ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP AT A STOP SIGN, THE SENTRA WOULD NOT ACCELERATE HIGHER THAN ABOUT 10 MPH. I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND STILL NO ACCELERATION. AFTER A MINUTE OR SO, IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. OVER THE COURSE OF AN HOUR LONG DRIVE, THIS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES. ABS INDICATOR ALSO CAME ON WHEN PUSHING THE BRAKE. VDC AND SLIP LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR. IT WILL PERFORM NORMALLY FOR A DAY OR TWO. THEN START MALFUNCTIONED AT RANDOM. TWO ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE AT THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX IT ACCORDING TO DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH INDICATED THE "BRAKE SWITCH CODE". BRAKE SWITCH REPLACED AND VEHICLE PERFORMED NORMALLY FOR TWO DAYS THE PERFORMED WORSE THAN BEFORE PART WAS CHANGED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WE BOUGHT A NEW 2013 NISSAN SENTRA FOR OUR DAUGHTER. IT IS ABOUT 1 1/2 YEARS OLD WITH ABOUT 17,000 MILES ON IT. SHE WAS ON HER WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, AND HAD JUST ACCELERATED WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO STOP AGAIN. SHE SAID SHE TRIED TO STOP BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE. THEN SHE TRIED PUMPING THEM AND THEY LOCKED UP AND THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP. SO, SHE REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER AND BOTH OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR WITH HER AND THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE OFFICER AT THE SCENE DIDN'T THINK THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN HIS EXPERIENCE WORKING ACCIDENTS. THERE WAS HARDLY ANY VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CARS INVOLVED. MOST OF THE COST TO REPAIR IT WAS FROM THE AIRBAGS. I CONTACTED NISSAN BECAUSE I LEARNED THAT THE NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING THESE CARS FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS. I REQUESTED AN INSPECTION AND THEY SENT A "THIRD PARTY" INVESTIGATOR TO RETRIEVE THE DATA OFF THE EDR AND INSPECT THE CAR. OF COURSE, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THE DATA DID NOT SHOW ANY BRAKE FAILURE. ACCORDING TO NISSAN THEY FIND "NO BASIS TO OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER AT THIS TIME". I JUST WANT THEM TO ADMIT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG AND BUY BACK THIS CAR. WHAT PARENT IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD PUT THEIR CHILD BACK IN THAT CAR? BESIDES THAT, SHE'S SCARED AND REFUSES TO DRIVE IT. I DON'T THINK IT'S A COINCIDENCE THAT OTHER PEOPLE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S JUST A FEW, ARE DESCRIBING THE SAME THING THAT SHE DID. I GUESS THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED NISSAN AND WHEN I DROVE IT THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE CAR WOULD LEAK FLUID. I TOOK IT IN TO NISSAN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS LOW ON BRAKE FLUID AND NEEDED TO BE REFILLED. THEY REFILLED IT AND ASSURED ME IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THREE WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING BEGAN TO HAPPEN. I TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE BRAKE FLUID NEEDED TO BE REFILLED, WHICH DID NOT MAKE SENSE BECAUSE THE BRAKE FLUID SHOULD NEVER LEAK. AFTER DIAGNOSIS THEY FOUND OUT THAT MY ABS ACTUATOR WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS PART SHOULD NEVER BREAK, ESPECIALLY IN A CAR THAT IS SO NEW. FOR THREE MONTHS I WAS DRIVING AROUND A DANGEROUS CAR, AND MY BRAKES COULD HAVE GIVEN OUT AT ANY MOMENT. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND NISSAN HAS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THEIR BRAKES, AND THERE WERE SEVERAL NISSAN CUSTOMERS WHO SHARED THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I PREVIOUSLY FILED COMPLAINT, BUT WAS NOW TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT AFTER THE MANIFOLD WAS REPLACED, THAT THE TRANSMISSION ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MORE WAITING TIME, MORE UNANSWERED PHONE CALLS, MORE POOR SERVICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE SENTRA BROKE DOWN ON 12/20/14 AND I'LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO PICK UP MY CAR ON 1/24/15. NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10672846 SUMMARY: MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 15 AS WE LEFT SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. IN THE CAR WAS MY ADULT DAUGHTER AND MY TWO GRANDDAUGHTERS, AGES 1 1/2 AND 10 MONTHS. I WAS AHEAD OF HER IN OUR NISSAN PATHFINDER. SHE CALLED MY PHONE AND SAID THAT THE CAR RPM'S WERE FLUCTUATING AND THAT THE CAR WASN'T GOING TO MAKE IT HOME TO TWENTYNINE PALMS. WE PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY IN ESCONDIDO. I CHECKED THE SENTRA AND FOUND THAT IN IDLE AND PARK THAT THE ENGINE RAN FINE. WHEN I DROVE THE CAR, IT WAS LURCHING LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T SHIFTING CORRECTLY. AFTER CHECKING THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, I DROVE TO A WELL LITE PARKING LOT AND WHILE THE FAMILY ATE, I CALLED AAA AND HAD THE SENTRA TOWED TO MOSSY NISSAN OF ESCONDIDO. ON MONDAY THE 22ND, MY WIFE CALLED MOSSY NISSAN AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY CALLED HER BACK SAYING THAT IT WASN'T THE TRANSMISSION, THAT A SENSOR HAD BEEN TAKEN OFF OF THE MANIFOLD BY HER HUSBAND OR OUR MECHANIC. SHE ASSURED THEM THAT SINCE THE CAR WAS ONLY 13 MONTHS OLD AND UNDER WARRANTY, NO MECHANIC HAD WORKED ON THE CAR AND THAT I HAD ONLY DONE THE OIL CHANGES, BUT HAD NOT WORKED ON THE ENGINE. MOSSY NISSAN SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY SINCE THE SENSOR IN THE MANIFOLD WAS REMOVED. THEY REFERRED ME TO NISSAN USA, WHICH SAID THE SAME THING; THAT SINCE THE SENSOR WAS MISSING, THEY HAD NOTHING TO TURN IN FOR WARRANTY, SO THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE CAR WHEN IS IN A COMPLETE STOP, MAKES A LAUD SOUND. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO COME OUT OF GEAR. THE SHIFTER GET LOCK, IT GETS REALLY HARD TO CHANGE THE GEARS FROM (P TO D) IS HAS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIME MORE THAN 30 TIMES. I WENT TO PLANET NISSAN ON CENTENNIAL BLVD, LAS VEGAS NV, THE FIRST TIME LATE DECEMBER I SHOW THE WORKER. I SHOW HIM A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM, THE VIDEO YOU CAN HEAR AND SEE WHEN THE DRIVE HANDLE GETS STUCK OR LOCK. HE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR SHOULD NOT MAKE THAT SOUND, AND HE ORDER THE PART FOR IT (THE SHIFTER).HE SAID YES AND HE SCHEDULE A APPOINTMENT FOR 1/21/15 8:00. WHEN I PICK MY CAR UP,I WENT HOME AND PARK MY CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY IT MADE THE SOUND AGAIN, THEN I PARK THE CAR IN THE STREET, AND THEN MADE THE SOUND AGAIN AND THE DRIVE HANDLE GOT LOCK. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TEST DRIVE IT WITH THE WORKER AND HE SAID IT WAS NORMAL. THAT ALL CARS MAKE THAT SOUND WHEN THEY ARE PARK IN A HILL. I TOLD HIM MY DRIVEWAY IS NOT A HILL AND THE STREET WHERE I PARK MY CAR EVERYDAY IS NOT A HILL, WHERE I PARK AT WORK IS NOT A HILL, I WAS UNHAPPY AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE CAR FOR SERVICE BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE A VISIBLE PROBLEM OR THEY NEVER FOUND A PROBLEM WHEN THEY REPLACE THE SHIFTER AND VERIFIED THE FIX. MY SISTER HAS THE SAME CAR JUST 2014 ONE YEAR DIFFERENCE AND SHE PARKS HER CAR IN THE DRIVE WAY ALL THE TIME AND IS FINE. I FELL LIKE IS THE TRANSMISSION OR GEARS I DON'T KNOW. MY CAR IS IN THE WARRANTY I EVEN PAY EXTRA 1 YEAR WARRANTY. THIS PEOPLE JUST GIVE ME THE TURN AROUND AND THEY DON'T WANT TO CHECK MY CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, WHY? WHY? ARE THEY NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO? I KNOW THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME. MY CAR HAS ONLY 13752 MILES. PLEASE HELP WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

AIR BAGS
THE ISSUE BEGAN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD RANDOMLY GO OFF, WHILE THE PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. SHORTLY AFTER NOTICING THIS NISSAN PUT OUT A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE NOW TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES, AND ALTHOUGH THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BOTH TIMES, IT CONTINUES TO EXIST. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN CORPORATE AROUND A DOZEN TIMES. THEY HAVE NO SENSE OF URGENCY, AND EACH CONVERSATION HAS TO HAPPEN 48 HOURS APART, FOR SOME STRANGE REASON. I AM STILL WAITING FOR ANOTHER CALLBACK SO A SPECIALIST CAN NOW COME TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE. AN APPOINTMENT LIKE THIS TAKES A MORE THAN 4 WEEKS TO ARRANGE; AGAIN, NO URGENCY. EACH TIME THEY MAKE ME SCHEDULE SOMETHING, I HAVE TO TAKE A DAY OFF OF WORK, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT ACCOMMODATE EVENING SCHEDULES. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERN OVER THE DANGERS WITH THIS ISSUE, YET IT SEEMS AS THOUGH NISSAN DOES NOT CARE. QUITE FRANKLY, I AM NERVOUS TO HAVE PEOPLE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY VEHICLE. IT IS A BIT STRANGE TO HAVE MY WIFE SIT IN THE BACK SEAT, BUT THIS BEATS HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT DANGERS OF SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. *TR

THEY REFERRED ME TO NISSAN USA, WHICH SAID THE SAME THING; THAT SINCE THE SENSOR WAS MISSING, THEY HAD NOTHING TO TURN IN FOR WARRANTY, SO THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY. THE PRICE TO REPAIR THE CAR WAS OVER $700, AS THEY SAID I NEEDED A COMPLETE MANIFOLD WITH THE SENSOR ATTACHED. AFTER REPEATED CALLS, MOSSY NOW SAID THAT MY CAR WILL BE REPAIRED BY 1/17/15 AND THE PRICE WILL BE UNDER $500 BECAUSE I HAD TO WAIT FOR A PART FROM THE FACTORY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES, EVERY TIME I COME TO A STOP AND PRESS THE BRAKE AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR STARTS MOVING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL LOOSES PRESSURE AND I HAVE TO PUSH MY FOOT FURTHER THAN NORMAL, EVENTUALLY MY FOOT TOUCHES THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE AND I CAN'T PUSH THE BRAKE ANY FURTHER, SO I HAVE TO TAP THE GAS AND THEN RE-ENGAGE THE BRAKE AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE GOING DOWNHILL AND COME TO A STOP. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR NUMEROUS TIMES, THAT IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT THAT ITS BECOME AN INCONVENIENCE TO ACTUALLY OWN THE CAR, TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE NISSAN I PURCHASED (NISSAN OF BERGENFIELD IN NEW JERSEY) AND THEY HAVE SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR, THEY LOOKED AT THE BRAKES AND EVEN APPLIED MORE PRESSURE ON THE LINES BUT STILL THE ISSUE PERSISTS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A COMPANY THAT VALUES SAFETY WOULD ALLOW THEIR CLIENTS TO BE DRIVING VEHICLES WITH THIS FAULT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR IN ORDER FOR THEM TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS NOT SAFE BY ANY MEANS, SPECIALLY FOR MY FAMILY WHO I HAVE TO DRIVE AND PICK UP TO AND FROM WORK. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT HAVE YET TO COME TO A RESOLUTION. IF YOU CAN PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS MATTER. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR ANY INFORMATION YOU MAY NEED. *TR
