THE CAR STARTED MAKING A NOISE, TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE & THEY SAID IT WAS THE BELT TIGHTENER. THE CAR WAS HAVING A HARD TIME DRIVING UP HILLS ON THE WAY HOME AFTER GETTING THE PART. IT ACTUALLY STALLED OUT AT A RED LIGHT, MAKING IT VERY HARD TO BREAK. AFTER GETTING IT HOME & REPLACING THE PART THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. WE WERE GOING TO GO BACK TO AUTO ZONE TO SEE WHY & WHILE DRIVING ON THE WAY THERE A VALVE CAME SHOOTING THROUGH THE ENGINE. IT WAS QUITE ALARMING SOUNDED LIKE A SHOT GUN WENT OFF. WE PICKED UP THE BROKEN VALVE, PARTS OF IT LOOKED MELTED, & TOWED THE CAR HOME MAKING SURE NO CARS HIT US WE PUSHED THE CAR OFF THE RD. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT ON A HWY WITH MY 5 MONTH OLD & 11YR OLD.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN AND I STEPPED ON THE GAS, THE CAR MADE A NOISE AND JERKED. I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE FROM THERE. I COULDN'T EVEN SHIFT TO ANY OTHER GEAR. THE CAR WAS STUCK IN A NEUTRAL POSITION, SO I WAS ABLE TO PUSH IT OFF TO THE SIDE. AFTER GETTING A TOW TO THE NEAREST SHOP, THEY DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT NISSAN HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION. (CVT) AND THEY EVEN EXTENDED THE TRANS WARRANTY TO 120K. (I HAVE 144K ON THE CAR) I DID CONTACT NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WOULD MAKE A SMALL EXCEPTION. THEY TOLD ME TO HAVE A NISSAN DEALER CONFIRM THE CVT WAS BAD. I DID SO AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS BAD. AFTER I REPORTED BACK TO NISSAN THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HELP ME IN ANY WAY. THE COST TO GET IT REPLACED IS ABOUT $4200

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
NISSAN SENTRA ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) & POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL CABLE (PBTC) - VIN MISSING FROM INCLUSION IN MULTIPLE CAMPAIGN NUMBERS REPLACEMENT OF MY ECM COMPLETED IN DECEMBER OF 2016 BY WOODFIELD NISSAN IN HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL (INVOICE ATTACHED). NOW MY POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL CABLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (INVOICE NOT YET ISSUED AS CAR IS STILL IN THE POSSESSION OF THE SERVICE STATION OF M'LADY NISSAN IN CRYSTAL LAKE, IL). IN LINE WITH CAMPAIGN NUMBERS 10V555000 & 11V579000. MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH EITHER OF THESE CAMPAIGNS. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS IN REGARDS TO OVERSIGHT OF MY VEHICLE'S EXCLUSION AND POSSIBLY OTHER CONSUMERS AS WELL AS THE RECALL NOTES THERE POSSIBILITY FOR THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WHILE DRIVING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. MY VEHICLE HAD A NO START IN BOTH INSTANCES PROMPTING THE NEED FOR REPAIRS. ALSO, VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED POWER DRAINS/FLUCTUATION WHILE IDLING AND DRIVING (CAN BE CONFIRMED BY M'LADY NISSAN IN CRYSTAL LAKE, IL). DEALER SERVICE CENTER INDICATED NO ISSUE WITH THE STARTER OR ALTERNATOR AND COMPLETED A FULL START-UP CHECK. MILEAGE AT TIME OF ECM REPLACEMENT: 77,647 MILEAGE AT TIME OF PBTC REPLACEMENT: 79,801

MY PISTON ROD PENETRATED THROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK. MECHANIC AT EMPIRE LAKEWOOD NISSAN STATED MY DRAIN PLUG WAS TIGHT, AND THE OIL LEVEL IS IN THE SAFE ZONE ON DIPSTICK. MY CAR HAS AN NISSAN EXTENDED GOLD PREFERRED WARRANT UNTIL 3/22/2017, AND HAS DECLINED THE REPAIR OF MY CAR SINCE I DID NOT HAVE ALL OIL CHANGES DONE AT A DEALERSHIP. STATING THEY CAN NOT VERIFY THE QUALITY OF WORK ON A NON-NISSAN FACILITY. I HAVE EXACTLY 31,749 MILES ON THIS CAR. ITS A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA PURCHASED BRAND NEW. MY CAR STARTING SMOKING, I STOPPED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY, AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DELEARSHIP AFTER HOURS.
