MY CAR'S POWER STEERING STOP WORKING. ACCORDING TO NISSAN I NEED A NEW POWER STEERING COLUMN, PRICE 1795.00 PLUS LABOR AND TAX. THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THE NISSAN SENTRA 2007 FOR THIS SAME REASON BUT FOR SOME REASON MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

POWER TRAIN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE SOUND WOULD STOP ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHED A CERTAIN SPEED, BUT CONTINUED ONCE THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE REPAIRED ACCORDING TO AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.
Oct 14, 2014
VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING STALLING ON A STOP AND HESITATING IN REVERSE FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS. THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO FUEL PUMP ISSUES. THEN, HEARD A LOUD CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO SLOW. WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN HAS AN EXTENDED 120,000 WARRANTY ON TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE HAD 120,815 MILES. THEY ONLY REPLACED 50%, CAUSING ME TO PAY $1500. THESE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION CLEARLY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT DEFECT CAUSING THESE ISSUES THAT NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEDGED BY DOUBLING THE WARRANTY, BUT THIS IS INSUFFICIENT. THE TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE PAID ANYTHING FOR THE REPAIRS. ADDITIONALLY, THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WAS A NISSAN REMANUFACTURED WITH REFURBISHED PARTS, NOT NEW. BASED ON THE NUMEROUS CONSUMERS REPORTING THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE VEHICLES 2 OR 3 TIMES, I WILL NOT BE KEEPING THIS VEHICLE, NOR WILL I EVER BUY A NISSAN PRODUCT AGAIN. *TR
Sep 16, 2014
NISSAN TRANSMISSION LAST JUST FIVE YEARS BEFORE YOU NEEDS TO REPLACE THEM I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AROUND 65 TO 75 MPH WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. I PULLED OVER TO THE NEARBY EXIT INTO A GAS STATION TURN OFF MY CAR AND ADD MORE GAS AND OIL INTO THE CAR. WHEN I TURN BACK ON MY CAR I NOTICE THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, GOT A DIAGNOSTICS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE WAS PO840 AND PO845 CODES MEAN TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR/ SWITCH. TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN DEALER REPAIR SHOP THEY SAID THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT AND I NEED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. GOT IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THEY REFUSE TO FIX MY PROBLEM. MY NISSAN IS A FIVE YEAR OLD CAR WITH 133000 MILE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR MY TRANSMISSION THAT COST $ 3600.00 DOLLARS JUST FOR THE PARTS NOT THE LOBAR. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO GET NISSAN TO FIX MY CAR FOR FREE. I ALSO LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO SOLVE YOUR ISSUES. *TR
Aug 08, 2012
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD DECELERATE INDEPENDENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD AGAIN NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000.
Nov 10, 2011
THE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE RECALLED VOLUNTARILY DUE TO A MAJOR DEFECT THAT SEEMS TO BE CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO OVERHEAT AND FAIL. FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS, MY CAR HAS BEEN HESITATING FROM A DEAD STOP, WHICH I CHALKED UP TO HIGH TEMPERATURES AND A/C USAGE. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR WAS WHINY WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY GAVE OUT, THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME, THEN THE RPM'S WERE TERRIBLY ERRATIC AND THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING ALL TOGETHER. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HAD A FOUL ODOR COMING FROM IT. AFTER ALLOWING THE CAR TO SIT FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, WE PROCEEDED ON TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD TRANSMISSION. THIS LEFT US STRANDED WITH NO CAR IN ANOTHER STATE SO WE HAD TO RENT A CAR TO MAKE IT HOME, AND WILL HAVE TO TRAVEL OUT OF STATE TO RETRIEVE THE CAR WHEN IT IS FIXED, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS BECAUSE THAT IS HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PART IN STOCK. WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN, I WAS OFFERED NO HELP... THANK GOODNESS THE TRANSMISSION IS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY MADE NO OFFER TO HELP US GET THE CAR TO OUR HOME STATE - BASICALLY IT WAS OUR TOUGH LUCK. IF THEY WOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT, THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. I AM POSTING MY EXPERIENCE, ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER SENTRA OWNERS ONLINE IN AS MANY FORUMS AS POSSIBLE SO PEOPLE CAN PREPARE FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THEIR CARS. WE WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A TICKING NOISE FROM FRONT PASSENGER ENGINE AREA AT A STOP LIGHT, AS I BEGAN THROUGH INTERSECTION ONCE IT TURNED GREEN THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED ON ME AS TRAFFIC BEGAN MOVING AGAIN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THERE WERE NO PRE WARNINGS, DASH WARNING LIGHTS THAT CAME ON PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER THE NEXT DAY (4 YEAR OLD CAR W/ 75K MILES) AND WAS TOLD THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE I NEED A NEW MOTOR BUT WOULD NOT ELABORATE AS TO WHAT EXACTLY IT WAS BUT ADVISED ME I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I COULD BUY A NEW MOTOR FROM THEM FOR 6500$. BEING COMPLETELY STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION HAS SCARED ME ENOUGH NOT TO EVEN WANT TO GET BACK IN THE VEHICLE SO AS OF RIGHT NOW IT SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY A 4 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 75K MILES ON IT THAT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE TBONED IN AN INTERSECTION AND NO ONE HAS ANY ANSWERS FOR ME, ONLY WANT MONEY TO GIVE A NEW MOTOR. NISSAN CORP HAS BEEN CONTACTED WITH OUT ANY ASSISTANCE PROVIDED. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR, WHICH I OBVIOUSLY WONT, I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OUT THERE FOR THE SAME EXACT "UNKNOWN" PROBLEM THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD. *TR
Sep 08, 2011
I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA WITH 53,000 MILES. STARTED MAKING LOUD RATTLING NOISES WHEN TURNING TO RIGHT AND WHEN COLD TO START. STARTED TO GET VERY SCARY AND TOOK INTO MECHANIC, SINCE NISSAN CHARGES $120 JUST TO DIAGNOSE, EVEN IF UNDER WARRANTY. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE RIGHT MOTOR MOUNT AND WAS EXTREMELY UNUSUAL TO SEE WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. I SPOKE WITH A FRIEND THAT WORKED AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID IT ALWAYS HAPPENS, AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. I SPOKE TO CORPORATE, AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP AT ALL. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN WHEN YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR CAR AND HAVE LOW MILEAGE. I WILL NEVER BUY NISSAN AGAIN. *TR
Nov 05, 2010
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS FROM DEFECTIVE GASOLINE. WHEN THE LIGHT IMMEDIATELY CAME BACK ON, THE DEALER TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND DENIED WARRANTY REPAIRS BECAUSE I HAD CHANGED MY OWN OIL AND COULD NOT SHOW RECEIPTS FROM A COMMERCIAL OIL CHANGE. *TR
Sep 06, 2010
I DROVE THE 2007 NISSAN SENTRA FOR ABOUT 7 MONTHS WITH ALMOST NO ISSUES EXCEPT THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON." I TOOK IT TO THE DEAL FOR THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCES AND HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES, AND USED PREMIUM GAS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60MPH, THE CAR STALLED AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER. IT WAS A VERY TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. RECENTLY I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING THE BRAKE FLUID LEAK. I KNOW THAT FLUID AND ELECTRICITY DO NOT MIX, SO IT MAY VERY WELL HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. *TR
Dec 16, 2008
THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WAS A SEPARATE NOISE FROM THAT OF THE ENGINE. IT WAS LIKE A RATTLING/LOUD SOUND. EVERY TIME I WOULD TURN TO THE RIGHT AND ALSO REVERSE, THE SOUND WAS LOUDER. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN TECHNICIAN AND THEY FOUND THE MOTOR MOUNT WAS BROKEN. AFTER REPLACING THE MOTOR MOUNT THE VEHICLE SOUND JUST LIKE NEW (JUST HOW IS WAS SUPPOSED TO SOUND). *TR

TIRES
7 complaints
I TOOK MY 2007 NISSAN SENTRA TO THE COSTCO ON 7 JANUARY 2010 IN ORDER TO HAVE 4 NEW TIRES PUT ON THE CAR. I WAS ADVISED THAT TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR PACKS FOR EACH TIRE BE REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME THE TIRES WERE BEING REPLACED AND THAT THE COST WOULD $2.00 PER TIRE. WHEN THE TIRE TECHNICIANS ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE FIRST SERVICE PACK THEY FOUND THAT THE SENSOR NUT ON THE REAR LEFT TIRE HAD SEIZED UP. THEY THEN FOUND THAT THE SENSOR NUT ON THE FRONT LEFT TIRE HAD ALSO SEIZED UP AND THE TIRE SENSOR CRACKED. FOR THIS REASON IT HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH A RUBBER STEM. IT WAS REPORTED TO ME THAT THIS WAS COMMON WITH NISSANS BECAUSE THEY ARE PUT ON TOO TIGHTLY BY THE FACTORY WHEN THE NISSANS ARE MANUFACTURED. AFTER HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE SENSORS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR, THE COSTCO TECHNICIANS DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE TRYING TO REPLACE THE ONES ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE SENSORS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THAT IT WOULD BE $650 TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS. I REFUSED TO PAY FOR THEM TO BE REPLACED AFTER BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS A SPECIFIC PROBLEM THAT NISSANS ARE HAVING. SO NOW THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON ALL OF THE TIME DUE TO ONE OF THE TIRE SENSORS BEING REPLACED BY A RUBBER STEM. SO IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE FOUR TIRES I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TELL IT VIA THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT SINCE IT STAYS LIT ALL OF THE TIME. I ASKED AT COSTCO IF THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ANY OTHER MAKES OF CARS WHEN IT COMES TO THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS ONLY WITH NISSANS. SO OBVIOUSLY I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND IT MIGHT WARRANT AN INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLE RECALL - OUT OF CONSIDERATION OF THE COST ($650 TO REPLACE 4 TIRES PRESSURE SENSORS) AS WELL AS THE SAFETY CONCERN. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
Jan 12, 2010
THE TIRE SENSOR LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRES EVERY OTHER DAY. WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES AND THEY ARE RATED FOR 80,000, I HAD THEM CHECKED BY A TIRE STORE. THEY FOUND A BUBBLE ON THE INSIDE & OUTSIDE WALL. THEY ALSO FOUND WHAT APPEARED TO BE SLASH MARKS ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. WOULD NOT LET ME DRIVE AWAY WITHOUT SIGNING A RELEASE STATING THAT I WAS AWARE OF THE CONDITION. NISSAN DEALER IS NO HELP, THEY JUST DIRECT ME TO BRIDGESTONE. TIRES WERE ROTATED ON SCHEDULE BY THE DEALER. *TR
Nov 10, 2009
WAS WASHING MY CAR AND NOTICE THAT ALL 4 TIRES HAVE CRACKS ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TIRE. I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA WITH ONLY 12,000 MILES, I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN DEC. 2006. I WENT TO NISSAN DEALER, THEY SAID IT IS JUST DRY ROT, BUT IT NOTHING THEY CAN DO EVENTUALLY I'LL NEED NEW TIRES. WENT TO FIRESTONE/BRIDGESTONE AND THEY SEEM UNCONCERN, JUST THAT IT IS THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH WE LIVE WITH THE COLD THEN HEAT WHICH DRY THE TIRES OUT. MY CONCERN IS I ONLY HAD THESE TIRES JUST A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS AND NOT 4 OR 5 THE LIFE TIME OF THESE TIRES, THEY SHOULD NO BE CRACKING LIKE THIS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER, I FEEL THAT HAVE BEEN SOLD A CAR WITH BAD TIRES. *TR
Mar 22, 2009
DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED 4 NEW TIRES AND 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT BY THE DEALER. THE ESTIMATED COST WAS INCREDIBLY HIGH. I ONLY HAD 35,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I FOUND A GOOD MASTER MECHANIC OF OVER 20 YEARS, BOUGHT NEW TIRES AND HAD ALIGNMENT DONE. I WAS TOLD THE REAR WHEELS ARE BOWED IN AND MANUFACTURER DOES NOT CALL FOR ANY ADJUSTMENT. HE SHOWED ME THE BACK OF THE CAR VISIBLE TURNING IN SLIGHTLY ON EACH SIDE AND ON THE TOP. ONLY WAY TO BE THAT WAY WOULD BE IF THE BAR WAS BENT. SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. DEALER SAID THE BACK WHEELS PASSED BUT ARE NOT AT 0 AS THE FRONT WAS. IT WAS -15 WHICH IS CONSIDERED PASSING. THEIR MECHANIC TOLD ME THE MANUFACTURER DESIGNED THIS CAR TO BE LIKE THAT IN THE REAR SO WHEN YOU HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK OR WEIGHT IN YOUR TRUNK THE WHEELS WOULD THEN BE STRAIGHT! WHAT IF YOU ARE LIKE ME AND HARDLY EVER HAVE ANY PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT NOR WEIGHT OF ANY KIND IN THE TRUNK? NOW THE TIRES ARE TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY? ALSO MY CAR IN FRONT WAS WAY OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND TIRES WERE PREMATURELY WORN. DEALER TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY TO GET 35,000 MILES OUT OF MY CAR THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ONLY GET 16,000. I AM STILL PURSUING THIS MATTER AND THIS IS STEP ONE ABOVE THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES ALSO WHICH I WILL POST IN THE APPROPRIATE CATEGORY. ALSO NOW THE TIRE GAUGE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. *TR
Jan 20, 2009
WE ARE EXPERIENCING SEVERE REAR TIRE WEAR. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM UNTIL THE THIRD VISIT WHEN WE WENT WITH HANDFUL OF TESTIMONIALS( PRINTED FROM CAR REVIEW SITES ON INTERNET) FROM OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR NISSAN 2007-2008 SENTRA'S. ON OUR THIRD VISIT DEALERSHIP MANAGER SAID HE WOULD CALL NISSAN CORP. AND PERSONALLY SPEAK TO REGIONAL MANAGER ON OUR BEHALF. WE ALSO CALLED NISSAN CORP. AND FILED A COMPLAINT ON 06/17/08. RM CALLED US ON 6/18/08 AND LEFT MESSAGE SIDESTEPPING REAR END ISSUE BY STATING TO US THAT TIRES ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY BY NISSAN. ??. WE RETURNED CALL TO REGIONAL MANAGER TELLING HER THAT TIRES AT THIS TIME ARE NOT THE ISSUE, IT IS A DEFECTIVE REAR END, SUSPENSION OR ENGINEERING. WE JUST WANT THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
4 complaints
Lost brakes on the highway luckily was able to stop safely. As you can see in the pic the rear left brake line completely corroded in 1 spot and another spot was ready to completely fail, those spots are incidentally the spots where the line attaches to the body for support, those points don't have the corrosion protection that the entire line has.
Oct 25, 2022
I FOUND WHILE RESEARCHING AN ISSUE ON MY NISSAN SENTRA 2007 THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE MASTER CYLINDER IN 2008 BECAUSE THE SAME ISSUE THAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME COULD HAPPEN. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION AND APPARENTLY I WAS NOT ON THE LIST BUT MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD THE MAINTENANCE SHOP CHECK MY BRAKES THEY SAID MY PADS WERE FINE. THAT I WAS PROBABLY HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE WARNING LIGHT. 2 WEEKS AGO I GOT IN MY CAR AND WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE I HAD TO PUSH MY FOOT ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND. I EVENTUALLY MADE MY WAY TO MY LOCAL FIRESTONE AND HAD THEM CHECK MY BRAKES ONLY THO FIND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THEY PULLED THEM THEY SAID THEY WERE FULL OF BRAKE FLUID. THAT IS WHY I HAD NO BRAKES. THIS IS THE EXACT ISSUE LISTED IN THE RECALL. WHY WAS I NOT SENT THIS RECALL NOTICE AS I OBVIOUSLY HAD DEFECTIVE CYLINDERS AND I HAD TO SPEND 1300.00 TO REPAIR.

ENGINE

CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT BEGUN SPUTTERING AND SHAKING AS I ACCELERATED. I DROVE BACK HOME, ABOUT 5 MINUTES, AND OPENED THE HOOD. CAR WAS ON AND PARKED FOR THE VISUAL INSPECTION. MY PARTNER PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO SEE IF I COULD SEE WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE MOTOR SHOOK WHEN IT WAS PUT IN REVERSE. IMMEDIATELY SOMETHING NEAR THE FUEL LINES STARTED TO EMIT SMOKE. IT LOOKED LIKE ALUMINUM FOIL. THE CAR HAD A HALF TANK OF GAS AND GAUGES SEEMED NORMAL. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE TO GET MY TOOLS. WHEN I CAME OUT, THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES COMING FROM THE MOTOR. 9-1-1 WAS CALLED AND FIREFIGHTERS PUT OUT THE FIRE IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THE FIRE SPREAD RAPIDLY AND THE CAR WAS DESTROYED WHEN THE FIRE WAS FINALLY EXTINGUISHED. *TR

LUCKILY MY HUSBAND, WHO WAS DRIVING, WAS ON A CITY STREET AT THE TIME BUT HAD TO EVENTUALLY CROSS A BRIDGE AND WAS EXTREMELY NERVOUS DOING SO. I HAVE A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SCARY SITUATION AND CAUSES EXTREME ANXIETY IN ME KNOWING THAT THE ENGINE COULD CUT OFF AT ANY MOMENT AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH AND/OR FATALITY. *TR

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT IN REGARDS THE THE FUEL GAUGE/DISTANCE TO EMPTY METER. FEW WEEKS AGO IT STARTED TO MISSREAD. I FILL UP AND ITS ALREADY 2 BARS EMPTY. EVERYTIME I START THE CAR UP IT DROPS A BAR AND I'VE NOTICED A DRASTIC DROP IN THE DTE OF UP TO 50 MILES ON HIGHWAY TRAVELING OF ON 24 MILES. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND TRY TO SEE WHY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH LOTS OF PEOPLE AND THAT IT IS BEING LOOKED AT AS NORMAL. IF IT IS NORMAL IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE FOR NISSAN TO HAVE SENT A LETTER OR SOMETHING TO CAR OWNERS LETTING THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT IT IS HAPPENING AND THAT THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT CAN REMEDY THE SITUATION. I HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE DAYS JUST TO FIND OUT THAT BASICALLY THE ONLY WAY IT WOULD BE CORRECTED WOULD BE IF NISSAN FOUND IT A RECALLABLE ITEM SINCE THERE IS NO CODE TO WORK WITH WHEN THEY PUT IT ON A MACHINE. I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS A SAFETY ISSUE CAUSE ITS OBVIOUSLY MALFUNCTIONING EQUIPMENT, IF ITS NOT READING RIGHT IT COULD EASILY LEAD TO ME BEING STRANDED ON A HIGHWAY DUE TO INCORRECT FUEL READINGS. *CN

APPROXIMATELY JUNE OF 2004 MY SENTRA BEGAN TO HAVE EXTENDED CRANK TIMES TO START, ESPECIALLY AFTER SITTING FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAULTY CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL PUMP. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY UNDER WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY. THE THIRD TIME THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE SENTRA WAS 1500 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CAR IS NOW AT 82000 MILES AND THE BEGINNING TO HAVE LONG CRANK TIMES AGAIN. *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN SENTRA WAS PULLING HARD TO THE LEFT WITH BRAND NEW TIRES JUST INSTALLED THE DAY BEFORE, SO I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER TWO ALIGNMENTS HAD BEEN PERFORMED WITH NO CHANGE IN THE HANDLING OR PULLING OF THE CAR. IT WAS DIVULGED AFTER A DAY OF DIAGNOSTICS THAT THE CAR HAD A BENT REAR AXLE REPLACED IN APRIL OF 2009. FROM THE FACTORY IT WAS CONVEYED THAT MY PARTICULAR MODEL HAD THE WRONG AXLE INSTALLED ON IT AND MANY OTHER VEHICLES FROM MY MODEL YEAR WERE AFFECTED. THE CAR LEFT THE SHOP AND WAS NO LONGER PULLING. GRADUALLY MY ALIGNMENT BEGAN TO WORSEN AND SINCE THE INCIDENT I HAD IT REDONE 4 TIMES SINCE APRIL. THE FINAL TIME I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP TO KEEP THE CAR BECAUSE SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG AND THEY DID TWO DAYS WORTH OF TEST TO RULE OUT TIRE WEAR AND OTHER PROBLEMS. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE NEW REAR AXLE WAS BENT AT A 20 DEGREE ANGLE CAUSING THE PULL. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY LOW PROFILE TIRES OR RIMS NOR A COLLISION THAT WOULD CAUSE THE DAMAGE AS THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO TESTIFY TOO YET THE AXLE STILL BENT. IT WAS NOT COVERED THIS TIME AND THE PULL WAS DANGEROUS STILL TO THE LEFT. THIS MUST BE A DEFECT WITH THIS MODEL YEAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR ROUTINE INSPECTION AND WAS INFORMED THAT HE NEEDED A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. THE PSI WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS MADE, THE CONTACT HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY INSERT AIR INTO THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING 41 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL OVERTURNED AND CAUSED HIM TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ROLLOVER. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MODERATE INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE; THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME ANY FINANCIAL LIABILITY. THE CONTACT HAS PICTURES OF THE FAILURE AND A COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 18,000. UPDATED 08/04/08 *BF

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA. ON OCTOBER 6, 2007, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR ITS 7,500 MILE MAINTENANCE SERVICE. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AND BALANCED AT THAT TIME. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 65-70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND SHAKE. HE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT HE COULD TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER THAT WAS LOCATED CLOSER TO HIM. AT THAT TIME, HE AND THE DEALER BELIEVED THE TIRES JUST NEEDED TO BE ALIGNED. WHEN HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER, THEY FOUND THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ADDITION TO THE TWO TIRES THAT WERE JUST ROTATED FROM THE REAR TO THE FRONT. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY STILL WITH THE DEALER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 7,700.

Problem is cvt transmission. Transmission main seal leak. Whine, to loss in acceleration and power. At certain speed. Cvt internal belt flapping. Resulted in full shut down of vehicle while on highway. Caused speed control sensor and throttle body sensor to go out which started minor electrical fire in the engine compartment which could have resulted in great bodily injury and possibly hurting others if accident would have and very much could resulted in for sure. Multiple times to mechanic resulting in stress and out of pocket expensive currently with a mechanic now. Nissan cvt transmission...

MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS PARKED WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE LIGHT ON. AFTER NOTICING, I THEN PROCEEDED TO MAKE SURE ALL FOUR TIRES HAD CORRECT AMOUNT OF AIR AND TO AND TO TURN OFF CAR AND BACK ON TO RESET. AFTER DOING SO THE LIGHT HAS CONTINUED TO REMAIN ON. ALSO MY PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BEEN FLASHING ON AND OFF WHILE CARE IS IN START MODE. I AM UNSURE THE CAUSE OF IT. MY VEHICLE ALSO CUT OFF WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT A FEW WEEK AGO. UNSURE IF THE PROBLEMS WERE RELATED.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT-BELT ON THIS NISSAN SENTRA CANNOT BE APPLIED WHEN PARKED ON A HILL. THERE ARE ONLY SOLUTIONS THAT WORK: PLACE THE SEAT-BELT OVER THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN PARKING, AND REMEMBERING TO SIT-BACK DOWN WITHOUT ALLOWING THE BELT TO RETURN TO THE UNUSED POSITION WHEN BUCKLING BACK UP. THE OTHER SOLUTION IS TO DRIVE WITHOUT WEARING YOUR SEAT-BELT UNTIL YOU REACH A SURFACE FLAT ENOUGH THAT THE SEAT-BELT MECHANISM DISENGAGES ENOUGH TO ALLOW YOU TO BUCKLE UP. OBVIOUSLY, BOTH SOLUTIONS ARE UNREALISTIC AND REPRESENT A REAL SAFETY RISK FOR MOTORISTS. MANY MOTORISTS MAY GIVE UP AND ASSUME THE SEAT-BELT IS BROKEN IF THEY SEE THIS.

ON FEBRUARY 9, 2015 I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN SENTRA AND EVERYTHING STOPPED (ALL POWER) I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY SO I GOT A JUMP IT STARTED AND I DROVE TO THE STORE. WHEN I STOPPED AT A STORE THE CAR WAS DEAD AGAIN. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION I REALIZED THE BATTERY TERMINAL ON THE POSITIVE SIDE WAS NOT STAYING ON THE BATTERY SO THEREFORE THE POWER IN THE CAR COULD STOP AT ANY TIME. I RESEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPEN WITH ANY OTHER NISSAN SENTRAS, AND FOUND IT HAD SO I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALLS FOR THE CAR I HAVE DID NOT INCLUDE THE BATTERY TERMINAL. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THIS EXACT PROBLEM WAS AN ISSUE REPORTED AND RECALLS DONE FOR OTHER SENTRAS IS IT POSSIBLE THE SAME COULD BE FOR MY CAR. I THINK THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN SHOULD REPAIR THE CAR. *TR

THE CAR RAN FINE, UNTIL ONE DAY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMED TO DIE (ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED) AND THE CAR SEEMED TO LOCK ITSELF UP. THE POWER STEERING STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND MADE IT HARD TO DRIVE. AFTER PULLING OVER TO RESTART IT, IT WOULD NOT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT MAY BE THE BATTERY, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE EXACT PROBLEM. IT'S BEEN NEARLY A WEEK SINCE THE PROBLEM STARTED AND NO RESOLUTION YET. I CHOSE TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION IT BECAME VERY UNSAFE TO OPERATE. SINCE I WAS IN A FAIRLY RESIDENTIAL AREA IT WASN'T HARD FOR ME TO PULL OVER AND GET HELP, BUT HAD I BEEN ON A MAJOR ROADWAY I COULD SEE THIS PROBLEM BEING POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS. I ALSO FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE MORE CLOSELY LOOKED AT SINCE THE TECHNICIANS WERE NOT ABLE TO ACCURATELY IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAD YET TO BE SEEN UNTIL I BROUGHT MY CAR IN. *TR

ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE MAKING RIGHT TURNS, THE ENGINE FAILED TO OPERATE. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND APPEARED TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, THE ENGINE FAILED TO RESTART AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NISSAN MAINTENANCE WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BATTERY WAS LEAKING ACID, WHICH WAS INGESTED IN TO THE AIR INTAKE, DESTROYING THE AIR FILTER AND CAUSING SEVERE CONTAMINATION OF THE SPARK PLUGS AND FUEL INJECTOR SYSTEM, AS WELL AS CORROSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRAMING. HAD THIS ENGINE FAILED ON THE FREEWAY, IT WOULD HAVE JEOPARDIZED THE LIVES OF THE OCCUPANTS. ACTION IS BEING ADDRESSED WITH THE BATTERY MANUFACTURER, BUT THIS REPORT IS IMPLEMENTED TO ADDRESS THE POOR DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE WHICH PLACED THE BATTERY ABOVE THE AIR INTAKE, WITHOUT PROVISIONS FOR CONTAINMENT IN THE EVENT OF SUCH AN ACID LEAK.

I HAVE A 2007 SENTRA 2.0S, WITH BRAND NEW GOODYEAR ASSURANCE TRIPLETRED TIRES, THAT I BOUGHT NEW FROM NISSAN IN BROOKLYN PARK, MN. ITS COLD AND ICY HERE IN THE WINTERS! I STARTED NOTICING A LOT OF SWAYING AND LOUDNESS IN THE REAR ON BUMPY ROADS AND ICE/SNOW. AFTER ROUGHLY 5000 MILES OF DRIVING ON NEW TIRES ALL AROUND, MY REAR TIRES DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY TO 6/32S, BRAND NEW IS 11/32S, AND WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY HAD NO COMMENT. WHEN I SPOKE TO DISCOUNT TIRES ABOUT THE 80K WARRANTY ON THE GOODYEAR TIRES, THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THEM BUT WERE VERY CONFUSED ABOUT HOW THEY GOT BALD SO QUICK AT ONLY 5K MILES. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS IN THE WINTER BUT ITS SUPPOSE TO SAVE ME GAS, BUT IT DOESN'T. MY LITTLE ACURA HAS BETTER GAS MILEAGE. OBVIOUSLY WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAD NO CLUE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND EVEN WHEN I SAID, "I HAVE READ A LOT ON REAR TIRE ALIGNMENT ISSUES WITH MY NISSAN AND I WANT ANSWERS FROM YOU", THEY STILL LOOK AT ME LIKE THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. UNTIL I SHOWED THEM WHAT I PRINTED OFF THE INTERNET, THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE SITUATIONS AROUND THE GLOBE AND IF I WANTED TO FIX MY SENTRA IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

REAR TIRES ARE WORNOUT @ 11,000 MILES. NISSAN REPLACED 2 REAR AXLES AND REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY AND 2 REAR TIRES. THEY CHANGED THE ALIGNMENT SPECS AND SAID IT WAS FINE. CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIDN'T ANSWER CALLS FOR 2 MONTHS. INSPECTOR CHECKED THE REAR TIRES THAT HAD JUST BEEN ROTATED FROM THE FRONT AND SAID THEY DIDN'T SHOW SIGNS OUT BEING OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THEY WOULDN'T CONTACT THEIR FACTORY IN TN / SAFETY ENGINEER WHO HAD REQUESTED THE ORIGINAL REAR TIRES BE SHIPPED TO THEM. A SIMILAR VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND IT TOO HAD ALIGNMENT SPECS THAT WERE OUT AND SIMILAR TO OUR VEHICLE. WE HAVE 24000 MILES AND READY FOR A SECOND SET OF TIRES. STILL OUT OF ALIGNMENT, HAS ALWAYS BEEN OUT OF ALIGNMENT, TECHNICIANS STATE IT'LL NEVER BE IN ALIGNMENT BECAUSE THERE'S AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE GOING ON UP AND DOWN STEEP HILLS IN A CITY ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE STALLS AND THE BREAKS STOP WORKING. THIS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES AND TO MY LUCK AS THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC I GOT ESCAPED WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENTS. BOTH THE TIMES I STOPPED THE VEHICLE BY SHIFTING IT TO THE PARKING MODE. SOME TIMES THE STEERING ALSO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS TO MANUAL MODE AND THE STEERING BECOMES TIGHT. SO THE ISSUES ARE WITH BOTH THE BRAKES AND STEERING AND THIS COULD BE A COMPUTER/COMMUNICATION GLITCH WHICH IS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE BRAKES PROPERLY. WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTS AFTER SOMETIME AGAIN BRAKES WORKS NORMALLY AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE. BUT AFTER SOME DAYS THIS ISSUE REPEATS. RIGHT NOW I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE NEARBY DEALER TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON THE VEHICLE CONDITION. ONCE I GET A CLEAR EXPLANATION OF THE VEHICLE CONDITION I WILL ADD MORE INFORMATION TO THIS COMPLAINT. RIGHT NOW THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS 105000.

IN NOVEMBER I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR 30 MINUTES, NEXT THING I KNOW IS THAT I HAVE NO POWER IN THE ENGINE. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO HIGHER THAN 20 MILES AND THE REVOLUTIONS ON THE MOTOR WERE AS HIGH AS 5,000RPM. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR BECAUSE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE VERY HARD AND UNRESPONSIVE. I COULD NOT MOVE THE CAR, IT FELT LIKE THE CAR HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSH ALL THE WAY WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT IT DID NOT MOVE. HAD TO TOW THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. AFTER 1 WEEK, THE SERVICE GUYS TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS THE OUTPEED SPEED SENSOR. AFTER 3 DAYS OF USING THE REPAIRED CAR, THE CAR DID THE SAME THING ONLY THIS TIME I ALMOST CRASHED WITH ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AGAIN AND THE CAR ALMOST GOT ON FIRE. FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT YOU COULD SEE SMOKE COMING OUT. HAD TO TOW THE CAR AGAIN TO THE NISSAN DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH NO RESULT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM. THE CAR DID THE SAME TO ME 2 MORE TIMES AND THIS TIME THE DEALER DECIDED TO REPLACE THE CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH I HAVE READ THEY HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND BECAUSE OF THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEAR 120K MILES. AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED I USED THE CAR FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH AND THE CAR IN FEBRUARY DID THE SAME AGAIN. NO ENGINE POWER, UNRESPONSIVE BRAKES, HIGH RPM AND SMOKE COMING OUT FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. UNTIL WHEN WILL I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM??? WHEN WILL NISSAN CORRECT OR RECALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS, WHEN A LIFE IS LOST? I TOOK THE CAR MORE THAN 4 TIMES BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I'M GOING BACK AGAIN TO NISSAN, HOW MANY TIMES WILL THIS TIME WILL BE? I HAVE LOST MORE THAN 3 MONTHS WITH THIS ISSUE AND STILL THE CAR IS NOT WORKING. NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A SAFETY RECALL AND DON'T SEEM TO TAKE SERIOUSLY THE PROBLEM. *KB

MY 2007 NISSAN SENTRA WAS PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER 2006. AFTER HAVING TO BRING IN MY CAR ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR MINOR GLITCHES (A REAR-VIEW MIRROR FALLING OFF, ONE OF THE SUN-VISORS FELL OFF), I FINALLY HAD A BIG PROBLEM. IN FEBRUARY 2008, WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT, FLAT ROAD, WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION I PREPARED TO STOP MY VEHICLE FOR A LIGHT. I WAS ABOUT 4 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND THE CAR AHEAD OF ME, AND WAS ONLY TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL SOFTLY, NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN ALL THE WAY, AND STILL NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD A WIDE SHOULDER TO MY RIGHT, SO I TRIED TURNING THE WHEEL AND IT HAD LOCKED UP. AT THIS POINT, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. MY CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAD THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED, AS WELL AS THE HOOD OF THE CAR AND VARIOUS OTHER PARTS NEEDING TO BE FIXED. THE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA FROM THE ACCIDENT WAS DIFFICULT AND THOUGH THERE WERE NO ESTABLISHED INJURIES, I DID EXPERIENCE SLIGHT NECK AND BACK PAIN AFTERWARD. I WAS FOUND TO BE AT FAULT FOR THE ACCIDENT, DESPITE THE BRAKE AND STEERING WHEEL MALFUNCTION, AND SUBSEQUENTLY HAD A LARGE INCREASE IN MY CAR INSURANCE PREMIUM. A NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE WAS FLOWN OUT AT MY REQUEST TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON THE SENTRA BUT SINCE THE STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS OTHER REPLACED/FIXED PARTS, NO INFORMATION WAS FOUND. I AM 100% POSITIVE THAT THE ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED DUE TO A MECHANICAL FAILURE AND WOULD WARN AGAINST PURCHASING A NISSAN SENTRA. IT WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND I'M STUCK WITH THE CAR SINCE NISSAN WOULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE FOR THE TROUBLE. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 5/2007. I CALLED THE DEALER IN GLENSIDE AND WAS TOLD TO "CHECK THE FLUID". MY CONCERN WAS THIS BEING A NEW CAR AND LIGHTS WERE BLINKING ON THE DASHBOARD SUCH AS LOW TIRE GAUGE AND BRAKE SIGNALS. WHEN FLUID WAS ADDED THE LIGHT DID GO OUT. IN 8/2007 I MADE A TRIP TO V.A. AND HAD A HARD TIME STOPPING IN THE JAMMED UP STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AROUND WASHINGTON. AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED HAD I NOT PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AGAIN IN 9/2007 MY LIGHT CAME ON. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT WHEN I WENT FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS RESOLVED. MY CONCERN IS I KNEW THESE OCCURRENCES WERE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR A NEW CAR. I WAS DISREGARDED WITH MY CONCERNS BY THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, SO WHO I AM TO TRUST WITH THE "INSPECTION" SUGGESTED TO ME IN MY OWNER NOTIFICATION? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA. IN MARCH OF 2008, THE VEHICLE MADE A GRINDING SOUND WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT NO FAILURES WERE FOUND. IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT WHEELS WERE UNSTABLE. HE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER A WEEK LATER AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATED THAT THERE WAS AN ALIGNMENT FAILURE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED ON THE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER THE SECOND TIME, HE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP ABRUPTLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THIS WAS A PERSISTENT FAILURE. HE CURRENTLY MUST AVOID CRASHING INTO OTHER VEHICLES AS A RESULT OF THE BRAKE FAILURE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT TO GO TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER TO RECEIVE ANY REPAIRS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

MY SON BOUGHT A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA S ON JULY 27, 2007. THIS VEHICLE HAS BROKE DOWN ON 08/03/07, 08/07/07, 08/10/00 AND AS OF TODAY IT IS STILL AT A NISSAN DEALER. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THAT THREE TIMES THE WHILE DRIVING ALONG FOR NO REASON IT THE CAR SPEED DROPS TO 5 MPH. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AT DEVELOPMENT AND NO OTHER TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO 5 MPH. NO FASTER. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED MY SON HAD TWO CLIENTS IN THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED MY SON AND I WERE RETURNING HOME. WE WERE TRAVELING UP A TWO LANE ROAD WITH MANY VEHICLES GOING BOTH WAYS, AS WE GOT HALF WAY UP THE HILL THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. WE HAD NO PLACE TO PULL OFF AND ALMOST GO HIT FROM BEHIND. THANK GOD THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GET AROUND US. WE HAD TO PUT THE 4 WAYS ON AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO GO 5 MPH TO THE TOP OF THE HILL. STILL WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD I TOLD MY SON TO DRIFT THE CAR DOWN THE HILL INTO OUR HOME TOWN. MY SON DRIVES THIS CAR ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS EVERY DAY TO GO TO WORK IF THIS HAPPENS ON THAT HIGHWAY WHILE EVERYONE IS GOING 65 MPH HE IS NOT GOING TO TIME TO GET OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND COMPLAINED AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM THAT WAS THE SECOND TIME IT BROKE DOWN. I FELL THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO BE ON ANY HIGHWAY. *JB
