ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DOOR LOCKS NOT RELIABLE OR SECURE. THEY WILL NOT CONSISTENTLY LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE KEY FOB. BATTERY HAS BEEN CHANGED IN BOTH KEYS AND ISSUE IS STILL OCCURING. ITEMS STOLEN FROM VEHICLE RECENTLY BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS LOCKED AFTER HEARING HORN SOUND WHEN PRESSING LOCK BUTTON ON KEY FOB. CAR WAS PARKED IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A BAY AREA BRIDGE, THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION, STARTED TO SLOW DOWN, EVEN WHILE I PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER, THEY SAID IT HAD TO DO WITH COOLING FAN. AFTER THAT REPAIR, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, ALWAYS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT I FOUND IF I KEPT PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IT WOULD EVENTUALLY START TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE. AFTER A NEAR-ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AS I DROVE THROUGH SAN JOSE, I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN AND THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. 2 DAYS LATER THE HEAT SHIELD FELL OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. 5 DAYS AFTER THAT, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 40MPH, THE CAR AGAIN LOST POWER, SLOWLY DECELERATING, DESPITE PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO PUMP THE GAS IT FINALLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, SO I DID NOT PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION HAD A CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AFTER 25 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP AND 82,000 MILES. CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE. MY TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID HE SEES THIS ALL THE TIME WITH NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES. NISSAN DECLINED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH THE COST OF REPAIRS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS 22,000 MILES PAST THE LIMITED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, AND BECAUSE THIS YEAR SENTRA IS NOT PART OF ANY CURRENT TRANSMISSION RECALL. IT IS MY HOPE TO CALL ATTENTION TO A PRODUCT THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE RECALLED, AS IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. CONSUMERS WHO BUY NISSAN SENTRAS ARE OFTEN BUDGET-MINDED, AND A REPAIR THAT EXCEEDS $4,000 IS NOT EXPECTED AT 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, NOR SHOULD IT BE.

TAKATA RECALL. I BOUGHT A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA SL. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE. STILL NOT FIXED. TALKED TO NISSAN CORPORATE TO FILE THE LEMON LAW. THEY DENIED ME. THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE GOING TO FLY OUT A SPECIAL TECHNICIAN TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY SAID THAT I NEED TO DRIVE MY CAR THAT DOES NOT HAVE WORKING AIR BAGS UNTIL THE TECH COMES OUT, WHICH MAY TAKE UP TO A MONTH. THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER A RENTAL CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY WIFE CAN RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT UNTIL IT GETS FIXED.

I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO NISSAN FEBRUARY 2015. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS YET. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 LAST TIME I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN NOV 28, I GAVE THEM A VIDEO I HAD TAKEN OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATING THE AIRBAG WAS DISABLED ON NOV 26 DURING A TRIP FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO LA. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS DISABLED DURING 120 MILES OF THE TRIP. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN IF I MOVE, LIKE LIFTING YOUR BUTT TO REMOVE YOUR WALLET OUT OF YOUR BACK POCKET, I JUST HAVE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN IT OFF, WAIT FOR A MINUTE AND START IT AGAIN. I POINTED OUT HOW RIDICULOUS THAT STATEMENT WAS. SO WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DRIVE ON A BUMPY ROAD? HE RESPONDED: OK, WE WILL RESET THE SENSOR BUT IT WILL PROBABLY NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. HE WAS RIGHT IN THAT, SAME EVENING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG GOT DISABLED AGAIN. I HAVE SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THE AIR BAG BEING DISABLED AT MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THE CAR HAVE NOW BEEN IN TWICE FOR NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO JUST THAT. *TR
