SUSPENSION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, AND THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT THOUGHT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR POSITIONS SINCE SHE WAS SHORT. UPON ADJUSTING THE MIRRORS, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
AIR BAG STARTED FLASHING AND HAS NOT STOPPED. I NOTICED THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE AIRBAGS IN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND I AM WAITING TO SEE THAT THIS IS INVESTIGATED AND HELP WITH A RECALL DUE TO THE COST OF ATTEMPTING TO FIX THIS WHEN IT COULD WELL BE A FACTORY DEFECT. I ALSO HAD TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WHEN WHILE ON THE FREEWAY STARTED HAVING ISSUES ENDING IN THE NISSAN DEALER IN UTAH SHORT OF $3500 LATER AFTER THEY DETERMINED IT HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A MALFUNCTION DUE TO A COOLING SYSTEM PROBLEM, WHICH NEEDED A COOLING DEVICE OF SOME SORT IN ORDER TO PREVENT IT FROM OVERHEATING, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR.

ENGINE TO STALL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND IT WAS NOT BE POSSIBLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE SOON AFTER IT STOPPED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, THE ECM MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THESE SYMPTOMS ARE SIMILAR TO RECALL#10V555000 AND #11V579000.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR HAS BEEN MAKING TAPPING/KNOCKING/SQUEALING NOISE SINCE ABOUT 20,000 MILES. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, AS WELL AS NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. (AUDIO WAS TAKEN OF NOISE). CAR WAS TAKEN TO SHOP. MECHANICS COULD NOT "REPLICATE SOUND" THAT MY CAR WAS MAKING, EVEN THOUGH I HAD SHOWN MECHANICS PROOF, AND THEY HEARD CAR MAKING NOISE AT IDLE AND WHEN CAR WAS REVVED UP. MECHANIC WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE CAR HOME FOR A PERIOD OF 7 DAYS. HE COULD NOT "REPLICATE SOUND" THAT MY CAR WAS MAKING. MY CAR HAD BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP (FOR THE SAME ISSUE) AT LEAST 6 TIMES BETWEEN 2016-2017. AND THE ISSUE STILL REMAINED. NOW (40,000+ MILES SINCE NOISE FIRST STARTED), I HAVE NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN HORSEPOWER, COUPLED WITH THE SQUEALING/TAPPING/KNOCKING NOISE, THAT IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING LOUDER. I ONCE AGAIN HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, WHO INSTRUCTED ME TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT NISSAN REPAIR FACILITY AND FRONT THE $99.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. I AM NOW WITHOUT A VEHICLE, AND I STILL AM IN THE DARK AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR. THE SOUND THAT MY CAR MAKES OCCURS WHEN MY CAR IS MOVING, IDLING, IN GEAR, OR IN PARK. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS OF THIS ONGOING ISSUE, AND FEEL THAT THEY JUST DO NOT WANT TO LOOK INTO THIS, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MILES AN HOUR THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE AND CALL FOR AAA. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED TO THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY ASKED IF THE CAR STILL TURNED ON AND IF SO, DID IT GO INTO GEAR. IT DID SO I DROVE IT TO THEM 7 MILES AWAY. ONCE I GOT TO 30 MPH, THE RPM'S WENT TO 4 AND WOULD NOT DECREASE UNTIL THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON TO CETE THE DRIVE. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO NISSAN 3 TIMES PRIOR AND THEY CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR A CVT. ONCE THE CAR REACHED OVER 60K AND WAS OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE THEY LET ME KNOW IT WOULD BE $4,300 TO FIX. I OPENED A CASE AND NISSAN STATES BECAUSE THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED POST WARRANTY THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. I EXPLAINED I HAVE THE DOCUMENTATIOM PROVING I WAS IN THERE PRIOR TO WARRANTY EXPIRING AND THE WOMEN SAID THAT DOESN'T MATTER, THE OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS WAS POST WARRANTY ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES.

TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. HAD PROBLEMS MOVING THE SENTRA OVER TO BREAKDOWN LANE DUE TRAFFIC AND THE SUDDEN DE-ACCELERATION. THE SENTRA REQUIRED TOWING 60 MILES BACK TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AT OUR, THE OWNERS, EXPENSE. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED, NOTING THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON WITH THE SENTRA. OUR 2013 SENTRA HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (CVT) AND LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE COST TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE HAS HAD ONGOING ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION AND THE RPMS GOING PAST WHAT IT SHOULD UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS ISSUE OCCURS SPECIFICALLY WHEN I ACCELERATE. ON JANUARY 21, 2018, AS I WAS MERGING ON TO THE HIGHWAY TRYING TO ACCELERATE, MY SPEED WOULD NOT INCREASE INITIALLY AND MY RPMS WERE PAST 5. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CONCERNING AS I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS IN PROPER WORKING ORDER AFTER HAVING BEEN REPLACED ONCE ALREADY. MY CAR DOESN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY AND I WENT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST WHO ALSO SAID THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I PRESENTED THIS INFORMATION TO THE NISSAN SPECIALIST WHO STATED IT WASN'T AND IT IS FINE. HOWEVER, I'VE HAD INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT OPERATE THE WAY IT SHOULD UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AND PRIOR TO HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.
