After driving my 2004 Nissan Sentra for awhile and shutting it off the engine will not start on the first try. It usually takes 2 or 3 tries to get it started. Also, if I turn off all the accessories it does start right up.
Upon re-fueling my vehicle, the gasoline always comes right back out. "service engine soon" light is on. This is a serious hazard as gasoline gets everywhere and requires at least 10 minutes to refuel.
Nissan Sentra 2004 model - manufacturer defect - recall required. Dear, this is regarding my Sentra car - doing service only with Nissan dealer. Took the car 3 times to dealer for the same problem - only on the 3rd time they could find the problem. Seems they never came across this type of problem before. Brake booster does not send fluid to brake -stalls the car middle of the freeway/highway from 65/55miles to 5 miles - suddenly comes sudden halt in highway. Gave full acceleration, it doesn't move more than 5 miles/hr. Returned to car dealer again. Avoided several accidents. My services charges were $1,200 - which includes fuel system replacement, brake pads, rotors - at early stage - @39700 miles. Very bad experience with Nissan for the first time - I had altima before. It is a total manufacturer defect. I am worried as my teen age daughter and wife are driving this car. Informed Nissan, they said it is normal/common defect.
I have a 2004 Nissan Sentra, the gas gauge is reading wrong despite my attempts to correct it. I have been fearful that one day I will run out of gas in the middle of nowhere or for the car to just break down. I have read that many people are having similar problems with their Nissan, this seems to be a on going problem for this manufacturer.
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.
The last few times I have tried to pump gas . It spills out of the fill pipe after a few seconds of fueling. I am afraid of going to the gas station and filling the gas as it is very dangerous not only for me and the car but also to the gas station and people in the vicinity. Your immediate attention to this issue will be greatly appreciated. . Read more...
