Every since I have had the 2013 Nissan Sentra the brakes make an extremely loud sound when applied. The dealer insists that nothing is wrong with them but, I beg to differ. The loud scrubbing sound when brakes are applied is not normal for any new car. I am highly disappointed.
1st incident with our new 2013 Nissan Sentra occurred @ 247 mi. , in our possession less than 1 week, going 50mph (2 children in car with me), car just shut off. Dealer reset computer symstem. It has been down hill since, I took it in today for the 5th time since it was purchased 3. 5 months ago (it now has 3700mi). Repeated issues with rpm's running high anywhere between 2,000 & 4,000 or at an all most stop will flutter down to 0 like it's going to stall. Crackling/rattling noises from the driverside dashboard. Now also coming from the a-pillar (?). Issues with speakers (static/crackling noises) had the same break and airbag light issues. There is now growling noises coming from front, car seems to "buck" around 2-4k rpm's. Oh yeah my driver door handle is now falling apart. Did I cover all the problems I have had with a $20+ brand new car???? I think so, but then again we haven't owned it all that long! I did open a claim with Nissan consumer affairs when it was in on it's 3rd visit, I was denied a repurchase, but rest assured a Nissan certified repair shop will fix any problems. Waiting on dealership to decide if they can do anything?! next step attorney!!!!!.
Takata recall. When yu take off & it gets up in speed the car jerk. When you stop at a red light or stop sign & then go, it jerk like it's trying to take off. But it barely move & jerk pretty hard. It seem like the car transmission is not changing out. While the car is jerking when you take off. It's like the idles up & down. When you brake it sounds like you walking on squeaky hard wood floor. The airbag does not work at all. I.
Extremely loud increasing grinding rear drums brakes noise, when applying the brakes the local sale distributor dealer representative tell me that there is no solution for that yet. There may be a death risk concern because are the brakes of the car . . . . . . . . . . .
When I am stopped at a light, the car seems to creep forward when brake pedal depressed. I need to continually apply more pressure and the pedal becomes spongy. Also, I now notice that when stopped or going slow, engine fumes are coming from my air/heating vents. Don't know if its exhaust or an oil leak somewhere. Car only has 400 miles on it and I've had car since end of February 2013.
