After driving my 2004 Nissan Sentra for awhile and shutting it off the engine will not start on the first try. It usually takes 2 or 3 tries to get it started. Also, if I turn off all the accessories it does start right up.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Sentra. While adding fuel to the vehicle it began to spill out of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The mechanic stated that the vapor canister needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Nhtsa recall campaign id number: 05v269000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage) may be related to the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.

Upon re-fueling my vehicle, the gasoline always comes right back out. "service engine soon" light is on. This is a serious hazard as gasoline gets everywhere and requires at least 10 minutes to refuel.

2006 Nissan Sentra has been getting progressively harder to start after it warms up and then is shut down. Happens daily. Took to Nissan dealer 3 times. They state the problem is a known issue and some models were recalled but not ours. Nissan has known about this for some time. See service bulletin ntb05-52a. They want us to pay $600. 00 to repair an obvious defect recalled on other models. We have owned this car since new and maintained all service required.

Nissan Sentra 2004 model - manufacturer defect - recall required. Dear, this is regarding my Sentra car - doing service only with Nissan dealer. Took the car 3 times to dealer for the same problem - only on the 3rd time they could find the problem. Seems they never came across this type of problem before. Brake booster does not send fluid to brake -stalls the car middle of the freeway/highway from 65/55miles to 5 miles - suddenly comes sudden halt in highway. Gave full acceleration, it doesn't move more than 5 miles/hr. Returned to car dealer again. Avoided several accidents. My services charges were $1,200 - which includes fuel system replacement, brake pads, rotors - at early stage - @39700 miles. Very bad experience with Nissan for the first time - I had altima before. It is a total manufacturer defect. I am worried as my teen age daughter and wife are driving this car. Informed Nissan, they said it is normal/common defect.

I have a 2004 Nissan Sentra, the gas gauge is reading wrong despite my attempts to correct it. I have been fearful that one day I will run out of gas in the middle of nowhere or for the car to just break down. I have read that many people are having similar problems with their Nissan, this seems to be a on going problem for this manufacturer.

The engine stops running without warning while the vehicle is in motion increasing the risk of a crash.

I bought me a 2005 Nissan Sentra 1. 8 on January of 2010. I was told by the dealer that they get great gas mileage and are a very reliable car to have. I have learned fast this was not so. My car is now not wanting to start, it is shifting very hard and sometimes wont shift and I can smell something burning especially when driving up a hill, my keypad will not work to lock or unlock my car but will open the trunk, the lock-unlock button inside the car will not work, and none of my windows will roll down. This is bs. I have told and will proceed to tell everyone I know to not buy a Nissan. This has made me not want to trust any of your vehicles again and I will probably go to a diff. Dealer and get something well worth my money. I am not paying 8,000 dollars on a car that just keeps tearing up, especially when parts are way to expensive!.

I am filing a complaint in regards the the fuel gauge/distance to empty meter. Few weeks ago it started to missread. I fill up and its already 2 bars empty. Everytime I start the car up it drops a bar and I've noticed a drastic drop in the dte of up to 50 miles on highway traveling of on 24 miles. I had the dealership look at it and try to see why and they told me that it is something that has been happening with lots of people and that it is being looked at as normal. If it is normal it would have been nice for Nissan to have sent a letter or something to car owners letting the public know that it is happening and that there isn't anything that can remedy the situation. I had my car in the shop multiple days just to find out that basically the only way it would be corrected would be if Nissan found it a recallable item since there is no code to work with when they put it on a machine. I feel that it should be looked at as a safety issue cause its obviously malfunctioning equipment, if its not reading right it could easily lead to me being stranded on a highway due to incorrect fuel readings.

Most of the time when I try to turn on the car I have to try 2 or 3 times in order for it to turn. The car sounds like it will turn on but it will not, therefore I have to continue turning the key and try again. Sometimes when I accelerate the car will not responce, it will take a while to do so.

The last few times I have tried to pump gas . It spills out of the fill pipe after a few seconds of fueling. I am afraid of going to the gas station and filling the gas as it is very dangerous not only for me and the car but also to the gas station and people in the vicinity. Your immediate attention to this issue will be greatly appreciated. . Read more...

Upon re-fueling my vehicle, the gasoline comes right back out. "service engine soon" light is on with a code of p1446. It is defined as "evap canister vent control valve (closed)".

Consumer states that their 2008 Nissan Sentra is not getting the gas mileage as stated in the advertisements. The consumer stated from the time he drove the vehicle off the lot, he has never received more than 16-18 miles per gallon and he is presently getting 15 mpg. He was under the impression that the vehicle would get 25 mpg in city driving and 33 mpg highway driving on average.

There is a recall on 2005 Nissan Sentra's with the vapor return hose and I took my car to hove Nissan dealer in bourbonnais IL and they told me that there was no recall on my car but when I look it up on the internet it is telling me that there is a recall on 2005 Nissan Sentra with the same problem that I am having with mine I also took my car to be diagnosed at the dealership and they told me the same thing that my vapor hose is in need of repair. My car is not allowing me to put gas in my car and I am loosing gas and running out of gas, I also understand that the engine can also ignite in a fire.

I have problem with the fueling of the car, it started around may 2009 and my service engine light has been on since March 2008 and just yesterday I checked out the code at one of repair shop it is indeed p1446.

A/c unit never worked. Radio unit never worked. Fuel gauge was defective. Car was bought new and unused.

Car began running rough, had trouble starting, check engine light stayed on. Didn't drive much after problem. Took to dealer (leitzinger imports) where I attend college, penn state university. Problem diagnosed as p0462 - fuel/sensor circuit, as per TSB. Engine control unit needs reprogrammed which was done. My father picked up after fixed & service personnel mentioned it was a known problem with this car. Nissan north America was contacted & my father spoke with a helpful rep seeking reimbursement for work. File number with Nissan is 5463960. No known recalls, reimbursement denied but might have been different if we owned more Nissans. Was mentioned to rep that no parts were replaced which indicates it was a computer/program malfunction & not fault of owner.

My engine failed again while driving 70 mphs on the freeway, the very day after the car had been repaired for yet another defect sensor. It was a miracle I did not crash and kill anyone including myself. Each and every time I have taken the car in, I have requested it be checked for a short in the wiring. Each time I was told no. I later learned thar meant if it didn't show up on the computer, then they wouldn't look for it specifically. Following the latest hazard, I got in Nissan's face. Nissan found a defect oxygen sensor this time. Upon retesting the vehicle, the emc (the brain of the vehicle) was found to be defective. I was also told had I driven the car any longer, the air conditioning unit would have blown too. Well, that explains all the lousy gas mileage this past year. So, here it is a week later and my vehicle remains in the shop with a back ordered emc with no available stock date in sight. I am renting a vehicle and am receiving very little assistance from Nissan as to getting a rental vehicle in the meantime. I am quite concerned I have purchased a brand new spanking yellow lemon. I am quite concerned this vehicle, even with a new emc, will produce other defective sensors once the warranty has expired due to wear and tear from the old one. There are 45 sensors in the vehicle and only 5-10 have blown so far. I am quite certain others are close to failure too. I am just as concerned when both the Nissan representative and the service manager told me this part has been on back order for a very long time as so many vehicles have endured this problme, that the vehicle has not yet been recalled.

Gas fuel leaks out of my port when I am parked face up on a 15 degree hill on a sunny day. The spilled gas creates a serious fire and health hazard. I have taken my car to a local authorized Nissan dealer more than four times to fix the problem, but the problem still continues. *****dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****734338.
