VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
THE FLOORMAT OF MY 2002 NISSAN SENTRA SER SPEC V GOT CAUGHT UNDER MY GAS PEDAL CAUSING IT TO BECOME STUCK TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE KEY AND PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR MAT KEEPS TWISTING WHERE THIS WILL BE A RECURRING PROBLEM. THESE ARE THE FACTORY FLOOR MATS. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, WHICH THERE WAS, BUT THE MANUFACTURER STATES THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. I EXPLAINED THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IS THE REASON FOR THE RECALL, BUT THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE MATS WITHOUT CHARGING ME. I COMPLAINED DIRECTLY TO NISSAN THROUGH THEIR WEB SITE, AND OTHER THAN A CONFIRMATION NOTICE THEY HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND TO MY COMPLAINT. I'M SURE THAT THIS CONDITION WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS, BUT NISSAN DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT GETTING NEW FLOORMATS, MINE ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION, BUT ARE DANGEROUS. *NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
DEFECTIVE CRANK POSITION SENSOR, WHICH CAUSED ENGINE TO CEASE TWICE WHILE DRIVING. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER, WHO SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. MEANWHILE, WENT TO NISSAN WEBSITE AND FOUND THE EXACT CAUSE. I THEN CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WAS INFORMED MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I THEN CALLED DEALER'S SVC MGR, WHO SAID HE WASN'T SURE. I TOLD HIM I SPOKE WITH THEIR CONSUMER DEPT AND THEY CONFIRMED THE CAR HAD A RECALL PROBLEM. HE CALLED BACK 2 HRS LATER AND SAID MY CAR WAS FIXED. I ASKED ABOUT THE $65 TOWING REFUND. HE SAID TO CALL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. ALL OWNERS OF 2001 NISSAN SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE NOTIFIED OF THIS DANGER. *NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
I OWN A 2002 SENTRA SPEC V AND THIS IS MY SECOND ONE IN 10 MONTHS THAT HAS FAILED TO PERFORM AS IT SHOULD. THE CURRENT VEHICLE HAS HAD 1 NEW ENGINE, 1 EXHAUST MANIFOLD, 2 WINDOW REGULATORS, 2 NEW WINDOWS, THREE NEW DOOR SPEAKERS, TWO SHIFT KNOBS, 1 TIMING BELT TENSIONER, 1 THIRD BRAKE LIGHT, AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING IT'S THIRD ENGINE. CAR CONSUMES OIL AT A RAPID RATE OF 2 QUARTS PER 1200 MILES. TRIED AN INFORMAL RESOLUTION AND NISSAN REJECTED. DEALER AGREES THE CAR SHOULD BE BOUGHT BACK. SYMPTOMS THAT I HAVE, LEAD TO POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE AND IS BEING ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. I WAS SENT HOME IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS UNSAFE AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO FIX THIS LAST TIME AND WERE DENYING THE CAR HAD ANY PROBLEM. I FOUGHT A LONG HARD BATTLE JUST TO GET IT FIXED. *NLM
