POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
TRANSMISSION; I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON MY NISSAN SENTRA TWICE IN THE SPACE OF A YEAR. BEFORE THE LAST CHANGE I SUFFERED A TRANSMISSION LEAK THAT ENTAILED ME ADDING FLUID WHEN A WHINING NOISE STARTS. STEERING; POWER STEERING IS HARD AND DOES NOT MOVE WITH EASE UNLIKE OTHER CARS I HAVE DRIVEN. SPEEDOMETER; SPEED IS INACCURATE. I GOT SPEEDING TICKETS BECAUSE MY SPEEDOMETER DID NOT ACCURATELY DEPICT MY SPEED. IT WAS WRONG AND OFF BY ~5 MPH WHEN SPEED STARTED TO EXCEED 20MPH

SEAT BELTS
THE DRIVER'S SEAT-BELT ON THIS NISSAN SENTRA CANNOT BE APPLIED WHEN PARKED ON A HILL. THERE ARE ONLY SOLUTIONS THAT WORK: PLACE THE SEAT-BELT OVER THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN PARKING, AND REMEMBERING TO SIT-BACK DOWN WITHOUT ALLOWING THE BELT TO RETURN TO THE UNUSED POSITION WHEN BUCKLING BACK UP. THE OTHER SOLUTION IS TO DRIVE WITHOUT WEARING YOUR SEAT-BELT UNTIL YOU REACH A SURFACE FLAT ENOUGH THAT THE SEAT-BELT MECHANISM DISENGAGES ENOUGH TO ALLOW YOU TO BUCKLE UP. OBVIOUSLY, BOTH SOLUTIONS ARE UNREALISTIC AND REPRESENT A REAL SAFETY RISK FOR MOTORISTS. MANY MOTORISTS MAY GIVE UP AND ASSUME THE SEAT-BELT IS BROKEN IF THEY SEE THIS.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
WHILE GOING ON UP AND DOWN STEEP HILLS IN A CITY ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE STALLS AND THE BREAKS STOP WORKING. THIS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES AND TO MY LUCK AS THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC I GOT ESCAPED WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENTS. BOTH THE TIMES I STOPPED THE VEHICLE BY SHIFTING IT TO THE PARKING MODE. SOME TIMES THE STEERING ALSO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS TO MANUAL MODE AND THE STEERING BECOMES TIGHT. SO THE ISSUES ARE WITH BOTH THE BRAKES AND STEERING AND THIS COULD BE A COMPUTER/COMMUNICATION GLITCH WHICH IS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE BRAKES PROPERLY. WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTS AFTER SOMETIME AGAIN BRAKES WORKS NORMALLY AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE. BUT AFTER SOME DAYS THIS ISSUE REPEATS. RIGHT NOW I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE NEARBY DEALER TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON THE VEHICLE CONDITION. ONCE I GET A CLEAR EXPLANATION OF THE VEHICLE CONDITION I WILL ADD MORE INFORMATION TO THIS COMPLAINT. RIGHT NOW THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS 105000. I THINK THERE ARE SOME RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND I AM NOT SURE IF THEY HAVE RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR CASE.
