STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY FIRST INDECENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL ON, MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS CUT OFF. AS I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE BACK TO MY DRIVING SPEED, THE GAS PEDAL FELT LOOSE AND MY CAR WAS HAVING TROUBLE REVVING UP TO ACCELERATE AND WOULD NOT LET ME ACCELERATE BACK UP TO POSTED HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR THEN "JUMPED" FORWARD AND WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND ALLOWED ME ACCELERATE. HOWEVER, I WAS NOT ABLE TO ENGAGE MY CRUISE CONTROL BACK TO NORMAL AND WOULD CUT IT OFF EVERY TIME I SET IT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY FOR AN INITIAL RECALL NOTICE TO BE FIXED AND EXPLAINED ALSO WHAT HAPPENED. WHEN I DESCRIBED MY ISSUE THE SERVICE MAN HAD SAID IT SOUNDED AS IF MY TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING, THAT THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. AFTER RECALL WAS CARED FOR AND TWO TEST DRIVES LATER, THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. TOLD ME IF PROBLEM COMES BACK TO BRING IN IMMEDIATELY. ON 07/06/2016 ON MY DRIVE HOME AT NIGHT, I CAME TO A LIGHT AND YIELDED,UPON TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO TURN MY CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND WAS HAVING ISSUES ONCE AGAIN REVVING UP! I DRIFTED IN TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT, PUT MY CAR IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. IT ACTED FINE UNTIL I WAS FURTHER DOWN ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND IT WAS GIVING ISSUES ACCELERATING AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY (07/07) AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN. THEY CALLED ME AFTER SOMETIME, AND MADE ME AWARE OF WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE(CONDENSATION IN THE TAIL LIGHTS!) AND HOW IT WAS AFFECTING MY VEHICLE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER AND NISSAN ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAVE YET TO ISSUE A RECALL!! THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT CAN LEAD TO A FATAL ACCIDENT!!

AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WESTON NISSAN VOLVO / TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN IN DECEMBER 2013, I BOUGHT A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA, FROM YOUR DEALER SERVICES WESTON NISSAN. SO FAR, I RECEIVED FOREVER THE SERVICES FROM YOUR SPECIALIZED DEPARTMENT, MAINTENANCE REQUIRED BY YOUR PEOPLE IN THE SAME PLACE WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. A FEW DAYS AGO, THE VEHICLE PRESENTED A FAULT ACCORDING TO REPORTS BY THE MECHANIC OF WESTON NISSAN; CORRESPONDS TO A FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION. THAT PERSON NOTIFIED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION (POWERTRAIN) IS DAMAGED AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $ 4000. THIS TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGES BECAUSE PROPER MAINTENANCE WAS NOT PERFORMED, AS REPORTED BY THE MECHANIC. NOW, AS CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE? , IF THE CAR CONSTANTLY CARRY TO SERVICE ACCORDING TO THE WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS UPON MILES. AND IN THE SERVICE RECORD, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS NO SERVICE FOR THIS PART. NISSAN SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR TRANSMISSION PRODUCT, REPUTATION AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR ALL CONSUMERS WHO EXPERIENCE A TRAUMATIC AND COSTLY SITUATION DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY AND FAILED TRANSMISSION. NISSAN DECLINE TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. ALSO, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE IN THAT SHORT TIME THE CAR SUFFERED AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEMS, REPLACEMENT GAS PUMP, AIR BAG PROBLEMS (MANY TIMES) AND MORE RECENTLY SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IN MY CAR'S SERVICE RECORD, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF CHANGING AIR FILTERS AND OTHER IMPORTANT CAR'S PARTS, WHICH GIVES SERIOUS DOUBTS ABOUT YOUR SERVICE'S QUALITY. PERSONALLY, REPLACE THE AIR FILTER WAS NEVER CHANGED. I THINK THERE IS NO REASON, IF THERE IS BEEN A PROPERLY SERVICE, TO HAVE ALL THIS ISSUES WITH MY CAR. BEST REGARDS, NHTSA RECALL 14V-138

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
SUBJECT: DRIVERS ARE MISLED BY THE NEWER ILLUMINATED DASHBOARDS TO THINK THEIR HEADLIGHTS ARE ON SEVERAL TIMES, I DROVE DURING THE NIGHT AND I WAS MISLED BY THE BRIGHTLY LIT DASHBOARD INTO BELIEVING THAT MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. IN FACT, THEY WERE OFF. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHER DRIVERS REPORT WITH ALL THE NEWER CARS THAT MUST HAVE AN ILLUMINATED DASHBOARD DURING THE DAY. PLEASE SEE A DETAILED DESCRIPTION IN THIS ARTICLE: HTTP://JALOPNIK.COM/HOW-LED-DAYTIME-RUNNING-LIGHTS-AND-LCD-INSTRUMENTS-ARE-1782654483 ALSO SEE THE HUNDREDS OF USER COMMENTS ON THIS SUBJECT. WHAT IS NEEDED? NEW RULES ON HOW TO PREVENT DRIVERS DRIVING THEIR CARS DURING DARK WITH THE LIGHTS OFF. A STUDY IS NEEDED TO FIND THE RIGHT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUE NEW MANDATORY GUIDELINES TO VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND PREVENT MORE CARS TO BE MANUFACTURED WITH THIS FLAW. ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN IF CARS ARE HAVE THIER LIGHTS OFF DURING TH NIGHT.

STEERING
I RENTED THIS VEHICLE FROM BUDGET RENTAL CARS AND WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 435 GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR. I HEARD AND FELT A "POP" AND MY POWER STEERING FAILED. I WAS WITHIN .1 MILES OF AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE WRESTLE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SAFELY STOP. I AM NOT SURE IF A WOMEN LIKE MY WIFE WOULD BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR IF SHE WERE THE DRIVER. AFTER I STOPPED AND TURNING THE CAR OFF, THE PS LIGHT (THAT LIGHT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT) TURNED OFF AND POWER STEERING RETURNED. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND AWAITING A RENTAL EXCHANGE. VERY UNSAFE SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA HAS ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. AT VARIOUS TIMES EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR FULL PUSHED DOWN, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND WILL EVENTUALLY SLOW TO UNDER 20 MPH EVEN ON A FLAT SURFACE. NISSAN HAS REPAIRED THE ISSUE ONCE, BUT NOW WILL NOT RESPOND TO MY CORRESPONDENCE IN REGARDS TO THE ISSUE, NOW THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, I HAVE LESS THAN 45K ON THE CAR. IN ADDITION, THE TAILS LIGHTS ARE RETAINING MOISTURE, I HAVE READ THAT THIS MAY BE CAUSING A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND IT IS NOW PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS UNRESOLVED. MILEAGE AT THE FIRST INCIDENT IS APPROXIMATE, BUT IT DID HAPPEN LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR NEW.
