FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA AND WITHIN 6 MONTHS THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY WENT OUT. IT STARTED ACTING FUNNY ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN TO AN APPT. AND WITHIN 2 HOURS EXITED THE INTERSTATE AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE OFF THE RAMP DUE TO TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED NO RAVING OR RPM MOVEMENT NOTHING. FINALLY I SHUT HER OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES RESTARTED PUT HER IN DRIVE AND SHE JERKED AND LUNGED ACROSS INTERSECTION. SHE THEN THREW THE ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. PRIOR TO STOPPING AND LUNGING NOT SO MUCH AS A LIGHT HAD COME ON. THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT HAD GOTTEN BAD GAS A TIME OR TWO BUT OTHERWISE NO WARNING OR ANYTHING PRIOR.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
ON SUNDAY, SEPT 22 2019 AT AROUND 1:40PM WE WERE HEADED HOME FROM AN VACATION AT A CABIN RENTAL PROPERTY IN SEVIERVILLE, TN. NOT EVEN QUARTER MILE FROM OUR CABIN ON A STRAIGHT AND DOWN HILL ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKES STOPPED FUNCTIONING. I APPLIED BRAKES MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THE CAR DIDN'T STOP AND IN ORDER TO AVOID A SMALL POND ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND THE CAR IN FRONT I HAD TO DIVERT MY CAR ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. AS I HIT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL BUSTED AND THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPPED FURTHER AT THE UP HILL. I DON'T KNOW IF THE BRAKES FAILED AND/OR THE ABS AND/OR THE ONBOARD COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONED. I DID SEE ABS AND VDC LIGHTS SIGN COMING ON THE DASHBOARD FOR AT LEAST 2 HOURS BEFORE DISAPPEARING ON ITS OWN. ALSO SINCE THEN THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGN HAS NEVER GONE OFF. THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGNS BLINKS FOR A LITTLE WHILE EVERY TIME START THE CAR AND THEN GETS STEADY. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN SAFETY CONCERN TO ME AS I STILL CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW WOULD THE CAR DO NOTHING EVEN AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES SO MANY TIMES. WITH AN 2011 MODEL AND ONLY 56000 MILES ON IT I WOULD NEVER EXPECT SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN. SO SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW AS WE HAVE AN TWO YEAR OLD WHO WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT & MY WIFE GOT AN MINOR INJURY TO HER LEFT ELBOW. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO NISSAN BY CALLING 800-647-7261 ON SEPT 24 2019 AND HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM SINCE THAN.

2019 NISSAN SENTRA PURCHASED IN JULY 2019 - MY STEREO WILL REBOOT ON ITS OWN COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN AND REBOOTING WITH THE NISSAN/NISSANCONNECT LOGOS. TYPICALLY DOES THIS ON ANY MODE OF THE STEREO AND WILL HAPPEN AFTER ABOUT 4 SONGS ON BLUETOOTH OR IF YOU SKIP MORE THAN TWO SONGS AT A TIME. DOES NOT REALLY IMPACT DRIVING AS I'VE YET TO SEE IT IMPACT USE OF THE BACKUP CAMERA.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PURCHASED CAR NEW AND ONE WEEK INTO OWNERSHIP HAD THE FRONT PROXIMITY SENSOR GO BAD, WHICH DISABLES VEHICLE SAFETY SYSTEMS INCLUDING CRUISE CONTROL. AFTER WAITING A MONTH ON A BACK ORDERED PART IT WAS INSTALLED AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. 1 YEAR LATER THE SENSOR AGAIN WAS DIAGNOSED AS BAD AND ONE WAS ORDERED , THE NEW PART CAME IN DAMAGED AND WHEN REORDERING THE PART, IT AGAIN WENT TO BACK ORDER. IT HAS NOW BEEN A MONTH, AND STILL NO PART. NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE WAS CONTACTED AND THE "ESCALATED" THE COMPLAINT TO A "REGIONAL LEVEL". ALL THAT HAS ACCOMPLISHED IS AN OCCASIONAL PHONE CALL FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE TELLING ME THAT THE PART IS NOT IN AND HE HASN'T EVEN GOT A TIMEFRAME FOR IT. ALSO THAT THERE ARE 1000 VEHICLES AWAITING THAT PART AND MINE IS AT THE HEAD OF THE PACK. THIS IS A SAFETY SENSITIVE PART AND THEY ARE NOT MAINTAINING AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS , AND ARE RETURNING VEHICLES TO CUSTOMERS TO DRIVE WHILE AWAITING THE REPLACEMENT.
