general problems of the 2017 Nissan Sentra

When I go up hill my car doesn't want to automatically shift, my rpms start revving, and the car won't go over 50 mph. It's been an on going issue since I purchased the vehicle in 2020. Ive taken it to Nissan on more than a couple occasions and the assured me there was no issues. Now as of last week after I brake my car loses driving power but doesn't lose actual power. Now my check engine light is on.

Pressing on the gas pedal would not accelerate the car. This was intermittent. With cruise control set, the car would no longer maintain the set speed. Both of these occurred repeatedly and while going different speeds. This lasted for 2+ weeks until the dealer was able to find the defect. Nothing was recorded on the car's error messages. The dealership was unable to find the cause and eventually called Nissan's engineering department at corporate. They were aware of the issue in other vehicles that would also stop accelerating and provided a possible solution to the Nissan dealership. The dealer charged us to replace a "brake switch" which was randomly triggering a braking event even though the brake pedal was not touched or engaged.

Found out by someone else about recall on my car about the stop switch and transmission on car then took it to petro Nissan and they told me they voided my recall and fixed it but it was never fixed because the situation has started on my car and with the transmssion started messing up with battery being drained with stop switch problem and my airbag light blinking off and on with me surfing the internet I found to where theres a recall on electrical ignition . Air bags and with the brake light switch I need this solved ASAP please and will need a loaner are rental as its being fixed please again because every dealer I have been to and had check it refused to fix it without charging me alot of money.

The car experienced sudden lack of power in the middle gears and was unable to accelerate. At the same time it displayed the sliding car icon indicating a brake issue. It came and went for a couple of weeks and then just would not pick up speed in the middle gears. The car is a 6 speed manual. The code thrown was for a manifold control valve failure. We could not get Nissan to schedule a repair so we took it to an independent who had to replace the entire manifold as no service parts were otherwise available. They could find no reason for the sliding car icon to have kept coming on. Even after the manifold replacement it continues to do so at random times. It causes concern over the brakes which is disconcerting at the least. The sudden loss of acceleration while the problem was going on also caused a few scary moments. Nissan was contacted and declined to reimburse us nor did they offer to check the car. This car has been serviced by the dealer exclusively except for the manifold replacement and the service schedule was adhered to. It is a 2017 model and now has under 45,000 miles. It had about 41,000 when the problem occurred. No reason for such an early failure. It is a relatively rare model so no information was available.

On several occasions rear brake lights fail to function and car will not start. No warning it just happens on occasion. We understand there is a recall on matter however have not received a recall. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

About 6 months ago I had the brake light switch repaired because my car wouldn’t start due to the brake lights not coming on. So yesterday I’m almost was rear ended due to m break lights not coming on, and then got stranded at midnight , by myself, out of town. Finally I put both of my feet on the break and pushed as hard as I could and it started. Called Nissan in tracy, CA they stated there’s no fix and to have it towed there if it won’t start. Well what if someone slams into me? they also did not offer to change the switch like the safety recall states they should. This dealership has now put my safety and my children’s safety at risk.

I got thiz note couple weeks late you guys dinr warn me its was defective I crashed for this recal reason the lights war having problems when iwas driving and of and on and the emgine started to rev and the saftey to turn steering wheel locked and I crashed veichle turn of while that happen then slamed into side walk and firehidrant frip me over I lost my car becausebof thiz now tjat I got this recal youguys destroid my confort now I panic and lost my car.

The car's brakes stopped responding in the highway and the car hit one side of the road (it was snowing) then it cut 3 lanes and went all the way to the other side and hit the wall again. The impact was high, the vehicle has major damage but the airbags never deployed.

Part 2 of my first complaint about the 2017 Nissan Sentra. There is a bug in my car and I hired 'bug sweeper USA' to find the bug and remove it and they said there isn't a bug and to die. I am frightened and want the bug/transmitter removed, it is against the law in the united states and I want them arrested. I have to trade it up for a better car because I found out that it doesn't have front real drive. This car has terrible blind spots and rear drum breaks. I didn't notice that before it or I wouldn't have bought it. I feel unsafe also because it is terrible going up hills and accelerating. I test drove it on flat roads. I think these cars should be remove from the road and discontinued. I have never bought a car this terribly engineered.

My car is having the issue where when the brake is pressed it does not detect it and the car will not start, also the abs and traction control lights remain on there are other cars that Nissan is recalling for the same issue yet this one has yet to get a recall making it a very unreliable and unsafe issue.

When in a stationary position and off the car's automatic start will not start the car even when pressing on the brake petal and pressing the automatic start button. The car will cycle through the electronic warning on the dashboard to say - press the brake pedal and press the start button. The car will not start. Instead it will cycle through the radio coming on and the dash illuminating and then to off. The car will not start. It first occurred on 11/26/19, on two separate occasions. First occasion was attempting to leave our home garage. Second occasion was directly following occasion 1 as we attempted to leave the grocery store parking lot. The third was on 12/3/19, as we attempted to leave a metro parking garage. The vehicle will take 3-4 attempts and full cycles (5 minutes) to start the car.
