POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
MY VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS GIVEN ME PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY RESPONDED WITH OH YEAH WE ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THAT RATHER THAN GIVING ME SOME KIND OF DIRECTIONS TOWARDS WHERE I CAN FIX IT. MY CAR HAS PROBLEM SPEEDING IT FEELS LIKE IT'S LOST IT'S POWER. I SERVICE MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I REPLACE ANYTHING THE CAR NEEDS. THIS VEHICLE ISN'T OLD AND SHOULD NOT BE GIVING ME ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES. I ALSO DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON MY DASH BOARD BUT THE CAR JERKS. I HATE THIS CAR. IVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF IT AND LITERALLY ALL IT'S GIVEN ME IS PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM. I STILL OWE TEN GRAND ON IT AND FOR WHAT? FOR JUNK? I THOUGHT ABOUT BUYING ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH NISSAN BUT IF THIS IS THE VEHICLE YOU GUYS ARE MAKING, UNRELIABLE, FRAGILE, AND UNSAFE; I DON'T WANT IT. ALSO SIDE NOTE I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT ACCORDING TO HIM AND IT STILL GIVES ME THESE ISSUES WITH THE JERKING, THE RPH GOING UP AND DOWN WHILE THE MPH ISN'T. MY VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL BUT THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE HAS NEVER WORKED. UNBELIEVABLE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AFTER PURCHASING THE 2020 NISSAN SENTRA. I NOTICED THE LED HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT BRIGHT AT PROJECTING ON THE ROAD CORRECTLY. COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL BULBS AND OTHER SEDANS OF YEAR 2020 MODELS. I COMPLAINED TO NISSAN WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A RECALL FOR THE LEFT HEADLIGHT DUE TO MISALIGNMENT. AFTER THEY REPLACED IT, THEY BOTH WERE NOT ALIGNED. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO MENTION IT. THEY COULD NOT PERFORM ANY TESTS BECAUSE IT DAYLIGHT AND TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO WAY SINCE THE DEALER HOURS ARE IN DAYLIGHT HOURS AND TO SELF DIAGNOSE AND CORRECT IT MYSELF SHOWING MY HOW TO ALIGN IT. I TRIED TO ALIGHT WHICH WORKED. BUT THE BRIGHTNESS OF LED OF FAR LESS THAN OTHER CARS. WHICH IS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY SEE THE ROAD AND ANY OBJECTS APPROXIMATELY 20 FEET AHEAD. THE LIGHT IS FOCUSED ALL THE CENTER OF THE VEHICLE AHEAD AND LEAVES THE SIDE AND MAIN AREAS DARK. I WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO NAVIGATE ON STREETS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR STARTED JERKING WHILE DRIVING. AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE, IT WOULD SUDDENLY GO INTO LYMPH MODE WHILE BEING OPERATED. THIS WAS VERY UNSAFE WHILE I WAS PREGNANT. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID I COULDN'T BE HELPED BECAUSE I WAS PASSED 84,000 MILES. HOWEVER I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SAID SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS, AND NOW HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR A TRANSMISSION

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN I LOSS 90% ACCELERATION AND VELOCITY WHILE DRIVING. VERY, VERY SCARY! I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I PROCEEDED TO CHECK THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER BY AAA WHEN A SERVICE CALL WAS PLACED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AT MY HOME. AAA'S. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER ARE GREAT AND THAT THESE THINGS WERE NOT THE REASON WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED ON. THE CAR IS ONLY 3YRS 11MNTHS OLD. I GET THE STANDARD OIL CHANGE BUT NISSAN HAS DISCONTINUED TO USE CONVENTIONAL OIL. WHICH IS THE RECOMMENDED OIL FOR MY CAR. I ALSO GET THE CAR SERVICED AS NEEDED. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE MY CAR. I CANNOT DRIVE IT PERIOD. IT SUDDENLY LOSES POWER 60 TO 120 SECONDS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.
