POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, MY 2007 NISSAN SENTRA LOST POWER THREE TIMES. ALL WARNING SIGNAL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH EACH TIME. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH DISAPPEARED. THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MILE OR SO UNTIL IT CUT OFF AGAIN. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT LOOKS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT FAILURE HTTP://REPAIRPAL.COM/CHECK-ENGINE-LIGHTLOSS-OF-POWER-DUE-TO-THROTTLE-BODY-UNIT-FAILURE-441. *TR

ENGINE
WHILE AT A RED LIGHT WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN THE ENGINE SPUTTERED, THE RPM'S REVVED UP REALLY HIGH, THEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY CUT OFF. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND, WHO WAS DRIVING, WAS ON A CITY STREET AT THE TIME BUT HAD TO EVENTUALLY CROSS A BRIDGE AND WAS EXTREMELY NERVOUS DOING SO. I HAVE A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SCARY SITUATION AND CAUSES EXTREME ANXIETY IN ME KNOWING THAT THE ENGINE COULD CUT OFF AT ANY MOMENT AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH AND/OR FATALITY. *TR

STEERING
MY CAR'S POWER STEERING STOP WORKING. ACCORDING TO NISSAN I NEED A NEW POWER STEERING COLUMN, PRICE 1795.00 PLUS LABOR AND TAX. THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THE NISSAN SENTRA 2007 FOR THIS SAME REASON BUT FOR SOME REASON MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE CHECKED OUT. AFTER THEY HAD THE VEHICLE ALL DAY, AND AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO FIND OUT STATUS, THEY FINALLY TOLD ME THE AIR BAG DEFLATED. THAT WAS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND WAS TOLD BECAUSE THAT DIDN'T WORK, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS WOULD WORK. SAID THAT WAS NORMAL. SOMETIMES THEY JUST DO THAT.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
MY DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT YESTERDAY AND SHE HIT SOMEONE ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE. THE IMPACT WAS ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AND THE FRONT FENDER AND OTHER PARTS OF THE FRONT BUMPER. THE DISTURBING PART OF THIS IS THAT THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE POLICEMAN AND TOW TRUCK DRIVER WERE VERY CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG DID NOT EMPLOY. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. SHE APPEARS TO BE SORE AT THIS POINT. *TR

WHEN I TURN BACK ON MY CAR I NOTICE THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, GOT A DIAGNOSTICS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE WAS PO840 AND PO845 CODES MEAN TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR/ SWITCH. TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN DEALER REPAIR SHOP THEY SAID THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT AND I NEED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. GOT IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THEY REFUSE TO FIX MY PROBLEM. MY NISSAN IS A FIVE YEAR OLD CAR WITH 133000 MILE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR MY TRANSMISSION THAT COST $ 3600.00 DOLLARS JUST FOR THE PARTS NOT THE LOBAR. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO GET NISSAN TO FIX MY CAR FOR FREE. I ALSO LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO SOLVE YOUR ISSUES. *TR
