VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UPON DRIVING MY CAR DURING A TRIP HOME FROM WORK THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH AND THE RPM'S WOULD NOT MOVE. ONCE I GOT ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR WOULD HARDLY ACCELERATE AND WHEN IT FINALLY DID DECIDE TO AFTER 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE RPM'S WENT ALL THE WAY UP AND THE SPEED ODOMETER HARDLY MOVED. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. I ALMOST GOT HIT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE CAR COULD NOT SPEED UP.

THE SECOND DAY AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE THE RADIO WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF EVEN WHEN CAR NOR RADIO WAS ON. IT HAPPENS A LOT. WENT OUT TO GARAGE ONE NIGHT AND RADIO WAS PLAYING. DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT WAS ON. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND STREETS ALSO. CAME OUT OF WORK RADIO WAS PLAYING IN PARKED CAR.I'M AFRAID BATTERY WILL RUN DOWN OR WORSE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM CAUSING OTHER SAFETY ISSUES WHEN DRIVING CAR. DEALER HAD HAD 22 DAYS WITH NO ANSWER TO REPAIR. JUST BOUGHT OCT. 31ST.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE
HELLO, MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. SHE DEVELOPED SOME DEEP CUTS ON HER HEAD AND I BELIEVE A FRACTURE. I AM CONCERNED THAT HER CAR MIGHT BE PART OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THERE WERE PIECES OF METAL FROM THE AIRBAG THAT CAUSED THE DEEP CUTS ON HER HEAD. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOTOS RIGHT NOW OR POLICE REPORTS, BUT I CAN GET THAT INFORMATION IF REQUIRED.*DT *TP *JB THANKS

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ABOUT 30 MPH, BEFORE I EVEN APPROACHED ANOTHER VEHICLE MY SENSORS BEGAN BEEPING QUICKER AS IF I WERE ABOUT TO HIT ANOTHER CAR.

POLICE WERE ON THE SCENE AND WITNESSED THE ACCIDENT. MY CAR WAS TOTALED DUE TO A MALFUNCTION

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE MINUTE MY CAR IS DRIVING FINE THEN WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP AND PRESS ON THE GAS MY CAR DOESN'T WANT TO GO ANYWHERE. THE RPM WILL ACCELERATE BUT MY SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT GO UP. I HAVE EVEN PRESSED THE GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT STILL WON'T GET UP IN SPEED. MY CAR WILL ALSO ACT LIKE IT'S TRYING TO DYE WHEN SITTING AT AT LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT'S ALSO STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. THE HAS HAPPENED IN TOWN, ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO GET ON A HIGHWAY WITH KIDS IN THE CAR AND TRYING TO MERGE INTO ON COME TRAFFIC WITH HUGE SEMI'S. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY TELL MY THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED. WELL OBVIOUSLY REPROGRAMMING IT DOESN'T WORK. I'M FED UP WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN

MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS PARKED WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE LIGHT ON. AFTER NOTICING, I THEN PROCEEDED TO MAKE SURE ALL FOUR TIRES HAD CORRECT AMOUNT OF AIR AND TO AND TO TURN OFF CAR AND BACK ON TO RESET. AFTER DOING SO THE LIGHT HAS CONTINUED TO REMAIN ON. ALSO MY PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BEEN FLASHING ON AND OFF WHILE CARE IS IN START MODE. I AM UNSURE THE CAUSE OF IT. MY VEHICLE ALSO CUT OFF WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT A FEW WEEK AGO. UNSURE IF THE PROBLEMS WERE RELATED.

STEERING
SINCE PURCHASE, AND REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICING AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE CAR 'PULLS' TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING.NATURALLY, MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MORE INHERENTLY WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION OR STEERING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS CERTIFIED FROM NISSAN POUGHKEEPSIE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT THE EXACT CAUSE.

POWER TRAIN
RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING OUR NISSAN SENTRA, MY DAUGHTER WENT ON A ROAD TRIP TO SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE CAR LOST POWER AND STARTED STUTTERING. AS IT TURNS OUT THE CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. WE HAD TO PURCHASE A USED TRANSMISSION TO GET THE CAR RUNNING. THE CAR ONLY HAD 118,000 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURRED WHICH IS RIDUCLOUS.

WHEN BRAKING, IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL YOUR FOOT MAY BE ON BOTH THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AT THE SAME TIME, MAKING CAR TO EXCELERATE. GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL ARE VERY CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND GO TO BRAKE IS WHEN IT HAPPENS, ANYWHERE.
