2005 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

REAR BUMPER DETACHED FROM THE REST OF CAR. WHEN TAKEN TO A BODY SHOP THE CLIPS HAD GONE BAD. *TR

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SYSTEM - CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS; THE GAS PEDAL AND THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL UNDER THE HOOD. VEHICLE WILL RUN NORMALLY AND WHEN THE TPS FAILS, IT WILL DROP ENGINE RPM TO LESS THAN 1000 RPM NO MATTER THE POSITION OF THE GAS PEDAL. MOST OFTEN OCCURS RIGHT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND IN SHIFT PATTERN BETWEEN GEARS, HOWEVER, IT CAN HAPPEN AT INTERSECTIONS OR AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY THUS CAUSING AN UNSAFE SITUATION. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE IS TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THUS RESETTING THE SENSOR. DEPENDING ON THE FAILURE LEVEL OF EITHER PART OF THE SENSOR, DEPENDS ON HOW OFTEN THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED ABOVE OCCURS. I HAVE HAD BOTH PARTS OF THE TPS REPLACED AND THERE IS STILL AN ISSUE WHERE THE ENGINE SPUTTERS AT HIGH RPM EVEN WITH NO SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CURRENTLY ON AT THIS TIME. THE ENGINE SPUTTERING I FEEL IS RELATED TO THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SYSTEM PROBLEM. EITHER WAY, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT OCCURS IN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC, INTERSECTIONS OR AT SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

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! *TR
