STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2015 SENTRA HAS A WIND NOISE THAT IS RELATED TO INTERSTATE SPEEDS AND HIGH CROSS WINDS. THE LEAST THE NOISE WILL DO IS SOUND OUT IN BEEPS AND BUZZES LOUDER THAN POLITE CONVERSATION. AT WORST IT CAN COME AS A FULL ON BLAST OF NOISE LIKE A TRUCK HORN OR SOMEONE SUDDENLY YELLING INTO YOUR RIGHT EAR WHILE YOUR CONCENTRATING ON THE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE EVER CHANGING SITUATION. NO DRIVER SHOULD HAVE TO PUT UP THIS LEVEL OF DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. MY WIFE HAS BEEN DRIVING THE WASHINGTON DC METRO AREA ROADS AND BELTWAY FOR OVER 40 YEARS. SHE HAS NEVER HAD AN AT FAULT ACCIDENT. SHE HAS NEVER GOTTEN A TICKET. THE DRIVING HERE IS A CHALLENGE DUE TO THE VERY HIGH SPEEDS THE TRAFFIC MOVES AT. MY WIFE WON'T DRIVE OVER 70 MPH. BASICALLY EVERY ONE IS BLOWING BY HER LIKE SHE'S SITTING STILL. HAVING A RANDOM LOUD BURST OF NOISE IN YOUR EAR IS UNNERVING. NISSAN STATES IT'S A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR!! MUST BE BECAUSE THE VERSA LOANER DID IT TOO. WITH THE FOCUS ON NOT HAVING DISTRACTED DRIVERS IT SEEMS ODD A MANUFACTURER WOULD PROMOTE THIS AS A FEATURE.

STEERING
I RENTED THIS VEHICLE FROM BUDGET RENTAL CARS AND WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 435 GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR. I HEARD AND FELT A "POP" AND MY POWER STEERING FAILED. I WAS WITHIN .1 MILES OF AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE WRESTLE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SAFELY STOP. I AM NOT SURE IF A WOMEN LIKE MY WIFE WOULD BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR IF SHE WERE THE DRIVER. AFTER I STOPPED AND TURNING THE CAR OFF, THE PS LIGHT (THAT LIGHT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT) TURNED OFF AND POWER STEERING RETURNED. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND AWAITING A RENTAL EXCHANGE. VERY UNSAFE SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

THIS CAR MAKES ALL KINDS OF NOISES LIKE IT'S GOING TO FALL APART, IT HESITATES WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT LIKE IF IT HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE NOISES ARE WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN FOR A STOP AND THEN GET READY TO TAKE OFF. IT'S LIKE IF IT'S AN OLD CAR CREAKING AND SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO FALL OFF.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
OUR SENTRA HAS A CVT. IT CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 7,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ON THREE (3) OCCASIONS, THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TO UPSHIFT AS WE MOVED AWAY FROM A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AT 30 MPH OR LESS, THE TACH IS AT 4,000 RPM. WE HAVE TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT THE TRANS SELECTION LEVER IN PARK AND THEN RESTART OUR JOURNEY. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHO TOLD US THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM......NO COMPUTER ERROR OR MALFUNCTION. WE CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND WERE TOLD THE SAME THING. THE TRANSMISSION OF THE COMPUTER CONTROLLING IT HAS A PROBLEM. DATES OF PROBLEMS: 3/20/2016; 5/20/2016; 5/25/2016

AIR BAGS
MY PASSENGER AIRBAG "ON/OFF" LIGHT ON THE CENTER CONSOLE LIGHTS (MEANING PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF) AT COMPLETELY RANDOM TIMES WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ANY SPEED AND CONDITION WITHOUT A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT OR OTHER TIMES WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. CONDITIONS INCLUDE GRAVEL ROADS, HIGHWAY, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, NORMAL CITY DRIVING, EVEN PARKING LOT DRIVING. I HAVE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS DOCUMENTED FOR BOTH SCENARIOS. MY WIFE IS VERY WORRIED WHEN SHE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY HER AIRBAG SAYS IT HAS TURNED OFF. I HAVE INCLUDED A CELL PHONE PICTURE OF THE PASSENGER SEAT EMPTY WITH THE LIGHT ON. I WAS DOING APPROXIMATELY 55MPH ON FLAT LEVEL DRY PAVED ROAD WHEN THE PHOTO WAS CAPTURED. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM BEING CAUSED BY FAULTY SEAT SENSORS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BASE. THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND STARTED APPROX. 2/15/16 WITH 3100 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO A DEALER ON 5/20/16

ENGINE
I AM DRIVING IN MY CAR (2005 NISSAN SENTRA 1.8S) ON CANAL POINTE BLVD, NEW JERSEY ON 03/27/2015 AND CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. LUCKILY I AM ON LOW SPEED AND ABLE TO PULL THE CAR TO THE RIGHT LANE. THEN TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR BUT NOT STARTED IMMEDIATELY BUT AFTER FEW MINUTES RESTARTED AND DROVE FOR FEW MILES THEN EXPERIENCED SLOWING DOWN. HENCE TOWED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP EAST WINDSOR, NJ. AFTER DIAGNOSIS SERVICE ADVISORS INFORMED ABOUT FAILED CRANK SENSOR AND NEED TO REPLACE. THEN I REMEMBERED THE SIMILAR ISSUE HAPPENED IN 2011. I WAS ON NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE DRIVING AROUND 65 MPH CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED AND LUCKILY AT THAT TIME AS WELL, I WAS DRIVING IN RIGHT MOST LANE ON TURNPIKE AND ABLE TO PULL THE CAR ON RIGHT SHOULDER. AFTER FEW MINUTES CAR STARTED AND THEN TOOK THE CAR TO FIRESTONE, LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ AND THEY FIXED THE CRANK SENSOR ISSUE. TODAY WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN TOLD RECALL WAS ONLY FOR 2005 NISSAN SENTRA THAT HAS 2.5 L ENGINE AND MY CAR NOT IN THE RECALL LIST. AGAIN THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT COST FOR REPLACEMENT AND ABOUT SAFETY. LUCKILY BOTH THE TIMES I WAS LUCKY NO OTHER CAR/TRUCK BEHIND MY CAR. WITHOUT ANY PRE-NOTICE, CAR SUDDENLY STALLS ON THE ROAD. I BELIEVE WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW THESE CARS ON ROADS UNLESS NISSAN RECALLS CRANK SENSORS OF THEIR CARS AND ENSURES CRANK SENSOR FAILURES NOT HAPPENS AGAIN. CARS SUDDENLY STALLS ON THE ROADS WITHOUT ANY PRE-NOTICE IS UNACCEPTABLE. FIRST TIME WHEN CRANK SENSOR FAILED, CAR HAS 95000 MILES AND THIS TIME CAR HAS 141000 MILES.PLEASE HELP ON THIS AND MAKE SURE NISSAN RECALLS THE CARS THAT HAS CRANK SENSOR FAILURES. NISSAN WILL HAVE DATA ABOUT MODELS THEY GET CRANK SENSOR FAILURES. ALL THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED. DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPS ON THE ROAD. PLEASE ASSIST CUSTOMERS LIKE ME NOT MEETING WITH ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF USING NISSAN CARS THOSE HAS CRANK SENSOR FAILURES.

EVEN THAT I PUSHED THE PEDAL AS FAR AS POSSIBLE THE CAR DID NOT SPEED UP. I PULL OVER ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN ON AGAIN CAR THEN THE CAR ACTED NORMALLY. I GOT HOME CALL THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR WHEN I GET THERE AND THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALER DO THE ANALYSIS TOLD ME NO CODES BEEN DETECTED BY THE COMPUTER AT THE SERVICE DEP. BUT HE KNOWS BECAUSE I HAVE ONE OF MY TAIL LIGHT CRACK THERE IS A SENSOR THAT SEND INFO TO THE COMPUTER AND THAT'S WHY MY CAR LOSE ALL THE POWER IN THE ACCELERATION.
