ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON FEBRUARY 9, 2015 I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN SENTRA AND EVERYTHING STOPPED (ALL POWER) I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY SO I GOT A JUMP IT STARTED AND I DROVE TO THE STORE. WHEN I STOPPED AT A STORE THE CAR WAS DEAD AGAIN. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION I REALIZED THE BATTERY TERMINAL ON THE POSITIVE SIDE WAS NOT STAYING ON THE BATTERY SO THEREFORE THE POWER IN THE CAR COULD STOP AT ANY TIME. I RESEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPEN WITH ANY OTHER NISSAN SENTRAS, AND FOUND IT HAD SO I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALLS FOR THE CAR I HAVE DID NOT INCLUDE THE BATTERY TERMINAL. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THIS EXACT PROBLEM WAS AN ISSUE REPORTED AND RECALLS DONE FOR OTHER SENTRAS IS IT POSSIBLE THE SAME COULD BE FOR MY CAR. I THINK THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN SHOULD REPAIR THE CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN THE FIRST INCIDENT, I CAME OUT FROM SEEING A MOVIE AND I COULD NOT GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK. A FRIEND CAME TO TRY TO HELP AND GOT IT INTO NEUTRAL BUT IT WOULD NOT SHIFT ANY FURTHER. THE PROBLEM TURNED OUT TO BE THE KEY RELEASE CABLE. I HAD A PROBLEM AGAIN IN EARLY NOVEMBER AT APPROX 36,500 MILES. THIS TIME THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. SAME KEY RELEASE CABLE WAS THE PROBLEM. EVEN NOW THE CAR STILL MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE KEY SEEMS TO SCRAPE AS IT COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION. SOMETIMES I PULL THE KEY OUT (AND THERE IS THE SCRAPING NOISE) AND THE DOORS DO NOT UNLOCK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA AND THE ECM HAS GONE OUT DUE TO A FACTORY DEFECT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2010 NISSAN SENTRAS, HOWEVER MY PARTICULAR VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED AND THEREFORE NISSAN WILL NOT MAKE THE REPAIRS. NOT LONG AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE BATTERY. IT WOULDN'T START AT TIMES. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY, HOWEVER STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUES. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FEW MECHANICS AND THEY COULDN'T DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. EVENTUALLY THE CAR JUST STOPPED. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE, BUT IT WAS AROUND 12.7.14. THANKFULLY, I WASN'T DRIVING AT THE MOMENT, HOWEVER LOOKING AT OTHER PEOPLE'S STORIES, THEIRS DID. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THAT'S WHEN I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE ECM. AFTER DOING MY OWN RESEARCH, I SAW THE RECALL AND THE PEOPLE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WITH MY CAR AND THEN THEIR ECM DIED. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE STUCK WITH THIS CAR OR HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE REPAIRS, HOWEVER NISSAN WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE AS MENTIONED, MY PARTICULAR VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THAT IS BULLCRAP AT IT'S FINEST. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I PREVIOUSLY FILED COMPLAINT, BUT WAS NOW TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT AFTER THE MANIFOLD WAS REPLACED, THAT THE TRANSMISSION ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MORE WAITING TIME, MORE UNANSWERED PHONE CALLS, MORE POOR SERVICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE SENTRA BROKE DOWN ON 12/20/14 AND I'LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO PICK UP MY CAR ON 1/24/15. NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10672846 SUMMARY: MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 15 AS WE LEFT SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. IN THE CAR WAS MY ADULT DAUGHTER AND MY TWO GRANDDAUGHTERS, AGES 1 1/2 AND 10 MONTHS. I WAS AHEAD OF HER IN OUR NISSAN PATHFINDER. SHE CALLED MY PHONE AND SAID THAT THE CAR RPM'S WERE FLUCTUATING AND THAT THE CAR WASN'T GOING TO MAKE IT HOME TO TWENTYNINE PALMS. WE PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY IN ESCONDIDO. I CHECKED THE SENTRA AND FOUND THAT IN IDLE AND PARK THAT THE ENGINE RAN FINE. WHEN I DROVE THE CAR, IT WAS LURCHING LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T SHIFTING CORRECTLY. AFTER CHECKING THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, I DROVE TO A WELL LITE PARKING LOT AND WHILE THE FAMILY ATE, I CALLED AAA AND HAD THE SENTRA TOWED TO MOSSY NISSAN OF ESCONDIDO. ON MONDAY THE 22ND, MY WIFE CALLED MOSSY NISSAN AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY CALLED HER BACK SAYING THAT IT WASN'T THE TRANSMISSION, THAT A SENSOR HAD BEEN TAKEN OFF OF THE MANIFOLD BY HER HUSBAND OR OUR MECHANIC. SHE ASSURED THEM THAT SINCE THE CAR WAS ONLY 13 MONTHS OLD AND UNDER WARRANTY, NO MECHANIC HAD WORKED ON THE CAR AND THAT I HAD ONLY DONE THE OIL CHANGES, BUT HAD NOT WORKED ON THE ENGINE. MOSSY NISSAN SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY SINCE THE SENSOR IN THE MANIFOLD WAS REMOVED. THEY REFERRED ME TO NISSAN USA, WHICH SAID THE SAME THING; THAT SINCE THE SENSOR WAS MISSING, THEY HAD NOTHING TO TURN IN FOR WARRANTY, SO THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE CAR WHEN IS IN A COMPLETE STOP, MAKES A LAUD SOUND. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO COME OUT OF GEAR. THE SHIFTER GET LOCK, IT GETS REALLY HARD TO CHANGE THE GEARS FROM (P TO D) IS HAS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIME MORE THAN 30 TIMES. I WENT TO PLANET NISSAN ON CENTENNIAL BLVD, LAS VEGAS NV, THE FIRST TIME LATE DECEMBER I SHOW THE WORKER. I SHOW HIM A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM, THE VIDEO YOU CAN HEAR AND SEE WHEN THE DRIVE HANDLE GETS STUCK OR LOCK. HE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR SHOULD NOT MAKE THAT SOUND, AND HE ORDER THE PART FOR IT (THE SHIFTER).HE SAID YES AND HE SCHEDULE A APPOINTMENT FOR 1/21/15 8:00. WHEN I PICK MY CAR UP,I WENT HOME AND PARK MY CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY IT MADE THE SOUND AGAIN, THEN I PARK THE CAR IN THE STREET, AND THEN MADE THE SOUND AGAIN AND THE DRIVE HANDLE GOT LOCK. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TEST DRIVE IT WITH THE WORKER AND HE SAID IT WAS NORMAL. THAT ALL CARS MAKE THAT SOUND WHEN THEY ARE PARK IN A HILL. I TOLD HIM MY DRIVEWAY IS NOT A HILL AND THE STREET WHERE I PARK MY CAR EVERYDAY IS NOT A HILL, WHERE I PARK AT WORK IS NOT A HILL, I WAS UNHAPPY AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE CAR FOR SERVICE BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE A VISIBLE PROBLEM OR THEY NEVER FOUND A PROBLEM WHEN THEY REPLACE THE SHIFTER AND VERIFIED THE FIX. MY SISTER HAS THE SAME CAR JUST 2014 ONE YEAR DIFFERENCE AND SHE PARKS HER CAR IN THE DRIVE WAY ALL THE TIME AND IS FINE. I FELL LIKE IS THE TRANSMISSION OR GEARS I DON'T KNOW. MY CAR IS IN THE WARRANTY I EVEN PAY EXTRA 1 YEAR WARRANTY. THIS PEOPLE JUST GIVE ME THE TURN AROUND AND THEY DON'T WANT TO CHECK MY CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, WHY? WHY? ARE THEY NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO? I KNOW THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME. MY CAR HAS ONLY 13752 MILES. PLEASE HELP WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

AIR BAGS
THE ISSUE BEGAN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD RANDOMLY GO OFF, WHILE THE PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. SHORTLY AFTER NOTICING THIS NISSAN PUT OUT A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE NOW TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES, AND ALTHOUGH THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BOTH TIMES, IT CONTINUES TO EXIST. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN CORPORATE AROUND A DOZEN TIMES. THEY HAVE NO SENSE OF URGENCY, AND EACH CONVERSATION HAS TO HAPPEN 48 HOURS APART, FOR SOME STRANGE REASON. I AM STILL WAITING FOR ANOTHER CALLBACK SO A SPECIALIST CAN NOW COME TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE. AN APPOINTMENT LIKE THIS TAKES A MORE THAN 4 WEEKS TO ARRANGE; AGAIN, NO URGENCY. EACH TIME THEY MAKE ME SCHEDULE SOMETHING, I HAVE TO TAKE A DAY OFF OF WORK, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT ACCOMMODATE EVENING SCHEDULES. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERN OVER THE DANGERS WITH THIS ISSUE, YET IT SEEMS AS THOUGH NISSAN DOES NOT CARE. QUITE FRANKLY, I AM NERVOUS TO HAVE PEOPLE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY VEHICLE. IT IS A BIT STRANGE TO HAVE MY WIFE SIT IN THE BACK SEAT, BUT THIS BEATS HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT DANGERS OF SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. *TR
