AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING. MY GRANDMOTHER TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE RESET, SHE DROVE OFF AND A MILE LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER YET, BUT I SEE OTHER DRIVERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I GOOGLED HOW TO RESET IT, DID IT MYSELF, BUT AS SOON AS YOU START DRIVING IT COMES BACK ON.

ENGINE
I WAS SITTING A STOP LIGHT IN TRAFFIC AND MY CAR CUT OFF AND WOULD NOT CUT BACK ON. I WAS OBSTRUCTING TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT MOVE. HAD TO HAVE A STRANGER HELP ME PUSH THE CAR OFF THE ROAD IN BUSY HIGHWAY LUNCHTIME TRAFFIC TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. THEN HAD CAR TOWED TO MECHANIC. DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR THAT OVERHEATED AND CAUSED VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN. THIS SHOULD BE PART OF WARRANTY 07V527000. BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED, EVEN THOUGH IT FITS THE DESCRIPTION OF THE KNOWN ISSUE EXACTLY SO I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
I PURCHASED A CAR FROM WILSON MOTOR COMPANY AND WAS TOLD IT WAS ONLY USED AS A RENTAL BY THEIR CUSTOMERS WHILE THEIR CAR WAS IN THE SHOP. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE CAR AND THEY HAVE FOUGHT ME ON WARRANTIES TO COVER. WHEN I WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP THEY PULLED THE AUTOCHECK REPORT TO FIND THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN PURCHASED FROM AN AUCTION IN CA AND IS SHOWING A TITLE BRAND FOR FRAME OR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE RECORD AND A POSSIBLE ODOMETER ROLLBACK. THE TIRES ARE WEARING UNEVENLY AND ARE NOT SAFE AND I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE BRAKES OUT OF MY POCKET. I CAN'T TRADE THE CAR IN DUE TO THIS REPORT. I WAS LIED TO AND NOW I CAN'T GET WARRANTY SERVICE OR ABLE TO TRADE THE CAR IN FOR SOMETHING ELSE. I CANNOT GET THE GENERAL MANAGER TO RETURN MY MESSAGES.

STEERING
I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES AS DESCRIBED IN 'SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM OF THE 2014 NISSAN SENTRA 49', WHICH WAS REPORTEDLY SIMILAR TO INVESTIGATION "PE14-014". WHILE DRIVING A RENTAL VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY (LEFT LANE) AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT ACCELERATED AND IT WAS AS IF THE VEHICLE TOOK OVER THE STEERING - I COULD NOT KEEP THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT AND THE CAR STARTED MOVING BETWEEN LANES AND EVENTUALLY I HIT THE GUARDING RAIL BY THE RIGHT LANE AND STOPPED. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS VERY SCARY BUT I DID NOT HAVE A SCRATCH. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN BUT I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AS I WAS TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. I THANK MY LUCKY STARS THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN EITHER LANE DURING THE ACCIDENT OR I WOULD NOT BE WRITING THIS REPORT TODAY. I BELIEVE THE CAR ONLY HAD ABOUT 1500 KM. I CAN`T BELIEVE I SURVIVED.

'TAKATA RECALL' I BROUGHT MY CAR USED AT 34,000 MILES. A LITTLE AFTER I BROUGHT I TOOK IT TO NISSAN BECAUSE IT WAS STALLING AND WAS ACTING LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING ANY POWER., WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. THEY TOLD ME THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM SO WHEN MY CAR GOT TO 66,000 MILES AND A YEAR LATER IT IS WAS JUMPING, JERKING AND STALLING A LOT MORE. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN DRIVING IN TO WORK AND MY CAR WOULDN'T GO. SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING ANY POWER TO THE TRANS. I HAD TO GET OUT MY CAR AND HAVE SOME CO WORKERS HELP ME PUSH IT TO A PARKING STALL. WHEN I GOT OFF WORK I TRIED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AND IT WOULD ONLY GO INTO REVERSE. SO I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO MOSSY NISSAN . SO I HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN AGAIN. I FOUND OUT THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANS ON THE SENTRA ARE REALLY REALLY BAD. ALSO MY WARRANTY WAS UP.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS MY NISSAN SENTRA HAS STALLED ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND MY CAR IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED. I'VE NOTICED THAT THE RPM GAGE LOOKS SHAKY THEN THE CAR STALLS AS IF I'M GOING TO BREAK DOWN. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN TO ME CAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE DEATHS. I DRIVE WITH MY CHILDREN. ALSO I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.
