ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
THE EXHAUST MUFFLER FLANGE FAILED. IT WAS SEVERELY RUSTED, WHILE THE EXHAUST PIPE AND MUFFLER WERE IN GREAT SHAPE. THE FLANGE APPEARS TO BE MADE OF STEEL WHILE THE REST OF THE EXHAUST APPEARS TO BE STAINLESS STEEL AND NOT AFFECTED BY THE WINTER WEATHER IN WESTERN NY STATE. THE CAR WAS 5 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
I HAVE RECENTLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2008 NISSAN SENTRA. WAS TOLD MY REAR TIRES ARE CUPPING AND THAT MY TIRE WARRANTY THAT I PAID EXTRA FOR IS VOID BECAUSE IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION OF THE ACTUAL CAR THAT IS CAUSING THE CAR NOT TO RIDE PROPERLY. I ONLY PUT 19,000 MILES ON THESE NEW TIRES. WAS TOLD IF I REPLACE THE TIRES THIS WILL JUST HAPPEN AGAIN & AGAIN. NISSAN INSPECTED THE CAR AND SAID THE REAR MEMBER IS NOT DAMAGED OR BENT BUT THE CAR IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THESE CAR WERE BUILT SO THAT THE REAR IS FIXED & CANNOT BE ALIGNED ONLY THE FRONT CAN BE ALIGNED. THEIR SUGGESTION IS TO ADD SHIMS TO THE REAR TO HELP THE CAR TO RIDE BETTER & BE MORE IN ALIGNMENT AND THAT SHOULD HELP THE PROBLEM IT IS CREATING WITH THE REAR TIRES CUPPING. WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR THEY CONVINCED ME TO ALSO PURCHASED A RATHER EXPENSIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS SAID TO COVER ALMOST EVERYTHING. NOW I AM TOLD THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS ( BECAUSE IT IS AN ADD ON PART, NOT A REPLACEMENT PART) AND THAT I AM EXPECTED TO PAY FOR THIS. FIRST OF ALL THIS SOUNDS LIKE A BANDAID FIX TO A PROBLEM NISSAN SHOULD BE ADDRESSING IF THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE IS FAULTY. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY DAMAGE OR ACCIDENT TO THE REAR OF MY CAR THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS. IT CLEARLY IS SOME SORT OF DEFECT. NOT SURE WHY THEY WOULD MAKE A CAR THAT CANNOT BE ALIGNED IN BACK. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT ALTHOUGH IT SHOWS NO OBVIOUS DAMAGE, MAYBE I HIT A POTHOLE THAT CAUSED IT TO GO OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I THINK THEY ARE GRASPING AT STRAWS TO MAKE EXCUSED FOR THEIR VEHICLES DEFECT. EVEN IF I DID HIT A POTHOLE...IF THE CAR WAS BUILT & MANUFACTURED PROPERLY, A POTHOLE SHOULD NOT THROW THE ENTIRE FIXED REAR ALIGNMENT OUT OF WACK ENOUGH TO RUIN NEW TIRES. IF THIS IS HOW THEY MAKE CARS THEN I DON'T PLAN ON BUYING MY NEXT CAR WITH NISSAN. SORRY NISSAN BUT YOU JUST LOST A GOOD CUSTOMER! *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, SUSPENSION:REAR, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, TIRES
I CURRENTLY OWN A 2008 NISSAN SENTRA. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE REAR OF MY CAR SEEMS TO SLIDE OUT DURING WINTER WEATHER. MY TIRES ALSO SEEM TO WEAR QUICKER AND MY GAS MILEAGE IS WAY BELOW THE MILEAGE I SHOULD BE GETTING. I HAD THE ALIGNMENT DONE TWICE WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR BACK IN 2008 BUT NOTHING CHANGED AND I JUST GAVE UP. RECENTLY I HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE BUT UNFORTUNATELY MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *KB

SEATS
FRONT SEATS ON 2008 NISSAN SENTRA MOVE AND RATTLE. I HAD A METAL BRACKET THAT FAILED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT REPAIRED BECAUSE NISSAN DID NOT OFFER A REPLACEMENT PART. THE ENTIRE SEAT BASE HAD TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE SEATS IN AN ACCIDENT. I'VE NOT HAD THE SEATS REPAIRED BECAUSE THE COST IS BEYOND WHAT I CAN AFFORD AT THE MOMENT. *TR

STEERING
I BOUGHT MY DAUGHTER A 2008 NISSAN SENTRA FOR CHRISTMAS (2010). THIS MORNING (11 JUNE 2011) I TOOK MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OUT TO LEARN HOW TO PARALLEL PARK AT THE DMV. AS SHE WAS BACKING UP TO PARK SHE SAID SHE COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND NOTICED A PS LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD. I TOOK OVER AND TRIED TO MANEUVER THE CAR AND IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. I THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF AND OPEN THE HOOD TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM BUT SAW NO VISUAL DEFECTS. I THEN GOT BACK IN THE CAR, STARTED IT UP AND THE PS LIGHT WAS GONE AND THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN. WHEN WE GOT HOME I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE STEERING OF THE SENTRA BUT NO RECALL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE SENTRA ONLY THE NISSAN XTERRA AND FRONTIER HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I BOUGHT A NISSAN ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO AND HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCE WITH MY VEHICLE AND PUT MY TRUST IN THEM TO ENSURE MY DAUGHTER HAD THE BEST AND SAFEST VEHICLE ON THE ROAD BUT LITTLE DID I KNOW THEY NO LONGER ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF PRESERVING HUMAN LIFE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN ALONE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN THAT VEHICLE WHEN IT STOPPED WORKING AND CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT FOR MANY PEOPLE BUT NO ONE IS CONCERNED ABOUT HUMAN LIFE ANYMORE IT'S ALL ABOUT PROFIT. NOW I'VE GOT TO FIND MY DAUGHTER ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I'VE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THE INTEGRITY OF THE NISSAN COMPANY. I'D RATHER TAKE A LOSS OF MONEY THEN A LOSS OF LIFE. THANKS NISSAN. *TR

STEERING
I BOUGHT MY NISSAN SENTRA SER IN JUNE 2008. I REPLACED MY TIRES IN OCTOBER 2010. BEGINNING AT 25,000 MILES MY CAR ISN'T STEERING OR DRIVING THE WAY IT USED TO. I THOUGHT THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AND IT WAS SLIGHTLY. ONE PLACE TELLS ME IT'S THE WEAR OF MY TIRES, ANOTHER PLACE SAYS IT'S MY TOE AND SUSPENSION, THE DEALER SHIP DOESN'T SEE ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN NOW TO 4 DIFFERENT PLACE ABOUT 6-7 TIMES NOW. LAST WEEK I WAS AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR AND I DROVE THE CAR AND SO DID THE MECHANIC THAT WORKED ON MY CAR. HE SAID "MAYBE IT'S THE DRIVER THAT'S THE ISSUE." I WAS INSULTED AND AFTER YEARS OF DRIVING I KNOW WHEN MY CAR IS DRIVING FUNNY. STILL TILL THIS DAY, WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR AT HIGH SPEEDS I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO LOSE CONTROL. ESPECIALLY ON EXPRESS WAYS IN THE CAR I FEEL LIKE IT IS A WINDY DAY AND MY CAR WILL DECIDE TO EITHER GO TO THE LEFT OR GO TO THE RIGHT. I DON'T FEEL IT SO MUCH WHEN I FIRST START DRIVING BUT AFTER 10 MINUTES ON THE SAME ROAD. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY AND THE PROBLEM STILL IS NOT FIXED. I'VE SEARCHED ONLINE AND IN DISCUSSION SITES PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S AFTER 25,000 MILES ARE DRIVEN. THE PROBLEM IS SO BAD I WANT TO TRADE IN MY CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT
IN 2008 I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 NISSAN SENTRA. FOLLOWING THE PURCHASE I HAVE INCURRED NUMEROUS ISSUES AND SAFETY HAZARDS. THE VEHICLE BEGAN JERKING DURING ACCELERATION 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, I INFORMED DEALERSHIP OF ISSUE AND WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING WAS DEFECTIVE WITHIN THE VEHICLE. 11 MONTHS FOLLOWING INITIAL DIAGNOSE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED 11 MONTHS AFTER. THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE GEARS SHIFTED FROM 65 MPH TO 40 MPH WHILE TRAVELING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, 3 YEAR OLD TODDLER WAS PRESENT. SHIFT IN GEARS ALMOST CAUSED MAJOR ACCIDENT. FOLLOWING REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION, TRAVELING ON GARDEN STATE PARKWAY, CAR ONCE AGAIN SHIFTS GEARS AND DROPS FROM 65 MPH TO 40 MPH, ONCE AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS RECALLS. CONTACTED NISSAN'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS, WAS TOLD TO RETURN TO ORIGINAL DEALER AND NOTHING ELSE COULD BE DONE. DUE TO SAFETY HAZARDS I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD TO RENT A VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT TO RUTGERS UNIVERSITY WHERE I ATTEND FULL-TIME. MY CURRENT ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE PLACES MY LIFE AND WELL BEING IN DANGER. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WAS INFORMED TO RETURN THE VEHICLE THE ORIGINAL DEALER. THE ORIGINAL DEALER HAS SINCE SOLD THE DEALERSHIP TO HIS SON, AND THE NEW DEALER REFUSES TO ASSIST ME, STATING THAT THE PREVIOUS DEALERSHIP AND THE NEW DEALERSHIP HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH ONE ANOTHER. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
MY 2008 NISSAN SENTRA HAS BEEN WEARING OUT TIRES RATHER QUICKLY. I HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED BY A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR TIRES WERE OUT MORE THAN TWICE THE LIMIT. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR AN ALIGNMENT. THEY ALIGNED IT AND GAVE ME THE SPEC SHEET. I NOTICED THAT THE REAR TIRES WERE OUT ONCE AGAIN BY MORE THAN TWICE THE SPEC. I INFORMED THE DEALER AND THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 MORE DAYS ONLY TO INFORM ME THAT THEY COULD NOT ALIGN IT AND REFUNDED MY MONEY. AFTER SPEAKING WITH NISSAN THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THEY NO PROBLEMS WITH REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT. IN THE MEANTIME MY TIRES ARE WEARING AND THE VEHICLE HANDLES VERY POORLY IN THE RAIN. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
RE: REAR TIRE - 2008 NISSAN SENTRA THE REAR TIRES ON THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN GOING FLAT OR BLOWN OUT MORE THAN 6 TIMES OVER THE LAST 67,000 MILES. THE FRONT TIRES ON THE VEHICLE HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. A FEW TIMES THE TIRES HAVE SLOWLY DEFLATED AND I WAS ABLE TO INFLATE THEM A FEW TIMES BEFORE HAVING TO REPLACE THEM. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER TIMES WHERE THE TIRE HAS BLOWN OUT VERY BADLY ON THE HIGHWAY. ALL THESE OCCURRENCES ONLY HAPPEN TO THE REAR TIRES OF THE VEHICLE. ONCE, I GOT ONE OF THE DEFLATED REAR TIRES REPAIRED AND THEN IT BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY A FEW MONTHS LATER. SINCE THIS IS A VERY TIME CONSUMING PROCESS, I USUALLY GET THE TIRE REPLACED. I HAVE OWNED CARS CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 1997 (2 HONDA CIVICS) AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PERSISTENT TIRE PROBLEMS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM FOR ME.

STEERING, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
ON FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12, 2010, I STARTED MY 2008 NISSAN SENTRA . WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. I PULLED BACK IN THE PARKING SPACE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO BACK UP, THEN DRIVE LIKE NORMAL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2010 AND AFTER A "DIAGNOSTIC TEST", THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $1250. IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE CAR HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT ON NOVEMBER 11, 2010, NISSAN PUT A RECALL OUT ON THEIR FRONTIER AND XTERRA OVER SAFETY CONCERNS IN THE STEERING COLUMN. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY SENTRA IS AT THE DEALER AWAITING THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE. *TR
