2010 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

WHILE DRIVING IT I RECEIVED THE SMELL OF COOLANT AND I STOPPED THE CAR TO CHECK AND I NOTICED THE LIQUID LEAKING THROUGH A PIPE IN THE ENTRANCE OF THE HEAD BLOCK WHERE THE ENGINE THERMOSTAT IS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND DISCOVERED TINY NEEDLE POINT SIZE HOLES IN ONE OF THE TUBES. THESE HOLES WERE MADE FROM INSIDE OUT OF THE PART. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ONE OF THE CARS I HAVE HAD DOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS. I HAD TO BUY THE PART THAT COST ME $250.00. I THINK IT WAS DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURING MATERIALS.

CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME WHILE TEST DRIVING A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA. APPRX SPEED 25- 30 MPH. AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER. HOWEVER, WE WERE GREATLY AND PAINFULLY BRUISED IN ABDOMEN FROM LAP BELT..? NO SHOULDER SORENESS SO DO NOT BELIEVE SHOULDER HARNESS DEPLOYED AT ALL.

WHEN I TURN ON MY CAR AND BEGIN TO DRIVE IT, IT MAKES A REALLY LOUD NOISE. IT IS HARD FOR ME TO TURN EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT. ALSO WHEN I AM ACCELERATING IN THE FREEWAY OR IN THE STREET THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I ACCELERATE IT STAYS IN THE SAME SPEED. I TOOK IT IN TO PEPBOYS AUTO CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS AN INTERNAL NOISE AND THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL STEERING. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE CAR CAN LOCK WHILE IM DRIVING OR TURNING AND IN TURN CAN CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT , SO THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER SINCE PEPBOYS DOES NOT FIX ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I HOWEVER DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALER. WHILE DRIVING I WAS ALSO NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY ENOUGH WHEN GETTING INTO THE FREEWAY BECAUSE THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO GO ANY FASTER.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE BATTERY IS LEAKING. ABOUT A YEAR AGO MY BATTERY WAS LEAKING BADLY AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT. ON FRIDAY MY HUSBAND WAS CHECKING THE OIL AND HE SAW THE BATTERY LEAK AGAIN. IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS CORRODED. HE CLEANED BUT IT IS STILL LEAKING.

BEFORE AFTER AND DURING AN OIL CHANGE VEG SHAKES. WHEN AC IS ON CAR SHAKES AND ENGINE SHAKES LIKE ITS ABOUT TO DIE.. IT'S NOT THE BATTERY IN . .UPDATED 07/21/15 *BF UPDATED 9/22/2015 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY WAS NOT KEEPING THE PROPER VOLTAGE AND NEEDED TO BE TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE BATTERY HAD TO BE CHARGED MORE THAN TWICE DUE TO THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 10V555000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 11V579000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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

I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION.

AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED A SHAKING NOISE COMING FROM BENEATH MY CAR. THE EXHAUST GASKET HAD RUSTED AND MY MUFFLER WAS HANGING FROM A BOLT. *TR
