One problem related to cruise control has been reported for the 2015 Nissan Sentra. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2015 Nissan Sentra based on all problems reported for the 2015 Sentra.
Beginning a week ago, the vehicle has spontaneously slowed without warning, at various speeds, and disengages the cruise control. This has happened on the interstate while cruising along at 65 mph, when pulling out of a parking lot at 5 mph, and everywhere in between. The accelerator becomes unresponsive until you take your foot completely off and try to depress again (sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times). This has happened once while driving, then it is fine for the rest of the trip (hours), as well as continuously throughout a trip. The Nissan dealership said they couldn't fix it because there were no error codes and they could not reproduce the problem by test driving. After the first trip to the dealership, I noticed a correlation between when it is raining and the frequency of the problem. When the wipers have been turned on while the cruise control is on, the car disengages the cruise control and slows, with an unresponsive accelerator. Also, the "slippery road" icon appears on the dash board when the road is dry and spontaneously disengages the cruise control. This is a very dangerous issue, especially when attempting to pull out into traffic, merge onto the interstate, navigate hills, or just driving with other vehicles behind you. I will call the dealership again tomorrow morning now that there seems to be a connection with the vdc (vehicle dynamic control) system and see if they can pinpoint the issue now. Should I just leave my new car parked in the garage and not be able to drive it ever again? maybe I can use it for a planter.
