Recently I discovered that it's impossible for the home mechanic to check the transmission fluid level for the Nissan Sentra 2020 (and newer). No, I'm not talking about the removal of the transmission dipstick. What I am talking about is the fact that Nissan has removed the Overflow Tube that is found within the drain plug housing. The Overflow Tube existed for Sentras up until 2019. However, it was removed in 2020. Without the Overflow Tube it is impossible to verify that the transmission fluid level is correct. I contacted two local Nissan dealerships and they confirmed that the only way to check the transmission fluid level was to visit their service department. This is outrageous and unethical. When people are unable to maintain their transmissions properly, there will certainly be transmission breakdowns and accidents related to transmission problems. Nissan should be held accountable.

I got this vehicle pre owned by Carvana. My rear and head lights flicker off and on with any one touching them. My power inside the car like for the radio, heating and cooling will stop working for a few days and randomly come on when it wants. Then local Nissan broke my plastic undercarriage during my recall they didn’t complete and now it’s dragging across the ground.

Door locks stopped working. First the back two locks, then the driver lock and now none of my door locks lock or unlock on their own. I have read around and many people have this issue. I fear my car will be broken into because the locks won't work. This is unsafe and inconvenient. Please help us this is a widespread issue.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
On a few occasions, while driving, the forward collision warning came on causing the car to automatically brake when there were no cars in front of or around the car. Brought the car to dealer and was quoted $2057.50. After that, all 4 automatic door locks stopped working. Brought car to dealer again and was quoted $1375.00 to replace the door actuators for a grand total of $3658.78. Nissan consumer affairs was called and they said they would only cover 50% of the repairs. These items are huge safety issues and Nissan should cover the entire bill.

I was driving home on 10/23/23 when I lost control of the car, I tried my best to pull over and stayed on the side of the road. I came outside of the vehicle and saw that my tire was not operating but the tire was not popped. I saw that there was a piece hanging and I then looked it up and saw that it was my passenger right tie rod that broke off. I got a tow to get out of the danger zone of the street and then called the dealer the next day. I was told that it would be covered under a recall, all I needed to do was get it towed. When I towed it over to the dealer, they told me that it was not covered under the recall and that i would have to pay out of pocket. I have an invoice or the tow and the PAID tie rod that i had to end up getting. Even though the recall would have covered it.
