It is ridiculous that so many people with the same car have had the same exact problem and no investigation or action has been done by the NHTSA yet. As others have complained before, I have had moments where my car would have the vdc light go off and the car would begin to not accelerate over 2,000 rpms and would shake the car in a violent manner. I have had error codes p0101 and p0725 come up and dissapear through a period of six months. I have had to install a new oem mass air flow sensor to try to fix p0101 and it has returned on and off. The car has been acting much weaker than before and would have lots of hesitation whenever you would give it any gas. I have tried to search online to fix this but have come up with no definite answer. I just want my car to be reliable and that is what I expected when this car was purchased yet for it to start failing before the 100k mark, it shows how defective Nissan products are. I have put a thousand dollars trying to fix it only to find out nothing has changed. A recall needs to be done to fix this. Guaranteed last time I will buy a Nissan for sure.
Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that each time the vehicle goes over 40 mph, it start to shake. The vdc warning light illuminated. The contact coasted to the side of the road powered off the engine. The vehicle was restated but the failure recurred.

The approximate failure mileage was 144,901. Aw.
At random times the vdc off indicator will turn on while driving. It can not be turned off and it is impossible for your car to go over 40 mph without constant jerking. You have to pull over, shut down and restart your car multiple times until the indicator doesn't come back on. Some times this is impossible and will never go away until car has been shut off for an hour or so. This can occur at any time when the car is in motion or even at a stop light, the indicator will come on and the jerking will begin. Very dangerous.
Car runs fine, all of a sudden, skips into the tracton control mode and vehicle slowes to around 10 mph. Car will not accelerate. Dash check engine light comes on . Car cannot continue. After stopping, shut engine off, car will run fine, then it happens again. Safety issue, traveling at 40 mph and have your engine shut down. No warning, just happens.
