ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ABOUT HALF-WAY THROUGH A HIGHWAY ROAD TRIP FROM DALLAS TO HOUSTON, MY VEHICLE BEGAN AUTOMATICALLY DECELERATING FROM 85MPH TO 70MPH ALTHOUGH MY FOOT PRESSED HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR. I ACTIVATED CRUISE CONTROL AT 70MPH, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO DECELERATE ALTHOUGH CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVATED AND DISPLAYED BENEATH THE SPEEDOMETER. WHEN THE CAR'S SPEED DROPPED FROM 70MPH TO 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, I TOOK THE NEAREST EXIT IN CENTERVILLE, TEXAS AND STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION TO TURN MY CAR OFF THEN ON AGAIN. THE CAR CONTINUED TO DECELERATE, REACHING ONLY 45MPH AS I ENTERED THE BUSY HIGHWAY YET AGAIN. AFTER 15 MINUTES, THE CAR BEGAN ACCELERATING TO 60MPH. AFTER STRUGGLING WITH THE CAR'S SPEED FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, EVERYTHING RETURNED TO NORMAL AND THE CAR BEGAN ACCELERATING TO 85MPH ONCE AGAIN.

POWER TRAIN
THE GEAR ON MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO "PARK" WHEN I PARKED IN A PARKING SPOT AFTER DRIVING AROUND THE CITY FOR 20 MINUTES. I SHIFTED THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL THEN TRIED AGAIN BUT IT STILL WOULDN'T WORK. AFTER STRUGGLING FOR 7 MINUTES, I REVERSED OUT OF THE SPOT THEN DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE PARKING LOT AND ATTEMPTED TO PARK THE CAR AGAIN BUT THE GEAR STILL WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO PARK. AFTER STRUGGLING AND GROWING CONCERNED AND FRUSTRATED 5 MINUTES LATER, I REPEATED THE PROCESS BUT THE CAR STILL WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO PARK. TEN MINUTES LATER THE GEAR FINALLY SHIFTED INTO PARK WHEN I PARKED THE CAR AGAIN. THE KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION OF A 2012 NISSAN SENTRA UNLESS THE CAR IS IN "PARK" AND TURNED OFF.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE GONE THROUGH 5 BATTERIES IN 6 YEARS ONE BLEW UP UNDER MY HOOD. I CHANGED THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE ASSEMBLY AFTER THAT HAPPENED. IT HASN'T HELPED IN KEEPING BATTERIES FOR MORE THAN A YEAR IN THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD THE SYSTEM CHECKED EVERYTHING COMES BACK NORMAL. I CAN CHARGE ANYTHING IN MY CAR WHILE THE CAR IS OFF AND NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. I WOULD THINK THAT THERE WOULD BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT. MY DOORS LOCK/UNLOCK INCONSTANTLY WHEN USING MY FOB TO PERFORM EITHER FUNCTION. I HAVE TO DO IT MANUALLY. THE GAS TUBE HAS PULLED AWAY AND IS UNSTABLE. MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. IT HAPPENED IN A SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT, ON AN ON RAMP TO GET ON A FREEWAY, IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET. AAA KNOWS ME WELL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT IT BEFORE ON ANOTHER WEBSITE, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN THIS WEBSITE.

ENGINE
VEHICLE CONSUMES AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF OIL CREATING A HAZARD FOR BOTH VEHICLE OWNER OF POSSIBLE FIRE AND FOR SURROUNDING DRIVERS DUE TO THICK SMOKE CREATED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF AND HAS A RECALL CAMPAIGN AVAILABLE IF YOU STILL ARE WITHIN WARRANTEE PERIOD, BUT NOT IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE THAT PERIOD EVEN THOUGH IT'S NO LESS A SAFETY ISSUE.

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A POSTCARD FROM NISSAN ABOUT THE RECALL. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO BE FIXED BUT DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED PARTS FROM NISSAN AND WILL NOT RECEIVE UNTIL AUGUST. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET DUE TO A ROAD TRIP I HAVE TO DO SOON WITH MY SON. I BELIEVE THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND PLACING MY PASSENGER AT RISK DUE TO THE NEGLECT ON NISSAN'S PART. I HOPE THIS IS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD EXTEND A RENTAL TO THOSE WHO ARE TRAVELING FREE OF CHARGE UNTIL THEY RECTIFY THIS ISSUE.

ENGINE
THIS SPECIFIC 2006 NISSAN SENTRA SE-R SPEC-V AS WELL AS THE 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA BOTH USE THE SAME QR25DE ENGINES WITCH THESE ENGINES ARE HIGHLY PRONE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AT RAPID RATES. MY VEHICLE HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE IT COMSUMES A QT OF OIL EVERY 150 MILES OR SO. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN LEAD TO ENGINE FIRES BECAUSE OF A FAILURE TO COOL THE ENGINE WHILE IT IS ON. THIS CAN ALSO PRODUCE A SIGNIFICANTLY LARGE PLOOM OF GREY/BLUE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST BECAUSE OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL BEING BURNED. THIS LARGE CLOUD OF EXHAUST ALMOST ACTS AS A SMOKE SCREEN TO DRIVERS BEHIND ME SOMETIMES BLOCKING VISION BECAUSE IT CAN BE SO LARGE, AS WELL AS ITS TOXIC IMPACTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT. IN CONCLUSION A FIRE HAZARD COUPLED WITH A LARGE TOXIC CLOUD IS A GROUND TO HAVE ALL NISSAN VEHICLES WITH THE QR25DE ENGINES WITH THE PRODUCTION YEARS OF 2006 AND BELOW TO BE RECALLED AS IT CAN BE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. THE TOP PART OF THE PHOTO IS PROOF AS IT WAS WRITTEN UP BY A VADEN NISSAN DEALERSHIP MECHANIC.
