My daughter was driving down the freeway and slowed down going so me ra�l road tracks and the. Car stalled, it scared her a lot being she was on the freeway, she was abel to pull over half scared to death because the steering wheel got stiff not knowing the car had stalled and as you know when a car stalles and your ignition is on on all your warning lights cycle in the middle of a busy freeway, she was very fortunate she did not have a accident, this happened all of a sudden, had never done it before, my son took it to get it checked at a parts store and said it had a bad battery so he replaced it. She's a college student, after night class was going back to her apartment, getting off the freeway on to the ramp came to a light and turned green so she did not have to stop as she was turning car stalled again in the middle of the intersection, she panicked because she thought a car or truck would rear end her in the middle of the intersection. Car stalled and did not want to start for a few minutes until it finally srated and was able to get home. Did ot want to take any chances took it to the dealer next day and diagnostic was the crankshaft sensor was bad, seems to be working fine, I hope she does not have to go through that experience ever again. What really bothers me is that she could of had a very serious accident and now I go online and find out that there is hundreds of people going through the same experience and Nissan does not cover this defect that they say only certain models or engine size were in there recall cost over $300. 00 dollars to get it fixed, plus my car also has a other defect witch some times has a hard time starting because fuel pump looses pressure, they say there is a repair kit you can buy to fix the problem, but it is a defect and should be recalled, it cost about thorpe same amount as if you were to replace the whole fuel pump.
I brought my 05 Nissan Sentra in March 2005. I have taken my car in for regular visits, and every time for a year everything seemed fine. Then in April of 2006 my car wouldn't start. I took the vehicle to the mossy Nissan on mile of cars in national city (where I purchased the vehicle) two and each time they said they fixed it. The third time I took it back because it wouldn't start they said that I needed a new engine! and wanted me to pay for it. I was pregnant on bed rest and having to argue with the dealership and Nissan corp. That regular maintenance never revealed any problems and that if there were problems they should have caught them. I informed that they did not have to honor the 60 month warranty that I had I would just sue them. After having my husband parents argue with them because the stress during my pregnancy was just too much. They agreed to pay for the new engine. So far so good for almost another year and now the car's service engine soon keeps coming on the car is at the dealer today for the 3rd time. The car stalls out. The service man just left a message on my phone and is now saying the reason for the problem is the sensor is off?! whatever . . I am going to go pick it up . . If the problem happens again I am going to have my boss who's spouse is a lemon law attorney get involved.
The 2005 Nissan Sentra that I purchased has continued to stall while driving over 6 times during the past 18 months. It has been in the shop 6 times with the complaint of sluggish and/or stalling. The dealer has been unable to fix it and claims it is not a safety issue, however, there is a potential risk to be rear-ended when it appears I am moving forward and suddenly stop! the stall has happened as I leave a sitting position either going forward or reversing. The first stall happened after the car was only one week old. When we called to complain to the service department, they mentioned that happens sometimes with new cars working out the kinks. The dealers multiple attempts to fix it have been unsuccessful and the car is currently with the dealer-once again.
