The electronic steering control unit stops working while driving. This is dangerous and a known problem. The parts are on back order because all available supply in US is depleted. Also the front sensors for safety turn off in the rain.

Battery drained overnight after a day of normal use. Upon trying to start the vehicle, there is a message that states the key is not present and to get it near the push-button. After multiple attempts, the battery was checked with a voltmeter, the battery was bellow 9-volts. The vehicle had to be jump started and taken to the dealer. Battery was replaced, the report says the electrical system is in order and that was only a faulty battery

The battery in my car died out of nowhere. I tried to start my car leaving from work and it wouldn’t start. I initially thought the battery in my key fob was dead because the screen in my car kept saying I needed to place the key near the push to start. Even though I already placed it directly on top of the button. I got someone to jump my car and it finally started. After that the battery still is not holding a charge. I have gotten my battery jumped 3 times since then( once a day) and the dealership charged it at the service center. The service advisor confirmed the issue is with the battery. Every time I turn my car off, it won’t start again without a jump. Also I got my car serviced by Nissan for an oil change and tire rotation on 06/21/2023. And they performed a multi point inspection of my car. On the report, everything concerning my battery was marked green. Indicating that it had no issues. My Sentra is also programmed to have a warning sensor icon/ pop up if the battery is low which never came on.

An episode of "Parasitic Drain" occurred again. I drove the car for two short trips yesterday, Saturday, May 27. This morning, Sunday, May 28, the battery was completely drained, and I had to use the physical key to open the door to open the hood. Ever since this exact experience occurred with the car about a year ago, I have been extra vigilant to make sure the radio, air conditioning, lights, everything, are turned off whenever I park and leave the car. I will report this as well to the dealer, Hart Nissan of Springfield, Virginia. Thank you.

Headlights dim when pressing the accelerator, brighten when releasing pressure on the accelerator. The problem has been continuous since purchasing the vehicle five months ago. The vehicle was inspected by the dealership service department, which advised they observed no issue.

Vehicle lunges while trying to stop. In heavy rush hour traffic vehicle nearly lurches a vehicle length while slowly applying the break. For months the dealership claimed it was “functioning as expected” 7 visits later they finally determined it is the election intake valve. Dealership refuses to replace the part and it is a known issue, was sent away 2 times without it being fixed and they are aware I’m still driving it with the malfunctioning part. Huge safety risk! Vehicle other issues have been ERG valve, motor mount, plastic parts coming off, master control switch in the door, electric intake valve, crash detection system failure and throwing codes, many more codes not provided by the dealerships. Death trap vehicle, Nissan will not address issues. Owned for 8 months 15 visits to the dealerships 2 + months out of service and still no resolution! Nissan made a lemon, not a sound vehicle, waste of time and money!
