STEERING:COLUMN
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, A BOLT IN THE STEERING COLUMN BROKE AND THE WHEEL WAS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE WHEELS, MAKING A TURN THE WHEEL BECAME IMPOSSIBLE AS THE WHEEL SPUN COMPLETELY AROUND MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COLUMN, THE FIRST TIME THE ENTIRE COLUMN WAS REPLACED. WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR ONLY 8 MONTHS AND IT WAS NEW WHEN WE PURCHASED IT. WE ARE CURRENTLY WAITING TO HEAR FROM NISSAN ABOUT OUR REQUEST FOR AN EXCHANGE OR REFUND, AND WE FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE TO OPERATE. *TR

REAR TIRES ARE WORNOUT @ 11,000 MILES. NISSAN REPLACED 2 REAR AXLES AND REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY AND 2 REAR TIRES. THEY CHANGED THE ALIGNMENT SPECS AND SAID IT WAS FINE. CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIDN'T ANSWER CALLS FOR 2 MONTHS. INSPECTOR CHECKED THE REAR TIRES THAT HAD JUST BEEN ROTATED FROM THE FRONT AND SAID THEY DIDN'T SHOW SIGNS OUT BEING OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THEY WOULDN'T CONTACT THEIR FACTORY IN TN / SAFETY ENGINEER WHO HAD REQUESTED THE ORIGINAL REAR TIRES BE SHIPPED TO THEM. A SIMILAR VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND IT TOO HAD ALIGNMENT SPECS THAT WERE OUT AND SIMILAR TO OUR VEHICLE. WE HAVE 24000 MILES AND READY FOR A SECOND SET OF TIRES. STILL OUT OF ALIGNMENT, HAS ALWAYS BEEN OUT OF ALIGNMENT, TECHNICIANS STATE IT'LL NEVER BE IN ALIGNMENT BECAUSE THERE'S AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA. ON OCTOBER 6, 2007, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR ITS 7,500 MILE MAINTENANCE SERVICE. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AND BALANCED AT THAT TIME. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 65-70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND SHAKE. HE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT HE COULD TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER THAT WAS LOCATED CLOSER TO HIM. AT THAT TIME, HE AND THE DEALER BELIEVED THE TIRES JUST NEEDED TO BE ALIGNED. WHEN HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER, THEY FOUND THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ADDITION TO THE TWO TIRES THAT WERE JUST ROTATED FROM THE REAR TO THE FRONT. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY STILL WITH THE DEALER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 7,700.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
MY SON BOUGHT A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA S ON JULY 27, 2007. THIS VEHICLE HAS BROKE DOWN ON 08/03/07, 08/07/07, 08/10/00 AND AS OF TODAY IT IS STILL AT A NISSAN DEALER. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THAT THREE TIMES THE WHILE DRIVING ALONG FOR NO REASON IT THE CAR SPEED DROPS TO 5 MPH. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AT DEVELOPMENT AND NO OTHER TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO 5 MPH. NO FASTER. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED MY SON HAD TWO CLIENTS IN THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED MY SON AND I WERE RETURNING HOME. WE WERE TRAVELING UP A TWO LANE ROAD WITH MANY VEHICLES GOING BOTH WAYS, AS WE GOT HALF WAY UP THE HILL THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. WE HAD NO PLACE TO PULL OFF AND ALMOST GO HIT FROM BEHIND. THANK GOD THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GET AROUND US. WE HAD TO PUT THE 4 WAYS ON AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO GO 5 MPH TO THE TOP OF THE HILL. STILL WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD I TOLD MY SON TO DRIFT THE CAR DOWN THE HILL INTO OUR HOME TOWN. MY SON DRIVES THIS CAR ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS EVERY DAY TO GO TO WORK IF THIS HAPPENS ON THAT HIGHWAY WHILE EVERYONE IS GOING 65 MPH HE IS NOT GOING TO TIME TO GET OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND COMPLAINED AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM THAT WAS THE SECOND TIME IT BROKE DOWN. I FELL THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO BE ON ANY HIGHWAY. *JB

STEERING
WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT EITHER A STOP OR A SLOW ROLL THE STEERING MADE A LOW TONED NOISE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS TO THE LEFT. IT IS NOT LOW ON POWER STEERING FLIUD AND HAS DONE IT SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I'VE TALK TO OTHER OWNERS AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEARLERSHIPS ARE SAYING IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ABS AND SOMETHING ELSE. THE BRAKES WORK FINE AND STILL MAKES THE NOISE EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT PRESSING THE BRAKES. *JB

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
1-9-07 I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA ON 1-13-07 THE PS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING WAS OUT. IT CORRECTED ITSELF AND DROVE OKAY UNTIL 1-18, 2007 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THE PORTER DROVE THE CAR AND CONFIRMED THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING. I HAD TO ARGUE WITH THE SERVICE CLERK TO DEMAND THAT THE VEHICLE BE CHECKED, AFTER TALKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THE SALES MANAGER THEY AGREED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVE A CALL STATING THAT A PROBLEM WAS FOUND AND THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED. I HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD WHAT THE PART IS. I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE AUTO. THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR PART . *NM
