Tom wood Nissan carmel in refused to honor recall #report receipt date: Jul 07, 2006 NHTSA campaign number: 06v242000 component(s): engine and engine cooling.
This vehicle was bought from a man at a home for "x" amount of miles. Now the odometer, title, and state inspection sticker miles do not match on different information. I bought this car I can't sell or do anything with it. All of these documents were tampered with and they are evasive and denying it all even to the cops when I have evidence and do not want to give me my money in full. I thought I bought a good car and now I know better and my life and my family is in danger with this car it is not safe and I was lied to. Complete fraud on the odometer and more.
I purchased a vehicle for 4000 dollars and on the odometer it said it had 75,000 miles and the sticker said 69,204. We thought it was a good deal and investment so we took it. So this man and whoever who works with texas auto trading inc got the title and sticker for me. I never signed anything and a few days later the car started showing 176,00 miles on the odometer. Then on August 5, 2013 I called the individual jesus to ask for the title and he said he had gotten it with 10 more that were late I asked him why to his address and he blamed someone else wheni gave him my address several times. So it's registered to his home. So I went to get the title read it had 180,000 miles. So none of the info was right and on carfax and auto check it has different info showing proof of tampering with odometer on vehicle and title and state inspection. No evidence is on the reports of the state inspection sticker being made on 11/21/12. I called the local mesquite police and they said the seller jesus had said "he didn't know about the car and he bought it that way. " I was never informed and I've been dealing with these evasive people who will not give me my money back or want to disclose his last name or anything. I looked at the reports on auto check and car fax and at the time of purchase it had more miles on it. I don't want anyone to deal with this consumer fraud and I want my money back. I can't sell or do anything with the vehicle since all info is false and I don't believe it's fair for me or anyone to have to pay the burden of all these and more expenses. They buy cars and resell them and I hope no one else has to deal with this this odometer fraud.
The vehicle was difficult to start and require multiple tries. The would jerk and felt like it was slipping out of gear but did not. Has completely stalled when slowing for stop light. On 12/5/11, would not crank at all. Per Nissan service center, the crankshaft senor is failing; however, there is not recall for Nissan Sentra ser spec-v only 2004 Sentras. All Nissan Sentras should be on the recall list including ser spec-vs. Concerned that there are other safety issues with Nissan Sentras that would also effect spec-v that are not being reported to spec-v owners.
Most of the time when I try to turn on the car I have to try 2 or 3 times in order for it to turn. The car sounds like it will turn on but it will not, therefore I have to continue turning the key and try again. Sometimes when I accelerate the car will not responce, it will take a while to do so.
It takes several tries to start my 2004 Nissan Sentra and sometimes stalls right after starting the vehicle.
Ac never worked properly , serviced several times for the same problem.

2004 Nissan Sentra 1. Purchased new on 3/13/2004. Mileage 2060 - jersey city, service engine soon light came on, brought to dealer, ecm reprogrammed, dealer did not know what caused the light to come on. Erratic/rough idling still persists, vehicle shut off once while refueling. Mileage, approx. 4725 - jersey city, service engine soon light came on and went off intermittently, dealer refused to repair due to "no hard code is stored. " erratic/rough idling persists. Vehicle shut off second time while parked. Began lemon law proceedings in new jersey. Mileage, 5370 - myrtle beach, service engine soon light is on. Car is bucking in 1st gear (automatic), "mapp" gas or rotten egg smell (possibly excess sulfur) coming from exhaust. Error code p0171/p0174, air flow meter replaced with no further failures. Mileage, 5637 - charlotte, service engine soon light is on. Vehicle now bucks at high speeds, especially when letting up on the accelerator. After prolonged highway driving, very erratic idle, at times almost reaching 0 rpms while parked. Dealer reset ecm, could not detect any failures. Arranged to change fuel pump but finally fuel pump was not changed. Vehicle driven back to new jersey with same failures as listed above. Since charlotte, nc service engine soon light has come on two times, and has gone away just as fast. I do not have much time to keep my only car (and new car) in and out of the dealership, since they refuse to provide a rental. My recommendation: want to stay alive, stay away from Nissan cars and trucks.
Purchased car brand new with 7 miles on it. On 3/15/04 at 495 miles on the computer died - lost engine power in heavy traffic, check engine light on. Dealer replaced computer under warranty and I accepted delivery of repaired vehicle on 3/19/04. On 3/31/04 at 720 miles - check engine light came on again, lost all engine power again in heavy traffic. Made it to dealer - was told 'nothing they could do for me' and although the car is unsafe to drive, constantly losing power in traffic - they told me to take it away, or leave it there and walk home (10 miles). . .
The keyless remote does not work unless they take out a fuse because of a short in the electrical system - that particular fuse controled the lights in the vanity mirrow - they said they have to order a part to fix it - and that all 2004 models have this problem. Also the passenger side back door does not open from the inside! maybe due to the same problem - waiting to hear from dealership.
