ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
1. SHAKING WHEN CAR WAS TURNED ON. LOSING POWER WHILST DRIVING. LOSING COOLANT. 2. HEAD GASKET WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE LEAKING. OCCURRED CONSTANTLY WHEN CAR TURNED ON, LOST POWER AS DRIVING, IDLED ROUGH, FAILED TO POINT COULD NO LONGER DRIVE AS COULD NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT SHAKING OR FEELING LIKE IT WOULD STALL. ODD PART IS IT SEEMED TO BE BETTER ON COOLER MORNINGS. 3. READ CODES FOR MISFIRE CYLINDER 4, AND RANDOM MISFIRE. ALSO RUNNING A LITTLE ELEVATED TEMPERATURE. WE CHANGED SPARK PLUGS, COILS, AND STILL HAD THE PROBLEM. SEARCHED ONLINE TO FIND THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR ALL HAD SAME CODES. THE SOLUTION ON MULTIPLE MESSAGE BOARDS THAT 2005 NISSAN SENTRA ALL HAD PROBLEMS WITH HEAD GASKET BLOWING. WHEN ASKED MECHANIC TO CHECK, HE FOUND CYLINDER 4 BE VERY CLEAN WHICH HE BELIEVED WAS DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING IN. HE USED A SEALANT PRODUCT THROUGH THE SYSTEM THAT FILLED IN LEAKS. HE SAID THE HEAD GASKET DESIGN WAS DIFFERENT. THEY WERE BOLTS THAT SEEMED TO STRETCH AS THEY TIGHTEN WHICH WOULD OBVIOUSLY CRACK OR BREAK AFTER GENERAL USE. HE SAID THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM IF ANY FRAGMENTS WERE TO BE LOSE IN THE SYSTEM COULD DAMAGE OTHER PARTS SUCH AS A WATER PUMP. WE ARE WATCHING THE WATER LEVELS. WE HAVE PARKED THE CAR BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW IF OR WHEN THE CAR WILL REPEAT THE ISSUE. THE COST IS ABOUT 2,000 DOLLARS TO FIX THE HEAD GASKET. WHO KNOWS WHAT OTHER DAMAGE HAS BEEN CAUSED TO OTHER PARTS AS WELL. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SYSTEM - CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS; THE GAS PEDAL AND THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL UNDER THE HOOD. VEHICLE WILL RUN NORMALLY AND WHEN THE TPS FAILS, IT WILL DROP ENGINE RPM TO LESS THAN 1000 RPM NO MATTER THE POSITION OF THE GAS PEDAL. MOST OFTEN OCCURS RIGHT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND IN SHIFT PATTERN BETWEEN GEARS, HOWEVER, IT CAN HAPPEN AT INTERSECTIONS OR AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY THUS CAUSING AN UNSAFE SITUATION. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE IS TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THUS RESETTING THE SENSOR. DEPENDING ON THE FAILURE LEVEL OF EITHER PART OF THE SENSOR, DEPENDS ON HOW OFTEN THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED ABOVE OCCURS. I HAVE HAD BOTH PARTS OF THE TPS REPLACED AND THERE IS STILL AN ISSUE WHERE THE ENGINE SPUTTERS AT HIGH RPM EVEN WITH NO SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CURRENTLY ON AT THIS TIME. THE ENGINE SPUTTERING I FEEL IS RELATED TO THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SYSTEM PROBLEM. EITHER WAY, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT OCCURS IN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC, INTERSECTIONS OR AT SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I BOUGHT ME A 2005 NISSAN SENTRA 1.8 ON JANUARY OF 2010. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY GET GREAT GAS MILEAGE AND ARE A VERY RELIABLE CAR TO HAVE. I HAVE LEARNED FAST THIS WAS NOT SO. MY CAR IS NOW NOT WANTING TO START, IT IS SHIFTING VERY HARD AND SOMETIMES WONT SHIFT AND I CAN SMELL SOMETHING BURNING ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING UP A HILL, MY KEYPAD WILL NOT WORK TO LOCK OR UNLOCK MY CAR BUT WILL OPEN THE TRUNK, THE LOCK-UNLOCK BUTTON INSIDE THE CAR WILL NOT WORK, AND NONE OF MY WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN. THIS IS BS. I HAVE TOLD AND WILL PROCEED TO TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO NOT BUY A NISSAN. THIS HAS MADE ME NOT WANT TO TRUST ANY OF YOUR VEHICLES AGAIN AND I WILL PROBABLY GO TO A DIFF. DEALER AND GET SOMETHING WELL WORTH MY MONEY. I AM NOT PAYING 8,000 DOLLARS ON A CAR THAT JUST KEEPS TEARING UP, ESPECIALLY WHEN PARTS ARE WAY TO EXPENSIVE! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN SENTA. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE IN DRIVE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. I HAVE REPLACED THE PART TWICE AND MY CAR STILL CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WITH NISSAN AND NISSAN IS TELLING MY THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. NISSAN WANTS ME TO PAY FOR A DIAGONISTIC FROM A NISSAN DEALARSHIP AND IF THEY PROVE THAT IT IS DEFEACTED THEN THEY WILL REPLACE IT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE THE CRANK SENSOR REPLACED ON MY 2005 NISSAN SENTRA 1.8L ENGINE. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2005 SENTRA 2.5 L ENGINE, BUT NOT THE 1.8L ENGINES. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IN THIS CASE, BECAUSE MY CAR SHUT DOWN MANY TIMES ON THE HIGH WAY WITH NO WARNING. THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED OUT AND STOPPED WORKING, AND IT'S A REAL DANGER TO THOSE ON THE ROAD. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON AND I NOTICED I WAS HAVING TO PUT COOLANT AND/OR WATER IN THE RADIATOR EVERY FEW DAYS. I WAS ONLINE AND READ A FORUM WITH ABOUT 25-30 OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES I WAS HAVING AND THEY ALL TURNED OUT TO BE THE HEAD GASKETS. PEOPLE HAVE SAID THEY FILED COMPLAINTS WITH NISSAN BUT NOTHING WAS DONE. ALL THE VEHICLES HAD MILEAGE OF 60,000-80,000 AND THAT IS NOT NEARLY ENOUGH MILEAGE FOR US TO BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I JUST DON'T THINK ITS A COINCIDENCE THAT WE ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME PART. I CHANGED OUT THE THERMOSTAT, WATER PUMP, AND HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED AND AM STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM SO I'VE DETERMINED IT HAS TO BE THE HEAD GASKET, LIKE THE MANY OTHERS. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE HEAD GASKET YET AS I'M STILL SAVING MONEY FOR IT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). MY CAR (2005 NISSAN SENTRA 1.8L ENGINE) BEGAN OVERHEATING TERRIBLY IN FEBRUARY OF 2010. I BROUGHT IT INTO A MECHANIC, WHO HAD TROUBLE DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. WHEN I BROUGHT IT INTO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY ADVISED THAT IT WAS A BROKEN HEADGASKET. I FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE WEBSITE HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/SENTRA/2005/ENGINE/BLOWN_HEAD_GASKET.SHTML. I DECIDED TO SEND THOSE INTO NISSAN AND ASKED THEM TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE AND DO A RECALL. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM- ESPECIALLY SINCE IT SEEMS LIKE THE PROBLEM HAPPENED OVERNIGHT. HAD I NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO THE SIGNALS ON MY CAR, I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN THAT MY CAR WAS OVERHEATING SO BADLY AND IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE. I ENDED UP PAYING $911.00 TO FIX THE CAR. I SENT A LETTER INTO NISSAN AND WAS CONSIDERED FOR REIMBURSEMENT BUT THEY ULTIMATELY DENIED MY CLAIM. I REALLY FEEL THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE IN THIS CASE. I'VE INVESTIGATED THIS SITUATION AND FOUND THAT IT'S QUITE COMMON FOR THE HEADGASKETS ON THIS CAR TO FAIL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS FOR ME. [XXX] *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN SENTRA (VIN #[XXX] ) THAT HAS BLOWN A HEAD GASKET AT 65,000 MILES. ON MARCH 15 I NOTICED MY CAR HAD TROUBLE STARTING, ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT CATCH. IT DID START, HOWEVER, SO I DROVE HOME, CALLED A MECH AND SCHEDULED AN APPT FOR THE 17TH. ON THE 16TH MY CAR WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE MECH. THIS MECH RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND DISCOVERED A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. ASKED ME WHAT OTHER SYMPTOMS I HAD BEEN HAVING..THERE WERE NONE. I THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ANOTHER MECHANIC -- FOR A SECOND OPINION -- SINCE MY 1ST MECHANIC WAS SURPRISED AND A BIT SHOCKED THAT THE HEAD GASKET WOULD GO BAD THIS EARLY IN THE LIFE OF MY CAR. THE 2ND MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE SAMETHING AND WAS ALSO SHOCKED IT WAS THE HEAD GASKET SINCE HEAD GASKETS NORMALLY LAST WELL OVER 100,000 MILES. I CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD A) THAT THE HEAD GASKET IS ONLY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY UP TO 60,000 MILES AND B) THAT HAD I TAKEN BETTER CARE OF MY CAR, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I DO TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR.. I'M ACTUALLY A BIT ANAL ABOUT GETTING THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGES AND HAVE THE RECORDS TO PROVE IT. TOLD HIM THIS AND ESSENTIALLY HE BLEW ME OFF. INTERESTINGLY, HE WAS THE ONLY ONE NOT SURPRISED THAT THE HEAD GASKET HAD BLOWN. IN MY RESEARCH SINCE THEN, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE #1 COMPLAINT FOR THE 2005 NISSAN SENTRA IS A BLOWN HEAD GASKET BETWEEN 65,000 AND 75,000 MILES. IT WOULD APPEAR TO ME THAT NISSAN KNEW THEY USED A DEFECTIVE PART BUT 'COVERED THEMSELVES' BY ONLY COVERING IT UP TO 60,000 MILES. THEY ADMITTED THAT THEIR OTHER 'MODELS' DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM (THOUGH I DID NOT GET THIS IN WRITING) AND ACTUALLY TRIED TO SELL ME ANOTHER NISSAN. WHILE THIS WAS NOT DANGEROUS TO ME, AS IT HAPPENED IN THE SAFETY OF MY GARAGE, HAD IT HAPPENED ON THE ROAD IT COULD HAVE HAD A MUCH DIFFERENT OUTCOME. I'M OUT LOTS OF MONEY (APPROX $1,200) AND AFTER A WEEK STILL DO NOT HAVE A RUNNING CAR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY CAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS TANK AND FUEL PUMP LINE. I JUST RECENTLY PAID A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN JANUARY OF 2010 TO GET A NEW GAS TANK PUT IN THE CAR BECAUSE THE GAS TANK WOULD REJECT GAS WHEN I WOULD PUMP GAS CAUSING GAS TO OVER FLOOD ONTO THE GROUND WHICH IS DANGEROUS. I WENT TO A NON NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP GOING PLACES TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON IN MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO NISSAN DEALERS IN INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I NEED THE CAR FIXED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT WILL NOT TURN ME AWAY. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2005 AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT, I HAD TO GET THE FUEL PUMP LINE FIXED. I REALLY NEED SOME HELP AND GUIDANCE. TIMES ARE TOO TOUGH TO BE REPEATEDLY TURNED AWAY. I AM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING VITAL MIGHT HAPPEN IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO BE IGNORED BECAUSE GAS ISSUES CAN BE DANGEROUS. I HAVE FOUND RECALLS ON MY MAKE AND MODEL AND I NEED SOMEONE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE RECALLS. I WAS TOLD IN THE PAST YEARS THAT MY NISSAN DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS AND I WAS GIVEN FALSE INFORMATION. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
SUDDENLY COULD NOT FILL GAS TANK, DUE TO THE FUEL BACKING UP INTO THE HOSE. CAUSING THE GAS HOSE TO CLICK OFF, AS IF THE TANK WAS FULL. RESEARCHED PROBLEM ON INTERNET, FOUND RECALL FOR 2005 NISSAN SENTRA VEHICLES WHICH WAS IN REGARDS TO THE FUEL SYSTEM-HARD START/LONG CRANK TIME. CALLED NISSAN NORTHAMERICA AND WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL??? TOLD TO TAKE VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC REPORT. PAID 100.00 FOR THIS DEALER TO TELL ME THE PROBLEM WAS THE E-VAC CANISTER AND NOT THE RECALL PART. SHOWED DEALER THE DETAILS OF THE RECALL WHICH INCLUDED THE E-VAC CANISTER BEING REPLACED THEN THE FUEL TANK. DEALER SAID IT DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE SPECTS OF THE RECALL, SO THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. I MENTIONED THAT IT WAS THE FIST STEP OF THE OVER ALL REPAIR OF THE RECALL. WAS TOLD THAT DOES NOT MATTER. I HAVE IN FRONT OF ME A REPORT THAT STATES ALL 2005 VIN NUMBERS ARE PART OF THIS RECALL. YET I CANNOT GET NISSAN TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM. I AM AGAIN TOLD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, (BECAUSE OVER 30 DAYS HAVE GONE BY SINCE THE LAST TIME I HAD IT DIAGNOSED BY A NISSAN DEALER) AND HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AGAIN (PAY 100.00) SO THAT I CAN AGAIN BE TOLD THAT THE E-VAP CANISTER IS DEFECTIVE, ONLY THEN WILL THE REPRESENTATIVE AT THE NISSAN NORTHAMERICA CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT REFER THE COMPLAINT TO AND ELEVATED LEVEL TO HAVE A MORE TECHNICAL CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDIVIDUAL LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. (OH AND I CAN REQUEST MY 100.00 BACK. BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN I WILL GET IT BACK!!) SO THE VEHICLE REMAINS DEFECTIVE. GUESS IT IS TIME TO CONTACT THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE ABOUT NISSAN'S KNOWING NEGLIGENCE FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERY PERSON THAT MIGHT BE NEAR THIS VEHICLE IF IT EXPLODES WHILE I AM TRYING TO FILL THE GAS TANK! *TR
