SERVICE BRAKES
WE PURCHASED A USED 2017 NISSAN SENTRA IN APRIL 2019. IT CURRENTLY HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT, AND FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH INTERMITTENT SOFT BRAKES. THE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. MECHANIC HAD PROBLEMS DIAGNOSING IT BECAUSE IT WAS INTERMITTENT. FINALLY HE REPLICATED THE ISSUE AND FLUSHED AIR OUT OF THE BRAKE LINES. BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY FOR A FEW DAYS, AND THEN ISSUE STARTED UP AGAIN. STILL TRYING TO GET THE MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

EVER SINCE I FIRST BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW WITH 23 MILES ON IT I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH WHAT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION, BUT I THINK IT'S A SENSOR THAT TELL THE CAR TO SHIFT OR GIVE GAS. MY ENGINE HAS CAME ON A FEW TIMES THEN GONE OFF IT HAD TO DO WITH A SENSORY THAT WAS CAUSING TO MUCH AIR TO LEAK INTO THE GAS LINE , REASON FOR THE STUDDERING WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AT STOP SIGNS . THE CAR OUT OF NO WHERE JUST STOP GIVING GAS AND TAKES A LONG TIME TO SHIFT WHEN I FIRST MENTION THE PROBLEMS TO THE CAR COMPANY THEY SAID THE ENGINE SHIFTS ON ITS OWN SO IT CAN FEEL A LITTLE GREEKY ?? WHAT KINDA ANSWER IS THAT . NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD ANOTHER ISSUE WITH MOSTUIRE GETTING INTO MY HEADLIGHTS AND CAUSING THE LIGHTING SYSTEMS TO MALFUNCTION. I DON'T SEE THIS CAR LASTING ME ANOTHER 2 YEARS THE WAY THE CAR RUNS . AND I DO IN TOWN DRIVING .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 NISSAN SENTRA.

THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR SHREDDED ITSELF TO BITS IN A DAY AT 86K MILES. IT MADE A VERY MILD GRINDING NOISE GOING INTO WORK IN THE MORNING ON AN EXPRESSWAY AND DRIVING HOME THE SAME NIGHT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO JUMP OUT OF THE CAR. REVVING ENGINE WITH NO POWER ONLY FOR IT TO LAUNCH LIKE A ROCKET WITH NO WARNING, TERRIBLE CLUNKING, STALLING, THE WORKS, ESPECIALLY AT A STOP-START. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE THAT THEY BREAK AROUND 80K MILES AND CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I BOUGHT THIS FROM A NISSAN DEALER NOVEMBER 2018. A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE A WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH STATING "UNAVAILABLE FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION" FOLLOWED BY THE DEACTIVATED RADAR SYMBOL THAT REMAINS ON THE DASH. I CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF ANY RECALLS WE'RE OUT FOR THE COLLISION WARNING SENSOR. THEY SAID NO. I KNOW THAT THE NISSAN MURANOS HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THIS SENSOR. IT STARTED GOING OFF ABOUT ONCE A DAY, NOW IT DEACTIVATES NEARLY SIX OR MORE TIMES A DAY AND I DRIVING ME CRAZY. WHEN I LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE WITH THE MURANO, THEY MENTIONED THAT OCCASIONALLY THE "AUTO BRAKE" FEATURE WOULD ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING AFTER SEEING THIS MESSAGE AND I AM AFRAID MY VEHICLE WILL DO THE SAME.

SUSPENSION
IN SEPTEMBER 2020 I PURCHASE A 2018 NISSAN SENTRA SV 1.8LITER CAR FROM A SMALL DEALERSHIP. EVERYTHING IS GOING GOOD, I KEEP UP ON THE MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR. ON 02/25/2021 I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND IT WAS INFORMED THAT ALL THE REAR SHOCKS ARE LEAKING BAD AND THE FRONT SHOCKS LEAKING AS WELL. FOR A 3 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD THESE PARTS BE LEAKING LIKE THIS ALREADY? THE MILAGE ON MY CAR IS UNDER 70,000 AND THEY ALL NEED TO REPLACE ALREADY.I JUST WANTED TO KNOW HOW LONG SHOULD SHOCKS LAST FOR ON A CAR. I JUST BELIEVED THIS CALLS FOR A SAFETY RISK. THERE IS NO ACCIDENT OF ANY SORT ONLY THE REPORT FROM THE MECHANIC SHOP.

THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING OK BUT THEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILING. HAD TO PAY $225 TO GET IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE AT 1:00 AM THEN ANOTHER $150 TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER TO GET A DIAGNOSIS FOR NISSAN. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS GIVEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS/ 84,000 MILES. I AM STILL WITHIN THE 7 YEAR TIMEFRAME BUT I HAVE 86,439 MILES ON MY CAR. ONE ORIGINAL OWNER BEFORE ME. CLEAN CAR FAX REPORT AND THE CAR WAS DRIVEN MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. I HAVE HAD IT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND A HALF AND BARELY PUT 10,000 MILES ON IT. THIS CAR STOPPED WHILE MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. SHE IS VERY LUCKY THAT NOTHING BAD HAPPENED TO HER. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND NISSAN HAS NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND EVENTUALLY SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THIS. I FEEL THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THIS REPAIR AS THEY KNOWINGLY ARE SELLING THESE VEHICLES WITH TRANSMISSIONS AND THEY HAVE CAUSED MORE PROBLEMS FOR MORE PEOPLE. I HAVE AN OPEN CASE WITH NISSAN BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS OR NOT.
