Two problems related to brake sensor have been reported for the 2013 Nissan Sentra. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2013 Nissan Sentra based on all problems reported for the 2013 Sentra.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that the push button start feature failed to engage the engine. In addition, the brakes failed. The contact had to increase the braking distance in order to stop the vehicle. The contact also heard a loud metal grinding sound near the front passenger side. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on several occasions. The brake sensor was replaced, but the failure recurred. The push button start was not replaced. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 6,000.
The passengers seat air bag sensor does not recognize when there is someone sitting and will not activate. I took the car to service and the guy told me that maybe it was because I was too skinny and maybe the sensor did not recognize that there was someone is actually sitting in the passengers seat. It is very dangerous because in a car accident it will probably not work. The car also have an annoying noise each time I hit the breaks in the back right side of the car. It have been 3 months and 3 service visits and several calls to service, distributors, etc. And I have not received an answer on how or when they will fix the problem. They told me to keep using the car because it was not a safety issue, but the brakes have gone blank twice making me very nervous of using the car. Still no answer from Nissan.
