EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I HAVE A '97 & '99 NISSAN SENTRA GXE & BOTH HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME AC PROBLEM - THE AUXILIARY FAN ( AIR CON COOLING FAN) STOPPED WORKING FOR BOTH WHEN THEY HAD RELATIVELY LOW MILES ON THEM - 30000 - 45000 MILES FOR THE '97 & 32000 MILES FOR THE '99. ON THE '97 BECAUSE WE NEVER GOT TO KNOW FROM REGULAR SERVICING THAT THE FAN WASN'T WORKING, THE AC COMPRESSOR STOPPED WORKING & WE WERE LEFT WITH CHANGING THE WHOLE AIR CON SYSTEM FOR OVER $900. ON THE '99 THE FAN HAS JUST BEEN DIAGNOSED - THE AIR CON COMPRESSOR STILL SEEMS FINE. THESE PROBLEMS WERE DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER & WE WERE TOLD THAT "LIKE THE '97, THE '99 WILL NEED A NEW AC COMPRESSOR IF WE DON'T QUICKLY REPLACE THE FAN." *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2002 NISSAN SENTRA. I WAS GOING ABOUT 25 MPH ON A HWY. RAMP,IT WAS WET OUT, AND THE RAMP CURVED. I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THEY SEEMED TO LOCK. I HAD NO STEERING AND THEY WOULD NOT STOP BRAKING.I CRASHED HARD INTO THE CURB. I WATCHED OTHER CARS GO BY AND THEY WERE FINE. THEN ANOTHER NISSAN SENTRA CAME AND THE SAME THING. HE ALSO CRASHED INTO THE CURB . MY DAMAGE IS ABOUT $650. AND THIS MAN'S IS OVER $2000. I HAD MY TIRE ARM REPLACED AND MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE. WE SWAPPED NUMBERS AS I WITNESSED HIS ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD MY LOCAL DEALER HERE IN WI. INSPECT MY BRAKE SYSTEM AND THEY SAY THEY ARE FINE. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. MY CONCERN IS SAFETY HERE AS THIS WAS VERY SCAREY AND WE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT VERY BAD OR WORSE. PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO MY NEXT STEP AS I GOT NO HELP FROM MY DEALER OR NISSAN. THANK YOU.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE WIRING UNDER THE WINDOW CONTROLS IN THE DRIVER DOOR STARTED TO SMOLDER AND BURST INTO FLAMES WITHIN SECONDS. PART OF THE PLASTIC DOOR PANEL MELTED. IT TOOK TWO WATERING CANS OF WATER TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY, BUT I SEE ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT A SIMILAR COMPLAINT WAS FILED TODAY. IT MIGHT BE WORTHWHILE TO CHECK INTO THIS. *NLM
