SERVICE BRAKES
I AM OWNER OF A 2014 NISSAN CENTRA. I STARTED GETTING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. I NOTOCED THAT WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKES, THE PETALS GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. MY CAR ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES. I TOOK IT FOR AN INSPECTION TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER TWICE AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS KIND OF PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS ANYTIME, EITHER WITH THE CAR ON, IN MOTION OR NOT IN MOTION.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2010 NISSAN SENTRA (WAS STATIONARY EACH TIME) FAILED TO START SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT BEGAN STARTING FOR A WEEK.THEN ONE MORNING IT FAILED TO START AGAIN. I CLEANED BOTH THE CABLE ENDS ON THE BATTERY AND EACH POST. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AND LASTED A FEW DAYS AND THE SAME PROBLEMS ARISES AGAIN. THIS TIME THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. PUT A CODE MACHINE ON THE CAR AND RECEIVED A CODE FOR CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR OR THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I HAVE DISCOVERED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO NOT GET GOOD CONNECTION AND CREATE FAILURE FOR THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER BUT THE NHTSA SYSTEM IS NOT RESPONDING. COULD PLEASE RESPOND TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE IS ON THE RECALL LIST?

THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH RELEASES BRAKE SWITCH WHICH SOMETIMES MALFUNCTIONS AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO START BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SENSE THE BRAKE BEING PUSHED. THERE IS NO MANUAL WORK AROUND. IT HAS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY BUT RECENTLY WOULD NOT START FOR THREE DAYS. I HAD TO TAKE THE BRAKE SWITCH APART AND CLEAN THE INSIDE OF EXCESS SILICONE THAT GETS DIRT IN IT AND KEEPS THE CONTACT METAL FROM SENSING THE BRAKE BEING PUSHED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND ALSO KEEPS THE BRAKE LIGHTS FROM WORKING.*DT*JB

RANDOMLY THE CAR WILL REV, BUT NOT SPEED UP. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS GOING UP HILLS, RESULTING IN THE CAR NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE, CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IF MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES NOW, AND WE'VE GARAGED THE CAR, WAITING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION.

I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND THE MOST PROBLEMATIC ONE IS THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I ACCELERATE TO HIGH SPEED ON HIGHWAY AT A POINT THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO ACT UP. THE RPM START TO GO UP AND DOWN CRAZY. AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE AND I COULD OF HAD HARDCORE ACCIDENTS THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, BUT RANDOMLY. THERE ARE NO CHECK LIGHTS ON OR ANYTHING, SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE DRIVE NORMAL AND AT TIMES IT DOES NOT. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NEVER HAD THE TIME TO FIX MY VEHICLE UNTIL I SAID ENOUGH I NEED THIS DONE ASAP. WELL IT TOOK THEM 5 DAYS TO TELL ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND GIVEN CODE IS DTC: P17F4. I WAS LOOKING INTO IT AND DID SEE THERE ARE CURRENT RECALLS FOR SOME SENTRA BUT MINE IS NOT ONE I GUESS MAYBE IT IS THE MODEL I DONT KNOW.
