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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLS AND I HAVE REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE CAR TENDS TO STALL MORE AFTER IT RAINS AND IT COULD STALL FOR WEEKS OR MONTHS AND THAN IT WILL STOP BUT IT IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I HAVE TAKEN FOR REPAIRS THREE TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I SEE THERE ARE RECALLS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN THE 2001 & 2003 NISSAN SENTRA DUE TO A DEFECTIVE CRANK SENSOR. I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE THIS PROBLEM STARTED BUT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ENGINE FAILING PROBLEM ON AND OFF FOR SOMETIME. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
I WAS INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON MARCH 19, 2007. I WAS DRIVING A 2004 NISSAN SENTRA. AS I WAS LEAVING WORK ON THIS DAY, I WAS PULLING OUT TO TURN LEFT ONTO THE STREET. I HAD LOOKED BOTH WAYS TWICE BEFORE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE STREET WAS VERY BUSY. THE PERSON IN THE VEHICLE CLOSEST TO ME MOTIONED FOR ME TO PULL OUT. I DID, BUT DID NOT SEE THE CAR COMING THAT HIT ME. I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND SUFFERED A CRACKED HIP AND PELVIC BONE AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT. I SPENT 2 1/2 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL AND 6 WEEKS ON CRUTCHES. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH PRIOR TO MY ACCIDENT, MY INSURANCE COMPANY RAISED MY RATE $10 A MONTH BECAUSE THE SAFETY RATING ON THE CAR WAS A ZERO. WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY TO REPORT THE INCIDENT AND ASKED FOR COMPENSATION FROM NISSAN FOR MY REPLACEMENT VEHICLE (MY SENTRA WAS TOTALED IN THE ACCIDENT), THEIR RESPONSE WAS TO DISMISS ME AND TO TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I FEEL THAT NISSAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY INJURIES DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY MANUFACTURED AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAILURE IN MANUFACTURING. I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL ATTORNEYS IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET A CASE AGAINST NISSAN, BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD BY EACH ONE THAT A CASE WOULD COST MORE THAN IT WOULD BE WORTH. IS THERE NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO HOLD NISSAN RESPONSIBLE FOR MY INJURIES?? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2004 NISSAN SENTRA LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. MECHANIC DETERMINED THE FAILURE WAS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. *KB AFTER THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WAS REPLACED, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD IDLE ROUGH UNTIL IT WARMED UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE VEHICLE HAD A WARPED HEAD. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THERE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT DEFECTIVE HEAD BOLTS COULD CAUSE THE HEAD TO WARP. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE PROBLEMS HE EXPERIENCED WERE RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED NISSAN AND PROVIDED HIS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. NISSAN STATED HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
VEHICLE 62,861 MILES. ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED. JANUARY 26, 2008 I DROVE VEHICLE 25 MILES FROM MY HOME. THE CAR SAT FOR 4 HOURS. ON RESTART GOT NO HEAT. TEMPERATURE GAUGE IN THE NORMAL RANGE. DROVE 10 MILES WHEN THE HEAT GAUGE SPIKED HIGH, STOPPED. ENGINE TEMP BACK TO NORMAL, AND I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. OPENED HOOD NO STEAM VISIBLE. EASED RADIATOR CAP OFF, COULD SEE COOLANT IN RADIATOR STARTED ENGINE BACK UP TO SEE WHERE THE WATER LEVEL WOULD DROP TOO. ADDED 4 OZ. NO STEAM COMING FROM ENGINE OR RADIATOR. SERVICE SOON LIGHT NOW LIT. ENGINE RAN SMOOTHLY. TRIED TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG. SUSPECTED NO WATER FLOW THROUGH HEATER. DETERMINED WATER FLOW OUT OF THE RADIATOR, NO STEAM, HAD A SERVICE SOON LIGHT, AND ENGINE HAD A SLIGHT MISS AT STARTUP THAT CLEARED AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF RUNNING. I TOOK THE NISSAN TO BREEDEN'S AUTO REPAIR. BREEDEN'S DETERMINED ENGINE HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET, AND A MISS IN NO. 2 CYLINDER. THE NISSAN'S ENGINE WAS REPAIRED. BREEDEN'S MECHANICS TOLD ME THE FOLLOWING: NISSAN HAD 4 OR 5 (SERVICE) NOTICES ON FAILED HEAD GASKET WITH CYLINDER NUMBER 2 MISS FOR THE 2005 1.8 SENTRA, HOWEVER NO RECALL EXISTS; ENGINE COOLANT AND RADIATOR WERE CLEAN; NEW TYPE HEAD BOLTS WERE REQUIRED WITH THE GASKET REPLACEMENT AND REQUIRED 60 FOOT-POUNDS OF TORQUE; THAT WHEN REMOVING THE HEAD THEY FOUND THE REAR BOLTS TO BE MUCH LOOSER THAN THE FRONT BOLTS (NOT THE REQUIRED TORQUE); AND THEY FOUND NO OTHER REASON TO EXPLAIN HEAD GASKET FAILURE. THE 1.8 NISSAN ENGINE HEAD GASKET SHOULD NOT FAIL ON A WELL MAINTAINED, NON-ABUSED ENGINE WITH 62K MILES. I BELIEVE NISSAN HAD INDICATIONS THAT SOME OF THEIR 1.8 ENGINES HAD A PROBLEM BLOWING HEAD GASKETS BECAUSE OF THE NOTICES. I SUSPECT NISSAN ATTRIBUTED THESE RECORDED FAILURES TO HEAD BOLT TORQUE, AND I WONDER WHY NO RECALL NOTICE WAS FORTHCOMING. NISSAN GAVE A NEGATIVE RESPONSE ON FEBRUARY 28, 2008. *TR

EQUIPMENT
2000 NISSAN SENTRA- MANY CONSUMERS WITH 2000/2001 SENTRAS COMPLAINING ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS. CAR STALLING- SHUTTING OFF WHEN CAR IS SLOWING DOWN. RPM IS AT 4000 AND DROPS TO 0 IMMEDIATELY AND CAR SHUTS OFF. SO FAR, WE\'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY WHEN THIS HAPPENS, WE\'VE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE (CAR IS BASICALLY OPERATING IN NEUTRAL AT THIS POINT). WE HAVE TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AND TURN ON THE IGNITION AGAIN. WE HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT NISSAN COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE THEY SAID THEIR COMPUTERS COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY CHARGED US THE LABOR CHARGE ANYWAY EVEN THOUGH THEY COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING. NOW THE WARRANTY IS OVER AND MY PERSONAL MECHANIC JUST FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM AFTER EXPERIENCING THE SAME WITH ANOTHER NISSAN OWNER. IT IS THE IDLE CONTROL VALVE WHICH NEEDS THE COMPUTER TO BE CHANGED AS WELL IN ORDER TO WORK. THIS WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY NISSAN SINCE IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT BUT THEY WON\'T BECAUSE WE DON\'T HAVE WARRANTY ANYMORE. WE CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE SELL THE CAR TO SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE DRIVING THESE CARS IS REALLY DANGEROUS. IF YOU READ THE FORUMS, THERE ARE MANY NISSAN SENTRA OWNERS IN THE SAME BOAT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:HEATER CORE
I PURCHASED MY 2005 NISSAN SENTRA IN DECEMBER 2005. IN SEPTEMBER 2007, I BEGAN NOTICING THAT MY CAR WAS OVERHEATING. IN ADDITION TO MY CAR OVERHEATING, THE HEAT STOPPED WORKING. I DO NOT HAVE VERY MUCH MONEY AND MY WARRANTY HAS ALREADY EXPIRED SO I HAD A FAMILY MECHANIC LOOK AT THE CAR. I HAD THE WATER-PUMP REPLACED, THE RADIATOR FLUSHED, THE HEATING AND COOLING SENSOR REPLACED, BELTS AND HOSES REPLACED. AFTER HAVING SO MANY THINGS DONE TO MY CAR, THE PROBLEM WAS STILL NOT SOLVED. I THEN DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE REPAIR SHOP FLUSHED OUT MY RADIATOR. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, THE HEAT WAS WORKING AND IT WAS FINE. THE REPAIR SHOP IS LITERALLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE I LIVE. BEFORE I GOT HOME, THE CAR OVERHEATED AND THE HEAT WENT OUT. I TOOK THE CAR RIGHT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I MUST HAVE A HEAD GASKET PROBLEM. OK, SO I WENT BACK TO THE FAMILY MECHANIC BECAUSE THE REPAIR SHOP WANTED TO CHARGE OVER $1000 TO REPLACE THE HEAD GASKET (WHICH I DIDN'T HAVE). THE FAMILY MECHANIC REPLACED THE HEAD GASKET FOR ME THOUGH HE DIDN'T SEE HOLES OR CRACKS IN THE ORIGINAL HEAD GASKET. THIS STILL DID NOT SOLVE MY PROBLEM. I FINALLY DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPT. THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED A RADIATOR, I PAID $560 JUST TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE RADIATOR. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, I DIDN'T MAKE IT HOME BEFORE THE CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AGAIN AND THE HEAT WENT OUT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO NISSAN SERVICE DEPT. THIS WAS FIVE WEEKS AGO. I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY CAR. THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT I PROBABLY NEED A HEAD GASKET. I GAVE THE OK TO REPLACE THE HEAD GASKET WHICH WILL COST OVER $1500. I AM STILL AWAITING MY CAR BUT AM NOT SURE THAT THIS WILL SOLVE MY PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAGS
NISSAN SENTRA CAR PROBLEM I HAVE NISSAN SENTRA AND HAD A PROBLEM ON JAN 9, 2008. MY WIFE DRIVING CAR AND SUDDENLY BOTH AIRBAG BLOW OUT AND BROKE FRONT WINDSHIELD GLASS. AFTER THIS INCIDENT I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA (1800NISSAN1) AND SUBMITTED COMPLIANT (FILE# 6000221), AFTER TWO WEEK (JAN 21) NISSAN SEND SOME ONE TO INSPECT MY CAR. DURING THIS TIME I CALL NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET THEM REPAIR CAR OR GIVE ME RENTAL CAR BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE INVESTIGATING PROBLEM SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. I ALSO CALLED STATE FARM AND SUBMITTED CLAIM FOR THIS ACCIDENT. BUT SINCE THIS IS NISSAN CAR DEFECT I WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. CURRENTLY I DON'T HAVE ANY CAR AND I DID NOT FIX MY CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT NISSAN WILL FIX THIS. FINALLY ON FEB 09, 2008, I RECEIVED LETTER FROM NISSAN SAYING THIS IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM SO THEN CAN NOT HELP ME ON THIS PROBLEM. I AM WORRY ABOUT THOUSANDS OF NISSAN DRIVER ON THE ROAD AND THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE AND CAN BE A BIG ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO GET HELP FROM YOU ON THIS ISSUE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO. IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. THANKS AND HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU. NIMESH PATEL *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 2 PREVIOUS HORNS PUT INTO MY 2005 SENTRA FOUR DOOR CAR. THIS LATEST ONE HAS NOT BEEN IN THAT LONG AND IT DOES NOT WORK. IT GIVES A BEEP AND THEN IT IS GONE. I NEED A HORN THAT WORKS IN CONGESTED NEW JERSEY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WASTE MY TIME GOING THERE AND I DON'T THINK THE DEALERSHIP IS DOING ANYTHING AT ALL TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. *TR

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
INSUFFICIENT HEADREST FOAM COVERAGE. FOAM DEGRADES OR SELF MOVES OUT OF POSITION TO REVEAL INTERNAL METAL FRAME WHICH RUNS ACROSS ENTIRE HEADREST AT POINT OF HEAD IMPACT. PART DOES NOT SEEM SERVICEABLE FOR REPAIR, AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY MANUFACTURER WITH UPDATED VERSION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT ARE BOTH TRIGGERED TOO EASILY BY TOO MANY SENSORS, SO VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY IN SHOP WITH NO TROUBLE FOUND. SEEMS LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED BY AN OVERLY-WORRIED CAR MANUFACTURER, OR FOR THE PURPOSES OF MAKING OWNERS FEEL THE CAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT ALSO GREATLY INCREASES THE LIKELY HOOD OF FAILING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION. THE SAFETY ISSUE STEMS FROM ALL THE BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE DASH WHICH ARE VERY DISTRACTIVE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, AND USUALLY COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. IN 1996, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR INSUFFICIENT BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATION ON THE SENTRA MODEL. NISSAN'S FIX FOR THIS WAS A BRIGHTER BULB. SINCE MY CAR WAS BOUGHT USED, AND THE PRIOR OWNER DID NOT UPGRADE TO THE NEW BULBS, AND THERE IS NO LISTING FOR THE REPLACEMENT BULBS, OWNER'S MAY NOT KNOW HOW TO UPGRADE THEIR BRAKE LIGHTS. NISSAN DEALERS DO NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHAT BULB TO REPLACE IT WITH FOR BETTER ILLUMINATION. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS THERE ARE MANY 1996 NISSAN SENTRAS ON THE ROAD TODAY. *TR
