I purchased a Nissan vehicle that was represented as reliable and safe. Considering I’m a single mother also still young enough to wanna live not be on the highway and have my car declined speed and a tractor trailer almost hit me like that’s already happened. This is a known problem. Yeah I can’t get any help However, the vehicle has ongoing transmission problems that significantly impact its drivability and safety. Upon reviewing the paperwork, I discovered the vehicle was previously with a salvage company, a fact that was not disclosed to me at the time of purchase. This lack of transparency is unacceptable and has caused me considerable distress and unexpected repair costs. I am requesting Nissan’s urgent attention to this matter, including a thorough investigation into the vehicle’s history and any potential recalls or service bulletins related to these transmission issues. As a consumer, I expect better disclosure and support from Nissan, especially regarding vehicles with known defects or salvage histories. I urge you to take responsibility and help resolve this matter promptly to ensure customer safety and trust. Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious concern.

To Whom It May Concern, I’m writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment with Nissan over the CVT failure in my 2011 Nissan Sentra. There are no active recalls listed for my vehicle, yet I’m experiencing the same transmission failure thousands of others have reported—jerking, hesitation, loss of power, and check engine codes P1778 and P0776. I purchased this car 3–4 months ago as a single mother trying to rebuild my life. I chose this vehicle specifically because I thought it would be a dependable, affordable option to get back on my feet. Instead, I’m now stuck with a car that’s barely driveable, a dangerous transmission, and no support. It feels like punishment for trying to do things the right way. I understand warranties expire, but Nissan is a million-dollar company, and the CVT transmission issues are a known and ongoing defect. You should not continue to profit while customers are left stranded and burdened with thousands in repairs due to faulty engineering. It’s not just inconvenient—it’s harmful. This kind of failure makes life significantly harder for people who are already struggling. I’ve contacted Consumer Affairs. I was disconnected mid-call and haven’t received help opening a case. I now need reliable transportation to care for my child and maintain the progress I’ve worked so hard for. I’m requesting that Nissan review this case and offer some form of goodwill assistance or reimbursement. I should not have to choose between feeding my family and fixing a transmission that should have never failed this early. Please take responsibility. Do better for the people who trusted your brand.

I was driving at low speed 20 mph , stopped at the stop sign , when I pressed acceleration the vehicle did not respond . I checked Dash and I could see all engine warnings light up. I switched off the vehicle and started again it started back with no issues and started running again. The vehicle sounds normal .there was no engine related warnings afterwards.

I was in the highway at about 60 mph and the air bag light came on also the check engine light and I heard a sound and my car lost power I was able to get to the side lane then when it stopped all the way I started the car but would not go pass 30 mph and would barely go on reverse took it to mechanic they said it was the transmission tried to charge me $ 4,700 haven’t drove it since

Getting a airbag control module open code.

I am having issues with registering car due to failed emissions for the Mass Air Flow Sensor as well as the CVT light that comes on while driving. The CVT light pops on out of no where which makes the car shake and not want to move too well. To be driving on freeway and have this happen would be very dangerous if not fatal.

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled with the traction control and check engine warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the catalytic converter was replaced; however, the failure persisted. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

The Airbag Light, came on a few months ago. UNKNOWN why or exact date. Air Bag inspection, has outrageous cost, to just diagnose why it's on. I have never had a issue with air bags with this car or another car. This is uncommon. Especially with, No Car Incidents.

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the driver's side seat fractured. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was determined that the seat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 147,000.

driving on the freeway an car just couldn't pull it literally stopped had to pullover in I was strained for hours

I was driving my car to work between 9 and 10pm on/around February 5, 2023. I lost control of my car and it couldn’t brake. I couldn’t have been hit if it was rush hour or ran into a car or someone. I turned to a around on the right to get out of traffic. The road had a little hill, I started to slide down the hill. I took my car to Nissan in Monroeville PA. When I picked my car back they had wrong VIN number and Year for my car. They said they scan the VIN not type it so the at wasn’t a typo. I am concerned that they said they changed codes and no main issues and mentioned some issues but the documentation was all wrong about a car with a VIN and Year that isn’t mine and under my family information. I am concerned about if my car is okay, and why Nissan gave me wrong VIN with two wrong errors in the numbers and letters and wrong year and they also might or might not have fixed problem. They said my car was 2008 but it’s 2011. I am concerned about if my car was fixed for the problem i took it on for and also if it was manipulated with old parts because it is not 2008. I went to the police in Monroeville PA they helped me find correct VIN. I bought my car at Subaru and they said my car VIN is as they said and is 2011. Did Nissan fix my car? I don't trust they did if documentation of VIN and Year are wrong, I’m now concerned about fraud possibilities. I took my car to Nissan Feb 15. It started to work fine on Feb 5 when I restarted it but I needed them to check why it didn’t work that night; until I restarted it. They said it might be coding which they fixed.

I WENT ON A ROAD TRIP THAT WAS 240 MILES EACH WAY. WE WERE ABOUT HALF WAY WHEN YOU BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS. I REALIZED THE CAR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS AT THAT HALF WAY POINT BECAUSE IT WAS JERKING ,CLANKING, STALKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY CAR COULD ONLY GO 60MPH ON THE WAY HOME ON I-15. PEOPLE WERE FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS AND RIDING MY ASS. I EVENTUALLY HAD TO GET OFF THE NEAREST EXIT, IN PAYSON UTAH, JUST MAKE SURE I WOULD BE OKAY. NORMALLY MY CAR GETS ABOUT 36MPG ON THE FREEWAY BUT IT WAS GETTING ABOUT 20MPG ON THE WAY HOME. INITIALLY I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SERVICE MECHANIC SHOP AND THEY CHANGED THE FLUID CHARGED ME $286.00 AND THEY RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION SHOP TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP MECHANIC DIAGNOSED BAD INTERNAL PARTS IN THE TRANSMISSION. WITH ESTIMATED REPAIRS OF $3500.00. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS BEEN 120,140 MILES. IT BROKE DOWN 04/18/2021

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 92K MILES. STARTED TO "KICK" ON THE HIGHWAY AND BY THE TIME WE GOT HOME IT'S TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

THE CAR CHARGER REFUSES TO ADHERE TO A CAR CHARGER THAT CAME AS AN ACCESSORY WITH A CELL PHONE PACKAGE.BUT MY PHONE CAR CHARGER WORKS FOR ANY OTHER RANDOM C- CHARGER THAT MY CELL PHONES USES

HAVING ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. ABS BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY. HAVE TO STOP AND TURN OFF CAR AND ALL LIGHTS. PUSH THE ABS LIGHT BUTTON AND START CAR AGAIN TO REPEAT. HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. CAR HAS STOPPED TWICE ON ITS ON WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED. WAS DRIVING FROM OUT OF TOWN ON BACK ROADS AND HAD TO STOP ABOUT EVERY 10 MINUTES TO STOP AND TURN OFF CAR. NOTICE IT WAS WORSE THAN BEFORE. DIFFERENCE IN ROADS FROM HOME. ROADS I WAS ON WERE SEVERAL WINDING ROAD. DID NOT GOT BETTER EVEN IF I DROVE SLOWLY.

LIKE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I AM READING I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY VDC OFF LIGHT WILL APPEAR AND MY CAR WILL START JERKING AND HAVE TROUBLE ACCELERATING, I THEN HAVE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT MY CAR OFF FOR A FEW, THIS LUCKILY HAS ONLY HAPPENED TO ME IN THE CITY AS AFTER IT HAPPENED I WAS TOO WORRIED TO TAKE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. WITH THIS MANY ISSUES/COMPLAINTS NISSAN REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE IT COSTS SOMEONE THEIR LIFE

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2016, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN OCTOBER (APPROXIMATELY 60,000-70,000 MILES) WHEN TEMP DROPPED BELOW 55 DEGREES. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, CODE READ P0101. FIND NISSAN HAS POSTED A BULLETIN ON THIS.FOLLOWED ALL GUIDELINES. HE CLEANED THE MAF SENSOR. LIGHT WENT OFF. NEXT, DAY LIGHT COMES BACK ON. GO BACK, HAVE SENSOR REPLACED. LIGHT COMES BACK ON. CHECKS FOR VACUUM LEAKS, CHANGE AIR FILTER BLOW OUT AIR BOX AND SURROUNDING COMPONENTS. LIGHT STILL ON. TAKE CAR FOR A DIAGNOSIS EVERY FEW MONTHS TO ENSURE ITS STILL THE SAME THING AND NOTHING ELSE. NO PROBLEM WITH CARS DRIVABILITY. FAST FORWARD TO 2019, VDC/ ABS LIGHTS COME ON. CALL NISSAN, TELL ME THEY CANT HELP BECAUSE MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. NISAN HAS POSTED BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE FOLLOW ALL GUIDELINES FOR REPAIRS VIA THEIR BULLETIN, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE $700 WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. LIGHTS GO OFF. BUT THAT STARTED A NEW ISSUE. MY VDC/ABS LIGHTS WILL SPONTANEOUSLY COME ON CAUSING MY CAR TO JERK VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 20-30MPH (OR 2,500 RPM) CAUSING ME TO STOP DEAD IN TRAFFIC, PARK THE CAR, TAKE THE KEY OUT (IT MUST BE OUT!), WAIT A FEW SECONDS, TURN IT BACK ON. FAST FORWARD TO THIS WEEK (3/2/20) MY CAR STALLS OUT GOING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN TO SEMIS. EVERYTHING JUST SHUTS DOWN. I LITERALLY ALMOST DIED. CALL NISSAN AND THEY TELL ME, MY CAR ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL, OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY, NOTHING WE CAN DO. GO TO NISSAN DEALER. THEY WANT TO CHARGE $150 TO DIAGNOSE. SO I WENT ELSEWHERE, GOT IT DIAGNOSED FOR FREE HAD MAF CLEANED, NEW AIR FILTER, CODES RESET. LIGHT GOES OFF. DRIVING HOME, CAR STALLS AGAIN AT 70 MPH. NO LIGHTS ON DASH. HAVE CODES READ IMMEDIATELY, NO CODES. NOTHING. WAKE UP, DRIVE TO SCHOOL, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, IMMEDIATELY STALLS ON HIGHWAY. IMMEDIATELY HAVE DOES READ: THREE P0101 CODES IN ROW. I LITERALLY FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL KAY NISSAN LOCATED AT (1601 OGDEN AVE, DOWNERS GROVE, IL 60515) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT A CASE NUMBER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,200.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: BATTERY: CABLES - NISSAN SENTRA 2011 - MY CAR WAS RUNNING WELL FOR ALL THESE YEARS, NO PROBLEMS AT ALL, BUT ONE DAY, DIDN'T WANT TO START, IT DIDN'T MAKE NO NOISE, NOTHING. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE BATTERY RIGHT AWAY, IT WAS A LITTLE BIT LOOSE AND HE ADJUSTED IT. THE CAR WANTED TO START BUT NEVER DID COMPLETELY. THE TOW GUY SAID IT LOOKED LIKE THE KEY WAS DEPROGRAMMED SO WE WERE HOPING IT WAS JUST THAT. SO WE TOWED THE CAR TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. IT COSTED MORE THAN $2,000 DOLLARS TO GET IF FIXED. SEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN SENTRA'S 2010-2011 HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. THE ARTICLE SAYS: (DUE TO A MACHINING IRREGULARITY, THE BOLT/WASHER SURFACE ON THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL CABLE END MAY ALLOW FOR A GAP TO OCCUR IN THE CONTACT AREA OF THE TERMINAL. THIS CAN RESULT IN A VOLTAGE DROP THAT MAY CAUSE DIFFICULTY STARTING THE VEHICLE AND COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR! WE TALKED TO THE NISSAN MANAGER ABOUT IT, BUT HE DIDN'T HONOR THE RECALL, SINCE MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE THIS RECALL WHEN I APPLY THE VIN#. HE GAVE US A PHONE # TO CALL: 1800 NISSAN1, SO I HOPE THEY CAN REIMBURSE THE MONEY WE PAID FOR IT. PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS, REPORT IT, SO THEY CAN SEE THERE IS MORE VEHICLES AFFECTED THAT DON'T QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL AND I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR BECAUSE IT IS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE. THANK YOU!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY INTERSTATE CAR STARTED BUCKING AND NOT ACCELERATING WHEN I PUT FOOT ON GAS. I WAS ALONE AND IT WAS DARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I WAS SO SCARED. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I SAW A VDC LIGHT WAS ON AND THAT HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I CHECKED THE DASHBOARD AND SAW THE VDC BUTTON AND TRIED PRESSING IT AND NOTHING HELPED. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER, VERY UPSET, I LOOKED ONLINE ON MY PHONE AND SOMEONE RECOMMENDED TO TURN CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN RESTART IT. THAT SEEMED TO HELP SO I WENT ON MY WAY. I SEE MANY OTHERS SAYING THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. MAYBE THIS SHOULD BE SERIOUSLY LOOKED INTO AND POSSIBLY A RECALL ON IT.2018

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

THE VEHICLE STALLS AFTER RUNNING FOR A FEW MINUTES AT FIR NOW STALLS WHEN STOPPED AT RED LIGHT AND WHILE MAKING A TURN AND WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN SENTRA 2011 WITH AN APPROX SPEED OF 35 MPH AND THEN SUDDENLY HEARD SOME NOISE FROM THE BONNET. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR BUT STILL ABLE TO HEAR SOUND COMING FROM THE ABS MODULE. I TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND HE SUGGESTED TO CHECK FOR THE RECALL AS LIGHT FOR VDC,ABS & BRAKE TURNED ON. I CHECKED WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY SAID THEY DONT HAVE ANY INFORMATION WITH MY VIN# FOR ANY RECALL. I AM SURPRISED TO SEE THIS AS THE CAR DIDNT MEET ANY ACCIDENT WHEN ALL THIS HAPPEN. NISSAN AUTHORISED CENTER DID DIAGNOSTIC AFTER CHARGING $244 JUST TO COME OUT THAT ABS ACTUATOR(47660-9AA1A) NEED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WILL FURTHER COST ME ABOUT $1900. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO COVER UP THIS COST AS THIS SEEMS TO BE COMPLETELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE UNDER A CAMPAIGN.

ON SUNDAY, SEPT 22 2019 AT AROUND 1:40PM WE WERE HEADED HOME FROM AN VACATION AT A CABIN RENTAL PROPERTY IN SEVIERVILLE, TN. NOT EVEN QUARTER MILE FROM OUR CABIN ON A STRAIGHT AND DOWN HILL ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKES STOPPED FUNCTIONING. I APPLIED BRAKES MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THE CAR DIDN'T STOP AND IN ORDER TO AVOID A SMALL POND ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND THE CAR IN FRONT I HAD TO DIVERT MY CAR ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. AS I HIT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL BUSTED AND THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPPED FURTHER AT THE UP HILL. I DON'T KNOW IF THE BRAKES FAILED AND/OR THE ABS AND/OR THE ONBOARD COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONED. I DID SEE ABS AND VDC LIGHTS SIGN COMING ON THE DASHBOARD FOR AT LEAST 2 HOURS BEFORE DISAPPEARING ON ITS OWN. ALSO SINCE THEN THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGN HAS NEVER GONE OFF. THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGNS BLINKS FOR A LITTLE WHILE EVERY TIME START THE CAR AND THEN GETS STEADY. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN SAFETY CONCERN TO ME AS I STILL CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW WOULD THE CAR DO NOTHING EVEN AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES SO MANY TIMES. WITH AN 2011 MODEL AND ONLY 56000 MILES ON IT I WOULD NEVER EXPECT SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN. SO SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW AS WE HAVE AN TWO YEAR OLD WHO WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT & MY WIFE GOT AN MINOR INJURY TO HER LEFT ELBOW. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO NISSAN BY CALLING 800-647-7261 ON SEPT 24 2019 AND HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM SINCE THAN.

"TAKATA RECALL", CAR HAS DAYS WHERE IT WON'T START DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE ECM MODULE. I BOUGHT THE CAR LIKE THAT AND WHEN IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY AND WE SWITCHED OUT THE BATTERY, HOWEVER A MONTH LATER IT DID THE SAME THING. I NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE BATTERY TERMINAL THAT MAY EFFECT THE ECM ON SOME MODERN VEHICLES, HOWEVER WHEN I TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEY SAID BASED ON MY VIN NUMBER MY VEHICLE ISN'T AFFECTED. MY CAR IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATES, SO I BELIEVE THAT MY VIN NUMBER NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL LIST.

ALL IGNITION COILS AND SPARK PLUGS ARE FAILING AFTER 2 MONTHS OF BEING REPLACED. $700 WAS PAID BACK ON MAY 20, 2019 TO REPLACE ALL COILS AND SPARK PLUGS. ENGINE MISFIRED AGAIN THE OTHER DAY AND SAME ISSUE DIAGNOSED WITH COIL/PLUG FAILURE! THERE IS AN UNDERLYING ISSUE THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO HAVE ADDRESSED WITHIN ENGINE AS SOMETHING IS CAUSING THE COILS TO CONTINUALLY MISFIRE! MY CAR WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT THE OTHER DAY ON SUNDAY WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO BUCK WILDLY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING ON.

WE PUT OUR VIN INTO THE RECALL DATABASE AND IT DID NOT COME BACK AS BEING ONE OF THE CARS AFFECTED. HOWEVER, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL: ENGINE STALLING AND HAVING TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED; NO POWER TO ENGINE WHEN STEPPING ON GAS WHILE IN DRIVE. IT HAS BEEN OKAY ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT WILL OFTEN CUT OUT WHEN DRIVING IN CITY, ESPECIALLY WHEN STARTING BACK FROM A START OR ROLLING START. HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY WITH NO PREDICTABILITY OTHER THAN HAS NEVER HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY.

ON JUNE 18 2019 I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH ON THE BELT LINE IN MADISON, WI. WITH MY NEWBORN DAUGHTER. WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED LURCHING, I HAD NO CONTROL. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I WAS AFRAID OF CAUSING IN ACCIDENT. THE BRAKES WERE HARD AND IF I PUSHED ON THE GAS IT STARTED LURCHING OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PULLOVER AND NOTICED THE VOC LIGHT WAS ON. I PUSHED THE VOC BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF. BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF. I CALLED MY FATHER LARRY. HE TOLD ME TO TURN OFF THE CAR WAIT A MINUTE. TURN IT BACK ON. TO SEE IF THE VOC WOULD RESET. IT DID RESET. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES I TAKEN MY CAR INTO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS FOR INSPECTION. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON THIS WEBSITE. HOWEVER MY CAR DOES NOT FALL INTO THE RECALL. WHY? IT AFFECTS STEERING (LACK OF) BRAKES (NON EXISTENT) GAS (CAUSES LURCHING). VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME & MY NEWBORN. NOT TO MENTION THOSE AROUND ME. MY CAR HAS 115,000 MILES.

FAN IS RUNNING INSIDE CAR BLOWING OUT HOT AIR DESPITE THE DIAL BEING TURNED TO OFF. NOW WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN, THERE'S A STRONG BURNING SMELL EMITTING FROM THE INSIDE OF CAR. WHEN THE FAN TURNED ON FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON, I WAS DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AGAIN TODAY WHEN THE BURNING SMELL STARTED AS WELL. NOW WHEN I GO TO TURN CAR ON, IT IS HAVING ISSUES STARTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD NOT RESTART OCCASIONALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 11V579000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 10V555000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER (94 NISSAN OF SOUTH HOLLAND, (708) 333-2000, LOCATED AT 16269 VAN DAM RD, SOUTH HOLLAND, IL 60473) DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

THE DASHBOARD LIGHT FLICKERED FOR AWHILE AND NOW DOES NOT LIGHT UP AT ALL. I AM UNABLE TO SEE THE GAS GAUGE, MILEAGE OR TEMPERATURE. THE DOORS NO LONGER UNLOCK WHEN I TURN OFF THE IGNITION NOR DOES THE BEEPER SOUND THAT MY HEADLIGHTS ARE STILL ON WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALER TWICE WITH THIS AND THEY WERE NOT BE ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THEY DID FIND A PAPER THAT DESCRIBED THIS SITUATION AS A PROBLEM ON THE 2011 NISSAN SENTRA.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, WHEN I ACCELERATED ON THE GAS IT THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND IT WOULDN'T LET ME GET PAST 40 MPH. AFTER I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FASTER THAN 20 MPH BEFORE IT STARTED JERKING. I CALLED A MCCLARTY NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN NORTH LITTLE ROCK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE DID NOT AFFECT MY CAR EVEN THOUGH YOUR WEBSITE DOES WHEN I LOOK IT UP BY THE VIN LIKE THEY DID.

THIS CAR IS STALLING VERY BAD IT HAPPENS EVERY NOW AN THEN BUT IT FEELS LIKE IS GOING TO DIE IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AN ALSO WHEN PARK. WHEN DRIVING IT DIES AN THAT'S DANGEROUS IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS

DRIVING DOWN OFF RAMP AND CAR JUST SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START.

IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND NO INVESTIGATION OR ACTION HAS BEEN DONE BY THE NHTSA YET. AS OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED BEFORE, I HAVE HAD MOMENTS WHERE MY CAR WOULD HAVE THE VDC LIGHT GO OFF AND THE CAR WOULD BEGIN TO NOT ACCELERATE OVER 2,000 RPMS AND WOULD SHAKE THE CAR IN A VIOLENT MANNER. I HAVE HAD ERROR CODES P0101 AND P0725 COME UP AND DISSAPEAR THROUGH A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS. I HAVE HAD TO INSTALL A NEW OEM MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR TO TRY TO FIX P0101 AND IT HAS RETURNED ON AND OFF. THE CAR HAS BEEN ACTING MUCH WEAKER THAN BEFORE AND WOULD HAVE LOTS OF HESITATION WHENEVER YOU WOULD GIVE IT ANY GAS. I HAVE TRIED TO SEARCH ONLINE TO FIX THIS BUT HAVE COME UP WITH NO DEFINITE ANSWER. I JUST WANT MY CAR TO BE RELIABLE AND THAT IS WHAT I EXPECTED WHEN THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED YET FOR IT TO START FAILING BEFORE THE 100K MARK, IT SHOWS HOW DEFECTIVE NISSAN PRODUCTS ARE. I HAVE PUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX IT ONLY TO FIND OUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED.A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS. GUARANTEED LAST TIME I WILL BUY A NISSAN FOR SURE.

I HAD AN ACCIDENT, I WAS STUCK BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND THE BAG LIGHTS, EVAPORATION SENSORS, AND GASOLINE WENT IN TO TAKE IT TO THE CAR AGENCY AND THEY WARNED ME THAT IT IS OKAY BUT TODAY THE VEHICLE INSPECTION OF THE STATE DOES NOT PASS

I'M DRIVING NORMAL ON THE ROAD WITH NO CONDENSATION ON ROADWAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE "VDC OFF" INDICATOR LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR LOOSES SPEED AND JERKS. I PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. TURN CAR COMPLETELY OFF. WAIT A FEW MINUTES TO TURN CAR BACK ON. CAR MAY OPERATE NORMALLY FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN AGAIN THE "VDC OFF" LIGHT IS BACK ALONG WITH THE JERKING. I CAN BE EITHER ON THE HIGHWAY (WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS) OR DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS. WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR EVEN BACKING OUT MY DRIVEWAY I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE "VDC OFF". WHEN I AM STATIONARY AFTER TURNING MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, SOMETIME IT IS STILL ON AND THECRPM IS REVVING UP AND DOWN. MY FOOT IS NEITHER ON THE BRAKE OR THE GAS PEDAL. THIS LAST TIME 3/11/2019. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS OFF AND ON STARTING SINCE JANUARY 2019.

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WHEN IT WAS ONLY 20K MILES { 2 YEARS WITH WARRANTY}. THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM AND I WAS NOT HAPPY. ON 3RD YEAR (BEFORE 3 YEARS OR 36 MONTHS EXPIRATION DATE), I SENT IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUE (NO ACTION OR ANYTHING BEEN FIXED). IT KEEP HAPPENING AND I HAD TO SEND IT BACK AGAIN TO RECHECK WHEN IT WAS 50K. AND NOW IT'S 80K MILES AND THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I KEEP CALLING NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND ASKING FOR ADVICES. THEY CAN NOT HELP ME OR FIX IT. I WAS ALMOST GOT HIT FEW TIMES WHEN I DROVE THIS NISSAN

CAR HAS 75,000 MILES. JUST HAD IT SERVICED. THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON, THEN NEXT START, THEY ARE OFF. THE CAR STALLS ON EVERY TURN AND STEERING FREEZES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED DRIVING, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VALLEJO NISSAN (LOCATED AT 3287 SONOMA BLVD, VALLEJO, CA 94590, (707) 656-4483) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

SINCE AN FRONT END ACCIDENT MY AIRBACK DIDN'T DEPLOY AND WHEN MY BODY SHOP REVIEWED THE REPAIR, STATED MY AIR BAG MODULE IS BROKEN SO I DIDN'T HAVE WORKING AIRBAGS TO START.

"TAKATA RECALL" STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCK AND IS STOPPING THE CAR FROM STARTING. WENT OUT TO START THE CAR AT THE STORE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT LOCKED AND THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN TO START THE CAR. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED.

CVT TRANSMISSION WHINES AND APPEARS TO BE SLIPPING WHEN GOING UPHILL - THE RPMS INCREASE BUT THE CAR IS NOT GOING FASTER. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS/120K MILES FOR 2004-2010 CVTS. UNFORTUNATELY, MINE IS A 2011.

DURING A TRIP FROM WIS. TO FLORIDA MY SON'S USED 2011 WITH APPROX. 110.000 MILES DEVELOPED A WHINING NOISE THAT FLUCTUATED AS THE CAR ACCELERATED AND DECELERATED. CAR ALSO SEEMS TO LOSE POWER.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND THE WHOLE CAR SHUT OFF, WHILE I WAS IN DRIVE. MY BATTERY WAS CORRODED AND SO WE THOUGHT THAT WAS THE ISSUE AND CHANGED THE BATTERY AND THE PROBLEM WORSENDED UP UNTIL YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS RIDING TO WORK, I ARRIVED AT A STOP LIGHT AND BEFORE THE LIGHT EVEN TURNED RED THE WHOLE CAR SHUT OFF AND LOCKED UP. THE BATTERY IS NEW, OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED HAT SAME DAY AS THE AIR FILTER AND THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR WERE CHANGED. THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR WAS CHANGED BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS WHY MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE VERY DAY THE SAME ISSUES OCCURRED AND THE WHOLE CAR STOPPED AND DID NOT START AGAIN. PRIOR TO THIS, MY CAR SAT FOR A FEW DAYS, LIKE ANY CAR DOES ON THE WEEKEND AND I NEEDED A JUMP THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY NIGHT AND AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY, THE PROBLEMS WORSENED AND AS I WAS DRIVING, IF I TURNED SLIGHTLY OR MADE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, MY SKIP CONTROL WOULD COME ON AND STAY ON AND I DRIVE ROUTINELY SO I KNEW IT WAS A NEW PROBLEM. WHEN I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, THE SLIP CONTROL WOULD COME ON OR IN REVERSE, THE SLIP CONTROL WOULD COME ON OR THE WHOLE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF IN THAT GEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING OVER 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND THE VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,901.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER AFTER COUPLE OF HOURS OF DRIVING ON RELATIVELY HOT DAYS. HAD VEHICLE EXAMINED BY DEALER ADVISED I NEEDED A "TRANSMISSION COOLER" BECAUSE TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING AND NOT GETTING ENOUGH AIR. ADVISED VEHICLE COMPUTER REGISTERED OVER 82 INSTANCES OF TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING. WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURS VEHICLE ENTERS "LIMP" MODE. VEHICLE WILL NOT PRODUCE MORE THAN 2500 RPMS. RECENTLY OCCURRED ON INTERSTATE 40 IN TN. CLIMBING LARGE HILL CAR WOULD NOT MAINTAIN SPEED. DEALER ADVISED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE DESIGN OF TRANSMISSION AND ADVISED BY NISSAN TO FIX PROBLEM INSTALL A TRANSMISSION COOLER WHICH COSTS $1,400.

MALFUNCTION OF THE STEERING, I WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I DON'T HAVE ANY STEERING! VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I MAKE A TURN ITS HAPPEN TO ME NO STEERING. PS LIGHT COMES ON, ON A BUSY INTERSECTION

THERE IS TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE WHEN DRIVEN IN EXCESS OF 2 HOURS. IT APPEARS TO OVERHEAT AND WILL NOT DRIVE IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND I DID OPEN A CASE WITH NISSAN WHO REFUSES TO COVER THE REPAIR. NISSAN CASE # 31337703. NISSAN DOUBLED THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ON MODELS 2003 - 2010 AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE BUT IS REFUSING THE STAND BEHIND THIS ONE WHICH WAS PRESUMABLY MADE IN 2010. PROBLEM FIRST NOTICED A YEAR AGO AND 2 MECHANICS COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AS IT HAS TO BE DRIVEN A LONG TIME TO HEAT UP. IT IS ONLY ON LONG TRIPS THAT THIS HAPPENS. NISSAN REQUESTED WE TAKE IT TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND AFTER 6 HOURS (AND $150 CHARGE) THEY SAID IT HAD THE INCORRECT TRANSMISSION FLUID. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND NEVER CHANGED OR AUTHORIZED ANYONE TO CHANGE IT SO THAT IS A FALSE STATEMENT. I WAS CHASTISED FOR NOT VISITING A DEALER IN 5 YEARS... MY RESPONSE WAS IF IT IS NOT BROKE WHY FIX IT? THIS VEHICLE IS NOW USED FOR PRIMARILY LONG ROAD TRIPS TO SCHOOL AND IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT NISSAN KNOWS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPORTED ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION BUT WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ONE. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO NISSAN AND ESCALATED MY APPEAL AS HIGH AS THE EXECUTIVE SPECIALIST WHO WOULD NOT CONSIDER STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. SENT A FEW E-MAILS TO MANAGEMENT (CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE) WHICH HAVE GONE IGNORED. WILL BE DISPUTING THE CREDIT CARD CHARGE FOR 'DIAGNOSIS' AS THAT WAS A 6 HOUR WAIT FOR THEM TO DO NOTHING MORE THEN LOOK AT THE FLUID AND ACCUSE US OF CHANGING IT TO AN UNSUPPORTED FLUID. GIVEN THE KNOWN DESIGN AND RELIABILITY ISSUES WITH THIS PART I SIMPLY REQUEST NISSAN TO COVER THE COST OF REPLACEMENT TO WHICH THEY REFUSE, CAUSING A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THIS CAR IS DRIVEN. IN CITY DRIVING IT WORKS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES.

AT RANDOM TIMES THE VDC OFF INDICATOR WILL TURN ON WHILE DRIVING. IT CAN NOT BE TURNED OFF AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOUR CAR TO GO OVER 40 MPH WITHOUT CONSTANT JERKING. YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER, SHUT DOWN AND RESTART YOUR CAR MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL THE INDICATOR DOESN'T COME BACK ON. SOME TIMES THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE AND WILL NEVER GO AWAY UNTIL CAR HAS BEEN SHUT OFF FOR AN HOUR OR SO. THIS CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR EVEN AT A STOP LIGHT, THE INDICATOR WILL COME ON AND THE JERKING WILL BEGIN. VERY DANGEROUS.

MY VEHICLE TURNS OFF BY ITSELF AND BLACK SMOKE COMES OUT OF THE MUFFLER.THE CAR BRAKES ARE ACTING WEIRD. THE CAR OVERHEATS

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, JERKS, AND HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING. THE RPM JUMPING UP AND DOWN WHAT IS GOING ON HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE ABOUT THE WHINING NOISE AND THE RPM...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO NISSAN OF VAN NUYS (5425 VAN NUYS BLVD, SHERMAN OAKS, CA) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000. *TT

CAR RUNS FINE, ALL OF A SUDDEN, SKIPS INTO THE TRACTON CONTROL MODE AND VEHICLE SLOWES TO AROUND 10 MPH. CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. DASH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON . CAR CANNOT CONTINUE. AFTER STOPPING, SHUT ENGINE OFF, CAR WILL RUN FINE, THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. SAFETY ISSUE, TRAVELING AT 40 MPH AND HAVE YOUR ENGINE SHUT DOWN. NO WARNING, JUST HAPPENS.

ABOUT A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR A SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT STARTED TO TURN ON AND OFF, SO I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED AT AUTO ZONE. THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A SENSOR OR SPARK PLUG. THE LIGHT WENT OFF BUT THEN ABOUT A YEAR LATER I WAS DRIVING AND A VDC OFF LIGHT ALONG WITH A TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING, CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK SO MUCH THAT I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I TURN THE CAR BACK ON IT GONE. I STARTED TO SEARCH FOR SIMILAR ISSUES TO SEE IF ANY OTHER NISSAN LIKE MINE WERE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE . I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY RECALLS WHICH THERE ISN'T BUT ONE OF THE RECALLS YOU HAVE LISTED, HAS SIMILAR PROBLEMS TO WHICH IM HAVING. IT'S NOW TO THE POINT WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE FOR SOME REASON IT SHUTS OFF OR IF I BRAKE TO MUCH THE ISSUE WORSENS. PLEASE HELP!

FLAPPING SOUND ON DRIVER SIDE WHEN SPEEDING. MY VEHICLE MAKES A FLAPPING SOUND WHEN I SPEED MORE THAN 65 MPH. I CAN HEAR IT ON THE DRIVER SIDE ONLY. IT CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE. I HAD THE SHOCKS REPLACED AND IT STILL MAKES THE SOUND.

ENGINE TO STALL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND IT WAS NOT BE POSSIBLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE SOON AFTER IT STOPPED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, THE ECM MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THESE SYMPTOMS ARE SIMILAR TO RECALL#10V555000 AND #11V579000.

NISSAN CLAIMS THAT THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES WERE FIXED FOR THE MODEL YEAR 2011 SENTRA BUT THAT IS A LIE. THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AND THEN THE CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT LOOSES ALMOST ALL POWER. NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR MODEL YEARS 2006-2010 TO 120,000 MILES BECAUSE THEY KNEW THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUES THAT STILL EXIST WITH THE 2011 MODEL. I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHICH HAS A WARM CLIMATE AND THE ISSUE NORMALLY MANIFESTS ITSELF AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY. AFTER CAREFUL RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THAT PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN MOUNTAINOUS AREA HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, WHEN THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION STARTED AROUND SEPTEMBER 2015 WHILE GOING ON A 500 MILE TRIP, WE TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN OF POMPANO BEACH UPON OUR RETURN AND THEY TOLD US WE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. WE DIDN'T BELIEVE THEM AT THE TIME BECAUSE WE HAD JUST DRIVEN THE CAR ABOUT 350 MILES AFTER THE PROBLEM STARTED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL WORKING. THE ISSUE SEEM TO ONLY MANIFEST WHEN THE WEATHER WAS REALLY WARM AND THE CAR WAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR SEVERAL MILES. THEREFORE, WE INSTRUCTED THEM TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION OIL AND WENT ON OUR WAY WONDERING IF THAT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. SINCE THEN, THE CAR HAS GONE ANOTHER 15K MILES WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION. SINCE WE HAVE BEEN TAKING SHORTER TRIPS WITH THE CAR THE ISSUE HAD NOT MANIFESTED ITSELF AGAIN UNTIL NOW SO WE TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN IN MIAMI AND AGAIN THEY TOLD US THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. GIVEN ALL THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION, I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD EITHER EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON 2011 MODELS OR AT LEAST MAKE SURE THAT DEALERSHIPS TRY TO INSTALL A TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER TO SEE IF THE CUSTOMERS ISSUE GOES AWAY.

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT THERE AREN'T ENOUGH PARTS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE INFLATOR FOR SEVERAL MONTHS TO A YEAR AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY IF IN AN ACCIDENT.

KEEPS FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD. WENT TO NISSAN TO CLEAR...THEY SAID THEY CLEARED IT ,PUT STILL FLASHING! I CHECKED THE VIN NUMBER ON SAFER.GOV...TOLD ME THE 9TH NUMBER DOES NOT CALCULATE PROPERLY...WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???

I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. AT TIMES, THE ENGINE STALLS AND IT CANNOT GO ABOVE 15-20 MPH, EVEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO LOCKS UP, AS WELL. THE VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL INDICATOR THEN TURNS ON. LUCKILY, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION WHEN THIS HAPPENS, BUT I FIND IT ALARMING. I ALSO THINK THIS DEFECT IS AFFECTING OTHER IMPORTANT COMPONENTS IN MY VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SPORADICALLY FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 50 MPH AND MADE A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER VARIOUS RESEARCH, THE FAILURE WAS TRANSMISSION RELATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SWOPE TOYOTA OF ELIZABETH TOWN, KENTUCKY WHERE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 126,000.

I BOUGHT A USED 2011 NISSAN SENTRA THAT WENT THROUGH A VIGOROUS INSPECTION. 3 DAYS LATER TRANSMISSION STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS. HAD METRO NISSAN REPLACE THE VALVE BODY AND COOLER ASSEMBLY AND MADE NO DIFFERENCE. THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THESES ISSUES

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY HESITATES LOSES POWER AND STALLS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TWO INDEPENDENT NISSAN REPAIR SHOPS THAT THE ECM NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND UPDATED TO THE NEWEST VERSION. BECAUSE OTHER COMPONENTS THAT ARE TIED IN TOGETHER IS CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. AP0101 DIAGNOSTIC CODE STATES THAT THE MAF SENSOR IS BAD. THE MAF SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED, THE GAS TANK CAP HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH AN OEM, ETC. I BELIEVE THAT THE ECM IS NOT COMMUNICATING CORRECTLY WITH THE MAF SENSOR SIGNAL AND IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIME AND I CAN HAVE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE ENGINE STTALLING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I CAN BE SEVERELY REAR ENDED IN THE FREEWAY.

CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, (MY CAR GOT TOTALED) MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY TO PROTECT ME.. I HAD NO PAIN RIGHT AWAY, BUT LATER ON IT GOT SO BAD I CAN'T STAND MY BACK AND NECK PAIN !!!!

RECALL ON BATTERY CABLE IMPACTED ECM AND CAUSED FIRE ON WIEINGOF CAR AND IMPACTED CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND VALVE SOLENOID AND O2 SENSORS AND DAMAGED CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND COULD NOT BE CRANKED OR RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HOLDER FUSE LINK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ADDITIONALLY, IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A ROD WENT THROUGH THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V579000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

MY ENGINE BLEW THE MECHANIC SAID IT COULD BE MY TRANSMISSION OR MY HEAD GASKET 3,500 TO FIX

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY APARTMENT PARKING LOT. I WAS IN THE DRIVER SEAT WHEN MY PASSENGER EXCITED THE VEHICLE AND SLAMMED THE DOOR SHUT. MY CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FROM THE FRONT WINDSHIELD TO BED BACK REAR WINDOW. AS WELL AS MY PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG DEPLOYED. NISSAN WOULD NOT AND COULD NOT FIX THE AIRBAGS BECAUSE THE PART A NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED WERE NOT FOUND. JAPANESE CAR SHOPS WOULD NOT FIX THEM BECAUSE IT WAS A LIABILITY ON THEM AND FEARED THEM DEPLOYING AGAIN. LAWYERS WOULDN'T TAKE THE CASE BECAUSE THE DAMAGE WASN'T WORTH THEIR TIME. AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD NOT COVER THE DAMAGES BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR COLLISON. FOR OVER A YEAR AND HALF I DROVE A TOTALED CAR AROUND WITH MY YOUNG INFANT THAT DID NOT HAVE AN AIR BAG SYSTEM IN IT NOW WHAT DO EVER BECAUSE THE SENSORS BLEW WHEN THIS OBSCURED AND THEN HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET WHICH I DIDN'T HAVE TO GET RID OF THE CAR AND ROLL OVER MY NEGATIVE EQUITY FROM THIS VEHICLE.

THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWN SHIFT TO LOWER SPEED 60MPH IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPEN ABOUT 3 TIMES. IF THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS 85 DEGREES OR ABOVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATS CAUSING A SENSOR TO DOWN SHIFT TRANSMISSION. NOW THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT HAS TURNED ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WAS INFORMED I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION. READ ONLINE COMPLAINS ABOUT CVT TRANSMISSION ON NISSAN VEHICLES IS A BIG PROBLEM.

2011 NISSAN SENTRA WITH 80,000 MILES AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS MAKING A HIGH PITCH NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. IT INCREASES IN RPM BUT DOESN'T INCREASE POWER. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS BUT REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT IF THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS AND MANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR EARLIER MODELS BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR NEWER ONES. WHEN I CALLED AND OPENED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THEY CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD ME THERE WOULD BE NO ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN AND AS FAR AS THEY WERE CONCERNED THE CASE WAS CLOSED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THE VEHICLE TECH SAID HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE CVT GOING BAD. HE SAID THEY HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH CVT'S AND HIS OPINION WAS HE WOULDN'T OWN ONE

WE DRIVING OUT OF STATE AND WHEN THE CLIMB STARTED THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND WAS DRIVING ONLY 25 MILES AN HOUR.

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, WHERE MY CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE SEAT BELTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE DID NOT LOCK ONCE MY CAR WAS HIT BY THE OTHER VEHICLE WHO CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. THIS CAUSED MY BROTHER THE DRIVER TO GO FORWARD. ALSO THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STRUCK. CAUSING MORE HARM AND WORSE INJURIES, BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING TO KEEP MY BROTHER FROM GOING FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING STILL WAITING TO TURN, WHEN IT WAS STRUCK BY A TRUCK THAT FAILED TO BRAKE AND JUST CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR. THE ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE ON A CITY STREET .

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR SOMETIMES THE VDC LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR WILL NOT GO. IT ACTS LIKE IT WILL NOT TAKE THE GAS AND IT DOES NOT WANT TO GO. WE HAVE TRIED TO CUT THE SWITCH OFF BUT COULD NOT. WE HAD TO CUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SET FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN START IT BACK UP AND IT WOULD BE FINE. IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND ITS A REALLY SCARY FEELING WHEN YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT HAPPENS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS AND WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE

DRIVING ALONGON A MAJOR HIGHWAY 301 IN THE STATE OF GEROGIA AND THE CAR CUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART. TOWED TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT BATTERY TERMINAL CAUSED COMPUTER TO MALFUNCTION.

WHEN DRIVING FROM A STOP POSITION THE CAR WILL APPEAR TO HESITATE UPON ACCELERATION. SOME HESITATIONS ARE LONGER THAN OTHERS. IT'S SCARY AS IF THE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE BUT AS OF YET WILL THEN GO.NOT SURE OF THE PROBLEM COMPONENTS RELATED TO THE HESITATION. IT IS INTERMITTENT AS THIS TIME AND NEW TO MY POSSESSION OF THE CAR. I FEAR THE CAR WILL AT SOME POINT NOT GO WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS. SCARY.

THE CAR WAS HIT IN THE DRIVER AND REAR DOOR AT APPROXIMATELY 40MILES PER HOUR. THE SIDE AIRBAG WAS TOO FORCEFUL CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO EYE AND BURNS MARK. WE FEEL THE AIRBAG WAS MORE HARM THAN GOOD, AT THE POINT OF ALMOST LOSING EYESIGHT IN ONE EYE.

ON 03/17/2015, MY CAR STARTED TO HESITATE, THEN IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL POWER WITH NO PRIOR WARNING TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER. I WAS STRANDED IN THE SECOND LANE OVER FROM THE FAST LANE. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME CAME SO CLOSE TO HITTING ME. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IN AN AUTOMOBILE CRASH DRIVING THIS SPEED DURING HEAVY COMMUTE CONDITIONS. I HAD NO PRIOR WARNING, SUCH AS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PRIOR TO THIS. HIGHWAY PATROL AND THE TOW SERVICE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM AAA AND TOWED MY CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION UNTIL AAA ARRIVED .

I AM WANTING TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND NOT SURE HOW. I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA WITH A LITTLE OVER 120,000 MILES AND HAD TO GET A NEW FUEL INJECTOR REPLACED TODAY. MY MECHANIC GAVE ME THE ORIGINAL PART SHOWING THE BACK END AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT ERODED AT THE ELECTRICAL END OF THE INJECTOR WITH NO APPARENT REASON. I BELIEVE THIS IS GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE MANUFACTURER AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW TO GO ABOUT FILING A COMPLAINT TO GET THIS INVESTIGATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A GATE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

THE VISOR ON OUR 2011 NISSAN SENTRA 2.0 S BLOCKS THE VIEW OF OUR REAR VIEW MIRROR. WE CANNOT USE OUR MIRROR SAFELY WITH THE VISOR DOWN. WE HAVE NOT TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE CHECKED. WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY CRASHES OR INJURIES IN OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS, BUT IT IS VERY NERVE WRECKING TRYING TO BACK OUT WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM EVEN TODAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY AS IT INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER MERGING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHE ATTEMPTED TO INSPECT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHEN SHE NOTICED A BURNING ODOR. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER THE VEHICLE EXPLODED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

IN 2007, NISSAN RECALLED MORE THAN 140,000 ALTIMAS DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE RELATED TO THE CARS AIR FILTER. THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE LARGE RECALL. WE OWN A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA, WHICH WE PURCHASED FOR OUR TEENAGE DAUGHTER. ACCORDING TO COURTESY NISSAN IN RICHARDSON, TEXAS, THE CAUSE OF A RECENT VEHICLE BREAK DOWN WITH OUR SENTRA WAS AN AIR FILTER FIRE, WHICH ALSO CAUSED FIRE DAMAGE TO THE AIRBOX. THIS IS THE SAME DEFECT WHICH RESULTED IN NISSAN'S 2007 RECALL. (I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE FIRE-DAMAGED AIR FILTER AND AIRBOX, AS WELL AS THE FIRE-DAMAGED PARTS.) THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS AND UNRESOLVED SAFETY ISSUE, ONE THAT NISSAN PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED AND PROACTIVELY ADDRESSED WITH THE 2007 RECALL. NISSAN CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT HAS DENIED THAT THE ISSUE WITH THE 2007 ALTIMAS IS THE SAME ISSUE WITH OUR 2011 SENTRA, EVEN THOUGH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP STATED CLEARLY TO US IN WRITING THAT THE AIRBOX/AIR FILTER CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE AIR FILTER IN A TWO-YEAR-OLD CAR SHOULDN'T CATCH ON FIRE. AND IT CERTAINLY SHOULDN'T CATCH ON FIRE IF AIR FILTER FIRES IN NISSANS WERE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO RESULT IN A MAJOR RECALL OF NISSAN VEHICLES IN 2007. *TR

THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS RECALL NOTICES ON OLDER NISSAN SENTRA'S ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP BUT DOES NOT APPLY TO MINE. DEALER FOR BOTH INCIDENTS IS MARSHALL AUTOMOTIVE GROUP MARSHALLMOTOR.COM (800) 395-0455 3500 - 3550 S 9TH ST I-135 & WATERWELL RD SALINA, KS 67401

MY SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR NISSAN SENTRA 2011 ON 405 FREEWAY IN THE CARPOOL LANE AT ABOUT 65MPH. THE ENGINE CUT OFF. HE TOLD ME THAT HE TRIED TO GET OVER WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL COASTING BUT THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED IN ONE OF THE LANES. HE PUT ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND CALLED HOME. HE TOLD US THAT THE CAR HAD CUT OFF AND WOULDN'T START BACK UP. HE SAID THAT OTHER CARS WERE JUST FLYING BY AT FAST SPEED. WE TOLD HIM AND HIS FRIENDS TO STAY IN THE CAR WHERE WE FELT IT TO BE SAFER AT THE TIME. THEN HE SAID I AM ABOUT TO GET HIT. FOR MINUTES WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE DRIVER THAT HIT THE REAR OF THE CAR LET MY SON AND 2 OTHER PEOPLE GET IN HIS CAR AND HE DROVE THEM OFF OF THE FREEWAY. MY SON CALLED THE HIGHWAY PATROL AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. HE WAS TOLD THAT THE CHP WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I ARRIVED AT THE LOCATION WHERE MY SON,HIS FRIENDS AND THE DRIVER OF THE CAR THAT HIT HIM WERE WAITING, WE NOTICE A POLICE CAR. THE POLICEMAN SAID HE JUST SAW THEM THERE AND CAME OVER. WHEN CHP FINALLY CAME OVER TO WHERE WE WERE WAITING, THE CHP OFFICERS EXPLAINED TO US THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HIT A SECOND TIME AND THAT TWO PEOPLE WERE CARRIED IN AN AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS PUT ON A TOW TRUCK AND BROUGHT OVER TO WHERE WE WERE ALL WAITING. THE REAR OF THE CAR WAS TOTALLY SMASHED. THERE WAS NO LONGER A BACK SEAT OR TRUNK. WHEN MY SON SAW THE CAR HE WAS GLAD THAT THEY HAD GOTTEN OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE ONE OF HIS FRIENDS WOULD HAVE GOTTEN SMASHED UP IF THEY HAD STAYED IN THE CAR. BY THE WAY, THE CAR WAS NOT OUT OF GAS BECAUSE I FILLED THE TANK UP WITH GAS MYSELF THE PREVIOUS DAY. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,500.

THIS IS 2013 AND MY CAR STILL HAS THIS PROBLEM UNRESOLVED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHICH HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES WHEN THE CAR IS ALMOST UNDRIVEABLE. DRIVING ALONG ON SNOWY ROADS (HAVE NOTICED LESS SIGNIFICANT ISSUES OTHER TIMES SUCH AS GOING INTO 1ST GEAR ON ITS OWN TWICE AND SOME SMALL PULSES HERE AND THERE ) WHEN THE CAR WILL HAVE A PULSE OR CATCH LIKE YOU HAVE QUICKLY STEPPED ON THE BRAKES BUT NO BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON. THE RPMS INCREASE FROM 1500 TO 3000 AND THEN THE CAR STOPS BRIEFLY. LOWER SPEED AND STILL HAPPENS. LEAVING FROM A STOP IS WHEN IT GETS REALLY SCARY. ANY AMOUNT OF GAS PEDAL WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS. ALMOST REAR ENDED A COUPLE TIMES. IT KEEPS STOPPING YOU WHEN YOU TRY TO EVER SO GENTLY GIVE IT SOME GAS AND EVENTUALLY YOU CAN GET IT GOING. THIS BEHAVIOR WILL CONTINUE UNTIL IT WANTS TO STOP IT. TURNING CAR ON AND OFF SOMETIMES HELP AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED LAST 3 TRIPS TO WORK. TAKEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES HAVE BEEN RECORDED. FIRST TIME ADJUSTED SENSOR FOR VDC - MUST NOT HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED FROM FACTORY. SECOND TIME - NO CODES - SAY THEY ADJUSTED SOME OTHER SENSORS. THIRD AND FOURTH TIMES - IF NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES CAN'T DO ANYTHING. CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAITING FOR A SOLUTION. *TR

THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM WITH THE CAR CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE BODILY INJURY. PLEASE RECORD AND COMPARE WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP (AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING) AND THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED GENTEELLY, IT EXPERIENCES SEVERE ROCKING BACK AND FORTH MOTION DURING THE DRIVING. IT UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATES AND THEN UNEXPECTEDLY DECELERATES, OCCASIONALLY TO ALMOST COMPLETE STOP, REPEATEDLY. THE TACHOMETER READING WILL SUDDENLY JUMP TO ABOVE 3000 RPM AND SWIFTLY JUMP BACK DOWN BELOW 1000 --' ALL WITHIN 2-3 SECONDS. THEN IT RETURNS TO NORMAL RANGE AT 1000 -1600 RPM DEPENDS ON AMOUNT OF GAS PEDAL APPLIED. THE CAR ACCELERATES AND DECELERATES IN SYNC WITH THE RPM CHANGES. WHEN THE CAR IS DECELERATING, THE CAR MAKES SQUEAKING NOISE AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED TO THE MAXIMUM. IF THE GAS PEDAL IS CONTINUOUSLY PRESSED AT THE SAME LEVEL, ABOVE SYMPTOMS REPEAT AT UNEVEN INTERVALS, FREQUENTLY IN BETWEEN EVERY 5-10 SECONDS. IF THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED MORE, THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS GET WORSE WITH LARGER RANGE OF RPM CHANGES, LOUDER NOISE, AND MORE SEVERE JERKING. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED WITH THE ENGINE ON, IT IS HARD TO START MOVING AND ACCELERATE -- LACK OF POWER AND THE RPM SUDDENLY JUMPING UP AND DOWN. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, A COIL INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION IS AT FAULT AND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS ASSEMBLED WRONGLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ALARM SYSTEM WOULD SOUND EVERY DAY AT ELEVEN O'CLOCK.

THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 40 MPH, WITH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND THE RPMS WOULD NOT GO PAST 2. AFTER EVERY STOP THE CAR TOOK 2 MINUTES TO GET BACK UP TO 40 MPH. TOOK TO THE SHOP, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE BRAKE PEDAL; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE.

I PURCHASED THE CAR MARCH 14, 2011 AND THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ISSUES WITH MAKING NOISES AND VIBRATING. I RETURN THE VEHICLE THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND DEALERSHIP COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS, BUT REFERRED TO NISSAN SERVICE. ON JULY 29, 2011, MY MOTHER MOVED MY CAR OUT OF A FIRE LINE AT APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH. THE GAS PEDAL WENT WAY TO THE FLOOR AND SHE ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES. AT THAT TIME THE PEDAL TRAVELED MORE THAN 3/4 TO THE FLOOR ALMOST INSTANTLY. SHE DID LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRUSHED INTO A TREE TO STOP THE CAR. SHE NEVER REGAINED THE USE OF THE BRAKES. I DID GO TO THE TOWNG COMPANY AND TOOK PICTURE WHERE THE GAS PEDAL IS STILL IN 3/4 INCH FROM THE FLOOR. DJ

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT AN ENGINEER WAS GOING TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, BUT THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

WHEN THE CAR REACHED 15-20 MPH (THE DOORS LOCK) A RATTLING, CLUNKING NOISE OCCURS IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED AND THAT SPEED IS REACHED. I WAS TOLD FROM THE DEALERSHIP THIS IS NORMAL. *TR

I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA THAT CAUGHT FIRE INSIDE DUE TO SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS NISSAN WONT ADDRESS THE ISSUE SATISFACTORILY I WANT SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS BEING AS THOUGH THEY ARE NOT THE CAR IS BRAND [XXX] NEW AND SHOULDNT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHERE NO ONE IS ABLE TO TELL US WHY IT HAPPENED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE THE INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM WITH THIS CAR. I WAS TOLD WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR THAT IN ORDER TO START THE CAR, MY FOOT MUST BE ON THE BRAKE. YOU CAN PUT THE CAR IN AUXILIARY MODE WITH THE FOOT OFF THE BRAKE BUT IN ORDER TO START THE CAR THE FOOT MUST BE ON THE BRAKE. I DISCOVERED THAT I WAS ABLE TO START MY CAR WITH MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE TO DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM. I WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TOLD THAT WITH MY MODEL CAR I COULD START THE CAR WITH MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I CALLED NISSAN SINCE I WAS GETTING CONFLICTING INFORMATION AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IN FACT I SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO START MY CAR IN THIS MANNER. THEY CREATED A FILE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, FILE #7139963, THEN I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD TAKE MY CAR IN TO ANOTHER DEALER AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE IF OTHER SENTRA OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ALSO OR WHETHER OR NOT THIS COULD BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE (WHICH I WOULD THINK IT COULD BE, ESPECIALLY IF A YOUNG CHILD WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO START THE CAR AND PUT IT IN GEAR) BUT I FIGURED THIS SHOULD BE ON RECORD SINCE ALL NISSAN SUGGESTED WAS THAT I TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER.

UPON THE CAR REACHING 20 MILES PER HOUR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM CHARGES UP. THIS CREATES A LOT OF NOISE AND CAUSE THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL TO VIBRATE. THIS CONDITION OCCURS ONCE EVERY IGNITION CYCLE. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE NISSAN SENTRA WHEN FLIPPED DOWN CAUSES LOSS OF VISIBILITY WHICH CAN MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE CARS AHEAD AND REQUIRES ADJUSTMENTS WHICH CAN MAKE IT VERY ANNOYING TO USE AND LEAD TO LOSS OF CONCENTRATION REQUIRED WHEN DRIVING. IT IS A BAD DESIGN AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS AS IT DID IN MY CASE AND SHOULD BE FIXED! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START AND BELIEVED THE FAILURE TO BE RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V555000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: BATTERY: CABLES). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY CABLES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS THEN CONTACTED AND INFORMED HIM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUS RECALL. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

1. VIBRATIONS COMING FROM STEERING WHEEL AND PEDALS WHILE DRIVING 60+ MPH ON MY NEW 2011 NISSAN SENTRA SINCE I BOUGHT IT. 2. DEALERSHIP HAS BALANCED THE TIRES AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND I WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW SET OF TIRES THINKING IT WAS THE TIRES IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO LOOSED SOME COMPONENTS THINKING IT WOULD FIX IT BUT IT HASN'T. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HITS THE REARVIEW MIRROR. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING FOR THE DRIVER AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ISSUES WITH ABS ACTUATOR MAKING NOISES AND VIBRATING. DEALERSHIP COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS, BUT REFERRED TO NISSAN SERVICE BULLETIN. ON FEBRUARY 2, 2011, I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH. AS I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT I ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS MY BRAKES. AT THAT TIME THE PEDAL TRAVELED MORE THAN 3/4 OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ALMOST INSTANTLY. THERE WAS A LOUD METALLIC CLANKING AND GRINDING SOUND AND A VERY STRONG VIBRATION COMING FROM UNDER BRAKE PEDAL. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AS IT PULLED TO THE LEFT AND ALMOST TRAVELED INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. AFTER 2-3 SECONDS I REGAINED THE USE OF MY BRAKES. *LN

ON MONDAY, JANUARY 17, BETWEEN 7:00PM AND 7:15PM, I AS WELL AS A PASSENGER THAT WAS WITH ME THAT EVENING WERE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH A SEMI DUE TO A FAILURE OF OUR 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. WE DON'T REALLY KNOW IF IT WAS EITHER THE BRAKES OR THE ABS SYSTEM OR THE ONBOARD COMPUTER. AS WE WERE ON BELTLINE RD., HEADING TOWARDS ADDISON, TX FOR A DINNER PARTY AT A LOCAL RESTAURANT, WE CAME TO AN INTERSECTION AND ATTEMPTED TO COME TO A HALT, BUT, WHEN DOING SO THE CAR CAME TO A SLOW STEADY SPEED AND CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD, LESS THAN 5MPH BUT MORE THAN 2MPH. I PRESSED THE BRAKE A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES, TWO OF WHICH I SLAMMED THE BREAK UNTIL IT REACHED THE FLOORBOARD, UNTIL I WAS FORCED TO USE THE E BREAK. I TRIED PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AS WELL BUT NOTHING SEEMED TO WORK. PRIOR TO LEAVING FOR THE RESTAURANT, WE HEARD AN INTERNAL KNOCKING SOUND. WE DIDN'T HAVE IT CHECKED OUT IMMEDIATELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS A HOLIDAY AND MANY PLACES WERE ALREADY CLOSED. WE ALSO DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A DANGER TO US SIMPLY BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAD EVER OCCURRED. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE, AND WE WANT TO GET THE WORD OUT THERE THAT THIS CAR COULD BE DANGEROUS. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE TROPHY NISSAN IN MESQUITE, TX AND WERE GIVEN A RENTAL. WE PREFER THE RENTAL. IT WILL BE A MONTH UNTIL WE GET OUR CAR BACK, AND FRANKLY, THEY CAN KEEP IT. THERE WAS ONE OTHER RECALL THAT TOOK PLACE AS WELL AND THE DESCRIPTION MATCHES OUR INCIDENT. I HAVE PROVIDED THE LINK BELOW: HTTP://WWW.CARSEVERYTHING.COM/256/2011-NISSAN-SENTRA-RECALLS.HTML THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONCERN. WE REALLY HOPE THAT WORD CAN GET OUT ABOUT THE POTENTIAL DANGERS 2011 NISSAN SENTRAS CAN POSSESS. *TR
