My car Nissan Sentra 2010 broke down on parking lot at my workplace (lack of electricity) on Nov 30, 2010. At that time I was not aware about a recall for positive cable to car's battery. With my colleagues at work we tried to use jumping cables to start the engine. After unsuccessful attempts car was towed to kendrick's Nissan in lafayette indiana. The next day dealer's technical adviser told me that ecm is broken and it looks that I burned it during re-start engine attempt using wrongly (reversing) cables. He added that I broke a warranty and I have to pay $871 for repair. I believe that diagnosis is not correct and that the reason for car starting problem was faulty connection cable which could also cause some other damages during a re-start attempt.

The car ran fine, until one day the electrical system seemed to die (all the lights on the dash illuminated) and the car seemed to lock itself up. The power steering stopped functioning and made it hard to drive. After pulling over to restart it, it would not. At first I thought it may be the battery, but when I took it to the dealer they were unable to figure out the exact problem. It's been nearly a week since the problem started and no resolution yet. I chose to report this because when the car began to malfunction it became very unsafe to operate. Since I was in a fairly residential area it wasn't hard for me to pull over and get help, but had I been on a major roadway I could see this problem being potentially disastrous. I also feel that this problem needs to be more closely looked at since the technicians were not able to accurately identify the problem because it had yet to be seen until I brought my car in.

Went to get an oil change today and the mechanic pulled the dipstick and discovered that the half of the plastic handle that the dipstick was attached to had broken off. We luckily were able to remove the dipstick from home with a pencil and tape, however this signifies a more common problem that this vehicle is made of shotty parts. I had to get a tune-up at 25,000 miles, my battery has corrosion problems that have been communicated multiple times to the dealer with no fix, and my computer died at 40,000 miles and had to be replaced. I will now have to purchase a dipstick since they used a shotty plastic part that corroded and broke. This seems to be a very common problem. It may not be a safety hazard, however, the manufacture needs to be held liable. . Read more...
