NISSAN SENTRA 2017 THE GEAR JAMS WHEN PUTTING INTO REVERSE, DRIVE, AND BACKING UP FROM DRIVE WAY. VEHICLE HAS A VERY SLOW TAKE OFF UNTILL YOU PICK UP SPEED AT 40 MPH. BUT NOT ENOUGH SPEED TO PASS UP CARS,TRUCKS IN ENOUGH TIME AND THAT IS STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDDLE TO THE BOTTOM.

CAR IS DANGEROUSLY SLOW TO ACCELERATE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO A FREEWAY OR A BUSY STREET. EVEN WITH FLOORING THE ACCELERATOR, VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE PAST 40MPH FOR ABOUT 5-8 SECONDS, WHICH IN DRIVING, IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF TIME, ESPECIALLY MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY.

A STATIC-LIKE NOISE COME OUT WHENEVER THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNING RIGHT TWO MECHANICS FORM NISSAN DEALERS HAVE CHECK THE CAR AND NOTICED THE NOISE BUT BOTH OF THEM COULD NOT DIAGNOSE HOW/WHY THE NOISE CAME OUT

I"M DOCUMENTING THE SCARY SITUATIONS I'VE EXPERINCED WITH MY 2017 NISSAN SENTRA SR TURBO. ON 7/31/17 THE VEHICLE STARTED TO STALL AT AN INTERSECTION, THEN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AND I WAS LEFT WITHOUT ANY ABILITY TO CONTROLL THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN TRYING TO MAKE IT BACK HOME IT BARELY MADE IT AT A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 10 MILES/HR. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALER FOR SERVICED IT WAS COMPLETELLY UNDRIVABLE. THEY SAID THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I DROVE BACK TO WORK AFTER THE REPAIRS. THAT EVENING LEAVING WORK THE SAME THING HAPPENED. HAD TO CALL AGAIN TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I GOT A CALL FROM THE SERVICE PERSON TELLING ME THE ALTERNATOR HAD GONE OUT, AND THAT THE PART WOULD TAKE 2 WEEKS TO COME IN. MEANWHILE I CONTACTED NISSAN CORP. TO LE THEM KNOW OF THE SITUATION AND THE OTHER VARIOUS TIMES I'D TO BRINGIN THE CAR IN FOR REPAIRS SINCE I PURCHSED IT BRAND NEW IN 1/14/17 . I TOLD THEM THIS CAR IS PUTTING MY LIFE AND OTHERS IN DANGER AND THAT I BELIVED IT WAS A LEMMON. A FEW DAYS LATER I GOT A CALL TELLING ME THAT MY CASE HAD BEEN MOVED UP IN THEIR PRIORITY LIST, HOWEVER THEY DID'T LET ME KNOW THAT THIS SITUATION WAS HAPPENING TO OTHER CUSTORMERS. LAST WEEK I GOT A CALL TELLING ME THAT NISSAN CORP WAS IN NO POSSITION TO TAKE THE CAR BACK, BUT THAT THEY WERE WILLIN TO OFFER ME EITHER $1000.00 BACK OR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CAR OF 100.000 MILES/8 YEARS, WHICH AT THIS POINT I'M NOT WILLINGTO COMIT TO EITHER ONE.
