Takata inflators: my car lost power and will not shift into od I need to know if there is a recall on it or whatever is wrong with it my car is a 2000 Nissan Sentra.

The car shut of while driving at 65 mph. The car restarted after 10 minutes drove about 2 miles and it shut of again. This time I called a mechanic and had the car towed to his shop. The mechanic indicated that it was a crankshaft and camshaft sensor issue. I have changed all other sensors on car. I was told that there was a recall on this car. I contacted Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 and was told that there was nothing that they could do. Please advise!!!!.

Vehicle "jerks" when under load & throttle is applied. Replaced 4 ignition coils, & throttle position sensor. No change in vehicle's performance. Vehicle will also not accelerate over 3000 rpm's. Mechanic said I needed to contact Nissan regarding applicable safety recall that was likely the problem, which I did. Nissan said there was no safety recalls applicable to my vehicle. I told mechanic this, & he insist's that there most certainly is.

The top piece of my dipstick shattered, leaving the rest of my dipstick inside of my car. The more I attempt to pull it out, the closer it comes to my crankshaft. This is definitely not safe!!.

Oil check stick broken into engine. 2000 Nissan Sentra. Called the dealer said is common problem. Nothing done. Have to buy new stick.

The contact stated engine control module was bad. It mad e the engine shake and the car did not run. She said the dealer had car for 3 weeks, which was when she noticed the problem. The contact indicated there was a recall on the control module, but this recall number was not available. She found the recall on the internet.

Oil dipstick broke between plastic and metal. Dipstick was jammed inside of dipstick tube. Attempting to pull out the dipstick leads to pushing it further, leading to collision with crankshaft. Could be a serious issue if this happens while moving and it gets entangled inside the engine.

Consumer took vehicle to the dealer, and they stated the part was not in. Dealer had vehicle for more than one month. Consumer thought that this was the process.

Nissan Sentra oil stick is designed poorly. Stick is made of plastic and it costs a furtune to take it out once it breaks. Nissan charges up to $250 to take the broken part out. This fix should be a recall because this part should not be made of plastic.

Consumer received recall 01v357000 concerning crank position sensor: after recall repairs were done it started experiencing crank position sensor failure. Less than two months after the recall repairs were done was driving and the vehicle cut off. Consumer spoke to the dealer, who claimed that recall repairs were done properly.

I am the national technical advisor for jiffy lube International and I would like to file a defect concern regarding engine oil level dipstick failures. Since November 2002 to present, jiffy lube International has serviced approximately 13 (to current count-possibly more-currently researching for exact number) 2000-2001 Nissan Sentras w/1. 8l engines ranging from 23,000 - 55,000 miles in which the engine oil level dipstick handle became seperated from the metal indicator inside the tube(as described in complaint#10010803 & 10023403). This happens on initial removal of the dipstick prior to servicing. Some of the vehicles were even 1st time customers to our service centers. There are also claims that I do not have accounted for because the stores are franchise owned and they handle there own claims. I do have all the customers personal & vehicle information if you would like to have it to investigate. The dealers that I have talked with state that they are unware of any concerns of this nature but are quick to propose a repair bill of $200-300. 00 dollares everytime this happens. I would like someone from NHTSA to investigate and consult with Nissan on what there take is on this matter and to see if they may issue a recall to where jiffy lube International could recoupe some of there losses, financially and from a customer standpoint. Please advise if I can offer anymore information regarding this matter. I appreciate your concern and look forward to your response.

Went out to check my oil and the plastic puller on the oil dip stick broke off as I removed it and the remaining part of the stick fell into the dip stick shaft and became lodged. My Nissan dealer quoted me several hundred dollars to remove the dip stick.

Temperature meter was on( h). Consumer went to lift up hood, and coolant was all over engine. Also, vehicle pulled to right. Dealership is aware of problem.
