2013 Nissan Sentra Complaint Log

THE SENTRA HAS A LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD THAT ALERTS THE DRIVER IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DISABLED. THIS LIGHT ON MY SENTRA WILL SOMETIMES COME ON EVEN THOUGH A 150 POUND PERSON IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. INITIALLY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF BY BRAKING FAST. A FEW NIGHTS AGO, I COULD NOT GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF FOR A 20 MINUTE DRIVE EVEN THOUGH A 150 POUND PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. PER NISSAN, THE AIR BAG IS PROVIDING NO CODES FOR THIS ISSUE AND UNLESS I CAN RECREATE IT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD TO VIDEO TAPE THE LIGHT, GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALER WHO CAN THEN READ THE CODES OF WHICH THERE ARE NOT ANY OR TO TRADE IN THE VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT PROPERLY DEPLOY IN A FRONT END COLLISION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN AN ADULT OCCUPANT THAT WEIGHED LESS THAN 100 LBS WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A LOOSE HARNESS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,150.

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASE THE CAR, I NOTICE THAT THE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON WEATHER SOMEONE WAS SEATING THERE OR NOT. I GOT A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL AND I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR INSPECTION TO THE DEALER. AFTER THAT THEY LIGHT STILL KEPT COMING ON. I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN ONE MORE TIME AND THEY GENTLEMEN SAID THAT EVERYTHING LOOK GOOD. WELL UP TO THIS DATE, THE LIGHT IS STILL COMING ON WEATHER SOMEONE IS SEATING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, BECAUSE I'VE ALREADY TAKEN IT BACK TWICE AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT EVERYTHING IS OKAY. I FEAR FOR MY PASSENGER WHEN I HAVE THEM IN MY CAR. PLEASE HELP ME OUT. *TR

ENGINE STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH. STALLED AGAIN ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AT 30 MPH. WENT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES, BUT NISSAN WILL NOT RECOGNIZE ENGINE STALLS AS A CURRENT ISSUE WITH 2013 NISSAN SENTRAS. HOWEVER NISSAN DID SEND ME ONE MONTHS CAR NOTE FOR THE VEHICLE BEING IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO NISSAN THERE IS A SUGGESTED REPAIR INVOLVING THE ACCELERATOR ON THESE VEHICLES, BUT THE COMPANY WILL NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR UNLESS THEIR TECHNICIANS CAN REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO NISSAN THEY SIMPLY SAY THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING BUT THE COMPANY WILL NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR AT THIS TIME. THEY MORE OR LESS LEFT IT TO ME TO CONTINUE WITH MY OWN RESEARCH ABOUT A POTENTIAL RECALL INVOLVING ENGINE STALLS. *TR

I AM HAVING TWO PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS SYSTEM ON MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA SV. ON THREE OCCASIONS THE ABS SYSTEM SHUT OFF THE BRAKES COMPLETELY AT LOW SPEED ON SLIPPERY ROADS. WHILE TESTING THE CAR TO REPRODUCED THE ABOVE CONDITION I NOTICED THAT AT LOW SPEED ON SLIPPERY ROADS THE CAR STOPPED ABOUT 1/3 SHORTER WITHOUT THE ABS SYSTEM. I AM A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER AND WAS A PROJECT MANAGER FOR ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEMS AND AM FAMILIAR WITH ABS OPERATION.

I HAVE DROPPED MY FRIEND AND EVEN AFTER THAT PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS ON. THERE IS NO AIRBAG WARNING IF THE PASSENGER DOES NOT WEAR SEAT BELT. NOT SURE IF THAT IS THE MISSING FEATURE IN THE CAR. NISSAN DEALER SAYS THAT CAR DOES NOT HAVE A FEATURE TO WARN IF PASSENGER DOES NOT WEAR SEAT BELT.

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 12/31/2013, WITH 22 MILES SHOWING ON THE ODOMETER. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR ENGINE CUTS OFF, I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND RESTART WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEM. THE ENGINE HAS STOPPED THREE OTHER TIMES SINCE THEN, THE OTHERS WERE WHILE IDLING AND DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25-30MPH.I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE, BUT AFTER THE FOURTH TIME, I'M A BIT AFRAID THAT THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AND PROBABLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.HOW DO I BEGIN TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM WITH NISSAN? *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON VENTURA BLVD. AT A NORMAL SPEED OF TRAFFIC WHEN SOMEONE ABRUPTLY STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAPPENED IN ENCINO, CA. ON JANUARY 8, 2014. THE CAR LITERALLY AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES, KEPT GOING AND THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME APPLYING THE BRAKES OR NOT. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT! IT TOTALED MY CAR, AND THE PERSON WHOM I HIT HAVE HAD NECK/BACK INJURIES! I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE SINCE THE WEAKEST CRASH TEST WAS THE FRONT END, DRIVER SIDE!! I WAS INJURED TOO MY KNEE SWELLED AND MY HAND WAS SWOLLEN. WHEN I ADDRESSED THIS TO NISSAN, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT KEPT ILLUMINATING INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT CONSTANTLY HAD TO CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER RESET THE CODE, THE FAILURE RECURRED FOR LONGER THAN SIX WEEKS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT LEAST THREE OR MORE TIMES, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE RECURRED, BUT THERE WAS A STRONG HESITATION AS IF THE VEHICLE MAY STALL AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION THREE TIMES AND INDICATED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED A FOURTH TIME. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE MAY RECURR INTERMITTENTLY EVEN IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

I ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS. I KEEP MY CAR UPDATED WITH THE MAINTENANCE. I DROVE TO LAS VEGAS, NEVADA FRIDAY AFTERNOON. MY CAR WAS RUNNING GREAT I GET TO LAS VEGAS NEVADA I HERE THIS LOUD GRINDING CRINKLY NOISE COMING FROM MY ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION. I TAKE IT TO PLANET NISSAN IN LAS VEGAS NEVADA. THEY TOOK FOREVER TO EVEN TAKE ME AS A CUSTOMER. THEN THEY COME OUT AND SAY YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A RENTAL AND YOUR TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CAR AS FAR AS PICKING IT UP WHEN ITS FIXED. THIS IS THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAD WITH CARS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO THIS CAR AND ITS SUPPOSED TO BE BRAND NEW. I BOUGHT IT WITH 32 MILES ON IT. MIND YOU ALL THIS WAS ON A TRIP I TOOK TO VEGAS WITH MY FAMILY. MY TWO YEAR OLD SON WAS DRAINED FROM THIS EXPERIENCE HAVING TO SPEND 6 HOURS AT PLANET NISSAN. THEY EVEN TRY SELLING ME A ANOTHER NEW SENTRA. *TR

WHILE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIRBAG DISABLED LIGHT IS STILL ILLUMINATED, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE AIRBAG IS DISABLED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A FULL GROWN ADULT IN THE SEAT. IT SHUTS OFF INTERMITTENTLY, BUT ON TODAY'S 6 HOUR DRIVE IT DID NOT TURN OFF ONCE EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS SOMEONE OCCUPYING THE SEAT. *TR

MY 2013 NISSAN HAS 75,000 HIGHWAY MILES. I'VE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR UNTIL CHRISTMAS EVE. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN MY CAR STARTED RUNNING ROUGH, IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY PICK UP. I PULLED INTO THE CLOSEST NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT I HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND THAT MY WARRANTY HAD JUST RAN OUT..I AM LOOKING INTO THIS A BIT MORE BECAUSE THIS TRANSMISSION IS NOT USED IN THE 2014 OR 15 MODEL. *TR

TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON HWY 5 . A TRUCK VEERED INTO THE LANE AND HIT THE CAR HEAD ON. SEVERE DAMAGE YET THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THANKFULLY MY DAUGHTER HAD ON HER SEAT BEAT. I JUST BROUGHT THIS CAR ON NOV 23, 2013. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM ALL OF THE WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE DIAGNOSIS WAS UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 126.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND CRASHED INTO A DEER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED BUT DID NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED BODY DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN FOR INSPECTION OF THE BRAKING FAILURE OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

AROUND 8K MY CAR STARTED WITH A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I WOULD STEP ON THE BRAKES TOOK IT FOR SERVICE SAID THE CAR NEEDED BRAKE FLUID, NOW NOT EVEN 3MONTHS LATER MY CAR HAS THE SIMILAR GRINDING NOISE ON & OFF AT TIMES NOT WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE BUT WHEN CAR IS RUNNING WILL BE TAKING IT TO SERVICE TOMORROW. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID DOES NOT GET SPRAYED ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. RATHER, THE FLUID SPRAYS THE BASE OF WINDSHIELD WIPER AND TRAPS THE LIQUID BETWEEN THE BOTTOM OF THE BLADE AND INTO THE WIPER WELL. PINHEAD SIZED DOTS OF FLUID MAKE IT HALFWAY UP THE WINDSHIELD OFFERING NO FLUID FOR THE WIPERS TO USE TO CLEAN THE WINDOW. AFTER 4 GOOD PULLS, EXCESS WASHER FLUID DRAINED FROM THE WIPER WELL AND RAN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR EXITING FROM THE DRIVER WHEEL WELL. THE WIPERS DO NOT "GRAB" AND CARRY UP ONTO THE WINDSHIELD THE EXCESS FLUID AS IT DRAINS BACK INTO THE WIPER WELL AS THE FLUID IS SPRAYED AT THE BASE OF THE WIPERS OUT OF REACH OF THE BLADE. I HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM TAKING MY CAR TO SID DILLON NISSAN IN LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, AND WAS TOLD IF THEY ADJUSTED THE SPRAYER IT WOULD SPRAY THE INSIDE OF THE HOOD AND THEY MUST LEAVE THE NOZZLES WHERE THEY ARE. I SHOULD NOTE THE NOZZLES ARE ANCHORED TO THE HOOD AND RAISE UP AND AWAY FROM THE ENGINE (NO FLUID LINES ATTACHED WHEN HOOD IS OPEN) WHEN THE HOOD IS RAISED THIS IS DANGEROUS...I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CLEAN MY WINDSHIELD (WHICH IS THE PURPOSE OF THE FLUID SPRAYER) WHEN ENCOUNTERING POST-STORM HIGHWAY SLUDGE, MELTING AND DIRTY SNOW ARE THROWN ONTO THE WINDSHIELD OF MY CAR BY OTHER VEHICLES. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE NOZZLES ARE DEFECTIVE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS RELUCTANT TO REPLACE THEM OR IF THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. EITHER WAY, IF THE WINDSHIELD GETS DIRTY WHILE I AM DRIVING, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE. THIS IS TERRIFYING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, A BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD AND DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE. NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE FIRE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,110.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,007. ..UPDATED 02-04-14 *BF

THE WINDSHIELD SPRAY DOES NOT SPRAY CLEANING FLUID ON THE WINDSHIELD. IT HITS THE BOTTOM OF THE WIPER. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SELLING DEALER, NISSAN OF CHESAPEAKE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT IT ALL OF THE TIME AND THAT IT WAS THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT ON THIS MODEL AND IT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. VERY DANGEROUS IF TRYING TO CLEAN SALT/ROAD GRIME FROM THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHTS UP STATING AIR BAGS ARE OFF EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN ADULT SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT. TOOK IN TODAY TO NISSAN DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING NORMAL. I INSISTED FOR THEM TO NOTE IT IN THEIR SYSTEM THAT I TOOK IT IN FOR THAT REASON. THEY DECIDED TO KEEP MY CAR TO RUN TESTS. *TR

NOTICES A CREAKING NOISE FROM PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRAKE AT SLOW SPEED APPROX 3 WEEKS AGO, INTERMITTENT. WAS DRIVING ON FRIDAY 11/22 AND HEARD A LOUD THUMP, CHECKED CAR AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. DRIVING ABOUT 1/2 HOUR LATER, HEAD A LOUD THUMP AND FELT THE CAR JERK. STOPPED, VISUAL CHECK OF CAR TUNED UP NOTHING. CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND THEN RIGHT REAR BRAKE STARTED TO SQUEAK, WHICH TURNED INTO A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. GOT THE CAR TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND UPON INSPECTION SAID THAT THE REAR BRAKES HAD FAILED AND NEEDED NEW DRUMS AND PADS! 11K MILES ON DRUM REAR BRAKES SHOULD NOT RESULT IN FAILURE. COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NERVOUS TO DRIVE THR CAR NOW. *TR

I BOUGHT MY NISSAN SENTRA SV ON NOVEMBER 18, 2013 AND THE NEXT DAY I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO CHECK THE LIGHT INDICATING LOW PRESSURE IN TIRE(S). THE SECOND TIME I TOOK THE CAR INTO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WAS ON DECEMBER 18, 2014 WHEN MY VEHICLE AIR BAG LIGHT KEPT DISENGAGING WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS SEATED ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. [XXX], WHO I TOLD WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNING OFF, HAD THE AUTO TECH LOOK AT AND AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS DONE BEING CHECKED I WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. [XXX] SHOWED ME THAT IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY, BUT WHEN HE SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND HE TRIED SEVERAL TIME TO ENGAGE IT DIDN'T WORK, SO HE WENT BACK TO TALK TO THE TECH AND CAME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT IT'S OKAY AND TO MONITOR IT. NOW, I RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE LETTING ME KNOW ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I TOOK MY CAR IN SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. SERIOUSLY, WHAT HAPPENED IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY AND SOME ONE GOT HURT OR WORST KILLED. A LIFE CAN'T BE REPLACED, BUT A CAR CAN. I HOPE THAT WHEN I TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP I DON'T GET THE RUN AROUND AND BEING TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE THIRD TIME ABOUT THE REAR BRAKES. AT FIRST THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE. I WAS TOLD SOMETHING HAD GOTTEN LOOSE AND THAT IT WAS FIXED. IT WASN'T, I TOOK BACK A SECOND TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO PUT SOME MORE LUBE ON IT. WELL THAT WORKED FOR A LITTLE BIT. NOW I CAN'T BACK UP WITHOUT THE BRAKES SQUEAKING LIKE CRAZY, THE GRINDING IS BACK AND NOW WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL YOU HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE. ALSO THE BRAKE PADS ARE ALREADY WORN.... ON AN 8 MONTH OLD CAR! I HAVE EMAILED NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND WAITING FOR A REPLY. I AM FILING A REPORT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND NISSAN. IF THIS IS NOT FIXED I PLAN TO USE THIS LEMON LAW. I HAVE ALL THE NOISE RECORDED ON VIDEO AND KEPT ALL THE RECORDS OF WHEN THE CAR WENT IN. THE BRAKES WEARING OUT THIS FAST IS RIDICULOUS ON A NEW CAR! IF THE BRAKES FAIL, I COULD GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THEN IT'S MY FAULT. OH AND AS FOR THE SQUEAKING OF THE BRAKES, "IT'S A CASE BY CASE ISSUE." WHICH MEAN IT COULD TAKE AT LEAST A MONTH BEFORE IT IS REPAIRED. BUT THE DEALERSHIP ASSURED ME THAT NO OTHER DAMAGE WILL BE DONE.... THEN WHY ARE THINGS GETTING WORSE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT DELAY IN ACCELERATION RESPONSE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 770. UPDATED 12/24/13*CN THE CONSUMER STATED ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11, 051. *TR

I WAS HIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND WHEN THE AIR BAGS CAME OUT IT HIT MY WRIST AND BROKE IT IN HALF. *TR

I GOT SIDE-SWIPED ON MONDAY, AND ON WED A SECOND PERSON WAS IN MY BLIND SPOT WHILE I WAS TRYING TO MERGE TO THE RIGHT. I HAD MY SIGNAL LIGHTS ON, I LOOKED SEVERAL TIMES EACH TIME. THE ONLY REASON WHY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE 2ND ACCIDENT WAS BECAUSE I HEARD THE PERSON'S BRAKES SCREECH. THERE IS NO VISIBILITY OUT THE BACK REAR PASSENGER WINDOW. THE DOOR COMES UP SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER (MAYBE 4-5 INCHES) THAN IN THE OLDER SENTRA'S. THE MIRROR DOES NOT ROTATE FAR ENOUGH TO THE RIGHT IN ORDER TO SEE IN TO THE BLIND SPOT. NO ONE RIDING IN MY BLIND SPOT CAN SEE MY BLINKING SIGNAL LIGHT. OVERALL THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. GETTING HIT ONCE AND ALMOST A SECOND TIME WAS SCARY. THIS HAPPENED ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY (495). THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE FLAWS ARE INHERENT TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. THE DOOR AND MIRRORS ARE DEFECTIVE. THESE ARE DESIGN FLAWS WHICH THE CONSUMER CAN'T FIX OR MAYBE UNAWARE OF DURING A SIMPLE TEST DRIVE. THIS CAR SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN ON A HIGHWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND JERKED VIOLENTLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. !....UPDATED 07/31/14 *BF UPDATED 8/31/2017*CN

EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES, EVERY TIME I COME TO A STOP AND PRESS THE BRAKE AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR STARTS MOVING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL LOOSES PRESSURE AND I HAVE TO PUSH MY FOOT FURTHER THAN NORMAL, EVENTUALLY MY FOOT TOUCHES THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE AND I CAN'T PUSH THE BRAKE ANY FURTHER, SO I HAVE TO TAP THE GAS AND THEN RE-ENGAGE THE BRAKE AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE GOING DOWNHILL AND COME TO A STOP. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR NUMEROUS TIMES, THAT IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT THAT ITS BECOME AN INCONVENIENCE TO ACTUALLY OWN THE CAR, TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE NISSAN I PURCHASED (NISSAN OF BERGENFIELD IN NEW JERSEY) AND THEY HAVE SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR, THEY LOOKED AT THE BRAKES AND EVEN APPLIED MORE PRESSURE ON THE LINES BUT STILL THE ISSUE PERSISTS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A COMPANY THAT VALUES SAFETY WOULD ALLOW THEIR CLIENTS TO BE DRIVING VEHICLES WITH THIS FAULT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR IN ORDER FOR THEM TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS NOT SAFE BY ANY MEANS, SPECIALLY FOR MY FAMILY WHO I HAVE TO DRIVE AND PICK UP TO AND FROM WORK. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT HAVE YET TO COME TO A RESOLUTION. IF YOU CAN PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS MATTER. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR ANY INFORMATION YOU MAY NEED. *TR

CVT FAILURE- TRANSMISSION SLIPS, JERKS, AND VIOLENTLY SHUDDERS LIKE I AM SLAMMING MY BREAKS. CAR IS SCARY TO DRIVE AND SOMEONE WILL GET HURT. NISSAN UNABLE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE DUE TO NO TROUBLE CODES STORED. WELL THEY CLEARED THE CODE THAT WAS STORED WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT IT IN: CVT CLUTCH ISSUE. HIGH RPMS AND STRUGGLES TO SWITCH GEARS. WENT DOWN A RAMP ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL THE CAR SHUDDERED SO BAD. ALSO JERKS AND SPUTTERS WHEN PULLING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.

THE MORNING STARTED OFF WITH HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ESF LGHT, AND HAND BRAKE LIGHT EVEN THOUGH HAND BRAKE WAS NOT APPLIED. I TRIED TO PULL OVER MANY TIMES, AND FIX LIGHTS BUT NOTHING WORKED. I WAS AT A RED LIGHT, THEN IT TURNED GREEN AND STREET TRAFFIC PROCEEDEDD TO DRIVE FORWARD BUT A CAR 3 CARS IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED ABRUPTLY. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME , HAD ENOUGH TIME TO STOP , BUT MY NISSAN SENTRA HIT THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I THINK THAT THE CAR AND ITS SYSTEMS MALFUNCTIONED AND I WOULD LIKE IT INVESTIGATED , BECAUSE MY ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. I AM HURT FROM THIS ACCIDENT, AND SO IS THE DRIVER FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

ISSUE1: THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) SOFTWARE INCORRECTLY CLASSIFY THE PASSENGER SEAT AS EMPTY, WHEN IT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. THIS IS HAPPENING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. THIS LIFE-THREATENING PROBLEM SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRS THE USE AND VALUE OF MY VEHICLE AND ALSO IT CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE BEEN HARASSED BY THE LOCAL DEALER DUE TO THEIR REPEATED INEFFECTIVE ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. ISSUE2: GROANING SOUND FROM BRAKES WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL. LOCAL DEALER COULDN'T ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

I LEASED A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA FROM NISSAN 46, NJ IN MARCH, 2013 AND FROM JULY, I KEPT HEARING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE FROM REAR PART OF THE CAR EVERY TIME I PRESSED DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. *JB

MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA SL IS OVER REVING CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES, IM HAVING TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURN VEHICLE OFF FOR IT TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THIS ISSUE IS ON GOING EVERY SINGLE DAY WHEN I DRIVE.

TWO DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT THIS 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHEN SISTER (120 BL) SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON, AFTER COUPLE MINUTES THE LIGHT WENT OFF. LATER ON, THE LIGHT ON AGAIN. I CHECK THE USER'S MANU, IT SAID IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG IS NOT IN WORKING CONDITION, IF I HAVE A CRASH, THE PASSENGER WILL NOT GOT ANY AIRBAG PROTECTION. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS COMMON, JUST BECAUSE THE AIRBAG SENSOR UNDER THE "NEW DESIGNED" SEAT WAS NOT SO SENSITIVE,AND HE SAID MY SISTER IS NOT HEAVY ENOUGH(120 BL) TO MAKE THE AIRBAG WORK. THE REASON THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND OFF WAS BECAUSE MY SISTER DID NOT SIT PROPERLY. BUT WHEN I ASK WHY THIS SITUATION NEVER HAPPEN IN MY OTHER CARS. HE COULD NOT SAY ANYTHING. HE TOLD ME THE CAR WAS DESIGNED LIKE THIS. HE DID NOT DO ANYTHING AND HE JUST SENT ME HOME THAT DAY. I GOT A CALL FROM THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY. THEY SAID THEY KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ISSUE, BUT MY CAR WAS NOT IN THAT CATEGORY, EVEN MY CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL ISSUED. WHAT A JOKE!!! IT SEEMS THEY WILL NOT DO NOTHING UNTIL SOMEONE GOT INJURED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IF I CAN NOT GET A GOOD SOLUTION, THIS CAR WILL BE MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN EVER. I FEEL SO DISAPPOINT!!! I HOPE NISSAN WILL NOT BE A SECOND ''TOYOTA". *TR

I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM EL CAJON, CA ON THE 52 WHEN I WAS GOING DOWN THE HILL I WAS HEARING THIS LOUD GRINDING CRACKLING NOISE FROM THE REAR BRAKES. THE NOISE STILL TO THIS DAY IS GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN SERVICES TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY HAD A MECHANIC DRIVE WITH ME TO HERE THE NOISE. WHEN WE WERE DRIVING HE SAID THERE WAS NO NOISE. SO THE SERVICE ADVISER CAME TO ME TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO IF THE NOISE WAS NOT CONFIRMED BY THE MECHANIC. SO I CALL MY BOYFRIEND AND TELL HIM TO EXPLAIN THE NOISE WE'VE BEEN HEARING. THEY DO ANOTHER TEST DRIVE AND THE MECHANIC CONFIRMS THAT THERE'S NOISE IN THE REAR BRAKES. I ASKED FOR A RENTAL CAR. THE ADVISER JUST SAID THERE'S NO WAY NISSAN'S GONNA PAY FOR A RENTAL BECAUSE I FEEL UNSAFE. I MENTIONED TO HIM THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE I BASICALLY GO EVERYWHERE WITH MY SON IN MY CAR. HE SAID HE WILL ORDER PARTS AND GET IN CONTACT WITH ME WHEN THEY COME IN. *TR

DRIVING AS USUAL AND APPLIED THE BRAKES APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 1,000 MILES AT THAT POINT IN TIME. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER AND HE HAS PARTS ON ORDER AND I WILL RETURN TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HOPE THIS IS THE END OF THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, I AM GREATLY DISAPPOINTED AND STRESSED OUT BY THIS EVENT. I BOUGHT A NISSAN BASED UPON THEIR REPUTATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM FRIENDS. I THINK THIS IS MY FIRST, LAST AND ONLY NISSAN EVER. I HAD A 12 YEAR OLD TOYOTA CAMRY THAT WAS MORE RELIABLE THAN THIS. I HOPE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE BRAKE ISSUE IS UNDERTAKEN AND QUICKLY SINCE IT COULD TURN INTO A DANGEROUS AND UNFORTUNATE SITUATION FOR MANY. *TR

BOUGHT CAR MAY 2013. IN JULY 2013 HEARD NOISE WHEN BRAKING. TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER SERVICE DEPT. TOLD IT WAS THE REAR WHEEL CYLINDER. SAID THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PARTS. AWAITING CALL.

REAR DRIVER SIDE BRAKE AS I AM DRIVING AND APPLY BRAKES YOU CAN HEAR LIKE A HORRIBLE SOUND LIKE GRINDING NOISE YOU ALSO CAN HEAR IT IF THE CAR IS AT PARK AND YOU GO UP AND DOWN ON BRAKE PEDAL I WAS AT TEDDY'S NISSAN DEALER FOR FIRST OIL CHANGE TOLD ADVISOR HE TELLS ME TO BRING IT BACK ON MONDAY MORNING THAT THEY ONLY DO OIL CHANGES ON SATURDAYS SO I WILL BE GOING MONDAY MORNING SO THEY CAN REPAIR THE PROBLEM WILL GET BACK AND LET ALL KNOWS HOW THE DO. *TR

UPDATE ON WHAT HERB GORDON NISSAN FOUND ON THE BRAKE ISSUE - THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE INSTRUCTED TO LUBE THE BRAKE CYLINDERS AS PER A SERVICE BULLETIN. THE NOISE WAS GONE FOR A FEW DAYS BUT STARTED TO OCCUR AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME THEY CHANGED THE BRAKE CYLINDERS ALL TOGETHER WHICH HAS SEEMED TO FIX THE GRINDING/CRACKLING NOISE. THE AC STOPPED WORKING AND WAS BLOWING HOT AIR - THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE AC COMPRESSOR. SO MANY ISSUES IN LESS THAN 5000 MILES OF DRIVING. *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM BUENA PARK NISSAN AT THE END OF MAY AND IN MID-JUNE/ EARLY JULY I KEPT HEARING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE EVERY TIME I PRESSED DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. ON JULY 15TH I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MENTIONED THE NOISE TO THE REPRESENTATIVE. I WAS TOLD THAT A PART HAD BEEN ORDERED AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN IT ARRIVED. I HAVE STILL NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY THE DEALERSHIP. RECENTLY I EXPERIENCE THE CAR MOVE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE BRAKE PETAL FIRMLY PRESSED DOWN. *TR

GRINDING NOISE FROM REAR BRAKES WHEN STOPPING FROM SLOW SPEEDS, I WAS TOLD IT WAS A PART THAT CAN RUST WHEN SITTING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BUT WOULD STOP. PROBLEM STILL EXIST. GOING TO TAKE CAR IN FOR ANOTHER INSPECTION 8/20 HOPING FOR BETTER RESULTS. *TR

I HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING THE LOUD GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR BRAKES. I TOOK THE CAR IN TODAY FOR ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE AND SHOWED THE TECHNICIAN THE ISSUE. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE A/C NOT COOLING. THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE A/C STARTS TO BLOW WARM AIR FOR A LONG TIME AND THEN RANDOMLY STARTS TO COOL AGAIN. HOPEFULLY THE DEALERSHIP CAN GET IT FIXED WITHOUT CAUSING ANY ADDITIONAL GRIEF! THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 5,000 MILES! *TR
