2015 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I BOUGHT A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA SL. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE. STILL NOT FIXED. TALKED TO NISSAN CORPORATE TO FILE THE LEMON LAW. THEY DENIED ME. THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE GOING TO FLY OUT A SPECIAL TECHNICIAN TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY SAID THAT I NEED TO DRIVE MY CAR THAT DOES NOT HAVE WORKING AIR BAGS UNTIL THE TECH COMES OUT, WHICH MAY TAKE UP TO A MONTH. THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER A RENTAL CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY WIFE CAN RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT UNTIL IT GETS FIXED.

DRIVER'S SEAT BELT KEEPS RELEASING WHILE DRIVING. LATCH DOES NOT FULLY ENGAGE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FASTEN BELT. ONGOING ISSUE SINCE LATE JUNE. SUPPOSEDLY DEALERSHIP ORDERING PARTS TO REPAIR IT BUT STILL HAS NOT HAPPENED.

PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF (INDICATING AIRBAG IS ON) WHEN PASSENGER SITS IN SEAT. THIS IS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AS IT WILL SOMETIMES GO OFF AND SOMETIMES NOT. MULTIPLE TRIPS TO DEALER AND CALLS TO NISSAN CUSTOMER RELATIONS HAVE NOT RESOLVED ISSUE. WERE TOLD ON LAST CONTACT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. PASSENGER WEIGHS 118 LBS. AND THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM WHEN SHE RIDES IN OTHER VEHICLES, I.E. HYUNDAI SANTA FE AND SUBARU OUTBACK. CASE #24255363 WITH CUSTOMER RELATIONS. BYERELY FORD-NISSAN, LOUISVILLE, KY IS DEALER. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD THE AIRBAG FAIL TO OPERATE.

MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED AND AFTER THEY DID, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL STAY ON UNTIL SOMEONE OVER 100 POUNDS SETS THERE THEN IT WILL TURN OFF, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RED SEAT BELT LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD WILL STAY ON ALL THE TIME, AND YES I STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR, BOTH LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME AND THE DEALER IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IF MY CAR DOSE NOT DETECT ANY ONE HOWS LESS THAN 100 POUNDS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT MEANS MY CAR IS NOT SAFE AT ALL.

THEY HAD A RECALL ABOUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATION THAT IT MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IN A ACCIDENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I VERY CONCERN ABOUT THIS I HAD IT CHECK WHEN THEY FIRST HAD THE RECALL BUT THE LIGHT IS BACK ON. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY CAN CHECK IT TODAY BUT THE TIME OF THE APPOINTMENT I HAVE TO BE SOMEWHERE, SO I HAVE TO WAIT AND MAKE A APPOINTMENT. SO I CALLED THE RECALL NUMBER FOR NISSAN AND FILED A COMPLAIN AND WAS GIVEN A CLAIMS NUMBER [XXX] AND SHE SAID THEY ONLY DO THE ONE RECALL I VERY CONCERN ABOUT MY FAMILY SAFETY CAN YOU INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM PLEASE [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BEGINNING A WEEK AGO, THE VEHICLE HAS SPONTANEOUSLY SLOWED WITHOUT WARNING, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AND DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE CRUISING ALONG AT 65 MPH, WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT 5 MPH, AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN. THE ACCELERATOR BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE UNTIL YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT COMPLETELY OFF AND TRY TO DEPRESS AGAIN (SOMETIMES IT TAKES 2 OR 3 TIMES). THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE WHILE DRIVING, THEN IT IS FINE FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP (HOURS), AS WELL AS CONTINUOUSLY THROUGHOUT A TRIP. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES AND THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM BY TEST DRIVING. AFTER THE FIRST TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP, I NOTICED A CORRELATION BETWEEN WHEN IT IS RAINING AND THE FREQUENCY OF THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE WIPERS HAVE BEEN TURNED ON WHILE THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON, THE CAR DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL AND SLOWS, WITH AN UNRESPONSIVE ACCELERATOR. ALSO, THE "SLIPPERY ROAD" ICON APPEARS ON THE DASH BOARD WHEN THE ROAD IS DRY AND SPONTANEOUSLY DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, NAVIGATE HILLS, OR JUST DRIVING WITH OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND YOU. I WILL CALL THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING NOW THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A CONNECTION WITH THE VDC (VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL) SYSTEM AND SEE IF THEY CAN PINPOINT THE ISSUE NOW. SHOULD I JUST LEAVE MY NEW CAR PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT EVER AGAIN? MAYBE I CAN USE IT FOR A PLANTER. *TR

AIRBAG RECALL ON NISSAN SENTRA. WENT TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL. AFTER RECALL THE AIRBG LIGHT REMAINS ON WHILE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED. BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY DID ANOTHER SOFTWARE UPLOAD. LIGHT REMAINS ON WHILE SEAT IS OCCUPIED. BACK TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED "SCALES." LIGHT REMAINS ON WHILE PASS SEAT IS OCCUPIED. BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE SENDING UNIT. LIGHT REMAINS ON WHILE SEAT IS OCCUPIED. CALLED THE DEALER, WAITING FOR REPLY. THE LIGHT COMES ON ONLY INTERMITTANTLY WHILE THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED, OR RATHER FAILS TO GO OUT INDICATING THE AIRBAG IS ARMED. THIS OCCURS WHILE THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY 120 LB WOMAN, AND 200 LB MAN. APPARENTLY THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, SO FAR.

AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ONE EVENING THE ENGINE SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT A FIRE. THE FIRE DEPTARTMENT SAID IT STARTED FROM SOME PROBLEM IN THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION WE NOTICE THE HEAT OF THE FIRE DID NOT DEPLOY THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR-BAGS. NORMALLY IN MANY CASES OF CAR FIRES THE FIRE WILL DEPLOY THE EMERGENCY AIR-BAGS AND CAUSE THE CAR ALARM TO SOUND THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WITH MY INCIDENT. *TR

WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHICH IS NO LONGER THAN A 5 MINUTE DRIVE. IT WAS HEAVY RAIN OUTSIDE. ABOUT 2 MINUTES FROM MY HOME, MY LOW TIRE LIGHT WENT ON. VERY SOON AFTER MY TIRE WENT FLAT. I PULLED TO THE CURB IN FRONT OF MY HOME. THE TIRE ROLLED OFF MY CAR AND THE RIM HIT THE GROUND, DESTROYING THE RIM. MY SENTRA IS A 2015 WITH 9000 MILES ON IT, WELL MAINTAINED. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN. SHOULD THIS BE A WARRANTY ITEM OR RECALL? REPAIRS FRO RIM AND TIRE CAME TO $600.00.

OCS SYSTEM. THE RECALL SOLUTION IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE GIVE A BETTER SOLUTION. I WILL EVEN PAY. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND IT IS A DISTRACTION.
