2010 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND WHEN STANDING IN IDLE ON A CITY STREET.

CAR WILL STOP ACCELERATING NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN THIS OCCURS CAR WON'T GO OVER 45-50 MPH. HAS HAPPENED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, ON THE HIGHWAY, AND USUALLY 'CORRECTS' ITSELF WHEN I'M ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE.

THE CAR STARTED MAKING A NOISE, TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE & THEY SAID IT WAS THE BELT TIGHTENER. THE CAR WAS HAVING A HARD TIME DRIVING UP HILLS ON THE WAY HOME AFTER GETTING THE PART. IT ACTUALLY STALLED OUT AT A RED LIGHT, MAKING IT VERY HARD TO BREAK. AFTER GETTING IT HOME & REPLACING THE PART THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. WE WERE GOING TO GO BACK TO AUTO ZONE TO SEE WHY & WHILE DRIVING ON THE WAY THERE A VALVE CAME SHOOTING THROUGH THE ENGINE. IT WAS QUITE ALARMING SOUNDED LIKE A SHOT GUN WENT OFF. WE PICKED UP THE BROKEN VALVE, PARTS OF IT LOOKED MELTED, & TOWED THE CAR HOME MAKING SURE NO CARS HIT US WE PUSHED THE CAR OFF THE RD. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT ON A HWY WITH MY 5 MONTH OLD & 11YR OLD.

DIFFERENT TIMES ON HIGHWAY AND ON STREET DRIVING MY CAR IS IN GEAR, WHEN YOU START TO USE THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR TURNS OFF ,YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUT IT BACK IN PARK THEN RESTART, IT TURNS BACK ON. MY MECHANIC DOES NOT NO WHAT IS WRONG.

THE AC/HEATER STOPPED WORKING AFTER MAKING A LOUD NOISE WHEN IN USE. AFTER 4 DAYS OF HEARING THIS NOISE OFF AND ON, IT FINALLY WENT COMPLETELY OUT WITH FUMES. MY CD PLAYER ALSO STOPPED WORKING. I'VE HAD MY CAR 7 YRS., BOUGHT IT NEW, AND MAINTAINED UPKEEP. WHAT HAPPENED? NEED ANSWERS.

WHILE DRIVING APPROX 30 MPH THE AUTOMATIC WINDOWS AND LOCKS STOPPED WORKING. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE BATTERY DIED WHILE IN THE DRIVEWAY, AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY THE VOLTAGE SPIKE CAUSED THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE TO FAIL. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE OWNER THAT THIS VEHICLE'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 80,767 MILES.

AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING INTERMITTENTLY (NOT DURING MOTION). TAKEN TO DEALER TO RESET, CAME BACK ON ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. WAS TOLD AIRBAG AND MODULE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. NO CAUSE AS FAR AS I CAN TELL (NOT INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT, AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY, ETC).

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN AND I STEPPED ON THE GAS, THE CAR MADE A NOISE AND JERKED. I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE FROM THERE. I COULDN'T EVEN SHIFT TO ANY OTHER GEAR. THE CAR WAS STUCK IN A NEUTRAL POSITION, SO I WAS ABLE TO PUSH IT OFF TO THE SIDE. AFTER GETTING A TOW TO THE NEAREST SHOP, THEY DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT NISSAN HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION. (CVT) AND THEY EVEN EXTENDED THE TRANS WARRANTY TO 120K. (I HAVE 144K ON THE CAR) I DID CONTACT NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WOULD MAKE A SMALL EXCEPTION. THEY TOLD ME TO HAVE A NISSAN DEALER CONFIRM THE CVT WAS BAD. I DID SO AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS BAD. AFTER I REPORTED BACK TO NISSAN THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HELP ME IN ANY WAY. THE COST TO GET IT REPLACED IS ABOUT $4200
