VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ABOUT A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR A SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT STARTED TO TURN ON AND OFF, SO I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED AT AUTO ZONE. THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A SENSOR OR SPARK PLUG. THE LIGHT WENT OFF BUT THEN ABOUT A YEAR LATER I WAS DRIVING AND A VDC OFF LIGHT ALONG WITH A TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING, CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK SO MUCH THAT I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I TURN THE CAR BACK ON IT GONE. I STARTED TO SEARCH FOR SIMILAR ISSUES TO SEE IF ANY OTHER NISSAN LIKE MINE WERE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE . I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY RECALLS WHICH THERE ISN'T BUT ONE OF THE RECALLS YOU HAVE LISTED, HAS SIMILAR PROBLEMS TO WHICH IM HAVING. IT'S NOW TO THE POINT WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE FOR SOME REASON IT SHUTS OFF OR IF I BRAKE TO MUCH THE ISSUE WORSENS. PLEASE HELP!

WITH NO EVENT ASSOCIATED, MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHUTTER AND RATTLE WHEN I SLOWED TO A NEAR STOP, THEN ACCELERATED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND ASKED TO HAVE A TECHNICIAN TAKE A RIDE WITH ME TO HEAR THE NOISE AND FEEL THE RATTLE. THE TRANSMISSION RATTLED FOUR TIMES AS WE CIRCLED THE BLOCK. HIS ANSWER WAS "THAT IS NOTHING, SOME TIMES THAT HAPPENS WHEN THE ROAD IS WET." I TOLD HIM THAT IT HAPPENS WET OR DRY AND HE AGAIN DISMISSED IT AS "NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT." WELL IT IS NOT 'NOTHING.' THE SHUTTER/RATTLE OCCURS WHEN I SLOWDOWN INTO A TURN, THEN ACCELERATE. OR IF I AM ON A STRAIGHT-AWAY AND BRAKE, THEN ACCELERATE IT WILL SHUTTER. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS THAT SOUND TOO SIMILAR TO BE A COINCIDENCE. MY WIFE IS AFFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND I AM CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY.

DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECT GAS MILES. IF I JUST FILLED GAS TANK AND IT READS THAT I CAN DRIVE 258 MILES ON THAT AMOUNT OF GAS WHEN IVE ONLY DRIVEN 25 MILES IT WILL TELL ME IVE DRIVEN 100 MILES THEREFORE REGISTERING THAT I ONLY HAVE 123 MIES LEFT IN GAS, CAUSING ME TO FILL TANK MORE THAN I PROBABLY NEED TO AND NOT REALLY KNOWING HOW MY MUCH FURTHER I CAN ACTUALLY DRIVE. IVE TAKEN PHOTOS THAT REFLECT MILES DRIVEN TO GAS USED. ALSO, CAR GAINS SPEEDS WHEN IM PRESSING BREAK TO SLOW DOWN/STOP. ALSO, WHEN I GENTLY PRESS GAS PEDAL CAR SPEEDS UP FASTER THAN THE ACTUAL GAS IM APPLYING. ALSO, WHEN IN MOTION IT MAKES SUDDEN JERKING STOP WHEN IM PRESSING GAS. SINCE DAY ONE TIRES SEEMED OLDER THAN CAR. IM NOT SURE IF THEY WERE CHANGED OUT AT DEALERSHIP FOR ROTTED/USED TIRES.CONSTANT CHECK TIRE LIGHT COMES ON. THE DRIVER SEAT SEEMS LIKE ITS BEEN TAMPERED WITH OR CHANGED OUT. WHEN YOU SIT IN THE CAR ITS CROOKED, LEANS TO THE RIGHT. WITHIN WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT ISSUES CAR HAS, THEY CLAIM ALL IS FINE WITH THE CAR AND DONT SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING. WRONG. ALSO YOUR SITE SAYS AIRBAG RECALL ON THE 2017 SENTRA, DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT DOESNT PERTAIN TO MY CAR. I FEEL ITS DEFECTIVE ALL AROUND AND IM NERVOUS DRIVING IT.

THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND THEN MAKING A LOUD HISSING NOISE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO AAA AND THEY CONFIRMED IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP PAY FOR THE $3,000 REPAIR AFTER READING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS. AFTER 12 DAYS THEY DECLINED BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY DID NOT RECALL THE TRANSMISSION. ALL THINGS THEY KNEW PRIOR TO HAVING ME GET A DIAGNOSTIC FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE NISSAN IS KNOWINGLY DEFRAUDING CONSUMERS AND COSTING THEM ADDITIONAL MONEY WHEN THEY KNOW THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ASSIST IN PAYING THE REPAIR COST. ALSO, THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION, YET THEY REFUSE TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN AND STOP THIS.

WE RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA REGARDING OCS (NON-OPERATION) OF PASSENGER AIR BAG. CONTACTED DEALER TO DISCUSS PROBLEM. WAS GIVEN THE SAME( NO ACTION ) ANSWER THAT WE GOT ON PREVIOUS VISITS. THIS SITUATION IS TOTALLY UNEXCEPTABLE. THAT AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE PASSENGER FROM CRASHING INTO THE DASH OR WINDSHIELD. I BELIEVE THE SOLUTION IS OUT THERE. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGER.
