general problems of the 2017 Nissan Sentra

Car lost power, pressing down on accelerator does not move car.

My 2017 Nissan Sentra s has a very serious problem whenever my rpm reach 3. 5 to 4. It starts jerking and I can't accelerate anymore,in one occasion after the jerking stop I couldn't drive no more than 5 miles per hour. I have checked for any visible issues but none. No warning lights come on, I carry a scanner with me obd2 but it doesn't have any codes. I have gone online to find a solution but I'm coming across hundreds of people with the same issue but no solution. I called the dealer and I was told that since the car is salvaged there is nothing they can do the car still jerking I just to keep it under or at 3rpm but I can never get on the freeway due to this issue.

Steering wheel went unsteady. All warning lights went off. Speedometer failed. Unable to shut off the engine and unable to detect key while having the key in place. My safety and others are at risk each time this happens due to not been able to have control of the vehicle speed while having unsteady steering wheel and not knowing of the possibility of breaks failing while trying to drive to a safe place. This has happen about 5-8 times this year. Nissan replaced the ipdm and has continue to failed multiple times after. They have not been able to detect the cause. I have records of each time it has happen and one of those times was while driving on highway. My life and others have been at risk.

On January 29th 2022, we drove the car on the interstate at about 65-70 mph for over two hours when suddenly, the vehicle completely shut off. We were able to navigate safely into the shoulder while the power steering, dashboard, and engine were all completely off. No lights or other errors appeared. We took the car to an auto zone where they checked and cleaned the battery from corrosion. Assuming we were fine, we embarked on the three hour journey home on the same highway the next day. We drove the car for about 45 minutes short distances with no errors. As we got ready to return home, we got on the highway again. About 30 minutes into the drive going the same speed, the car shut down again. No warnings or errors like the last time. We took the car to a Nissan dealership in monroeville, PA. They held the car for a week doing inspections and say that there are no errors. I'm wary of the safety of the vehicle and nervous to drive a car that unexpectedly shuts down on the highway.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that his daughter was driving the vehicle and had it parked to clean the interior of the vehicle. While placing her hand on the steering wheel, the steering column became loosened. The contact had an independent mechanic arrive at the residence and inspected the vehicle and tightened a loosened linkage to bolt on the steering column. Several days later while the contact’s daughter was driving, the steering wheel loosened. The driver continued to drive until the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The driver's vehicle was then towed to the local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000. The VIN was not available.

My car have been giving me problems such as cutting off in the middle of driving and I don't seem to be going over 45 when this happen I took it to Nissan to get it fixed and still does the same thing without warning the car locks the steering wheel and brakes the lights on the dash light up and the car cuts off.

Car runs fine then when you stop and try to restart it, a message comes up �warning no key detected, system error�. The car is stationary and will not start and everything is shut down. You never know when this will happen.

I have experienced the same issues as described in �service brakes problem of the 2014 Nissan Sentra 49�, which was reportedly similar to investigation "pe14-014". While driving a rental vehicle on a highway (left lane) at approximately 65 mph, all of a sudden it accelerated and it was as if the vehicle took over the steering - I could not keep the steering wheel straight and the car started moving between lanes and eventually I hit the guarding rail by the right lane and stopped. There was damage to the vehicle and it was very scary but I did not have a scratch. I was able to start the car again but I had to have it towed as I was too scared to drive it again. I thank my lucky stars that there were no other vehicles in either lane during the accident or I would not be writing this report today. I believe the car only had about 1500 km. I can`t believe I survived.

Tl-the contact owns a 2017 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that whenever their driving, the vehicle swerves from side to side. This happened whenever they drove the vehicle and the bumpy ride made the contact car sick. Their power steering went bad and it was very hard for the contact to make turns. The steering wheel made an abnormal rattling noise that occurred. The vehicle was taken to fred anderson Nissan 9225 glenwood Ave, raleigh, nc 27617 (919) 324-3443 where the vehicle was diagnosed. The test could not replicate the problems. A master technician test drove the vehicle and ignored the failures and said their was no problem the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and they sent in the master technician that denied all of the failures. The failure mileage was 11 miles. Jw.

A static-like noise come out whenever the steering wheel is turning right two mechanics form Nissan dealers have check the car and noticed the noise but both of them could not diagnose how/why the noise came out.

I"m documenting the scary situations I've experinced with my 2017 Nissan Sentra sr turbo. On 7/31/17 the vehicle started to stall at an intersection, then came to a complete stop. The engine turned off and I was left without any ability to controll the car. I was able to get it started again trying to make it back home it barely made it at a maximum speed of 10 miles/hr. It had to be towed to a dealer for serviced it was completelly undrivable. They said the battery needed to be replaced. I drove back to work after the repairs. That evening leaving work the same thing happened. Had to call again to have the car towed to the dealer again. The next day I got a call from the service person telling me the alternator had gone out, and that the part would take 2 weeks to come in. Meanwhile I contacted Nissan corp. To le them know of the situation and the other various times I'd to bringin the car in for repairs since I purchsed it brand new in 1/14/17 . I told them this car is putting my life and others in danger and that I belived it was a lemmon. A few days later I got a call telling me that my case had been moved up in their priority list, however they did't let me know that this situation was happening to other custormers. Last week I got a call telling me that Nissan corp was in no possition to take the car back, but that they were willin to offer me either $1000. 00 back or an extended warranty on the car of 100. 000 miles/8 years, which at this point I'm not willingto comit to either one.
