My auto slipped from park to drive Sunday morning, December 16, 2007 with no warning. We had a terrible snow storm and I had my car in park while clearing the windshield and it slipped from park to drive. This has happened before while driving where it will slip from drive to neutral. My locks also locked as soon as I shut my doors after started my auto. I have power locks and the doors should not have locked with the key in the ignition. I was locked out of my car for over an hour until I could get a tow truck to my home to open my car.

This car has been a lemon since purchased. The drivers door handle quit working, the transmission chirps when shifting, it idles rough, and it turns over probably 40 times before starting. Dealership states since it has 36,000 miles on it that it will cost an estimated $1700. 00 to fix. This car had problems from the date of purchase. Beware of the Sentra.

Interior power lock rocker switch fails to engage door locks on all four doors, and actually opens the door locks instead of closing them. As I have said on my previous complaint, if you want to stay alive, stay away from Nissan cars and trucks.
