AIR BAGS, ENGINE
I'VE BEEN GETTING CONTACTED ABOUT LEMON LAW CASES FOR MY CAR - MY SPECIFIC YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL BUT I CAN'T FIND OLD RECEIPTS THAT WOULD HELP ME WITH THE CASES. MY AIRBAG SIGN KEEPS GOING OFF AND THE ENGINE IS IN HORRIBLE SHAPE. I HAVE TO PUT IN A "THICKER" MOTOR FUEL TO KEEP IT FROM BURNING ALTHOUGH I DO MY OIL CHANGES REGULARLY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE IT STARTED HAPPENING SO I PUT 1/1/18 AS THE DATE BELOW.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY MY VEHICLE LOSES POWER RANDOMLY AND WHY THE CAR RANDOMLY SHIFTS GEARS AND REDUCES SPEED EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS. YET WHILE IT DOES THIS THE RPM NEEDLE SURGES BETWEEN 3000 TO 4500. VEHICLE HAS NO CODES AND DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS LOST POWER ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND YET IM JUST SUPPOSE TO BELIEVE THE CAR IS SAFE.I EVEN PUT IN A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY CODES.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FAULTY RADAR ON FRONT OF MY CAR CAUSED SPEED CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION WHILE IN MOTION. THIS OCCURRED SPORADICALLY SINCE NEW AND THEN CONSTANTLY FOR LAST 3 MONTHS. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR IN FOR TROUBLESHOOTING LAST WEEK AND THE RADAR UNIT ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS REPLACED. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT IT SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO SOMEONES ATTENTION BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY HAZARDS INVOLVED.

ENGINE
TAKATA RECALL WHEN I FIRST STEP IN THE CAR TO TAKE A TEST DROVE, IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS OK . IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM BUT WHEN I DROVE IT HOME , ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND IT TOOK ABOUT 60 SECOND FOR THE GEAR TO SWITCH. THE CAR SEEN AS THOUGHT IT WAS OVERHEATING WHEN I HAVEN'T EVEN DROVE IT LONG . I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID “ I WAS COVERED WITH WARRANTY “ AND THAT “I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PAYING ANYTHING.” HE GAVE ME A LOAN CAR AND HAVE BEEN EXTENDED IT FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS BECAUSE MY CAR STILL HAVEN'T BEEN FIX YET . I ALSO FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BY THE WARRANT BUSINESS BECAUSE THEY SAID THE CAR WASN'T IN GOOD CONDITION WHEN I BROUGHT IT. THEY DENIED THE REQUEST OF FIXING THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER REFUSES TO GIVE ME ANOTHER TEMP TAG AND TOLD ME TO LEAVE HIM PREMISES. I HAVE BEEN PAYING ON A CAR THAT I HAVE NOT HAD FOR TWO MONTHS AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN UNJUST SITUATION. I HOPE THAT THE OTHER CUSTOMERS AREN’T GETTING TREATED LIKE MYSELF .

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE ON DASHBOARD STARTED TO ACTING OUT; I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS LEAKING GAS, BUT I COULD NOT SMELL IT. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS ELECTRIC. I CALLED NISSAN OF HUNTINGTON TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND MAKING AN APPOINTMENT, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE (3:45PM), SO I HAD TO BRING MY CAR TO CENTERPORT AUTOMOTIVE. THEY SCANNED MY CAR'S COMPUTER SYSTEM AND: "CODE PO 463 FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT MALFUNCTION CODE". AS A RESULT, THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND SENDING UNIT ASSEMBLY IN FUEL TANK. MY CAR WAS 35472 MILES AT THE TIME THIS WORK WAS DONE. HAD TO PAY 681.37 DOLLARS + NYS SALE TAXES. I WOULD LOVE TO BE REIMBURSED SINCE A FUEL PUMP LASTS MORE THAN 125,000 MILES. THOUSANDS OF 2013 NISSAN SENTRA CARS HAVE A FUEL SYSTEM RECALL, BUT NOT THIS PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DASHBOARD LIGHT FLICKERED FOR AWHILE AND NOW DOES NOT LIGHT UP AT ALL. I AM UNABLE TO SEE THE GAS GAUGE, MILEAGE OR TEMPERATURE. THE DOORS NO LONGER UNLOCK WHEN I TURN OFF THE IGNITION NOR DOES THE BEEPER SOUND THAT MY HEADLIGHTS ARE STILL ON WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALER TWICE WITH THIS AND THEY WERE NOT BE ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THEY DID FIND A PAPER THAT DESCRIBED THIS SITUATION AS A PROBLEM ON THE 2011 NISSAN SENTRA.
