BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE, IT INTEREMITTENTLY DETECTS THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PRESSED AND ALLOWS THE CAR TO START. SOMETIMES THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND SOMETIMES IT WOLL NOT ACTIVATE AT ALL. SOMETIMES THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. SOMETIMES IF I PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL THE LIGHT WILL GO OUT AND THE CAR WILL START. SOMETIMES IF I HAVE THE DOOR OPEN AND PRESS THE PEDAL THE CAR WILL START=, SOMETIMES THERE IS NO PROBLEM AT ALL

HE THEN INSPECTED MY CAR AND I WAS ON MY WAY AFTET WE DISCUSSED THE TIEROD ISSUE AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT I THEN RECORDED ON MY PHONE THE SHAKE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. I LATER FOUND OUT THE BLINKING LIGHT WAS THE AIRBAG LIGHT NOT THE SEAT BELT LIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AS WELL. THE CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE PASSED INSPECTION.

POWER TRAIN
BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW DEC 2015, TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 68K MILES, NISSAN REPLACED IT IN JAN 2018, AND NOW JUNE 2019 THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN ONLY 1.5 YEARS AFTER THEY REPLACED THE LAST TRANSMISSION. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS AND 7 MONTHS AND NEEDS IT'S 3RD TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION CAN GO OUT AT ANYTIME, IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED EVERY 1-2 YEARS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE RPM JUMPS UP AND DOWN, WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 60 MPH. IT'S VERY UNSAFE AND IT IS NOT RELIABLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AS I WAS DRIVING OR TURNING, CAR WOULD HESITATE, SPEED WOULD DROP EVEN THOUGH FOOT STILL ON ACCELERATOR. TURNS OUT HAD MOISTURE IN DRIVER'S BRAKE LIGHT WHICH CAUSED CAR SWITCH TO BRAKE THEREBY CAUSING JERKING HESITATION. DANGEROUS BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH CAR SLOWED DOWN, BRAKE LIGHTS NOT LIT, DANGEROUS TO DRIVERS BEHIND ME. LIGHT REPLACED DUE TO SEAL ALLOWING MOISTURE IN.

ENGINE
THE RPM IN MY NISSAN SENTRA 2013 STARTED TO FLUCTUATE WHILE DRIVING IT WASN'T DOING IT TOO MUCH AT FIRST BUT NOW IT DOES IT CONTINUOUSLY AND IT'S SO ANNOYING WHEN I'M DRIVING I TOOK IT TO MY NEAREST NISSAN LOCATION AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT I HAVE TO GET IT REPLACED WHICH SUCKS BECAUSE IT' JUST REACHED 100K MILES I HAVE ALWAYS HAD GREAT MAINTENANCE WITH IT I DON'T WANT TO PAY ALMOST 5K FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION WHEN THE MILEAGE ISN'T EVEN SUPER HIGH, I DID MY RESEARCH AND APPARENTLY THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE EXACT MODEL AND MAKE AND WITH NEWER NISSANS TOO WITH LOWER MILEAGE SO IT'S JUST NOT FAIR I LOVE MY NISSAN SENTRA BUT THIS IS JUST NOT FAIR I REALLY BELIEVE THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THESE CARS WITH HORRIBLE TRANSMISSION DEFECTS. PLEASE PLEASE NISSAN LOOK INTO THIS

CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 50MPH WITH FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN. RPM WAS BOUNCING AL OVER THE PLACE AND CAR WAS BEING VERY JERKY AT LOWER SPEEDS ON FREEWAY. AS SOON AS I REACHED ABOUT 40MPH THE RPM NEEDLE DID NOT MOVE AT ALL WHILE GETTING TO 50MPH. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN A YEAR THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAS HAD ISSUES.

CVT TRANSMISSION MY CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAD LESS THEN 75000 MILE AND MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE READ MANY MANY COMPLAINTS AGAIN NISSAN AND DUE TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE TAKEN MORE ACTION IN DOING A RECALL AND PAYING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. MY RPM ON THE CAR FLAIRS AT 40 MILE AND JERSEY I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FAULTY RADAR IN THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM IS CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION IN THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPEATEDLY TRIED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, TO NO AVAIL. THIS IS CAUSING THE CAR TO RANDOMLY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND/OR CAUSE THE AUTO EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SIMPLY NOT WORK.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I AM TERRIFIED. GOING UP A HILL MY CAR LOSES POWER AND I START COASTING AROUND 40MPH AND STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC THE HIGHEST I CAN GO IS 60MPH. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN INVOLVED IN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT AND OFTEN HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO SQUEEZES MYSELF INTO THE HE TRUCK LANE ALTHOUGH THEY STILL ARE ABLE TO OVER TAKE ME. MY CAR HAS 50,000 MILES AND IS WELL KEPT BUT IT STRUGGLES SO MUCH GOING UPHILL I CAN FEEL THE WHIRRING AND IT'S LIKE MY TRANSMISSION IS STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WHILE EVERYONE PASSES ME AND TRIES TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ME AS A RESULT OF MY SUDDEN DROP IN SPEED. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS AND I FEEL UNSAFE AND FEEL I AM A DANGER TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HEARD THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING MORE THAT CAN BE DONE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. YOU CAN EVEN BORROW MY CAR IF YOU'D LIKE TO TEST THIS OUT. I ALSO FEEL IT MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE OVERHEATING.
