SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I BOUGHT A 2018 NISSAN SENTRY IN NOVEMBER OF 2018. IN THE PAST MONTH THE BRAND NEW CAR HAS NOT BEEN STARTING. IT HAS BEEN LEAVING ME STRANDED AT WORK AND AT THE STORE. I KEEP TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY REPLACE THE BRAKE SWITCH AND BATTERY. HOWEVER THE CAR IS STILL NOT STARTING ON ME. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE BRAKE SWITCH AGAIN BUT NOW THEY ARE WAITING FOR ANOTHER PART. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE IT'S A NEW CAR AND TO ME EVERYTHING IN THE CAR SHOULD BE NEW.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGH SPEEDS THE CAR SHAKES AND DOES NOT WANT TO STOP. I PUT BOTH OF MY FEET ON THE PEDAL AS HARD AS I CAN. THIS HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY AND NOT ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN JUST DRIVING AROUND TOWN BREAKING IS FINE. NO SHAKE IN THE PEDALS. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A CODE. I ALSO TOOK TO THE MECHANIC ( AFC CERTIFIED). THEY SAID MY PADS ARE AT 60% AND THE ROTORS WERE IN GOOD CONDITION.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS ON A CITY STREET. AFTER STOPPING (I WAS STOPPED) AT AN INTERSECTION, I THEN PRESSED ON THE GAS TO TURN LEFT INTO THE LANE. AT THAT TIME, I HEARD A LOUD 'POP' WHICH STARTLED ME. AND THOUGH THE CAR WAS IN GEAR ('D'-DRIVE) IT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. I SHIFTED TO REVERSE TO SEE IF IT WOULD MOVE IN THAT GEAR. I FELT THE GEAR ENGAGE AND THE CAR DID MOVE IN REVERSE. I SHIFTED BACK TO 'D'- DRIVE BUT I DID NOT FEEL THE GEAR ENGAGE NOR DID THE CAR MOVE FORWARD AT ALL. IN ADDITION TO THE FAILURE OF MY TRANSMISSION, I WAS DOUBLY BOTHERED BY THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NEVER A WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH TO SIGNAL A PENDING OR POTENTIAL PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT MY CAR AS A USED CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD AFTER A YEAR. WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING IT JERKS VERY UNUSUALLY BEFORE IT CHANGES GEARS AND WHEN I ACCELERATE, THE CAR'S RPM SHOOTS UP VERY QUICKLY AND COMES BACK DOWN. IT KEEPS FLUCTUATING LIKE THAT FOR THE WHOLE DRIVE. I THEN BOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION FROM A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA S WITH A VIN "[XXX]" AS A REPLACEMENT BUT THAT HAS GONE BAD AS WELL. IT DOES THE SAME THING AS THE PREVIOUS ONE THAT WENT BAD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON DUE TO THE SAME AIR FLOW PROBLEM. EVERY TIME CAR IS SCANNED THE CODE COMES UP AS THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. I HAVE REPLACED THIS SENSOR. MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. MY CAR ALSO IDLES, JERKS WHEN PLACED IN PARK & HAS DECREASED FUEL EFFICIENCY. THE CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE, WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. CAR RPMS INCREASED THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. TRAFFIC RAPIDLY APPROACHING BEHIND ME.
