I own a 2006 Nissan Sentra. While driving approximately 35 mph and when I was waiting at a traffic light the gear shifted from drive to neutral after I slightly bumped against the gear shift with my arm. When I checked to confirm that it could be moved without engaging the button on the side of the gear shift I was able to shift from one gear to another without engaging the button. It appeared that the vehicles gear shift was only designed to change gears when the button on the side of the gear shift was engaged. That is a safety issue and the potential for a crash if the gear shift can easily be without engaging the button that was intended for that function. The 5-cd disc player has also stopped functioning to the point where I am unable to remove the cds that are lodged inside the player. I can only assume that they have melted inside and that is the potential for a fire. I have not notified the dealer or manufacturer of these failures at this time.

After driving approx. 50 miles at highway speeds 65-70 mph and exiting to a full stop, engine would rev up as usual but only move 1 mph. Transmission not fully engaged. This puts one in harms way with no ability to move out of the way. Occurred in all gears. Only way to get back to normal was to shut off engine and restart. This occurred three times in a row on same day (10/13/2010). Does not happen in normal suburban driving or since that day because car not taken on highway since (or before 10/13/2010). Dealer (leith Nissan apex nc) was unable to reproduce or repair because tech only drove car for 4 miles on 50 mile per hour suburban road with several stoplights.
