Car has pick up issues. It has been issues when stop at signal light and I afraid behind cars may hit me. When I did research on internet found many people complained for the same issue. I did replace evap canister still has same pick up issue. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Vehicle consumes an exorbitant amount of oil creating a hazard for both vehicle owner of possible fire and for surrounding drivers due to thick smoke created. It is a safety issue with this vehicle that Nissan is aware of and has a recall campaign available if you still are within warrantee period, but not if you are outside that period even though it's no less a safety issue.

I have a 2006 Nissan Sentra s 1. 8 l. I had the crankshaft position sensor replaced a month ago due to an issue with the engine losing power. It happens mostly after the engine has reached a certain level of heat. My issue returned only a few days later after the replacement. It will come close to shutting off sitting at a stop sign or stop light. It will also lose acceleration over 3000 rpm. It will stop running if left in idle for an extended period of time. I noticed a similar recall on the 2. 5l version of the same vehicle. I contacted Nissan to see if it would be covered under this recall and they refused to cover it. I have talked to other owners of the same model and they have told me they have replaced the fuel pump and cps many times to no avail. I believe there is a definite safety issue in this car that could easily lead to an accident. I do not understand why it isn't covered under the recall that affects the similar 2. 5l version of the model. My vehicle is at 139,890 miles. It has had the sensor replaced at around 75,000 miles and around 100,000 miles.

I have a crank shaft position sensor problem in my 2006 Nissan Sentra 1. 8s which kills the engine. While driving the engine may shut off very abruptly without warning. Even while driving on the highway the vehicle may cut off. I called the dealership and they said my VIN didn't qualify for the recall even though it's within the manufacture date range for the recall. I even emailed the Nissan corporate office. It's a known issue and part of a recall but Nissan refuses to fix the problem. Only a matter of time before I get in an accident due to this known issue. I shouldn't have to pay to have a manufacturing defect fixed. When I called the Nissan dealer, I was told that I was the 3rd person that had called that day with the exact same problem and neither or the previous people were "part of the recall" either. I wonder how many accidents it'll take before Nissan will actually honor the recall.

Engine stopped while driving, vehicle still moving but no power. Tried to restart several times. After 5 mins it started, but the same issue happened again in 1 min, the car moved few blocks only and engine stopped again.

The following complaint is concerning NHTSA campaign # 07v527000 and #06v223000 both of these recalls deal with the automobile I own, a 2006 Nissan Sentra, which I purchased brand new in may 2006. I have been having major issues out of the crankshaft and camshaft sensors in the vehicle and oil intake over the last 18 months. The car would die while I was driving and became very hard to start as well as the oil intake became excessive. After 3 visits to the dealerships as well as 3 visits to local auto repair shops with only temporary fixes, I was at last informed around mid December 2012 by one of the mechanics at the local shop that there had been a recall on similar vehicles. I looked the information up and was shocked to see there was a recall in 2006 and 2007 on 2006 Nissan Sentras. After speaking with north american Nissan I learned that the recall was VIN specific and my car, while being the same make, model, and year as the vehicles recalled, was not included in the recall. I spoke with a regional manager off and on for the next few weeks who informed me in the end there was nothing they could do because the car is out of warranty. I even had a diagnostic ran at the north little rock Nissan dealership on December 21, 2012 that states "crankshaft, camshaft sensors malfunctioning but in good condition, oil extremely low(which I just had it changed a few months ago), and possible ecm problem. . . All things stated in the recall. I have looked online and this seems to be an ongoing problem with this specific automobile regardless of VIN number.

Throttle on car goes out unexpectedly. Engine is still powered on, however acceleration is not possible.

This is in reference to Nissan service bulletin ntb05-052a. I purchased a 2006 Nissan Sentra 1. 8s August 26, 2006. The summer of 2007 I started experiencing the "long engine crank time before start" issue, and have experienced this issue every summer since (but only during the summer). I currently have approximately 54,000 miles on my Nissan and just recently learned about the service bulletin that was put out September 8, 2006. I don't understand why I was never notified about this bulletin advising me of what to do, even after inquires of my issue at the Nissan dealership. Nissan no longer sells the repair kit (which I'm learning wasn't a guarantee fix) and I would probably have to buy a whole new fuel pump (that Nissan has supposedly redesigned). There is nothing wrong with the fuel pump itself, but rather a "faulty" part inside of the fuel pump. Nissan should be responsible for replacing "faulty" parts and also keeping those parts available as long as that particular year, make, and model vehicle are on the road.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while driving 10 mph, the engine hesitated without warning. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic, who advised the contact that the electronic control module needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000.

: the contact stated that after changing the oil in the vehicle, the oil cap was removed and oil was observed spurting from the tank while the vehicle was running. The vehicle was not taken to a mechanic for inspection.
