ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CAR ENGINE STALLS WHILE RUNNING.. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM DRIVING, THE CAR WILL JUST SHUT OFF AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. LUCKILY THE BRAKES STILL WORK SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. ONCE PULLED OVER I TURN THE KEY OFF AND START THE CAR BACK UP AGAIN AND IT WORKS FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED A REPEATED NUMBER OF TIMES. I AM SURE IT IS THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR OR ECM LIKE THE 2006 RECALL OF THE ALTIMA'S AND SENTRAS. *TR

SHE WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND CONSEQUENTLY, SHE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE AND A GROCERY CART. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE PLACED THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT A HIGH SPEED. SHE FINALLY TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT DID INFORM THE MANUFACTURER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 7,000. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2004 NISSAN SENTRA 1.8L BLEW HEAD GASKET, CYLINDER 3 AT 77000 MILES. ENGINE WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND NEVER OVERHEATED. DUE TO VAST NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET SUSPECT A DEFECTIVE HEAD GASKET WAS THE CAUSE. CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS ENGINE RUNS ON 3 CYLINDERS THUS LOW POWER. REPAIR COST WAS $1200. OPENED A CASE WITH NISSAN FOR ASSISTANCE AND ABSOLUTELY NONE WAS OFFERED. I HAVE NEVER HAD A HEAD GASKET FAILURE ON A VEHICLE AND EVEN HAD ONE VW RUNNING 300+ MILES WITH NO HEAD GASKET ISSUES. NISSAN THUS FAR HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE GASKET DEFECT, A TYPICAL PATTERN OF AUTO MANUFACTURERS. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE THIS COSTLY AND POTENTIALLY SAFETY RELATED DEFECT AND REQUIRE THAT NISSAN ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND PROVIDE REMEDIATION FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR NISSAN SENTRA 2010 BROKE DOWN ON PARKING LOT AT MY WORKPLACE (LACK OF ELECTRICITY) ON NOV 30, 2010. AT THAT TIME I WAS NOT AWARE ABOUT A RECALL FOR POSITIVE CABLE TO CAR'S BATTERY. WITH MY COLLEAGUES AT WORK WE TRIED TO USE JUMPING CABLES TO START THE ENGINE. AFTER UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS CAR WAS TOWED TO KENDRICK'S NISSAN IN LAFAYETTE INDIANA. THE NEXT DAY DEALER'S TECHNICAL ADVISER TOLD ME THAT ECM IS BROKEN AND IT LOOKS THAT I BURNED IT DURING RE-START ENGINE ATTEMPT USING WRONGLY (REVERSING) CABLES. HE ADDED THAT I BROKE A WARRANTY AND I HAVE TO PAY $871 FOR REPAIR. I BELIEVE THAT DIAGNOSIS IS NOT CORRECT AND THAT THE REASON FOR CAR STARTING PROBLEM WAS FAULTY CONNECTION CABLE WHICH COULD ALSO CAUSE SOME OTHER DAMAGES DURING A RE-START ATTEMPT. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
RE: REAR TIRE - 2008 NISSAN SENTRA THE REAR TIRES ON THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN GOING FLAT OR BLOWN OUT MORE THAN 6 TIMES OVER THE LAST 67,000 MILES. THE FRONT TIRES ON THE VEHICLE HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. A FEW TIMES THE TIRES HAVE SLOWLY DEFLATED AND I WAS ABLE TO INFLATE THEM A FEW TIMES BEFORE HAVING TO REPLACE THEM. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER TIMES WHERE THE TIRE HAS BLOWN OUT VERY BADLY ON THE HIGHWAY. ALL THESE OCCURRENCES ONLY HAPPEN TO THE REAR TIRES OF THE VEHICLE. ONCE, I GOT ONE OF THE DEFLATED REAR TIRES REPAIRED AND THEN IT BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY A FEW MONTHS LATER. SINCE THIS IS A VERY TIME CONSUMING PROCESS, I USUALLY GET THE TIRE REPLACED. I HAVE OWNED CARS CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 1997 (2 HONDA CIVICS) AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PERSISTENT TIRE PROBLEMS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM FOR ME.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
1. SHAKING WHEN CAR WAS TURNED ON. LOSING POWER WHILST DRIVING. LOSING COOLANT. 2. HEAD GASKET WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE LEAKING. OCCURRED CONSTANTLY WHEN CAR TURNED ON, LOST POWER AS DRIVING, IDLED ROUGH, FAILED TO POINT COULD NO LONGER DRIVE AS COULD NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT SHAKING OR FEELING LIKE IT WOULD STALL. ODD PART IS IT SEEMED TO BE BETTER ON COOLER MORNINGS. 3. READ CODES FOR MISFIRE CYLINDER 4, AND RANDOM MISFIRE. ALSO RUNNING A LITTLE ELEVATED TEMPERATURE. WE CHANGED SPARK PLUGS, COILS, AND STILL HAD THE PROBLEM. SEARCHED ONLINE TO FIND THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR ALL HAD SAME CODES. THE SOLUTION ON MULTIPLE MESSAGE BOARDS THAT 2005 NISSAN SENTRA ALL HAD PROBLEMS WITH HEAD GASKET BLOWING. WHEN ASKED MECHANIC TO CHECK, HE FOUND CYLINDER 4 BE VERY CLEAN WHICH HE BELIEVED WAS DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING IN. HE USED A SEALANT PRODUCT THROUGH THE SYSTEM THAT FILLED IN LEAKS. HE SAID THE HEAD GASKET DESIGN WAS DIFFERENT. THEY WERE BOLTS THAT SEEMED TO STRETCH AS THEY TIGHTEN WHICH WOULD OBVIOUSLY CRACK OR BREAK AFTER GENERAL USE. HE SAID THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM IF ANY FRAGMENTS WERE TO BE LOSE IN THE SYSTEM COULD DAMAGE OTHER PARTS SUCH AS A WATER PUMP. WE ARE WATCHING THE WATER LEVELS. WE HAVE PARKED THE CAR BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW IF OR WHEN THE CAR WILL REPEAT THE ISSUE. THE COST IS ABOUT 2,000 DOLLARS TO FIX THE HEAD GASKET. WHO KNOWS WHAT OTHER DAMAGE HAS BEEN CAUSED TO OTHER PARTS AS WELL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR RAN FINE, UNTIL ONE DAY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMED TO DIE (ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED) AND THE CAR SEEMED TO LOCK ITSELF UP. THE POWER STEERING STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND MADE IT HARD TO DRIVE. AFTER PULLING OVER TO RESTART IT, IT WOULD NOT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT MAY BE THE BATTERY, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE EXACT PROBLEM. IT'S BEEN NEARLY A WEEK SINCE THE PROBLEM STARTED AND NO RESOLUTION YET. I CHOSE TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION IT BECAME VERY UNSAFE TO OPERATE. SINCE I WAS IN A FAIRLY RESIDENTIAL AREA IT WASN'T HARD FOR ME TO PULL OVER AND GET HELP, BUT HAD I BEEN ON A MAJOR ROADWAY I COULD SEE THIS PROBLEM BEING POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS. I ALSO FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE MORE CLOSELY LOOKED AT SINCE THE TECHNICIANS WERE NOT ABLE TO ACCURATELY IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAD YET TO BE SEEN UNTIL I BROUGHT MY CAR IN. *TR
