2001 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

DEFECTIVE CRANK POSITION SENSOR, WHICH CAUSED ENGINE TO CEASE TWICE WHILE DRIVING. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER, WHO SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. MEANWHILE, WENT TO NISSAN WEBSITE AND FOUND THE EXACT CAUSE. I THEN CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WAS INFORMED MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I THEN CALLED DEALER'S SVC MGR, WHO SAID HE WASN'T SURE. I TOLD HIM I SPOKE WITH THEIR CONSUMER DEPT AND THEY CONFIRMED THE CAR HAD A RECALL PROBLEM. HE CALLED BACK 2 HRS LATER AND SAID MY CAR WAS FIXED. I ASKED ABOUT THE $65 TOWING REFUND. HE SAID TO CALL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. ALL OWNERS OF 2001 NISSAN SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE NOTIFIED OF THIS DANGER. *NLM

RIGHT REAR WHEEL LOCKS AND DOES NOT ROTATE, AT TIMES, NOT ALL OF THE TIME. DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. SAYS, "PROBABLY THE CHANGES IN THE WEATHER." STARTED IN DECEMBER, 2002, AND IS CONTINUEING TO DATE.

THE STEERING WHEEL MADE NOISE. ON ONE OCCASION THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND SHAKE WHILE MAKING A TURN WHICH RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE HITTING A CURB. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASION BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *AK *NLM

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY BOTH FRONT TIRE TREADS SEPARATED FROM THE WHEEL. THE TIRES WERE DUNLOP. *NLM

THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.*JB DEALERSHIP REPLACED CRANK POSITION SENSOR. *TT

WHEN A TURN WAS MADE, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL IMPACTED THE CURB. WHICH RESULTED IN THE PULLEY BOLT BREAKING. *JB

MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH 2001 SENTRA. STEERING HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY TIGHTER. DEALER CLAIMS NO PROBLEM. CRUNCHING NOISE FROM SHOCKS/STRUTS WHEN DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMPS OR WHEN EXITING DRIVEWAY ONTO ROAD (UNEVEN PAVEMENT). WORSE WHEN COLD. DEALER CLAIMS NO PROBLEM. BRAKES MAKE SCRAPING NOISE WHEN APPLIED. WORSE WHEN COLD. CAR HAS BECOME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE - TIGHT/DIFFICULT STEERING AND NOISY SUSPENSION. DRIVES LIKE A 10 YEAR OLD CHEVY INSTEAD OF A 2 YEAR OLD JAPANESE CAR. I SHOULD HAVE KEPT MY HONDA!!!*JB
