Lets start with the small stuff first: the trunk will no longer pop open from the button in back of the car (only from key and inside the car), also will tend to open while I am driving which is a significant driving hazard. The handle of the driver door is broke, no longer can I lock or open the car from the button on the door. Now to the unsafe and biggest problem of all: transmission/engine issues. On numerous occasions in the past year my car has stalled out while I was driving the car! not only did I go to the dealership numerous times for the same issue but I also had my transmission replaced (while it was still under warranty) and the problem still continues. This is an ongoing known issue with this vehicle and it should absolutely be recalled immediately. I do not understand why no one of authority has taken responsibility for these hazardous issues. It is completely unsafe and unreliable. I have many videos describing my issues along with conversations with a Nissan representative from headquarters and employees from the dealerships. I have always experienced problems with my car (even within the first couple months of purchasing it). It is not allowing me to attach documents, please let me know where they can be sent!.
There is a technicians bulletin for my car and is a known issue but Nissan wants to charge to fix the issue. The issue is the piece is malfunctioning and has to be reprogrammed. When you are trying this problem makes the car stall a bit and could be dangerous if pulling out and the car is not able to obtain a higher speed.
Tl the contact owns a 2015 Nissan Sentra. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle stalled and completely shut off. The vehicle was towed to chapman Nissan (6723 essington Ave, philadelphia, PA 19153, (215) 492-1200), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.
I am driving in my car (2005 Nissan Sentra 1. 8s) on canal pointe blvd, new jersey on 03/27/2015 and car suddenly stopped. Luckily I am on low speed and able to pull the car to the right lane. Then tried to restart the car but not started immediately but after few minutes restarted and drove for few miles then experienced slowing down. Hence towed to Nissan dealership east windsor, NJ. After diagnosis service advisors informed about failed crank sensor and need to replace. Then I remembered the similar issue happened in 2011. I was on new jersey turnpike driving around 65 mph car suddenly stopped and luckily at that time as well, I was driving in right most lane on turnpike and able to pull the car on right shoulder. After few minutes car started and then took the car to firestone, lawrenceville, NJ and they fixed the crank sensor issue. Today when I contacted Nissan told recall was only for 2005 Nissan Sentra that has 2. 5 l engine and my car not in the recall list. Again this complaint is about cost for replacement and about safety. Luckily both the times I was lucky no other car/truck behind my car. Without any pre-notice, car suddenly stalls on the road. I believe we should not allow these cars on roads unless Nissan recalls crank sensors of their cars and ensures crank sensor failures not happens again. Cars suddenly stalls on the roads without any pre-notice is unacceptable. First time when crank sensor failed, car has 95000 miles and this time car has 141000 miles. Please help on this and make sure Nissan recalls the cars that has crank sensor failures. Nissan will have data about models they get crank sensor failures. All these cars should be recalled. Do not know what to do when engine suddenly stops on the road. Please assist customers like me not meeting with accidents because of using Nissan cars those has crank sensor failures.
