MY VEHICLE WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT 4-2-2015. MERCURY INSURANCE LISA OPENSHAW FAILED TO INVESTIGATE THE UNDERBODY OF THE CAR IN THE REAR. SHOCKS WERE BENT INWARDS IN THE REAR AND NEVER REPAIRED BY MERCURY. I HAD THE SHOCKS REPAIRED. ALONG WITH THE ESTIMATES OF REPAIR LISA OPENSHAW THREATENED ME BY STATING THAT MERCURY PAID FOR REPAIRS TWICE DUPLICATING LABOR ON SAME MATTERS. SHE TRIED TO SAY THE DAMAGES ON THE INSIDE DID NOT MATTER AND DAMAGES ON THE OUTSIDE WAS ALL THAT MATTERED. SHE ALSO TRIED TO VIOLATE THE LAW TO SAY I COULD NOT USE MY OWN REPAIR FACILITIES. THE DAMAGES TOTAL ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE CAR AND MY VEHICLE WAS PLACED AT RISK COMPROMISING MY SAFETY WHILE DAILY DRIVING. I SENT A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE NEGLIGENCE OF MY CAR NOT BEING RIGHTFULLY TOTALED. ATTACHED ARE ALL DOCUMENTS FOR REVIEW. I HAVE CC'D RICARDO LARA , THE CALIFORNIA INSURANCE COMMISSIONER REGARDING THIS MATTER ASKING THAT HE RESPOND TO ME ASAP REGARDING THE SERIOUS URGENCY OF THE MATTER SINCE IT HAS BEEN LITERALLY 5 YEARS. ACCORDING TO THE RECENT LETTER BY COMMISSIONER RICARDO LARA, ALL CLAIMS ARE TO BE PAID TO INCLUDE CAR DAMAGES WITH NO DISHONESTY AND NEGLIGENCE. I AM REQUESTING THAT MY CAR BE TOTALED IN FULL AS AT THE TIME OF THE CAR ACCIDENT , THE VALUE WAS $ 9500 PLUS TAX AND LICENSE FOR REPLACEMENT VALUE. ONCE THE CAR IS TOTALED, MERCURY INSURANCE MAY UPDATE STATE FARM INSURANCE, THE DEFENDANT'S INSURANCE COMPANY.*DT*JB*DT CONSUMER STATED TEARED DOWN OF THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETED ON 06/10/15.*JB

I PURCHASED FOUR SUMI TOUR PLUS LSW TIRES IN OCTOBER 2016. IN OCTOBER 2018, A BULGE WAS DISCOVERED IN ONE OF THE SIDEWALLS. THE COMPANY I BOUGHT THE TIRES FROM SUGGESTED THE TIRE MUST HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY A POTHOLE (EVEN THOUGH I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE THERE ARE FEW, IF ANY, POTHOLES.) IN APRIL 2020, ANOTHER BULGE WAS DISCOVERED IN ONE OF THE THREE REMAINING ORIGINAL TIRES. BOTH BULGES OCCURRED WITH THE TIRES HAVING LESS THAN THE 50,000 MILE WARRANTY. I CONTACTED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THE BULGES WERE "IMPACT BUBBLES," WHICH IS NOT A DEFECT, BUT A ROAD HAZARD. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE, AS I HAVE HIT POTHOLES IN THE PAST THAT HAVE ACTUALLY DENTED MY RIM, BUT NEVER HAVE I HAD BULGES OCCUR IN THE TIRES THEMSELVES IN ALL MY YEARS OF DRIVING...LET ALONE TWO BULGES IN UNDER TWO YEARS. *TR *JS

PURCHASED CERTIFIED PRE OWNED NISSAN SENTRA 2014 FROM PINEBELT DEALERSHIP WITH 67K MILES ON IT JAN 8TH 2018. NISSAN WAS WELL AWARE OF THE TRANS ISSUES HOWEVER I WAS NOT. AND THE SALESMAN WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO TELL ME THE TRANS LASTS THE LIFE OF THE CAR. I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. CAR JUST HIT 104K MILES. WHILE TAKING IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THE RECEPTIONIST TOLD ME THE MECHANIC HEARD A NOISE AND WANTED ME TO CONSENT TO A $160 DIAGNOSTIC. I SAID I DON'T HEAR A NOISE THERE AREN'T ANY LIGHTS ON. SURE ENOUGH THEY TOLD ME THE TRANS IS BAD AND WILL COST ME 4500 TO REPLACE. I OWE $7900 ON THE CAR CURRENTLY. NO ONE WOULD FINANCE A CAR AND EXPECT THE TRANS 2 GO IN 2 YEARS. THE CAR STARTED ACTING UP LESS THAN 5 DAYS AFTER VISITING THE DEALERSHIP. IT WONT GO OVER 50 MPH ITS SHAKING BADLY. ITS MAKING WHINING NOISES AND STARTS JERKING. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY EVERY DAY. IM GOING TO GET SLAMMED. THE CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. I BROUGHT IT TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC FOR A 2ND OPINION. HE CONFIRMED THE TRANS IS SLIPPING AND HE HAD A CAR LOT WITH HALF A DOZEN 2014 SENTRAS WAITING ON A NEW TRANS. I REACHED OUT TO NISSAN AND ASKED FOR HELP. HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. THESE CARS ARE SO UNSAFE ITS TERRIFYING DRIVING THEM. *TR

MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA KEEPS JUMPING, JERKING AND STUTTERING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS 103,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT RESPOND AT FIRST OR BARELY START MOVING AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING WILL JUMP/KICK THE CAR FORWARD. THIS MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY DURING CITY AND TRAFFIC JAM CONDITIONS. AFTER LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THE 2014 NISSAN SENTRA AND IS THE CAUSE OF MANY ACCIDENTS. I AM PRETTY SURE THE ISSUE IS BEING CAUSED BY THE TRANSMISSION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA (54,000 MILES) TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT NEW FOR DIAGNOSIS. WAS ADVISED FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CODE NOT BEING READ CORRECTLY SO FUEL PUMP NEEDS REPLACED. ESTIMATE $671 AND MY DIAGNOSIS WAS $145. I CALLED NISSAN BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL, BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. THE FUEL PUMP SHOULD LAST 125,000 MILES! VERY DISSAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN, THEY SAID SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY COULD NOT OFFER ANYTHING. NOW I'M JUST WAITING FOR THE WELL-DOCUMENTED TRANSMISSION FAILURE TO HAPPEN. THIS WAS MY FIRST NEW CAR EVER, AND I CAREFULLY RESEARCHED IT BEFORE PURCHASE. THEY CERTAINLY AREN'T MAKING THIS CUSTOMER FEEL TAKEN CARE OF BY NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACING THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 80MPH THE CAR'S RPM'S WILL SPIKE AND THE GAS PEDAL WILL NOT WORK. THE CAR JUST TAKES OVER DRIVING ITSELF. THIS OCCURS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN THE CAR WILL DRIVE NORMALLY AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND THEY SAY IT'S THE CVT TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. BUT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT DAMAGED AND THERE'S NO DIAGNOSTIC CODE SO NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

I HAD INSTABILITY ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AROUND CURVES. THE CAR WOULD START TO SHAKE, SO I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO NAVIGATE AROUND CURVES. TURNING ON TOWN ROADS FELT SOMEWHAT LESS,BUT I STILL HAD TO BE CAREFUL. MEINEKE PUT THEM ON WITH 64,249 MILES ON THE TIRES,ON 2/19/16, BUT THEY PUT ON NEW FRONT PAIR AT 70,203 MILES ON THE TIRES ON 10/8/19, BECAUSE THEY SAID THE TREAD WORN DOWN.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA SR FROM TOWNE AUTO BROKERS 03/2013 I TEST DROVE IT AND IT HAD NO SHIFTING PROBLEMS AT THAT TIME. 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE I'M DRIVING IT THE SENTRA STARTED JERKING AND IDLING ERRATICALLY, THE RPM TACHOMETER RED LINED 3 TIMES WITHOUT THE GAS PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED!! WHILE REDLINING THE SENTRA'S TRANSMISSION SHUDDER WITH THE ERRATIC JERKING ALL THE WHILE DECELERATING BEFORE CATCHING 3RD GEAR AT 4,000 RPM. I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC 3 MILES FROM HOME SO I DECIDED TO TRY AND MAKING IT HOME. WHILE STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT THE SENTRA IDLED NORMAL, THEN AT THE GREEN LIGHT WHEN I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENED( NO POWER AT ALL AND THE RPM DIDN'T RISE) I WAS LITERALLY STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION NOT ABLE TO MOVE MY NISSAN SENTRA UNDER ITS OWN POWER!!! I'M AFRAID THAT THIS IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS WELL AWARE OF BEFORE INSTALLATION IN NISSAN SENTRA AND ALL OTHER MODELS WITH THIS CVT TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE THE NISSAN CORPORATION SHOULD RECALL ALL CVT TRANSMISSION DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURE RESULTING IN LACK OF POWER.

WHILE THE CAR IS ACCELERATING THE RPM DROPS AND THE CAR THEN JERKS BEFORE SHIFTING TO NEXT GEAR AND THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHILE TURNING. IF THE CAR IS LEFT SITTING FOR A PERIOD LONGER THAN 5 MINUTES THE RPM ACCELERATES KNOCKS AND CUTS OFF.
