2011 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 138 UNION CITY WHEN MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUTTER LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. WHEN I STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE ELECTRICAL LOAD DROPPED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT CRANK BACK UP. I WAS ABLE TO JUMP IT OFF AND THE CAR HAD NO ISSUES I HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND ALTERNATOR TESTED BOTH ARE GOOD/. *TR

I BOUGHT A CAR FROM EMOTORS WEST LESS THAN 30 DAYS AGO AND THE CAR DIED ON ME IN THE NEXT 3 DAYS AND THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR 3 DAYS I JUST GOT IT BACK TODAY AND JUST DIED ON ME AGAIN... I JUST WANT TO GET MY MONEY BACK... *TR

VEHICLE "A" AT REST AT RED LIGHT, VEHICLE "B" ACCELERATES COLLIDING WITH VEHICLE "A" BUMPER. *TR

VEHICLE "A" AT REST AT STOPLIGHT. VEHICLE "B" ACCELERATES REAR ENDING VEHICLE "A". *TR

I AM WANTING TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND NOT SURE HOW. I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA WITH A LITTLE OVER 120,000 MILES AND HAD TO GET A NEW FUEL INJECTOR REPLACED TODAY. MY MECHANIC GAVE ME THE ORIGINAL PART SHOWING THE BACK END AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT ERODED AT THE ELECTRICAL END OF THE INJECTOR WITH NO APPARENT REASON. I BELIEVE THIS IS GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE MANUFACTURER AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW TO GO ABOUT FILING A COMPLAINT TO GET THIS INVESTIGATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A GATE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

THE VISOR ON OUR 2011 NISSAN SENTRA 2.0 S BLOCKS THE VIEW OF OUR REAR VIEW MIRROR. WE CANNOT USE OUR MIRROR SAFELY WITH THE VISOR DOWN. WE HAVE NOT TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE CHECKED. WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY CRASHES OR INJURIES IN OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS, BUT IT IS VERY NERVE WRECKING TRYING TO BACK OUT WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM EVEN TODAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY AS IT INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER MERGING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHE ATTEMPTED TO INSPECT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHEN SHE NOTICED A BURNING ODOR. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER THE VEHICLE EXPLODED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

IN 2007, NISSAN RECALLED MORE THAN 140,000 ALTIMAS DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE RELATED TO THE CARS AIR FILTER. THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE LARGE RECALL. WE OWN A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA, WHICH WE PURCHASED FOR OUR TEENAGE DAUGHTER. ACCORDING TO COURTESY NISSAN IN RICHARDSON, TEXAS, THE CAUSE OF A RECENT VEHICLE BREAK DOWN WITH OUR SENTRA WAS AN AIR FILTER FIRE, WHICH ALSO CAUSED FIRE DAMAGE TO THE AIRBOX. THIS IS THE SAME DEFECT WHICH RESULTED IN NISSAN'S 2007 RECALL. (I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE FIRE-DAMAGED AIR FILTER AND AIRBOX, AS WELL AS THE FIRE-DAMAGED PARTS.) THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS AND UNRESOLVED SAFETY ISSUE, ONE THAT NISSAN PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED AND PROACTIVELY ADDRESSED WITH THE 2007 RECALL. NISSAN CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT HAS DENIED THAT THE ISSUE WITH THE 2007 ALTIMAS IS THE SAME ISSUE WITH OUR 2011 SENTRA, EVEN THOUGH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP STATED CLEARLY TO US IN WRITING THAT THE AIRBOX/AIR FILTER CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE AIR FILTER IN A TWO-YEAR-OLD CAR SHOULDN'T CATCH ON FIRE. AND IT CERTAINLY SHOULDN'T CATCH ON FIRE IF AIR FILTER FIRES IN NISSANS WERE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO RESULT IN A MAJOR RECALL OF NISSAN VEHICLES IN 2007. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BEFORE ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT SMELLED GASOLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.
