ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CAR STARTED WITH A LOT OF HESITATION THEN IT STARTED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN IT WAS TIME TO PULL FROM A RED LIGHT IT TOOK TIME EXHILARATING TO WHERE I WOULD ONLY MOVE A LITTLE BIT AND AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. ALL OF A SUDDEN I COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO MOVE MUCH AT ALL WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR BACK UP AND GETTING JUST ENOUGH PUSH TO DRIVE FOR 5 SECONDS I START OUT DRIVING ON A HIGH WAY WHEN IT HAPPENED AND MADE IT TO MY SISTER HOUSE AS I NOTICED IT BEGINNING TO SLOW DOWN AND IT BECAME WORST AS I DROVE IT TO HER HOUSE.

ENGINE
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TRIGGERED AND I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY LOCAL NISSAN SHOP. THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING ROUGH, LOOSING POWER, AND BURNING OIL. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW SPARK PLUGS AND A NEW BOOT. AFTER AGREEING TO PAY THE $500, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE SHOP. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED, THAT ACTUALLY I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. AFTER THE $500 IN WORK HAD BEEN DONE, THE MECHANIC PERFORMED A COMPRESSION TEST. THE TEST INDICATED A BAD ENGINE. SO THE WORK WAS DONE ON A BAD ENGINE. THE CAR HAD ABOUT 100,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS ALWAYS HAD PROPER MAINTENANCE. SO WHY IS IT BAD ALREADY? AND WHY WAS I MISLEAD TO PAY $500 ON A BAD ENGINE? THIS IS NOT RIGHT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
"TAKATA RECALL", CAR HAS DAYS WHERE IT WON'T START DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE ECM MODULE. I BOUGHT THE CAR LIKE THAT AND WHEN IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY AND WE SWITCHED OUT THE BATTERY, HOWEVER A MONTH LATER IT DID THE SAME THING. I NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE BATTERY TERMINAL THAT MAY EFFECT THE ECM ON SOME MODERN VEHICLES, HOWEVER WHEN I TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEY SAID BASED ON MY VIN NUMBER MY VEHICLE ISN'T AFFECTED. MY CAR IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATES, SO I BELIEVE THAT MY VIN NUMBER NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL LIST.

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT SMOOTHLY. JERKS AT HIGH OR LOW SPEEDS. RPMS REV UP PAST 5 WHICH REQUIRES ME TO RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR FOR VEHICLE TO SHIFT. AS OF JAN 3 2019. AIR BAGS WERE FIXED DURING RECALL. IN 2016. HOWEVER LIGHTS CAME ON IMMEDIATELY AND NEVER WENT OFF. DEALER CONTINUES TO WANT ME TO PAY FOR REPAIRS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA WITH A FAILED CVT TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE HAPPENED SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, DOING AND AVERAGE SPED OF 65 MPH. DURING ACCELERATION, THE CAR WILL LURCH AND JUMP FORWARD LIKE IT'S LOSING POWER THAN GAINING IT BACK, IT SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD AND WILL NOT GAIN SPEED UNLESS GOING DOWNHILL. WHILE PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR THE RPMS WILL BOUNCE BETWEEN 2K AND 6K RAPIDLY. THROUGH DOING RESEARCH I FOUND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE, THERE ARE SENTRA OWNERS WHO'S CAR HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING THE FRONT END COLLISION LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. THIS IS SCARY AS THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. IT WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING OR IN PARK. IT COMES ON A LOT. THIS IS A ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THIS FAULTY SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

TRANSMISSION - ACCELERATION WILL SUDDENLY CEASE / RPM'S WILL BE STUCK AT 2500 BUT CAR IS ONLY GOING 30 MPH. VERY UNSAFE WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND CAR CANNOT GET UP TO SPEED NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PUSH ACCELERATOR. VERY CONCERNED NISSAN IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS PREVALENT ISSUE WITH 2013 SENTRA'S. MY KIDS DRIVE THIS CAR!

POWER TRAIN
UNABLE TO DRIVE CAR BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION GEAR CONTROL WAS LOCKED IN THE P POSITION. THE RELEASE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PLACE THE CAR INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. HAD TO HAVE A NEW GEAR CONTROL ASSEMBLY ORDERED AND REPLACE THE EXISTING ONE. THE CAR WAS ONLY 117,000 MILES ON IT. THE COST FOR PARTS AND LABOR WERE $992 DOLLARS.

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA SV. LAST WEEK AT JUST OVER 100K MILES MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON MY CAR. I HAVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND MY CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. NISSAN CLAIMS THE TRANSMISSION IAN OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT I WAS GOING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED. THERE IS SO MUCH JERKING AND TUGGING. IT IS A SAFETY RISK AND NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT ON THE CVT IN THESE CARS. THEY NOW WANT ALMOST $4000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION TO BE PUT IN WHICH WILL MOST LIKELY STILL BE DEFECTIVE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY 2018 NISSAN SENTRA WITH 5 MILES (BASICALLY BRAND NEW) THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 10,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE IS KEPT MAINTAINED. A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE NISSAN SENTRA I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY BACK UP CAMERA SCREEN IN WHICH IT BEGAN BLACKING OUT AND FLICKERING IN AND OFF. SINCE IT HAD BEEN RAINING IN MY TOWN I ASSUMED THERE WAS SOME SORT OF SHORT OR WATER MUST OF LEAKED INTO THE WIRING SYSTEM L, I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY TYPE OF ISSUE WITH THE CAR SO I LEFT IT AT THAT I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT GAIN HOWEVER IT HASN'T RAINED EITHER SO I'M JUST WAITING TO SEE. AFTER THAT OCCURRED I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FRONT RADAR CRASH SENSOR. I GET A WARNING ⚠️ SIGNAL ON MY DASH CONSTANTLY READING THAT I HAVE A FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION WHICH THERE IS NOTHING BLOCKING THE SENSOR. SHORTLY AFTER THAT MY AC BEGAN BLOWING UP STREAMLINED HOT AIR AND WENT OUT ONE DAY. I'VE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN FIND TO FIX THE ISSUES. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR ABOUT 10,000 MILES AND THESE ISSUES HAVE RAISED CONCERN. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND STILL THESE ISSUES CANNOT BE FIXED

SERVICE BRAKES
TAMARA RECALL: MY CAR HAS THE PUSH BUTTON START AND I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED IT WITH 50,000 MILES ON IT. IT USED TO ONLY HAPPEN EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND AS OF YESTERDAY IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I TRY TO TURN ON MY CAR. I PUSH THE BRAKE AND PUSH THE BUTTON AND EVERYTHING WILL LIGHT UP BUT THE CAR WON'T TURN ON. THEN THE PUSH BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND PUSH START BUTTON COMES ON AND I TRY IT AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE BRAKE IS REALLY HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO PUSH IT IN FAR ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY START IT. AFTER CONTINUOUSLY PUSHING THE BRAKE AND THIS BUTTON AND DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND JIGGLING THE BRAKE FOR LIKE 10 MINUTES I MIGHT FINALLY GET IT TO COME ON IF I'M LUCKY. I'VE SEEN ONLINE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE BUT NOTHING TELLS ME HOW I CAN GO ABOUT FIXING IT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR WILL STOP RESPONDING TO THE GAS PEDAL AND LOSE POWER. YOU WILL EITHER HAVE TO PULL OVER OR MAINTAIN A MUCH SLOWER SPEED. THIS BECOMES A HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING ON A PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL STREET, MY 2017 SENTRA ACCELERATED FROM 20 TO OVER 100 MPH IN SECONDS. BRAKES NOR EMERGENCY BRAKE WORKED. CAR SPUN OUT AND CAME TO A VIOLENT STOP BEFORE CAREENING INTO A TOWNHOUSE COMMUNITY. WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE PROBLEM. *DT CONSUMER STATED THE CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED. SOMETHING WITH THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE CAR TO LOSE CONTROL. THEY REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION AND IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE FINE NOW. YOU HAVE MY APPROVAL TO SPEAK WITH NISSAN REGARDING MY CAR. UNFORTUNATELY I AM BEING FORCED TO PICK IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP TODAY ALTHOUGH I TOLD THEM I DON'T WANT THE CAR ANYMORE. NISSAN CORPORATION WILL NOT BUY IT BACK BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THE FIX IS GOOD. I DID NOT TAKE ANY PICTURES OF THE CAR AS THERE WAS NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE EXTERIOR. I HAD TO VISIT URGENT CARE THE DAY OF THE INCIDENCE. I WAS IN SHOCK AFTER WHAT TOOK PLACE ' TERRIBLE HEADACHE, SORE BODY, NAUSEA. I AM CURRENTLY SEEING A PSYCHOLOGIST/PSYCHIATRIST FOR PTSD FROM THE INCIDENT. THAT'S THE REASON I DON'T WANT THE CAR BACK. I FEEL LIKE I WILL HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN IF I HAVE TO DRIVE IT. IF I MUST TAKE IT HOME TODAY I WILL HAVE IT TOWED TO MY RESIDENCE UNTIL I CAN MAKE ALTERNATIVE PLANS. *JB *TR *DT CONSUMER STATED CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY 2015 NISSAN SENTRA WITH A CRACKED, LEAKING SENDING UNIT AT CONNECTOR, PLASTIC MOLD. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE 2015 SENTRA, BUT THERE IS FOR THE 2015 ALTIMA AND 2015 MAXIMA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM--A LEAK FROM THE SENDING UNIT. I FILED A CASE WITH NISSAN CORPORATION ON EITHER JULY 29 OR JULY 30, 2019 BUT AS OF TODAY, AUGUST 20TH, I CANNOT GET THEM TO CALL ME A WORK SO I MAY DISCUSS THE PROBLEM. THE LATEST RUNAROUND WAS A VOICEMAIL LEFT ON MY HOME PHONE TO CALL THEIR ARBITRATION AT 615-725-7670 BUT IT GOES TO A RING/NO/ANSWER. SO I CALL THE MAIN 800-647-7261 ON AN ENDLESS LOOP, NEVER BEING GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS MY CASE WITH ANYONE. THE MAIN CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ANSWERED BY RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL PEOPLE.
