general problems of the 2005 Nissan Sentra

1) I heard that airbags on my car may not function as they are designed to do. There may be a recall. Please advise. 2) for the past 3-4 months, I have noticed a thumping sound/vibration when I press my brakes. It doesn't do it everyday. Some days, after the car is driven a few miles, every single time I use my brakes the first time I noticed it, I was driving and had to put on brakes suddenly and I heard it. Now it still happens, but I hear and feel a thumping underneath the floor on the left back-when there is a passanger sitting behind the driver and this sound occurs, they report to me that they can actually feel the thump under their feet. Other days I don't hear it all. If I have a full load of four people, I hear it and feel it frequently. Sometime it sounds like its under the trunk or in that back seat area. We had the car examined by a local reputable repair shop, they did not hear the thump and stated they would have to hear it or feel it in order to make any repairs. . They did examine the car and found nothing that should be making this noise, in their opinion. Do you have any suggestions on what is going on. Curret mileage: 172,000. Cell phone: 334) 549-7797.

I filed a police report and have medical bills from accident with insurance company farm bureau - brakes did not work.

I went to Nissan denville today and ws told my brakes are in bad shape. There is only about 37,500 miles on car. I am not hard on brakes, I am a 72 year old lady who lets the car roll to a stop when I can. There is absolutely no reason my brakes should be in such bad shape. What is going on with Nissan brakes?.

Lost horn for third time. A horn is safety equipment. The Nissan Sentra I own seems to be falling apart at 20,000 miles. I had horn trouble, brakes squeak like mad, windows squeak when up and down - hardly go up and down, another safety issue.

I have a 2005 Nissan Sentra bought in April, 2005. It start making noise in the rear drum brakes when I press the brake pedal. The drums in the rear of my Sentra are grabbing and letting go and making a thud noise ( I think it's the brakes anyway given that it happens with the brakes on and at low speed from about 10 to 0 mph). At around 10 mph it thumps - quickly and the thumps are spaced out longer as the car slows.

While traveling on I-95 in s. C. At about 75 mph a vehicle I was passing entered the passing lane. I swerved slightly onto the left shoulder & braked. The rear wheels locked before the front wheels causing the vehicle to spin out of control & across both lanes of traffic onto the right shoulder. The dealer in SC did not seem to think the rear wheels locking before the front was a problem. As we were lucky enough to avoid being struck by any other vehicles the only damage was flat spots on all 4 tires which caused a vibration problem until they were replaced. Nonreportable crash, no injuries an vehicle could be driven from the scene- this time!.
