2015 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

AFTER RECALL WAS COMPLETED, MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WITH NO WEIGHT ON THE SEAT. THIS HAPPENS STATIONARY AND MOVING.

THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP AT THE DEALER FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL FOR THE 5TH TIME NOW THE FIX WAS SUPPOSED TO TURN ON THE AIRBAG WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN THE SEAT. ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE AIRBAG REMAINS OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT WHILE DRIVING THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THEY'RE REPLACING THE CONTROL MODULE FOR THE AIRBAGS THEY HAVE RESET IT THREE DIFFERENT TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS. THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR LOOKS TO BE ABOUT THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL IT ALSO HAS ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT IT'S SUPPOSED TO REMAIN ON WHILE NO ONE IS IN THE SEAT YESTERDAY I VIDEOTAPED IT BEING OFF WHILE NO ONE WAS IN THE SEAT THEY STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND COULD END UP IN INJURY OR DEATH IF IN AN ACCIDENT

I HAD MY OIL CHANGED @ NISSAN OF GRAPEVINE & THEY TOOK MY CAR THROUGH THE CAR WASH WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. DRENCHING & DAMAGING THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, SEATS, FLOOR BOARD, ELECTRONICS ALL GOT WET & NO ONE EVER INFORMED ME, THEY TRIED TO COVER IT UP BY DRYING AS MUCH OF THE INSIDE. IT WAS ONLY WHEN WE SAT IN THE CAR & PUT MY PURSE ON THE FLOOR BOARD THAT WE REALIZED IT. WATER WAS SEEPING OUT OF THE DOOR HANDLES INSIDE THE CUP HOLDERS & ARM REST, DASHBOARD, ETC. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPT. I SPOKE WITH ASST MGR BRETT, I ALSO TOOK THE CAR RIGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP & THERE SHOWED THE SERVICE MGR MARK TOPHAM HOW WATER WAS POURING OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE SEATS, AND THROUGHOUT THE CAR. THE SCREEN ON THE RADIO WAS VERY DIM & THE SEATBELT LIGHT KEPT FLICKERING ON & OFF, THE AIRBAG ISSUE. MARK STUCK HE APOLOGIZED & SAID THEY WILL MAKE THIS RIGHT. I ALSO SPOKE WITH SAM STREET, SALES MGR, WHO AGREED, THAT THEY DID SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MY CAR & SAID HE WOULD BE SPEAKING TO OWNER MR. JOHNNY CANTRELL ABOUT A NEW VEHICLE REPLACEMENT & HAVE JOHNNY CONTACT ME DIRECTLY. I LEFT THE CAR THERE & TOOK AA RENTAL CAR. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MGR MARK TOPHAM, NEXT DAY ADVISING ME, THAT ALL THEY ARE GOING TO DO IS REPLACE THE SEAT BELT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE SEATBELT LIGHT TO QUIT FLASHING & REPLACE THE INSIDE BOTTOM CUSHION OF ONE OF THE FRONT SEAT. I ADVISED MARK, THAT THEY DESTROYED MY NEW CAR BY WATER DAMAGE & THEY OWE ME A NEW VEHICLE REPLACEMENT, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY TRIED TO HIDE THE FACT & NEVER DISCLOSED IT OR CHANGED THE OIL TO BEGIN WITH. HE SAID HE WOULD LET THE OWNER JOHNNY CANTRELL KNOW & HAVE HIM CALL ME. I NEVER RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE OWNER JOHNNY CANTRELL, NOR IS THE COMPANY WILLING TO MAKE RIGHT WHAT THEY DID WRONG. I NEED HELP IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE, PLEASE!!!! THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!!!

THE FIRST ISSUE OCCURRED JULY 18. DURING MY TRIP TO VIRGINIA, I BEGAN TO LOSE BRAKING. THE CAR WOULD THEN SHUT OFF. I WAS ENTERING INTO ARLINGTON, IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA. THIS ISSUE WAS DANGEROUS TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. EVENTUALLY, THE CAR SHUT OFF EVERY TIME I BRAKED. IT WAS TOWED TO PASSPORT NISSAN IN VA, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS TRANSMISSION/TORQUE CONVERTER ISSUES. THE NEXT EVENT OCCURRED ON PULASKI HIGHWAY IN MARYLAND DURING RUSH HOUR. I PULLED OUT OF A CONVENIENCE STORE, WENT TO ACCELERATE, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THE ENGINE WAS FULLY ENGAGED. AGAIN, IT WAS TOWED. I AM TOLD THIS IS ALSO A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. MY VEHICLE WAS PUSHED OFF THE ROAD BY A STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION VEHICLE AND SUSTAINED BODY DAMAGE AS A RESULT. I AM REQUESTING A BUYBACK FROM NISSAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE TACHOMETER READING FLUCTUATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS WHERE THE COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM WAS REPROGRAMMED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED AT ANY SPEED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5.

2015 SENTRA HAS A WIND NOISE THAT IS RELATED TO INTERSTATE SPEEDS AND HIGH CROSS WINDS. THE LEAST THE NOISE WILL DO IS SOUND OUT IN BEEPS AND BUZZES LOUDER THAN POLITE CONVERSATION. AT WORST IT CAN COME AS A FULL ON BLAST OF NOISE LIKE A TRUCK HORN OR SOMEONE SUDDENLY YELLING INTO YOUR RIGHT EAR WHILE YOUR CONCENTRATING ON THE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE EVER CHANGING SITUATION. NO DRIVER SHOULD HAVE TO PUT UP THIS LEVEL OF DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. MY WIFE HAS BEEN DRIVING THE WASHINGTON DC METRO AREA ROADS AND BELTWAY FOR OVER 40 YEARS. SHE HAS NEVER HAD AN AT FAULT ACCIDENT. SHE HAS NEVER GOTTEN A TICKET. THE DRIVING HERE IS A CHALLENGE DUE TO THE VERY HIGH SPEEDS THE TRAFFIC MOVES AT. MY WIFE WON'T DRIVE OVER 70 MPH. BASICALLY EVERY ONE IS BLOWING BY HER LIKE SHE'S SITTING STILL. HAVING A RANDOM LOUD BURST OF NOISE IN YOUR EAR IS UNNERVING. NISSAN STATES IT'S A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR!! MUST BE BECAUSE THE VERSA LOANER DID IT TOO. WITH THE FOCUS ON NOT HAVING DISTRACTED DRIVERS IT SEEMS ODD A MANUFACTURER WOULD PROMOTE THIS AS A FEATURE.
