The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Sentra. While the contact’s daughter was driving approximately 10 - 15 MPH and turning to the right, the front driver’s side wheel assembly, including the drive shaft, strut, shocks, and brake line detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was coasted to a stop, and the contact was immediately called. The driver had the vehicle towed to the dealer, but the vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

ODI #11722103STEERING,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEMCRASH1 INJURY

In December 2025, the vehicle was towed to the dealer after it shut off and would not restart. No warning lights displayed, no low fuel light displayed either. Dealer attributed stall to low fuel (fuel range showed 30 miles remaining), found no diagnostic codes, attributed it to low fuel, added gas, and released the vehicle and charged a DX fee. In February 2026 (approximately two months later), the vehicle lost power again while being driven and was rear-ended while disabled. Post-collision dash photos show approximately half a tank of fuel and malfunction indicators illuminated. The dealership had notice of a shutdown event and failed to properly diagnose or investigate before returning the vehicle as safe in December. My daughter was injured as a result of the rear end accident. The vehicle was a total loss.

Two times in the past month my gas pedal has gotten stuck after I fully engaged it getting on the highway. Both times I had to hit the brakes and kick at the gas pedal a few times for it to disengage. This problem doesn’t always happen, as I’ve tried to do it on purpose to see if it would do it again. Not sure it it could possibly have anything to do with snow/ice or salt accumulation on outside of vehicle, as it is winter time In Massachusetts. This could have led to a bad accident injuring both myself and others, luckily I managed to break the gas pedal free both times. The problem happened two separate times. I have not brought it up to the dealer but will soon on my next service appointment. Vehicle and component hasn’t been inspected for this problem yet. There were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms. They first appeared about a month ago (mid January 2026), and happened again first week of February 2026

Sometimes when stopped at a light and turning onto another street the car loses acceleration. The cars power does not shut off but causes a delay in the acceleration when turning or accelerating. I brought my vehicle to the dealership and they test drove it and hooked it up to the coding machine and said no codes came up and there isn’t a recall. However I looked and it said there is a recall on certain 2024 nissan sentra sv models as shown here - Driveshaft Separation (NHTSA 24V304000): The front left-side driveshaft may not be fully seated, or a retaining clip may be missing, causing a sudden loss of drive power and increasing the risk of a crash. Something is definitely wrong this has happened at least 10 times since I’ve had the vehicle.

The vehicle veered to the right, crossed multiple lanes before stopping on a gravel shudder. Upon exiting and inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that both the two front wheels were towed inward at approximately a 40-degree angle.

ODI #11697978STRUCTURE

The front splash guard on my vehicle detached twice under normal driving conditions due to a design flaw in the fasteners. The splash guard is secured with plastic push pins and a single screw, which are not strong enough to withstand common road conditions such as standing water or wind pressure. The first incident occurred when my wife drove through an unseen puddle during heavy rain, which immediately tore the entire splash guard off. The vehicle had to be towed to Victory Nissan for repair. The dealership reattached the splash guard using plastic fasteners and one screw, but did not replace the damaged part. The same issue occurred again because once the splash guard is cracked or weakened, it catches wind and detaches easily. When this happens, the large 4x5 ft. piece of plastic can fly off on the freeway, creating a serious danger to both the vehicle occupants and other drivers. Victory Nissan has been unresponsive in resolving this safety issue. Despite being told the service manager would follow up, I received no calls back after multiple attempts and long hold times. When I finally retrieved my vehicle, the issue had not been properly repaired—only more plastic fasteners were used. This is a significant safety hazard that should be investigated. A splash guard of this size detaching at highway speeds poses a serious risk of property damage or injury.

I have a 2024 Nissan Sentra SV that I have leased brand new since January 2023. As of today, 10/28/2025 I have only 14,605 miles on this vehicle. I drive local only, no highways yet the tires are completely bald and needed to be replaced. The tire pressure would only hold 27. They were a road hazard. I could not drive to the dealership, Jenkins Nissan in Leesburg Florida due to the condition of the tires and it was raining. I had to replace all 4 tires at the expense of $890.00 not to mention the time I lost from work to have these replaced. These tires were under warranty. Boulevard Tire in Lady Lake, Florida has the tires. They will be submitting the information you need. I did call Hankook today, 10/28/2025 to start the claim. This vehicle has only 14k miles so how is it possible they were so dangerous and bad. I expect to get a full refund. Hankook is giving me a hard time about the warranty because I didn't replace with the same tires. I couldn't drive more than 2 miles and made it Boulevard Tire for help. They have the tires and it have photos. No tires should never wear like that with that kind of mileage and only local driving, no highway driving. I'll attach photos.

My wife who was driving had stopped at a pedestrian crosswalk behind another car that had stopped to allow people to cross. While we were stopped a GMC truck plowed into the rear of our car at a high rate of speed. Police, fire, and an ambulance were called to the seen. The occupant driving the truck was ticked for driving to close and taking his eyes off the road. My wife and I suffered injuries because the airbags did not deploy. She had a leg contusion, arm, neck, back, injuries whiplash, and an erratic heart rhythm. I suffered a mild concussion from hitting the windshield causing a severe nose bleed and whiplash.

For the past 6 weeks my car has abruptly stopped. No forwarding, no lights. All of which occurred during heavily moving traffic putting myself and others in grave danger. Due to my quick thinking and CDL training I was able to redirect traffic until I was able to move to safety. I have had my battery jumped at least 4 times within one week. I had it tested multiple times and it shows no issues. Only at Nissan did they say it could be the battery but not sure. Also no lights came on. My car has been maintenanced on time. This issue is very scary. This is my only means of transportation and serves as my designated vehicle for employment as well. Although there's no recall showing there's definitely an underlying issue that needs to be addressed and I'd hate to have that happen after a fatality or serious injury happens. My vehicle is only a little over a year old this shouldn't be happening. Please advise as to how this issue can be resolved and at little or no cost to me as I was informed that my car is in great condition aside from the major issue that I mentioned. I have almost been reared eneded and also almost did the same to others. There was also a time recently I drove thr6a bank drive through and immediately afterwards my car shut down and I had to get help. Please help me resolve this situation as it to me is high priority. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Hesitate to start/stop with push button. Feels like loses power while driving. Rpms revs unexpectedly. Almost wrecked a few times due to this. Happens during continuous driving, not stop and go traffic. Sometimes when put in park, it will jerk hard. Sometimes when put in park and turn off, doors don’t unlock automatically. Car will jerk when starting at times. Forward collision light comes on often. Sounds like front rotors or something in the front rubs while driving. Auto engine off/on sometimes doesn’t work. The first time I took it to the dealer, they didn’t record their visual inspection. They blamed a lot of stuff on rodent nests. The second time I took it to the dealership, I made it a point to have the visual inspection recorded and sent to me. Surprise, no rodent nests found! Both inspections were completed in less than two hours even though I told them I could stay as long as needed. Since then, the burning smell has worsened.

A few days prior I did smell oil burning and was going to the issue looked at at the dealership unfortunately this accident or malfunction happened. There was no police report but the police did show up to make sure I was okay and they called the tow company affiliated with the department so I believe there's some record of it but no actual police report was made because I didn't feel that it was needed because no one was involved other than myself.

As I was straightening my steering wheel, from a left turn into my driveway, I heard, about half a dozen, very loud, banging noises, coming from the front of my vehicle. This was so loud, that I heard it over the noise of my audio, playing fairly loud, to begin with. This, coupled, with previous experience, and the ride on this vehicle becoming incredibly rough, leads me to believe that the ball joints are froze up. This car is less than two months old, with 2,700 miles on it. The noise out of the front, has happened before, and I went to the dealer in Denison, TX, about it, a couple of weeks ago. There was also a very strong smell of, like burning rubber, but that seemed to stop, by hitting the switch, every time, after starting the engine, to turn off the auto stop / start. These cars should not be on the road!

ODI #11621570STRUCTURE,SERVICE BRAKES

1) While driving at 35 MPH with cruise control on, upon approaching an intersection with a red traffic light on, pushing the brake did not affect the vehicle at all. After going through the red light (divided roadway at intersection) and making a fast-moving right turn, pressing the engine ON button had no effect. Hard depressing the emergency/parking brake pedal eventually stopped the vehicle. There was no floor mat interference (the mat was securely hooked onto the retaining hooks). 2) The driver's side door would not open when the mechanical lever was pulled; even mutiple times. The only way to exit the vehicle was by pushing the electronic door unlock button. Additional testing indicated that the driver's side door would never open using the mechanical opening handle when the vehicle doors had been electrically locked. In a panic situation, or if the electrical system had failed, this situation could trap a person inside the vehicle.

Chart Analysis

The blue line shows 27 total NHTSA complaints filed over 3 years, with the worst year being 2025 (16 complaints, including 3 crash reports).

The amber reliability line is declining — recent years score around 29/100, lower than earlier in the vehicle's life. This pattern indicates issues are accumulating over time rather than being resolved, which is a concern for used buyers.

The recall (red dashed line) were issued in the same year or before complaints peaked, suggesting the manufacturer identified and acted on the defect relatively quickly.

Red dots on the amber line flag 3 years (2024, 2025, 2026) where complaints included crash events — these are the highest-severity incidents in the dataset.
