The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that the vehicle was difficult to start. The contact stated that the failure recurred after a Volkswagen dealer had completed the vehicle inspection. The dealer shifted to neutral(n) and pushed the vehicle into the garage.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 111,626.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? brake light switch how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? per multiple reports this could cause the car not to start or to indicate to cars that the vehicle is slowing down and preparing to stop has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? back in 2019 I was having this issue and in 2020 took it to a Nissan dealership to have it looked into and repaired (unknowingly that there was a recall for this specific issue) were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? after experiencing this years ago I knew what steps needed to be taken in order to have this resolved. This started to happen again on the night of 12/15/24.

My gear shift malfunctions. It is stuck in park and I have to use a screw driver to move the gear shift. Then the gear shift is loose this could cause an accident. I'm doing my best to keep it secure but need it replaced. Also think it has to do with a part u see the brake.

We have already paid money to have the recall issue fixed with a dealer. I am not sure if it will be the same fix but we would request to be refunded for the parts and labor we had done on the car for the same issue.

My fuel pump went out.

I am having issues with my car not starting. I see so many other people are having this same problem. I have had this happen to me several times within a month and a half. I go outside to get in my var and it will not start. I have to get jumps and after several times it will start. All other lights be on the car just won't start. Got a new battery from Nissan on Thursday oct 8th and still having the same issue as well as a whinning noise coming from under the hood when the cat has not even been driven. We need some help. This is a serious issue that needs to be fixed. People paid alot of money for theses cars not to start. We never know when we are going to be broke down or stranded somewhere.

Car started struggling when going at higher speed above 60 mph especifically when going uphill even if its a small hill on the freeway also when going down hill seems like something is also wrong with the brakes and makes weird sounds almost like the brakes dont want to stop the car took to a mechanic but no warnings come up and seems to be transmission which I did get a notice through mail that their could be possible recall for transmission. The car is in motion when this all happens but as soon as I turn it on it starts making a weird sounds that is out of the ordinary.

Unable to start vehicle due to faulty break switch. I tried to push the break and start the car. It doesnt start.

The drivers door handle comes off. The car bucks and loses power,the tachometer needle moves up and down. Rpm sensor?. The brakes (rear drums crunching). I have 3 different bills for the brakes. Im trying to get ahead of this situation with the bucking of my car. Read up on complaints due to trouble with Nissan transmission. I don't want to be stuck with back and forth b. S. About who is responsible etc. I own it outright. Want it taken care of. Its highway driving when it bucks back and forth and loses power.

I purchased a car from wilson motor company and was told it was only used as a rental by their customers while their car was in the shop. I have had issues with the car and they have fought me on warranties to cover. When I went to a different dealership they pulled the autocheck report to find that the car had been purchased from an auction in CA and is showing a title brand for frame or structural damage record and a possible odometer rollback. The tires are wearing unevenly and are not safe and I have already replaced the brakes out of my pocket. I can't trade the car in due to this report. I was lied to and now I can't get warranty service or able to trade the car in for something else. I cannot get the general manager to return my messages.

New car with several incidences when traveling at low speeds and needing to stop the vehicle the breaks felt sluggish, the vehicle would not stop where I intended, and it made sounds. I went to several Nissan dealerships and they each told me the break system was ok and I just needed to get the feel of a Nissan Sentra. I told them that was not the case because I owned several Nissan Sentras. They said there was nothing they could do. I increased my stopping distance because I didn't trust the car. I got into a minor fender bender. The car in front of me only had a small scratch. I was going at low speeds when the car in front of me stopped. Under normal conditions I had plenty of room to stop. However, my car didn't behave normally. I hit the break as hard as I could, but it was sluggish and still moving. The front-end emergency breaking system started beeping. I couldn't swerve the car because there where cars on my sides. I continued hitting the break as hard as I could, and my system beeped and flashed again. The system couldn't fully stop the car either. Before moving my car I called the Nissan number the manual says to call. I told them what happened and asked them to get the event data recorder information. They told me to bring it to a dealership. The dealership said they only downloaded codes and what I was describing was the transmission and after looking into it they decided they would replace a valve in the transmission under warranty. They said that a part also needed replacing because of the accident. They said the part was on backorder. I asked for documentation of what they were going to do to my car and they refused and said I would get it at the end. Now the part is further backordered. They won't pay for a rental and are now saying that if I want out of my lease they need to do an 8 week investigation. I wanted the investigation over 2 months ago!.

Break failed to stop the car. Break pedal was depressed all the wayto the floor. Just didn't come to full stop. Happened 2 days in a row. The latter incident hit the car in front. It's a real hazard on the road. Now the car is being serviced and loaner car is being provided by the dealer. Carson Nissan in California.

H had problems with noise and brakes, apart with the transmission I have take 9 times to the dealers for nothing.
