2005 Nissan Sentra Fuel System Problems

MY FUEL LINE IS NOT STANDING UP TO WORK AND IS LEADKING, SAME AS THE KIA. EXPENSIVE REPAIR TO TAKE CAREOF THIS

VAPOR CANISTER - FUEL IS SPILLING ALL OVER THE GROUND WHEN FILLING UP BECAUSE THE VAPOR CANISTER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE COMPANY REFUSES TO TAKE ANY CARE OF IT DESPITE THE FACT IT IS A RECALL 05V269000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 205,000.

WHILE PUMPING GAS AFTER 1.50 OR LESS PUMP SHUTS OFF AND GAS SPILLS OUT ON TO THE GROUND THIS OVER AND OVER WHILE TRYING TO PUT 20.00 IN TAKES SO LONG AND SO MUCH GAS SPILLING OUT IS DANGEROUS AND NOW MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WHICH HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME

AFTER FUELING CAR (I.E. PUMP AUTO SHUTS OFF) AND FUEL PUMP IS REMOVED, A GURGLING SOUND CAN BE HEARD FROM WITHIN THE CAR'S FUEL FILLER AND THEN GASOLINE IS PUSHED OUT AND OVERFLOWS, SPILLING OUT DANGEROUSLY ONTO THE GROUND. CAR IS STATIONARY, TURNED OFF, AT GAS STATION WITH KEYS REMOVED. HAPPENS ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT GASOLINE SPILLED ONTO THE GROUND BEFORE THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED TO ITS CAPACITY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR MECHANIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 166,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 166,811.

WHILE HEADING TO WORK, MY CAR LOST POWER DUE TO A SCREW FROM A POWER INTAKE VALVE (BUTTERFLY VALVE AS THE DEALERSHIP REFERRED TO IT) COMING LOOSE AND FALLING INSIDE THE #1 CYLINDER CHAMBER. INSIDE THE CHAMBER, THE PISTON QUICKLY BENT THE SPARK PLUG ELECTRODES TOGETHER CAUSING THE CAR TO SHUT OFF AND LOSE POWER. I WAS INSIDE MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT AND WAS NEARLY IN A REAR END COLLISION AS A RESULT. THE DEALERSHIP POINTED OUT INADVERTENTLY THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN COVERING THIS ISSUE. I RESEARCHED THESE BULLETINS AND FOUND BULLETIN NTB05-058B. THIS COVERS THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. THERE IS A CATCH WITH THIS BULLETIN. I OWN A 2005 NISSAN SENTRA SER SPECV MANUFACTURED IN OCT. 2004. THE COMPANY CLAIMS MY VIN FALLS OUTSIDE THE SERVICE BULLETIN BY MERE WEEKS. THIS PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY ADDRESSED AND MY ENGINE FAILED BECAUSE OF SUCH. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CORP. DIRECTLY AND THEY PLACE ME IN THE HANDS OF NISSAN REGIONAL. I WAS GIVEN EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE AS TO WHY MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE REPAIRED BY THE FACTORY. #1. VEHICLE FELL OUTSIDE THE SERVICE BULLETIN DATE RANGE. #2 AGE OF VEHICLE AND MILEAGE EVEN THOUGH A BRAND NEW ENGINE WAS PLACED IN OCT 2008. #3. CUSTOMER LOYALTY WAS IN QUESTION AS NISSAN DID NOT SERVICE MY ENGINE. WHEN I INQUIRED HOW OIL CHANGES WERE RELEVANT, I WAS TOLD THE TECHNICIANS WOULD HAVE FOUND THIS ISSUE DURING A TWENTY-ONE POINT INSPECTION. I ASKED FOR CLARIFICATION AS TO WHY I WOULD BELIEVE NISSAN WOULD HAVE DISSEMBLED MY ENGINE, FOUND A LOOSE SCREW AND RE-ASSEMBLED MY ENGINE ALL DURING AN OIL CHANGE. ALSO, THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED PROPERLY WHEN MY ENGINE WAS REPLACED IN OCTOBER OF 2008. LOOSING ENGINE POWER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, NEARLY BEING IN AN ACCIDENT IS NOT A MATTER I WANT TO TAKE LIGHTLY. DO I HAVE A VALID ARGUMENT AGAINST NISSAN? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE FUEL CAP NOT BEING SECURED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE WARNING LIGHT COULD POSSIBLY RE-ILLUMINATE AND IF SO, TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT IF THE FAILURE RECURRED, THEN THERE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN A FUEL LEAK SOMEWHERE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

ENGINE CODE P1446 EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE. VEHICLE WOULD SPIT OUT GAS WHEN TRYING TO REFUEL. VALVE NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

CANNOT FILL GAS TANK NORMALLY. WITH A 1/4 TANK, THERE IS BACK-FILL THAT CAUSES THE GAS PUMP TO 'CLICK' OFF AS IF IT IS FULL. OTHER TIMES, YOU HEAR THE 'SWOOSHING' SOUND OF A BACK-FILL, AND GAS HAS COME FLYING BACK OUT AT ME WHILE 'ATTEMPTING' TO PUT GAS IN THE CAR - SEVERE HAZARD!!! CHECKED THE CODE AND SURE ENOUGH, LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS, VOILA - IT'S THE EVAP CANISTER VENT VALVE MALFUNCTION... IN THIS CASE, IT'S 'CLOSED'. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 8 MINUTES TO PUT 2 GALLONS WORTH OF GAS IN, NEEDLESS TO SAY, VAPOR FUMES ARE STRONG, AND GAS DRIBBLES OUT. FILLING UP THIS VEHICLE IS A PAIN IN THE _____. IT APPEARS TO BE A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH NISSAN VEHICLES AND IT APPEARS TO ME, NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

AS I WAS PUMPING GAS INTO THE VEHICLE GAS BEGAN TO POUR ON TO THE CAR. THE GAS TANK WAS EMPTY BUT THE PUMP CONTINUED TO CLICK AS IF THE TANK WERE FULL AND THERE WERE EXCESSIVE FUMES COMING OUT OF THE TANK. *TR

MY CAR OVERHEATED, THEN I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE WAS BLOWN AND I HAD TO PAY $1200.00 TO FIX IT AND COME TO FIND OUT, THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR ON THE WATER PUMP WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED MY CAR TO OVERHEAT AND THUS NOT HAVING TO HAVE MY ENGINE BLOWN. WHEN I CALLED TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL NISSAN INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE OF THOSE INCLUDED BUT IT MATCHED THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL???? I WANT ANSWERS... *TR

I BOUGHT ME A 2005 NISSAN SENTRA 1.8 ON JANUARY OF 2010. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY GET GREAT GAS MILEAGE AND ARE A VERY RELIABLE CAR TO HAVE. I HAVE LEARNED FAST THIS WAS NOT SO. MY CAR IS NOW NOT WANTING TO START, IT IS SHIFTING VERY HARD AND SOMETIMES WONT SHIFT AND I CAN SMELL SOMETHING BURNING ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING UP A HILL, MY KEYPAD WILL NOT WORK TO LOCK OR UNLOCK MY CAR BUT WILL OPEN THE TRUNK, THE LOCK-UNLOCK BUTTON INSIDE THE CAR WILL NOT WORK, AND NONE OF MY WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN. THIS IS BS. I HAVE TOLD AND WILL PROCEED TO TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO NOT BUY A NISSAN. THIS HAS MADE ME NOT WANT TO TRUST ANY OF YOUR VEHICLES AGAIN AND I WILL PROBABLY GO TO A DIFF. DEALER AND GET SOMETHING WELL WORTH MY MONEY. I AM NOT PAYING 8,000 DOLLARS ON A CAR THAT JUST KEEPS TEARING UP, ESPECIALLY WHEN PARTS ARE WAY TO EXPENSIVE! *TR
