ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA HAS ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. AT VARIOUS TIMES EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR FULL PUSHED DOWN, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND WILL EVENTUALLY SLOW TO UNDER 20 MPH EVEN ON A FLAT SURFACE. NISSAN HAS REPAIRED THE ISSUE ONCE, BUT NOW WILL NOT RESPOND TO MY CORRESPONDENCE IN REGARDS TO THE ISSUE, NOW THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, I HAVE LESS THAN 45K ON THE CAR. IN ADDITION, THE TAILS LIGHTS ARE RETAINING MOISTURE, I HAVE READ THAT THIS MAY BE CAUSING A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND IT IS NOW PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS UNRESOLVED. MILEAGE AT THE FIRST INCIDENT IS APPROXIMATE, BUT IT DID HAPPEN LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR NEW.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
CAR WAS PURCHASED ON MARCH,2014, WE HAVE REPLACED THE ALL 4 TIRES ALREADY, BEARING AND STRUT NEEDED TO REPLACED, THE BATTERY DIED, WHICH WAS REPLACED ON TUESDAY APRIL 19TH, 2016, BY PEPBOYS, BECAUSE NISSAN DID NOT COVER IT. WE HAVE RADIO PROBLEM. SOMETIMES THE CAR DOES NOT PICK UP THE KEY AND DOES NOT START. SOMETIMES THE INDICATIONS ON THE DASH BOARD SUCH AS MILEAGE, GAS MILEAGE GOES BLANK . ALSO MY RADIO STOPS AND THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM DOES NOT START. RADIO HAS BEEN FIXED 2 TIMES ALREADY. THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS, BECAUSE EVEN WITH A NEW BATTERY THAT IS 2 DAYS OLD, THE CAR DOES NOT START SOMETIMES. ALSO COURTESY NISSAN IN RICHARDSON TEXAS REFUSED TO HELP US WITH ANY OF THIS, EVEN THOUGH WE BOUGHT EXTENDED 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. CAR HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT NOW. AT THE TIME THESE PROBLEMS STARTED IT HAS 36,000 MILES. I ALSO FOUND INFORMATION ONLINE, THAT IS THIS CAR IS RECALLED, HOWEVER WHEN I CALL NISSAN THEY SAID IT WAS NOT. I HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD AND IF THIS CAR IS UNSAFE, NISSAN SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.

AIR BAGS
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN A 135 POUND PERSON IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. NOTICED THE RECALL ON NHTSA AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO STREATER SMITH NISSAN IN CONROE TEXAS. THEY PERFORMED A ZERO POINT RESET AND SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT IS CLEARLY LISTED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. I HAVE REAL CONCERNS THAT NISSAN HAS NOT SEEN FIT TO ORDER AN ACTUAL RECALL ON THIS DEFECTIVE ISSUE. BECAUSE UNTIL THEY DO THEIR DEALERS WILL NOT FIX THE SITUATION. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. I DO NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE THE DATE BELOW IS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY GAS/ACCELERATION DECREASES WHILE DRIVING ON BUST HIGHWAYS. I WAS TOLD BY A SERVICE TECH A DOUGLAS NISSAN, WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW SEPTEMBER 2014, THAT THEY HAVE HAD 'SEVERAL' CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT WHAT THEY HAVE FOUND IT TO BE IS A FAULTY BACK TAIL LIGHT AND COMPUTER READING GLITCH, THAT THEY HAVE FOUND MOISTURE BUILD UP DUE TO CONDENSATION (WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON) IN A BACK TAIL LIGHT CAUSES THE CAR TO 'THINK' IT IS IN REVERSE THUS CAUSING THE 'SKID' ICON TO APPEAR ON THE PANEL AND WHICH IS CAUSING THE CAR TO DECELERATE, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON SEVREAL OCCASIONS NOW WHERE MY SPEED HAS DECREASED TO 60 ON A 75 MH INTERSTATE HW IN DALLAS AND DRIVING NORTH TO SOUTH ON 45 AND ALMOST EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS OF DRIVING THE HOUR IT TAKES ME TO GET TO WORK IN THE DARK (I NEED MY LIGHTS). I AM TOLD THAT 'I' AM THE ONE WHO HAS TO PAY FOR THIS (A LIGHT COSTING 210.00 EACH AND LABOR AT 55.00 PER HOUR BECAUSE I AM AT 46000 MILES) EVEN THOUGHT THIS CLEARLY SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT, UNTIL I CAN AFFORD THE NEW LIGHTS, TO TRY TURNING MY LIGHTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND NOT TO USE MY FOG LIGHTS'I DRIVE IN THE DARK EVERY DAY'I MUST USE MY LIGHTS! I PRAY THIS BECOMES RECALL BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR AND I PRAY MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE DOES NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS! THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 12 OCCASIONS NOW AND IT IS VERY SCARY!

AIR BAGS
THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES INDICATING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS DISABLED DURING TRAVEL INTERMITTENTLY BOTH WITH AND WITHOUT A PASSENGER PRESENT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS HAPPENED DURING ALL TYPES OF DRIVING AND SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN MAKING A RELATIVELY SHARP RIGHT HAND TURN. DEALER DID UPDATE FIRMWARE AND/OR RE-CALIBRATE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM UNDER WARRANTY BUT THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE ONE OR MORE AIR BAG COMPONENTS IS INTERMITTENTLY FAILING. THE DURATION OF THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYING ILLUMINATED HAS BEEN ANYWHERE FROM A FEW SECONDS TO 30+ MINUTES. FIRST TAKEN TO DEALER IN JULY 2015, HAVE CALLED AND/OR BEEN BACK IN SEVERAL TIME SINCE. THEY HAVE STATED THEY MUST BE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE/RESOLVE. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN AIR BAG SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY FAILING, NOT SOMETHING LESS CRITICAL LIKE A RADIO OR AIR CONDITIONER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2014 NISSAN SENTRA SL 4 DOOR SEDAN - FAULTY FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR IS SHOWING LESS FUEL THAT IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK I.E. THERE IS MORE FUEL IN THE TANK THAN WHAT THE GAUGE INDICATOR SHOWING - AND IT GETTING WORSE. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THAT RECOMMENDS TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. I TOOK IT IN SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL IT HAPPENING I.E. THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST/NOT CORRECTED. DEALER REPLACE FUEL PUMP BUT PROBLEM STILL EXIST/NOT CORRECTED - AND DEALERS GIVING VARIOUS EXCUSES. IT IS VERY AGONIZING EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, ETC. ETC. THINKING THAT THE VEHICLE WILL RUN OUT OF GAS AND LEFT ONE STRANDED. CANNOT TELL NOW IF THE DIGITAL OR MANUAL GAUGE READING IS CORRECT BECAUSE BOTH ARE DIFFERENT. PS. THIS GRADUALLY STARTED IN NOVEMBER 2014. I KEPT MONITORING IT AND IT GETTING WORSE, THEN I DECIDED TO CALL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND TOOK IT BACK FOR REPAIRS ON AUGUST 31, 2015 - THEN AGAIN, SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 - THE AGAIN NOVEMBER 6, 2015 . THIS IS THE REASON FOR ME TO STATE "THE HAPPEN DATE" AS AUGUST 31, 2015. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAUSES OVER FILLING AND SPILLING OF GAS THAT CAN CAUSE A FIRE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A MALFUNCTION OF THE NISSAN FUEL PUMP AND THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE NHTSA SPEEDILY INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY MATTER. AFTER NOVEMBER 6, 2015 - I CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGES FOR THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE THAT HANDLES MY CASE, BUT SHE NEVER CONTACTED ME BACK.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES ARE VERY WEAK FOR BEING A LIGHT WEIGHT VEHICLE. STOPPING POWER IS VERY UNDERWHELMING. COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP EVEN AFTER CRUISING SPEEDS MAKES ME FEEL ANXIOUS...MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 10,066 MILES ON THE ODOMETER BUT THE BRAKING POWER FEELS VERY UNDERWHELMING FOR A FAIRLY NEW LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE.
