhill. Local dealer couldn't able to fix this issue.
