2010 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE. FILL THE TANK BUT ALWAYS SHOWS 2 POINT BELOW.10 MILES DECREASE THE 1 POINT OF GAUGE .VERY FRUSTRATING. I WANT THIS PROBLEM FIX BY NISSAN DEALER AT NO COST TO ME. I HEARD NISSAN SENTRA HAS THIS PROBLEM PLEASE HELP ME.I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.IT IS ABOUT MY FAMILY SAFETY. *TR

MECHANIC AND I FOUND A RECALL ON MY MAKE AND MODEL CAR. NISSAN DENIED THE RECALL THREE TIMES SAYING MY MODEL IS NOT AFFECTED. I DISAGREE AND THINK MY CAR SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS IT SHOWS EXACT SYMPTOMS AS RECALL. ITS VERY POSSIBLE THAT MAYBE MY MAKE AND MODEL IS JUST STARTING TO BE AFFECTED. VEHICLE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. I LOSE BRAKES AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA AND THE ECM HAS GONE OUT DUE TO A FACTORY DEFECT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2010 NISSAN SENTRAS, HOWEVER MY PARTICULAR VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED AND THEREFORE NISSAN WILL NOT MAKE THE REPAIRS. NOT LONG AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE BATTERY. IT WOULDN'T START AT TIMES. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY, HOWEVER STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUES. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FEW MECHANICS AND THEY COULDN'T DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. EVENTUALLY THE CAR JUST STOPPED. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE, BUT IT WAS AROUND 12.7.14. THANKFULLY, I WASN'T DRIVING AT THE MOMENT, HOWEVER LOOKING AT OTHER PEOPLE'S STORIES, THEIRS DID. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THAT'S WHEN I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE ECM. AFTER DOING MY OWN RESEARCH, I SAW THE RECALL AND THE PEOPLE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WITH MY CAR AND THEN THEIR ECM DIED. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE STUCK WITH THIS CAR OR HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE REPAIRS, HOWEVER NISSAN WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE AS MENTIONED, MY PARTICULAR VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THAT IS BULLCRAP AT IT'S FINEST. *TR

HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 11/2 YRS AS A CERTIFIED NISSAN MULTIPLE PROBLEMS LIKE 2 TRANSMISSIONS AND A ENGINE STARTING 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASE NOW AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND DEALER SAYS IT IS A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. NISSAN WILL NOT COVER THIS. WHAT OTHER MANUFACTURE ARE THEY USING FOR THE AIRBAGS. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT I WAS REVERSING OUT OF SPOT AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF, I HAD NO CONTROL OF GAS HOWEVER LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD ERRORS WERE DISPLAYED. I PUT CAR IN PARK, TURNED IGNITION OFF AND TRIED TO START UP CAR WITH SUCCESS . SO I THOUGHT MAYBE SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED AND I WENT ON WITH MY LIFE. OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS THIS KEPT HAPPENING MONTHS EVEN YEARS APART AT THE STRANGEST TIMES. FOR EXAMPLE THE MOST RECENT TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF LIKE IT HAS SO MANY TIMES . BY NOW I STARTED THINKING MAYBE THIS IS MORE THAN A COINCIDENCE AND ACTUALLY SAW A RECALL ONLINE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. ONLY THIS TIME THE CAR WOULDN'T START BACK UP. I HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN AND TOLD THEM MY SUSPICIONS ON THE RECALL AND I GET A CALL BACK A FEW DAYS LATER SAYING I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND THEY CAN'T CHECK THE ELECTRICAL RECALL BC THEY CAN'T START THE CAR . WHAT DO I DO NOW!? *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2010 NISSAN SENTRA SL ON JULY 5, 2014 FROM A NISSAN DEALER. THE VERY NEXT DAY I DISCOVERED THAT WHEN I MOVED THE SUN VISOR DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN RAYS WHILE DRIVING, EACH TIME I MOVED THE VISOR DOWN OR UP IT HIT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I NEEDED TO READJUST THE MIRROR BEFORE IT WAS USEFUL AGAIN. WHEN THE SUN IS JUST ABOVE THE HORIZON IT IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SET THE VISOR TO BLOCK THE SUN RAYS FROM HITTING MY EYES WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE POSITIONING OF THE MIRROR IN RELATION TO THE VISOR. THIS FEELS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE MIRROR NEEDS TO BE RESET EVERY TIME THE VISOR IS MOVED UP OR DOWN. THESE SEEMS A MAJOR FACTORY INSTALLATION GLITCH. I COMPLAINED TO THE NISSAN SERVICE MANAGER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. HE SAID HE CHECKED OTHER 2010 NISSAN SENTRAS ON THEIR USED CAR LOT AND ALL OF THEM HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WHY HASN'T A FACTORY RECALL BEEN INITIATED FOR THIS ISSUE? THIS IS DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR SAFE DRIVING. *TR

IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, FOOT/SHOE MAY CAUSE TRIM PANEL TO THE RIGHT OF GAS PEDAL TO BECAME DISLODGED, THUS INHIBITING ACCELERATION/DECELERATION AND CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. FASTENERS FOR TRIM PANEL APPEAR TO FAIL AND/OR ARE LOOSE. *TR
