I took this vehicle to the dealership, and the dealership said that the transmission needs to be replaced. I sold this car to Surburban Chevrolet of Ann Arbor, but they appear to be selling the car without fixing the transmission. It is not safe to drive this car because the vehicle is jerky and may not change the gear properly in the highway.

Vehicle began making a whining noise when starting with car in park, accelerating or decelerating. Didn’t seem to drive like normal. I Immediately took car to my usual mechanic and was notified it was the CVT transmission and it would need to be replaced. I was made aware of the recall by my mechanic. I contacted Nissan and was told they would not cover it. I’ve kept regular maintenance on my car and it only has 131,000 miles. .

The transmission failed. The car just stopped moving forward while My son was driving in traffic. It was 12:00 in the afternoon on a Friday so local traffic was a bit heavy. Traffic had to go onto the other side of the road creating a hazard. Luckily the car behind was following at a safe distance and was able to stop. There was no previous warnings that this was going to happen. The car had to be towed to a repair shop. The repair shop called NIssan but they said they could not offer any assistance with repairing the transmission even though this is a known problem to them.

On [XXX] I was driving my 2015 Nissan Sentra S (manual transmission) in Los Angeles, CA. While traveling at a moderate speed on a city street, another vehicle crossed into my lane, resulting in a direct, head-on collision. The impact caused severe damage to the entire front end of my vehicle: the hood crumpled, the front bumper and grille detached, and internal components such as the radiator support and crash bar were visibly deformed. The damage was so extensive that vehicle two’s (at-fault driver’s) insurance company declared the car a total loss. Despite the severity of the frontal impact, none of the airbags deployed. This was unexpected, as the collision was strong enough to stop both vehicles instantly—pushing my vehicle backwards until both vehicles came to a halt, resulting in significant structural deformation. There were no warning lamps, error messages, or previous issues with the airbag system prior to the accident. Photographs and video footage of the incident are available. As a direct result of the airbag non-deployment, my head and jaw made contact with the steering wheel, causing chest, jaw, neck, back, and shoulder pain, as well as severe headaches. After the accident, the vehicle was inspected by vehicle two’s insurance company and reviewed by Nissan’s Incident Investigation Specialist, Dakota McGregor. Nissan denied my claim for non-deployment of airbags verbally via landline. Nissan’s specialist, Dakota McGregor, refused to provide written documentation, technical justification, or a written denial of my claim, despite my requests. Furthermore, the specialist did not provide or disclose the threshold for airbag deployment in this vehicle, and no crash data or event data was collected or reviewed from the vehicle’s onboard computer. As a result, I am unable to determine the exact cause of the airbag system’s failure to deploy. I am filing this complaint because I believe this incident represents a potential safety defect with the air INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact called on behalf of her son who owned a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that her son was driving at an unknown MPH, when he crashed into a concrete structure. There were no warning lights illuminated. The air bags did not deploy. Her son had a concussion but later started driving to his residence; then was assisted by a police officer. The contact was not sure if a police report was filed. The police notified the contact regarding the accident. Her son was sent to the hospital with bruised lungs, and other minor injuries. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to the salvage lot. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

The airbag sensor fails to register the weight of a grown adult in the passenger seat. I have brought my car into a Nissan dealership to get this issue checked out, but I was told that there is no issue. I first noticed this issue approximately 5 years ago and has occasionally occured since. If the airbag sensor does not light up when there is a passenger (who is over 100 lbs and over 13 y/o) and does not deploy the airbag in the event of an accident, the passenger of my car could be seriously injured or killed.

Was in a car accident and totaled the car, however the air bags never deployed.

It is sporadic, when I accelerated there is hesitation in the transmission. I almost didn't make my left hand turn fast enough to not get T Boned it has been happening since I got the car in 2016. The dealer is aware of the issue and they said they adjusted something but it keeps coming back.
Apr 12, 2024
My car's transmission gave out in November 2023. It was returned the day before Thanksgiving. For the second time on January 11, 2024, the transmission blew. It was towed to the dealership where they notified me that the car would need another transmission. The car received another transmission and the car was returned to me on February 13, 2024. On February 14, 2024, after only driving 65 miles the car stalled after exiting the highway during rush hour. The car would not accelerate properly and was jerking. The car wouldn't accelerate past 15 mph. I was able to get the car to a safe location where I parked and called to get the car towed back to the dealership. On February 15, 2024, the dealership notified me that the transmission blew again. There were no warning signs or lights when the car stalled. It was driving fine until I exited the highway and was sitting at a red light. When I tried to accelerate at the change of the light the car jerked and would not pick up speed past 15 mph. Having my system fail unexpectedly in the middle of traffic put me and my passengers in danger.

I’m getting the code P0101 which is saying I have a bad MAF sensor. I have replaced this sensor and im still having problems. Getting worse than average gas mileage, engine RPM’s going crazy while accelerating. Not idling properly, hesitant and jerky movements. I’m getting tired of searching every little thing and I know lots of people with this same problem. Sounds like a manufacturers mistake.

Between 75-85 miles an hour, the car gets sluggish, acting like it cannot "stay in gear" and the rpms shoot around wildly. It gets worse when it is hotter outside. It feels like it loses power and then shoots up in power erratically, typically in that speed range. My car has only 54620 miles on it

The was engine stalling, shuddering, jerking, and after a while I had loss of power, all of this happened when I was driving 65 mph on the highway.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle started shaking and failed to accelerate as needed. The check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle decelerated to approximately 30 - 40 MPH. The vehicle was repaired however, while driving at speeds of 50 MPH or more, the vehicle would start to shake and hesitate while accelerating. The contact stated that over time the vehicle started failing to accelerate to speeds exceeding 50 MPH. On another occasion while driving up to a red light at approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle started jerking while idling at the traffic light. The vehicle then failed to accelerate above 20 MPH and was shaking and losing motive power while driving. The contact pulled to the side of the road to have the vehicle towed. While parked and waiting to be towed, the "Check Engine" warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission had failed. The transmission was replaced after the first failure however, the transmission was not repaired or replaced with the failure persisting. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.

My transmission has went out 3 or 4 times now. Nissan has replaced it and the same issue keeps occurring. I was driving in the middle of the intersection and my car just stopped. I had to have people help me push my car out of the way. Nobody would stop and almost hit me and the people helping. There were no warning lights that came on. My car jerked then my car would not increase speed. It would just rev really high then not move
Sep 01, 2023
My Vehicles stalled on me on multiple occasions one in particular I was with my family including my two year old daughter. when the car began to violently jerk on the NJ turnpike, total ambarassment ensued and ultimately I had to drive that way for about an hour or so. I had a Mechanic from Nissan come to my home and the diagnosis was the tranny was done. Rip to my baby at 115k miles so sad.

Over the last year my 2015 Nissan Sentra has been having problems of judder (shake and shudder), hesitation on acceleration, lack of power and RPM flare. It happens when I am driving highway speed and when going uphill on the highway as well. I went to Firestone to get a diagnostic check and came out with the code of p17f4. I was surprised given that no check engine light has turned on. I will be going to the Nissan dealership and asking them what steps can happen. This is the second Nissan vehicle (the second vehicle is a Nissan Rogue) that has had a transmission problem.
Jan 12, 2024
When I am pulling out into traffic or any stop and go, I press the gas pedal and sporadically there is a hesitation with the car acceleration. At times I am crossing a lane and traffic is coming and my car hesitated. Very scary thinking I may get t boned.

WHILE IN MOTION, VEHICLE FAILS TO CONTINUE ACCELERATING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS.
Feb 10, 2019
WHILE DRIVING IT RATTLES, PICKS UP SPEED VERY SLOWLY, WHEN STEPPING ON GAS IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO SPEED UP WHICH IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE OTHER TRAFFIC CAN HIT ME FROM BEHIND. MAKES WEIRD NOISE EVERY TIME I STEP ON GAS AND IS GOING 30 MPH. HAVING DIFFICULTY WHEN TRYING TO REVERSE. I WAS AT A STOP AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD OR REVERSE I HAD TO ASK FOR HELP TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE STREET. WAS TOLD THAT IT'S THE TRANSMISSION. IT'S ONLY BEEN 6 MONTHS I BOUGHT THE CAR AND IT HAS 70,000 MILES.

Car has 72000 miles in it it has given no indication on dash except cruise control went out. The transmission is slipping and both the front passenger and drivers door handles are messed up up.
Aug 28, 2025
The car had problems with failing to start and failing to accelerate while driving. Check engine light came on and OBD scanner indicated it was the CVT. The car was inspected and repaired in March 2023. In 2025 (the same problem of check engine indicating the CVT) is occurring. CVT sensor was replaced; however, two weeks later the check engine light is back on indicating CVT issues and is now also overheating.
Mar 03, 2025
This particular vehicle exhibits a very strong, almost dash rattling judder when moving from the 1st to 2nd gearing ratio. This is especially dangerous in traffic and intersections where the vehicle is known to be in 1st or 2nd gear ratio, as Nissan likes to ratio out their CVT in software through the TCM to produce what feels like shifting from gear-to-gear as in a normal automatic transaxle. What makes this situation extremely bad is that when entering an on-ramp to the interstate (I-20 for example) it will intermittently judder from 1st to 2nd and then no power. After the judder it takes another few seconds for the TCM to figure out what happened and engage maybe more valve body pressure? I'm not sure completely, but it's extremely unsafe to drive. The Altima/Rogue with the same transaxle and model year run was issued a TSB and subsequently a TCM update was issued to rectify the early shudder, but the Sentra did not receive that update. The TCM output data shows that when this shudder is happening that there is a loss in hydraulic pressure somewhere in the unit. As Nissan says you never are supposed to change the fluid, this creates a very serious issue not only with the transmission, but warranty as well. The safety risk to others is high on this one because this could cause major rear-end conditions and city driving collisions as the car is supposed to be accelerating but can't because the transaxle was slipping and not gaining speed with the rest of the vehicles as expected.

Bought 2015 Nissan Sentra SR from Nissan West in Dickson, TN. The car didn't even a lot of miles on it. Not even a month after having the car, the transmission went out. Car started acting up on the interstate. Would not shift gears, wouldn't go over a certain amount of speed, almost caused us to be hit multiple times. Finally got it to Nissan West dealership where they did confirm transmission was no good. Nissan West, reworked the transmission instead of giving us a new transmission. Now, over a year and 3 months later, the transmission went out again. Has been confirmed by Nissan West in Dickson, TN. The transmission had only a little over 10,000 miles on it. This time I was pulling out onto a busy street when the car out of the blue would not go forwards or backwards. Luckily we did not get hit and we had to push the car out of the middle of the road.
Aug 03, 2024
Me and my daughter was pulling out onto a bypass highway and the car wouldn't go anywhere and we were stuck in the middle of the highway with cars coming towards us. So I had to jump out and while it was still in drive I had to push it out of the highway so we wouldn't get hit by the on coming traffic. I finally pushed it fast enough and jumped back into the car and pressed the gas pedal and it caught so I could drive it home and I parked it.

Transmission is really bad after even nissan replaced it doesn’t shift correct, the car jumps, the brakes really doesn’t do well even after they change it. The motor sound is really high. The car doesn’t speed up on the highway to go in front of the right lane, so it puts me in dangerous several times. All documents of complain since 2019 at Nissan Petaluma ,CA and now the car at Nissan auto nation Las Vegas for the second time after they change the transition . Thanks

On Saturday, 25 SEP 2021, my wife and I departed San Clemente, CA, at 3:30 AM enroute to Idaho Falls, ID. We were driving my son and daughter-in-law’s 2015 Nissan Sentra with approximately 62,000 miles on the odometer. The car contained my wife and me along with 2 suitcases. At approximately 5:00 AM we approached the Cajun Pass, heading north on I15 North, going 70mph with the cruise control engaged. The crest of Cajun pass is approximately 3800 ft and the base of the pass is approximately 1100 ft, thus a rise of 2700 feet in a relatively short distance. As the 2015 Nissan Sentra began to ascend the Cajun Pass, the engine RPMs raised to 3700 RPM, but then the cruise control disengaged and the car lost power. I merged to the right into the Truck Lane and could only go 30-35 mph. Additionally, the engine RPMs would oscillate between 3700-3900, even though my foot maintained a steady pressure on the gas pedal. After we reached the top of Cajun Pass, I15 North actually descends and the2015 Nissan Sentra could then again be driven at 70-75 mph. For the remainder of trip on I15 North from Cajun Pass to Idaho Falls, there are approximately 10 steep grades where Trucking Lanes are provided. In each and every of those cases, the 2015 Nissan Sentra exhibited the exact symptoms it exhibited on Cajun Pass – the car lost power, could only be driven at 30-35 mph, and the engine RPMs oscillated between 3700-3900 RPM, even though the speed was constant and the gas pedal was depressed with the same pressure. There are literally dozens of additional hills between Cajun Pass and Idaho Falls on I15 North where the grade was not steep enough to warrant a Truck Lane, but there is still a considerable hill. In each and every one of those hills, the 2015 Nissan Sentra was only able to achieve a speed of 50-55 mph, even though the posted speed limit is generally 75 or 80mph. The car was unsafe to drive because most cars on I15 North are going 80-85 mph, which is 30-35 mph faster

CAR ENGINE IS NOT ACCELERATING AND TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN A CERTAIN GEAR. TOOK IT INTO NISSAN LAST YEAR AND THEY REPLACED THE VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION. NOW IT APPEARS IT'S HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AGAIN. VERY SCARY AS I ALMOST GOT INTO A FEW ACCIDENTS. ALSO THE ENGINE IS HAVING THE SAME LOW IDLE ISSUES BUT NOTHING IS AS BAD AS THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. VERY VERY VERY SCARY

I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY MY VEHICLE LOSES POWER RANDOMLY AND WHY THE CAR RANDOMLY SHIFTS GEARS AND REDUCES SPEED EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS. YET WHILE IT DOES THIS THE RPM NEEDLE SURGES BETWEEN 3000 TO 4500. VEHICLE HAS NO CODES AND DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS LOST POWER ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND YET IM JUST SUPPOSE TO BELIEVE THE CAR IS SAFE.I EVEN PUT IN A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY CODES.

The transmission started with acceleration speed issues, after about a week, it started stuttering and failing to accelerate at all. Today the car would not accelerate through a traffic light which could have caused an accident. A mechanic has confirmed that the transmission is the issue. Initially there were no check engine lights or anything that showed up but now the check engine light is on.

1. Engine malfunction/Transmission: Yes, the car is available for inspection upon request. 2. While driving the car on the road the car begins to hesitate and wanted to stall in moving traffic. Had to pull over vehicle over until it was safe to try and preceded. This problem has continued and now feeling no longer safe to drive on the road. We have a small child, and our car is our main mode of transportation and right now we are without transportation because of this faulty situation with the transmission and we definitely want to make sure that we have a safe vehicle for our family and not to cause an incident with other drivers due to the car stalling. Currently the car sits in the driveway. 2015 Nissan Sentra 89,575 3. Yes, the problem has been reproduced by a Nissan Dealer here in our area. 4. Vehicle was towed to a Nissan Dealership 5. Vehicle has been inspected by mechanic at Nissan. 6. No warning lights came on and prior to this we had not experienced any symptoms from the engine. First noticed maybe around last week of July

I recently encountered a distressing situation with my Nissan Sentra, where the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) unexpectedly failed, resulting in the need for my car to be towed. This unforeseen incident left me stranded and unable to operate my vehicle. The failure of the CVT transmission not only caused inconvenience but also posed safety concerns as the car became inoperable. Prompt action and attention to this matter are crucial to resolve the issue effectively and ensure the safe and reliable functioning of my Nissan Sentra.

My Nissan Sentra is constantly “jerking” and “stalling” when accelerating. It’s not coming to speed and completely stopping in traffic. The vehicle seems like it’s struggle to switch gears and giving problems with the transmission. This is a very dangerous issue that needs to be resolved.

The transmission quit working in rush our traffic in St. Louis, Missouri. The incident nearly caused a severe accident, if it hadn't been for two alert drivers during rush hour. After sitting for approximate sixty minutes waiting for a tow truck. Just before the the tow truck arrive another tow driver was going to pick up another vehicle "he stop to help." The tow driver was going to tow the vehicle. He was testing to see what the problem. As he started the vehicle he put it in drive and nothing happen. After a few minutes it jump in gear. The vehicle was driven home with loosing power, surging, and RPM going up without acceleration. This happen in late November. The car continued to jerk, stall, and loose power over long trips. The car was taken to the dealership but they could do nothing until they put a device on it to read codes. This was completed December 20, 2021, I was notified to drive the vehicle for several days up to a week and bring it back to them. The vehicle was picked up and drove per dealership instruction. The car was returned after Christmas. The tech perform a TCM update. They tested and drove the vehicle with myself in the car. The manager concluded the car had transmission problems that pointed to the transmission but it would not reveal a code. Until they get a code or approval from Nissan there was nothing they could. On about January 28, 2022, I was instructed to pick up the car. Also, I was instructed the car was unsafe to drive. It was bitter cold (12 degree) fifteen minutes into the drive home the service manger call (note after hours). The vehicle stalled/loss power and a multiple of problems. Approximately twenty miles away the vehicle caused an accident in which I suffer frostbite and damaged to my left hip. With the assistant of the State Trooper I was safe until the tow truck from D and K arrived. The vehicle was towed back to the dealership and remain until present date, [XXX].

I'm driving my car on the freeway and it's stalls. I barely made it to the shoulder. I waited a few minutes and drove again. Went a few miles, and again, it stalled. I made it to a safe place. Had my car towed to a mechanic. They said it was the CVT transmission.

MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY 2015 NISSAN SENTRA WITH A CRACKED, LEAKING SENDING UNIT AT CONNECTOR, PLASTIC MOLD. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE 2015 SENTRA, BUT THERE IS FOR THE 2015 ALTIMA AND 2015 MAXIMA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM--A LEAK FROM THE SENDING UNIT. I FILED A CASE WITH NISSAN CORPORATION ON EITHER JULY 29 OR JULY 30, 2019 BUT AS OF TODAY, AUGUST 20TH, I CANNOT GET THEM TO CALL ME A WORK SO I MAY DISCUSS THE PROBLEM. THE LATEST RUNAROUND WAS A VOICEMAIL LEFT ON MY HOME PHONE TO CALL THEIR ARBITRATION AT 615-725-7670 BUT IT GOES TO A RING/NO/ANSWER. SO I CALL THE MAIN 800-647-7261 ON AN ENDLESS LOOP, NEVER BEING GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS MY CASE WITH ANYONE. THE MAIN CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ANSWERED BY RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL PEOPLE.

Transmission malfunction. The car will reduced speed putting me on risk of getting hit in the back and someone colliding with me due the reduction of speed and the slowness of the car to start to gain speed. There was some jerking as gas pedal was pressed down and will slow down and then gain speed before it completely slow down to the point it will not go beyond 40 miles per hour. The car was inspected by the Nissan dealership where the car was bought and transmission is failing internally according to their findings. The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership. There were no warning/message prior to this problem.

After getting my transmission serviced, my car started jerking often and lagging on speed from 0-35. Once hitting 40 mph, it would create a loud rev up and a rough kick back. It has stalled out and started up numerous times while sitting in freeway traffic and traffic light controlled intersections to the point that I had to move it and park somewhere safe for 10 mins for it to restart then stall out again a few mins later down the road.

One such instance forced the vehicle into 'limp mode' in a high speed area of a busy freeway and nearly caused numerous vehicles to collide into the stalled Sentra at rates of speed over 70 MPH. Furthermore, the 2015 Sentra has an issue shifting from park, and will not move out of park, even with the brake applied, unless the gear release button is applied. Vehicle was requested to be examined by Lorenzo Nissan in November 2023, but the dealership refused to inspect any possible safety or equipment issues without the promise of purchasing a new Nissan from their dealership.

Car started with a light vibration and after driving for a few feet would no longer accelerate when pressing the gas. For the first few days it would violently jolt like if someone hit me before gaining speed, but when i hit the brake it lags to accelerate. Now the fastest it goes it 20mph. If I press the gas pedal the engine makes a loud noise but does not speed. The dealer provided a code P2895 and suggested changing the whole transmission. The car has kept up with all maintenance checks and fluid changes and is in good condition it just reached 100,000 no accidents. The stalling happened while I was in traffic on the freeway and jolting of the car made it feel unsafe luckily I was able to use the shoulder to exit and call a tow truck. No accident but does not feel safe to continue to drive Cruise control never worked since I bought it. Bought the car new and got it fixed while it was still under warranty but stopped working again. Didn’t bother to cont. getting it fixed since I don’t use it

We bought this vehicle brand new in 2016, and it seem to be a nice vehicle until it hit 30,000 miles. When we hit 30,000 miles in April 2020, the brake system failed, causing a passenger side collision, however, there were no injuries. Then in November 2020, the transmission went out. At that time we had to have the front brakes replaced as well. Then in May 2021 at 40,000 miles, we had to replace the front brakes again. In September 2021 at 50,000 miles, the front and rear brakes started grinding and needed replaced, which ended up having the ABS system, ABS module, brake lines, brake rotors, brake calipers, brake drums, and pads replaced. In February 2022 at 58,000 miles, while driving home, there was a loud bang from the front of the vehicle, the vehicle shuddered violently, had very little acceleration, and there was a large amount of white smoke coming from the back of the vehicle. Had the vehicle towed into the service shop, where they stated the engine block had thrown a rod through the engine. Had the engine replaced. Four days after the vehicle was returned, the front suspension collapsed on the tires. Had the front suspension replaced at 58,000 miles. August 2022, the transmission failed once again at 69,000 miles, and also had to replace the front brakes again. At 76,000 miles, in March 2023, had to once again replace front brake pads, rotors, and passenger caliper. No rear drums and pads need replaced. Vehicle ABS system is nonresponsive, ABS light is on once again, when, pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle does not stop just like when ABS system and module was replaced prior. Emergency brake does not work as well. I have contacted Nissan several times, to which I was told they would no longer service my vehicle. Now I am wondering what to do at this point.

THIS IS AN ONGOING KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE OF AUTHORITY HAS TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE HAZARDOUS ISSUES. IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE. I HAVE MANY VIDEOS DESCRIBING MY ISSUES ALONG WITH CONVERSATIONS WITH A NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE FROM HEADQUARTERS AND EMPLOYEES FROM THE DEALERSHIPS. I HAVE ALWAYS EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR (EVEN WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE MONTHS OF PURCHASING IT). IT IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO ATTACH DOCUMENTS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE THEY CAN BE SENT!

VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO GO OVER 40 MPH ON HILLS, WITH AC ON, OR FOR EXTENDED DRIVES. I'VE LIKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET MULTIPLE TIMES AND OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THINGS. I'VE HAD NISSAN LOOK AT IT MULTIPLE TIMES AS WELL AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG.

ELECTRICAL & BLUETOOTH PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR: THE SYSTEM SHUTS ITSELF DOWN & REBOOTS WITHOUT PROMPT. THE NISSAN LOGO REAPPEARS ON SCREEN IN THE SAME MANNER THAT IT DOES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST INITIATED VIA KEYLESS START IGNITION. THREE WEEKS AGO, I WAS DRIVING & THE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS IN TRANSIT ON THE FREEWAY (BW PARKWAY) - HEADED TO BALTIMORE CITY FROM BOWIE CITY IN MARYLAND AND REBOOTED ITSELF. THE FEAR IS THAT THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN ONE DAY, NOT JUST ELECTRONICALLY, BUT ALSO THE ENGINE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. THE SECOND OR THIRD DAY, AFTER I BROUGHT THE CAR HOME, I TURNED THE CAR ON TO TAKE IT OUT FOR A RIDE, AND IT SHUT OFF ON ME COMPLETELY. EACH TIME THE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN, THE MILEAGE ODOMETER DIALS BACK A COUPLE OF HUNDRED NUMBERS OR SOMETIMES A FEW NUMBERS. THERE'S NO WAY TO TELL HOW MANY MILES ARE TRULY ON THE VEHICLE. I ALSO DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE IF THE VEHICLE WAS TRULY INSPECTED BY EMISSIONS OR THAT THEY CHANGED MY FUEL. I ALSO DO NOT KNOW THE TRUE CONDITION OF THIS VEHICLE. I SAW SOME RUST UNDER THE HOOD ON A FEW OF THE SCREWS. I ALSO SAW CORROSION UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SIDE OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS STAYING IN MY LANE ON THE ROAD. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE ROAD, THE CAR SWERVES IF THERE ARE HIGH WINDS (SUSPENSION ON FRONT & REAR END ALIGNMENT APPEAR TO BE GONE). ON FRIDAY MARCH 15TH IN THE 5 O'CLOCK PM HOUR, I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY. I OPENED THE SUNROOF & A GUSTY WIND CAME DOWN, KNOCKING THE CAR OUT OF ITS LANE. I REGAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR. I SHUT THE SUNROOF. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I DRIVE. THE NEXT PROBLEM IS WITH THE BLUETOOTH. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL A RELATIVE USING THE HANDS FREE VERBAL COMMAND & IT WENT HAYWIRE & BEGAN CALLING RANDOM PEOPLE IN MY PHONE. AFTER THAT, THE CAR REBOOTED ITSELF AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM IS NEW. RESEARCH CONFIRMS THAT THE DEALER HAS A HISTORY.

THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS BACK 1 SINGLE TIME. I PUT CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A SPACE. CAR REVERSED FINE. THEN I TRIED TO PUT IT INTO DRIVE BUT IT WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE, ONLY UP TO NEUTRAL. I TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND THE WAITING A MIN OR 2 AND TURNED IT BACK ON TO SEE IF IT WOULD GO TO DRIVE. IT WOULD NOT. IT WOULD ONLY MOVE IN REVERSE. I KEPT TRYING UNTIL ON ONE OF THOSE TRIES IT FINALLY WENT INTO DRIVE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET GOING AGAIN. THEN RECENTLY, I THINK, 8/2/17, WED, I WAS AT BANK PARKED. I PUT CAR ON REVERSE TO LEAVE BEC I HAD A FEW MORE ERRANDS TO DO,CAR WENT BACK FINE. THEN I TRIED TO PUT INTO DRIVE; IT WOULD NOT GO TO DRIVE. SAME THING HAPPENED. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE. IT STOPPED IN NEUTRAL AND THERE WERE MANY CARS TRYING TO GET PAST ME, AS I WAS BLOCKING THOSE COMING SOUTH AND THOSE GOING NORTH OF ME. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! SO I PUT IT BACK INTO REVERSE AND WENT BACK AS MUCH AS I SAFELY COULD IN ORDER TO CLEAR A WIDER SPACE TO SEE IF CARS COULD SQUEEZE PAST ME. THE WAITING CARS SQUEEZED THROUGH VERY UNSAFELY FOR THEM AND FOR ME. THEN I JUST KEPT TRYING BY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON A FEW MINS LATER. I KEPT TRYING TO PUT INTO DRIVE. IT WOULD GO TO NEUTRAL BUT NOT INTO DRIVE. UNTIL ONE TIME, WHEN IT DID AND I WAS ABLE TO GO TO MY NEXT STOP WHICH WAS WALGREENS.EXACT THING REOCCURRED; I REPEATED TRIES; FINALLY WENT INTO DRIVE. I PROCEEDED TO GO TO PUBLIX. SAME SENARIO HAPPENED. IT TOOK MANY TRIES.FINALLY WENT INTO DRIVE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. I GOT HOME. HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I REVERSED FROM BEING PARKED AT MY BLDG BLOCKING EVERYONE. A UPS TRUCK DRIVER ALSO BLOCKED. I ASKED FOR HIS HELP.HE MADE ATTEMPTS TO PUT INTO DR. FINALLY GOT IT. MOVED MY CAR OUT OF HARM'S WAY. NISSAN PAPER WORK IS DATED 8/4/17. IT MAY REPEAT IN A DANGEROUS PLACE. WAS CITY IN MOTION FROM PARKED.

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.

IF MY CAR DOSE NOT DETECT ANY ONE HOWS LESS THAN 100 POUNDS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT MEANS MY CAR IS NOT SAFE AT ALL.

I HAD MY OIL CHANGED @ NISSAN OF GRAPEVINE & THEY TOOK MY CAR THROUGH THE CAR WASH WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. DRENCHING & DAMAGING THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, SEATS, FLOOR BOARD, ELECTRONICS ALL GOT WET & NO ONE EVER INFORMED ME, THEY TRIED TO COVER IT UP BY DRYING AS MUCH OF THE INSIDE. IT WAS ONLY WHEN WE SAT IN THE CAR & PUT MY PURSE ON THE FLOOR BOARD THAT WE REALIZED IT. WATER WAS SEEPING OUT OF THE DOOR HANDLES INSIDE THE CUP HOLDERS & ARM REST, DASHBOARD, ETC. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPT. I SPOKE WITH ASST MGR BRETT, I ALSO TOOK THE CAR RIGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP & THERE SHOWED THE SERVICE MGR MARK TOPHAM HOW WATER WAS POURING OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE SEATS, AND THROUGHOUT THE CAR. THE SCREEN ON THE RADIO WAS VERY DIM & THE SEATBELT LIGHT KEPT FLICKERING ON & OFF, THE AIRBAG ISSUE. MARK STUCK HE APOLOGIZED & SAID THEY WILL MAKE THIS RIGHT. I ALSO SPOKE WITH SAM STREET, SALES MGR, WHO AGREED, THAT THEY DID SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MY CAR & SAID HE WOULD BE SPEAKING TO OWNER MR. JOHNNY CANTRELL ABOUT A NEW VEHICLE REPLACEMENT & HAVE JOHNNY CONTACT ME DIRECTLY. I LEFT THE CAR THERE & TOOK AA RENTAL CAR. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MGR MARK TOPHAM, NEXT DAY ADVISING ME, THAT ALL THEY ARE GOING TO DO IS REPLACE THE SEAT BELT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE SEATBELT LIGHT TO QUIT FLASHING & REPLACE THE INSIDE BOTTOM CUSHION OF ONE OF THE FRONT SEAT. I ADVISED MARK, THAT THEY DESTROYED MY NEW CAR BY WATER DAMAGE & THEY OWE ME A NEW VEHICLE REPLACEMENT, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY TRIED TO HIDE THE FACT & NEVER DISCLOSED IT OR CHANGED THE OIL TO BEGIN WITH. HE SAID HE WOULD LET THE OWNER JOHNNY CANTRELL KNOW & HAVE HIM CALL ME. I NEVER RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE OWNER JOHNNY CANTRELL, NOR IS THE COMPANY WILLING TO MAKE RIGHT WHAT THEY DID WRONG.

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.

I BOUGHT A NISSAN SENTRA 2015 ON JANUARY 23RD, 2015, WHEN I TOOK THE CAR FOR THE BLESSING I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW THAT THE MOTOR DIDN'T HAVE THE ARM THAT GIVES SUPPORT FOR THE ENGINE AND IT'S ASSEMBLED TO THE BODY OF THE CAR. I CHECKED THE MANUAL OF MY CAR ACCORDING TO MY TYPE OF MOTOR MRA8DE AND IN THE DOCUMENT THE VISUAL AID SHOWS THIS ARM ASSEMBLED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AGENCY AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, THE PERSON IN CHARGE SAW MY CAR AND DOUBTFUL TOOK ME TO SEE THE EXHIBIT CAR. WE OPENED THE HOOK OF THE EXHIBIT CAR AS WELL AND CONFIRMED THAT THE SUPPORT ARM WAS PRESENT IN THE CAR, HE WENT TO EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO THE OFFICE AND RETURNED WITH AN ALLEGED DOCUMENT FROM THE NISSAN CORPORATIVE WHERE IT WAS SAID THAT SENTRA 2015 MODELS DIDN'T INCLUDE THIS ARM AND IT WAS AN ENGINEERING CHANGE FROM THE 2014 MODELS. I ASKED HIM WHAT ABOUT THE CAR MANUAL THEN THAT WAS GIVEN WITH THE CAR AND THE PERSON SAID THAT THE MANUAL ARE NOT UPDATED EVEN DUE TO THE ENGINEERING CHANGE OF THE 2015 MODELS. I ASKED FOR A COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT BUT IT WAS NOT GIVEN BECAUSE SUPPOSEDLY IT NEEDED AND UPDATE WHAT MAKES ME DOUBT OF IT. I'M REPORTING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE FOR ME THIS IS A SECURITY PART IN THE CAR TO SUPPORT THE ENGINE AND I'M ASKING FOR INVESTIGATION ASSISTANCE IF THIS ENGINEERING CHANGE IS RIGHTFUL AND BECAUSE MAYBE THE DRIVERS MIGHT BE IN DANGER WHILE DRIVING OR EVEN IN A CAR CRASH INCIDENT IF THIS INFORMATION GIVEN WAS FALSE JUST TO AVOID A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT IN THE AGENCY. *TR
