ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, POWER TRAIN, TIRES
I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS THAT IS COSTING ME LOTS OF MONEY NOW TO FIX. FIVE YEARS AGO, MY DISTRIBUTOR CAP CRACKED, REASON UNKNOWN. DRIVEN BY OLD LADY. BECAUSE IT CRACKED, IT CAUSED WATER TO BE ABLE TO SEEP IN, CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL OUT. DON'T KNOW WHY IT WOULD HAVE CRACKED. ANOTHER PROBLEM IT HAS IS WHEN I WENT TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL, SPRINGS FLEW OUT OF IT. I HAD NEVER USED IT BEFORE. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE AXLES, CV JOINTS AND STEERING KIT. EVERYTHING WENT OUT ON MY CAR. ONE LEAD TO THE NEXT. I CAN'T REALIGN MY CAR BECAUSE MY STEERING KIT AND TIE RODS ARE SHOT ALONG WITH MY AXLES AND CV JOINTS. BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRES TWICE FROM THEM WEARING DOWN. I WOULD FIX IT BUT WHEN I GOT IT ALL PRICED, IT WAS ALMOST $2000. I CAN'T AFFORD THAT. *JB

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF A RECALL FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG OF MY 2002 NISSAN SENTRA IN THE MAIL, WHICH INSTRUCTED ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS MADE FREE OF CHARGE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND APPEARED AT THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THEY CANNOT COMPLETE THE REPAIRS BECAUSE THE RECALL IS NOT YET ARCHIVED IN THEIR SYSTEM, AND THAT THE SYSTEM WILL TAKE ONE BUSINESS DAY TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THIS DIFFICULTY CONTRADICTS THE VERY NATURE OF A RECALL: TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. BECAUSE OF AN INADEQUACY OF THEIR "SYSTEM"--THEY ARE FULLY EQUIPPED MECHANICALLY TO DO THE REPAIR--I'M EXPECTED TO DRIVE HOME AND RETURN A DIFFERENT DAY WITH AN UNSAFE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
PURCHASED 2013 NISSAN SENTRA IN LATE FEB 2013. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I HAD MY WIFE OR MY SON THE CAR. BOTH ARE AROUND 140 POUNDS. I HAVE EVERYTHING RESET/REPROGRAMMED AT THE DEALERSHIP. WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS, THEN SAME PROBLEM. HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE. WORK FINE FOR ANOTHER FEW WEEKS, THEN SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THIS BRAND NEW CAR BACK 6 TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE DONE EVERYHTING THEY KNOW TO DO. I HAVE PROVIDED VIDEOS TO THEM EACH TIME IT HAPPENS. MOST RECENT TIME (#7) HAPPENED A WEEK OR SO AGO (NO IN AUG 2013). WAS ON ABOUT A 15 MINUTE TRIP WITH MY SON IN THE CAR AND THE LIGHT WAS ON THE ENTIRE TIME. DEALERSHIP ASKED ME TO BRING THE CAR IN TO CHECK THE CODES. NOW, MIRACULOUSLY, THERE ARE NO CODES, SO NISSAN IS TELLING THEM THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. MEANWHILE, I CONTINUE TO TAKE VIDEOS OF THE INCIDENTS AS THEY HAPPEN. BUT, NO ONE CAN HELP. NOW IN THE PROCESS OF DEMANDING A NEW CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET SINCE THIS HAPPENED VERY SOON AFTER BUYING. I DOUBT I'LL GET SATISFACTION. FIRST PEOPLE TO BE SUED IF I'M EVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND THAT AIR BAG DOESN'T OPEN WILL BE THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN. DO THE RIGHT THING AND STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCTS AND TRUST LOYAL CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE ALL THE PROOF NEEDED!

POWER TRAIN, AIR BAGS
THIS IS THE THIRD TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE, LAST ONE WAS ONE YEAR AGO. THE AIRBAGS SENSOR CAME ON ALL OF SUDDEN FOR NO REASON AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME A BUNCH OF MONEY JUST TO CHECK IT (NOT TO REPAIR IT, JUST LOOK AT IT FIRST). AFTER THEY CHANGED OUT THE TRANSMISSION IT MAGICALLY FIXED IT SELF? THE TIRE SENSOR IS DISPLAYING THAT IT'S FAULTY / NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

AIR BAGS
TWO DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT THIS 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHEN SISTER (120 BL) SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON, AFTER COUPLE MINUTES THE LIGHT WENT OFF. LATER ON, THE LIGHT ON AGAIN. I CHECK THE USER'S MANU, IT SAID IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG IS NOT IN WORKING CONDITION, IF I HAVE A CRASH, THE PASSENGER WILL NOT GOT ANY AIRBAG PROTECTION. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS COMMON, JUST BECAUSE THE AIRBAG SENSOR UNDER THE "NEW DESIGNED" SEAT WAS NOT SO SENSITIVE,AND HE SAID MY SISTER IS NOT HEAVY ENOUGH(120 BL) TO MAKE THE AIRBAG WORK. THE REASON THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND OFF WAS BECAUSE MY SISTER DID NOT SIT PROPERLY. BUT WHEN I ASK WHY THIS SITUATION NEVER HAPPEN IN MY OTHER CARS. HE COULD NOT SAY ANYTHING. HE TOLD ME THE CAR WAS DESIGNED LIKE THIS. HE DID NOT DO ANYTHING AND HE JUST SENT ME HOME THAT DAY. I GOT A CALL FROM THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY. THEY SAID THEY KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ISSUE, BUT MY CAR WAS NOT IN THAT CATEGORY, EVEN MY CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL ISSUED. WHAT A JOKE!!! IT SEEMS THEY WILL NOT DO NOTHING UNTIL SOMEONE GOT INJURED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IF I CAN NOT GET A GOOD SOLUTION, THIS CAR WILL BE MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN EVER. I FEEL SO DISAPPOINT!!! I HOPE NISSAN WILL NOT BE A SECOND ''TOYOTA". *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, WHEELS
I WENT TO SERVICE CENTER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIX THESE. WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR SLOWLY UNDER 10 MPH, THERE IS NOISE FROM FRONT WHEELS EVERYDAY, IT IS LOUD. I CAN HEAR A CONTINUING SOUND WHEN I TURN MY CAR TO LEFT OR RIGHT ON ROAD. WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR ON LOCAL ROAD, THERE IS NOISE FROM GEAR-KNOB BUTTON(SHIFT-KNOB BUTTON). I FOUND MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE DOOR-LOCK WITH KEY. WHEN I LOCK THE FRONT DOOR, OTHER DOORS ARE NOT LOCK TOGETHER. BUT THE MANUAL DOESN'T SAY LIKE THAT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A VEHICLE FOR 4000 DOLLARS AND ON THE ODOMETER IT SAID IT HAD 75,000 MILES AND THE STICKER SAID 69,204. WE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD DEAL AND INVESTMENT SO WE TOOK IT. SO THIS MAN AND WHOEVER WHO WORKS WITH TEXAS AUTO TRADING INC GOT THE TITLE AND STICKER FOR ME. I NEVER SIGNED ANYTHING AND A FEW DAYS LATER THE CAR STARTED SHOWING 176,00 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THEN ON AUGUST 5, 2013 I CALLED THE INDIVIDUAL JESUS TO ASK FOR THE TITLE AND HE SAID HE HAD GOTTEN IT WITH 10 MORE THAT WERE LATE I ASKED HIM WHY TO HIS ADDRESS AND HE BLAMED SOMEONE ELSE WHENI GAVE HIM MY ADDRESS SEVERAL TIMES. SO IT'S REGISTERED TO HIS HOME. SO I WENT TO GET THE TITLE READ IT HAD 180,000 MILES. SO NONE OF THE INFO WAS RIGHT AND ON CARFAX AND AUTO CHECK IT HAS DIFFERENT INFO SHOWING PROOF OF TAMPERING WITH ODOMETER ON VEHICLE AND TITLE AND STATE INSPECTION. NO EVIDENCE IS ON THE REPORTS OF THE STATE INSPECTION STICKER BEING MADE ON 11/21/12. I CALLED THE LOCAL MESQUITE POLICE AND THEY SAID THE SELLER JESUS HAD SAID "HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE CAR AND HE BOUGHT IT THAT WAY." I WAS NEVER INFORMED AND I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THESE EVASIVE PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK OR WANT TO DISCLOSE HIS LAST NAME OR ANYTHING. I LOOKED AT THE REPORTS ON AUTO CHECK AND CAR FAX AND AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE IT HAD MORE MILES ON IT. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO DEAL WITH THIS CONSUMER FRAUD AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK. I CAN'T SELL OR DO ANYTHING WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE ALL INFO IS FALSE AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S FAIR FOR ME OR ANYONE TO HAVE TO PAY THE BURDEN OF ALL THESE AND MORE EXPENSES. THEY BUY CARS AND RESELL THEM AND I HOPE NO ONE ELSE HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS THIS ODOMETER FRAUD. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT FROM A MAN AT A HOME FOR "X" AMOUNT OF MILES. NOW THE ODOMETER, TITLE, AND STATE INSPECTION STICKER MILES DO NOT MATCH ON DIFFERENT INFORMATION. I BOUGHT THIS CAR I CAN'T SELL OR DO ANYTHING WITH IT. ALL OF THESE DOCUMENTS WERE TAMPERED WITH AND THEY ARE EVASIVE AND DENYING IT ALL EVEN TO THE COPS WHEN I HAVE EVIDENCE AND DO NOT WANT TO GIVE ME MY MONEY IN FULL. I THOUGHT I BOUGHT A GOOD CAR AND NOW I KNOW BETTER AND MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER WITH THIS CAR IT IS NOT SAFE AND I WAS LIED TO. COMPLETE FRAUD ON THE ODOMETER AND MORE. *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM BUENA PARK NISSAN AT THE END OF MAY AND IN MID-JUNE/ EARLY JULY I KEPT HEARING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE EVERY TIME I PRESSED DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. ON JULY 15TH I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MENTIONED THE NOISE TO THE REPRESENTATIVE. I WAS TOLD THAT A PART HAD BEEN ORDERED AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN IT ARRIVED. I HAVE STILL NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY THE DEALERSHIP. RECENTLY I EXPERIENCE THE CAR MOVE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE BRAKE PETAL FIRMLY PRESSED DOWN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM EL CAJON, CA ON THE 52 WHEN I WAS GOING DOWN THE HILL I WAS HEARING THIS LOUD GRINDING CRACKLING NOISE FROM THE REAR BRAKES. THE NOISE STILL TO THIS DAY IS GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN SERVICES TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY HAD A MECHANIC DRIVE WITH ME TO HERE THE NOISE. WHEN WE WERE DRIVING HE SAID THERE WAS NO NOISE. SO THE SERVICE ADVISER CAME TO ME TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO IF THE NOISE WAS NOT CONFIRMED BY THE MECHANIC. SO I CALL MY BOYFRIEND AND TELL HIM TO EXPLAIN THE NOISE WE'VE BEEN HEARING. THEY DO ANOTHER TEST DRIVE AND THE MECHANIC CONFIRMS THAT THERE'S NOISE IN THE REAR BRAKES. I ASKED FOR A RENTAL CAR. THE ADVISER JUST SAID THERE'S NO WAY NISSAN'S GONNA PAY FOR A RENTAL BECAUSE I FEEL UNSAFE. I MENTIONED TO HIM THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE I BASICALLY GO EVERYWHERE WITH MY SON IN MY CAR. HE SAID HE WILL ORDER PARTS AND GET IN CONTACT WITH ME WHEN THEY COME IN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
UPDATE ON WHAT HERB GORDON NISSAN FOUND ON THE BRAKE ISSUE - THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE INSTRUCTED TO LUBE THE BRAKE CYLINDERS AS PER A SERVICE BULLETIN. THE NOISE WAS GONE FOR A FEW DAYS BUT STARTED TO OCCUR AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME THEY CHANGED THE BRAKE CYLINDERS ALL TOGETHER WHICH HAS SEEMED TO FIX THE GRINDING/CRACKLING NOISE. THE AC STOPPED WORKING AND WAS BLOWING HOT AIR - THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE AC COMPRESSOR. SO MANY ISSUES IN LESS THAN 5000 MILES OF DRIVING. *TR

DRIVING AS USUAL AND APPLIED THE BRAKES APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 1,000 MILES AT THAT POINT IN TIME. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER AND HE HAS PARTS ON ORDER AND I WILL RETURN TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HOPE THIS IS THE END OF THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, I AM GREATLY DISAPPOINTED AND STRESSED OUT BY THIS EVENT. I BOUGHT A NISSAN BASED UPON THEIR REPUTATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM FRIENDS. I THINK THIS IS MY FIRST, LAST AND ONLY NISSAN EVER. I HAD A 12 YEAR OLD TOYOTA CAMRY THAT WAS MORE RELIABLE THAN THIS. I HOPE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE BRAKE ISSUE IS UNDERTAKEN AND QUICKLY SINCE IT COULD TURN INTO A DANGEROUS AND UNFORTUNATE SITUATION FOR MANY. *TR

ENGINE
NISSAN 2004 SENTRA 1.8S HAD THE IDENTICAL ISSUE AS THE 2.5 LITER ENGINE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. AFTER DRIVING FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY EVERY SENSOR LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE CAR TURNED OFF INCLUDING POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND SAFELY STOP THE CAR. THE CAR DID NOT APPEAR TO OVERHEAT AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS IN THE ACCEPTABLE RANGE SO I LET THE CAR SIT FOR TWO MINUTES AND I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN BEFORE CALLING AAA. THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AND ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THE CODE CAME BACK CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS DRIVING LATE AT NIGHT AND NOT DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. A FAULTY SENSOR SHOULD NOT CAUSE A COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN OKLAHOMA IN APRIL 2013, AND ALL THE DASH GAUGES QUIT ON THE WAY HOME, ALONG WITH THE ODOMETER GOING OUT. AFTER THE CAR COOLED DOWN, THE GAUGES/ODOMETER STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THE CAR WAS THEN DRIVEN CROSS COUNTRY TO WASHINGTON STATE, AND WHEN THE HEATER WAS TURNED ON, AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE GAUGES/ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. ONCE COOLED OFF, THE GAUGES/ODOMETER WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. THE CAR WAS THEN DRIVEN TO TEXAS, AND THE SAME ISSUES CAME UP, ALL CENTERED AROUND TEMPERATURE. IT SEEMS WHEN THE HEATER IS TURNED ON (WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN WA), OR IF IT IS HOT OUTSIDE (THE DRIVE TO TEXAS, AND WHILE THE CAR HAS BEEN IN TEXAS), THE GAUGES WILL STOP WORKING AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME, AND WILL START WORKING AGAIN ONCE THE TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE CAR HAS COOLED DOWN. CURRENTLY WE ARE HAVING 100 DEGREE WEATHER DAYS IN TEXAS, SO IF THE CAR IS HOT WHEN LEAVING THE HOUSE, THE GAUGES WON'T WORK, UNTIL THE AC HAS BEEN ON ENOUGH TO COOL THE INSIDE OF THE CAR (AND I ASSUME GAUGES) DOWN. USING THE CAR AFTER THE AC HAS BEEN ON AND THE INSIDE OF THE CAR IS COOL, THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE GAUGES. IF YOU TURN THE AC OFF AND ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN, ONCE THE HEAT BUILDS UP IN THE CAR (ABOUT 85 DEGREES OR SO), THE GAUGES WILL GO OFF AGAIN. *TR

FUNNY, I HAVE HAD MY 2013 SENTRA TO FALHABER NISSAN 6 TIMES FOR THIS SAME BRAKE ISSUE, AIR BAG (THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT), AND THE A-PILLAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE KEEPS COMING LOOSE. TO DATE I STILL HAVE THE GRINDING NOISE AND BRAKE ISSUE ALONG WITH THE A-PILLAR COMING LOOSE WHICH THE AIR BAG IS LOCATED BEHIND. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WAS IN MY TRUNK, MY LICENSE PLATE VIBRATING AND EVEN STATED TO ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR, WHY LIE TO ME? FIX THE PROBLEM OR RETURN MY MONEY IS HOW I FEEL. MY SAFETY AND OTHERS WITH ME IS TOO IMPORTANT. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE DECREASE IN ACCELERATION THANKFULLY, NOT WHILE IN TRAFFIC. I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. BEN FROM FALHABER STATED TO ME A COUPLE TIMES ALONG WITH OTHERS FROM NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS REPORTED THIS. AGAIN, ANOTHER LIE AFTER READING ALL THESE POSTS. I HAVE FILED FOR THE LEMON LAW REFUND. *TR
