ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR OR CAM POSITION SENSOR MAY HAVE AN IMPROPER SOLDER JOINT DUE TO SOLDER DEFORMATION CAUSED BY HEAT STRESS ACCELERATED BY THE EXISTENCE OF FLUX RESIDUE DURING THE SOLDERING PROCESS.
THIS COULD CAUSE THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON, CREATE A NO START CONDITION, CAUSE REDUCED ENGINE POWER, OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CRANK POSITION SENSORS. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR(S), AND IN SOME CASES, THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL SENSOR(S). VEHICLES INVOLVED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN, 01V357, ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS NEW CAMPAIGN. THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS USED IN THAT CAMPAIGN ARE ALSO AFFECTED.

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE QG18DE ENGINE OR QR25DE ENGINES, THE FOAM MATERIAL USED FOR THE INTERIOR LINING OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) BOX EMITS SULFUR AS IT CURES.
IF ONE OF THE RESISTORS INSIDE THE ECM HAS A CRACK ON THE SURFACE COATING, THE GAS MAY CAUSE CORROSION OF THE RESISTOR. THIS COULD CAUSE THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT TO COME ON, POOR DRIVABILITY (IDLE INSTABILITY, POOR ACCELERATOR), OR THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE INSIDE LINING MATERIAL FROM THE ECM BOX. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON DECEMBER 22, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

THESE BURRS CAN CAUSE CRACKS AS THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. CRACKS CAN PROPAGATE BETWEEN ADJACENT COOLING HOLES.

3 OF 7 RECALL NOTICES RELATED TO ENGINE SESNORS OTHERS RELATED TO WHEEL REPLACEMENT;AND FRONT SUSPENSION BOLTS ENGINE LIGHT ELUMINATED PRIOR TO 3RD ENGINE SENSOR RECALL NOTICE; DIAGNOSTIC DONE; 3 WEEKS KLATER ENGINE SPUTTERED, STOPPED AND SMOKED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT SPEED LIMIT, NEAR COLLISSION; 2001 NISSAN SENTRA TOWED TO DEALER; $485.00 ENGINE COIL ASSEMBLY MAINTENENACE DONE; 2 MILES OFF LOT ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN; NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGE FOR ADDITIONAL REPAIRS NEEDED BECAUSE THEY SAY THE ENGINE REPAIRS ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE SENSOR RECALL NOTICES. THEY SAY THE REPEATED PURCHASE OF TIRES ARE ALSO NOT CONNECTED TO THE WHEEL REPLACEMENT RECALL FOR WHICH THE WHEELS WERE NOT UPON THEIR INSPECTION. ISSUE IS WHEELS ARE SEPARATING AND ENGINE CONTINUES TO FAIL AND I KEEP SPENDING MONEY IN THE HOPES A 21 YEAR OLD CAN DRIVE SAFELY.*AK
Engine and engine cooling, Apr 20, 2004
I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE SENSOR REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL. PRIOR TO HAVING THE RECALL REPAIRS DONE MY CAR HAD NO MAJOR PROBLEMS EXCEPT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF (IT HAS BEEN ON SINCE 40K MILES). NOW MY CAR STALLS EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN TO STOP. IF I HAD AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO RESTART MY CAR. SINCE I HAVE A CLUTCH I CAN POP THE CLUTCH TO RESTART THE CAR BECAUSE I AM STILL DRIFTING. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TRIED TO TELL ME THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS NOT ON DUE TO THE RECALL BUT BECAUSE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT NO LONGER COMES ON, BUT MY CAR STALLS CONSISTENTLY. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN. I THOUGHT THEY WERE RELIABLE CARS. BUT AFTER HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HAVING A SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COME ON SOON AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED I HAVE LEARNED MY LESSON.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM W/ 2001 NISSAN SENTRA GXE, NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THEM BEFORE MY WARRANTY WAS UP. NOW MY WARRANTY IS UP AND THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM AFTER SIX TRIPS TO NISSAN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I NEED A KNEW TRANSMISSION AND THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR IT. WHAT CAN I DO? *AK

MY 2001 NISSAN SENTRA SE 2.0 LITRE IS IN THE HABIT OF "DYING" WHILE TRAVELING. IF THERE WERE NO SHOULDER TO PULL ONTO AND RESTART THE CAR A SERIOUS REAR END COLLISION WOULD OCCUR. NISSAN WANTS ME TO PAY FOR REPAIRS AND WILL REIMBURSE ME IF THE 2.0 LITER ENGINE RECEIVES A RECALL LIKE THE 1.8 AND 2.5 LITER ENGINES DID FOR THE SAME SCENARIO. WHAT GIVES? *JB

ON DECEMBER 28, 2003, MY 2001 NISSAN SENTRA CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING THROUGH RENO NEVADA. ANOTHER CAR BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT OUR CAR WAS ON FIRE. WHEN MY DAUGHTER PULLED OVER AND OPENED THE HOOD, SHE NOTICED A SMALL FIRE IN THE REAR OF THE ENGINE. SHE MANAGED TO PUT THE FIRE OUT WITH WATER. UPON INSPECTION AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN NEVADA, THEY NOTED SOME OBJECT WAS CAUGHT BETWEEN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE CAR FRAME. THE FIRE MELTED ONE CV BOOT.

MY ENGINE FAILED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING 70 MPHS ON THE FREEWAY, THE VERY DAY AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN REPAIRED FOR YET ANOTHER DEFECT SENSOR. IT WAS A MIRACLE I DID NOT CRASH AND KILL ANYONE INCLUDING MYSELF. EACH AND EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN, I HAVE REQUESTED IT BE CHECKED FOR A SHORT IN THE WIRING. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD NO. I LATER LEARNED THAR MEANT IF IT DIDN'T SHOW UP ON THE COMPUTER, THEN THEY WOULDN'T LOOK FOR IT SPECIFICALLY. FOLLOWING THE LATEST HAZARD, I GOT IN NISSAN'S FACE. NISSAN FOUND A DEFECT OXYGEN SENSOR THIS TIME. UPON RETESTING THE VEHICLE, THE EMC (THE BRAIN OF THE VEHICLE) WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. I WAS ALSO TOLD HAD I DRIVEN THE CAR ANY LONGER, THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT WOULD HAVE BLOWN TOO. WELL, THAT EXPLAINS ALL THE LOUSY GAS MILEAGE THIS PAST YEAR. SO, HERE IT IS A WEEK LATER AND MY VEHICLE REMAINS IN THE SHOP WITH A BACK ORDERED EMC WITH NO AVAILABLE STOCK DATE IN SIGHT. I AM RENTING A VEHICLE AND AM RECEIVING VERY LITTLE ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN AS TO GETTING A RENTAL VEHICLE IN THE MEANTIME. I AM QUITE CONCERNED I HAVE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW SPANKING YELLOW LEMON. I AM QUITE CONCERNED THIS VEHICLE, EVEN WITH A NEW EMC, WILL PRODUCE OTHER DEFECTIVE SENSORS ONCE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR FROM THE OLD ONE. THERE ARE 45 SENSORS IN THE VEHICLE AND ONLY 5-10 HAVE BLOWN SO FAR. I AM QUITE CERTAIN OTHERS ARE CLOSE TO FAILURE TOO. I AM JUST AS CONCERNED WHEN BOTH THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THIS PART HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR A VERY LONG TIME AS SO MANY VEHICLES HAVE ENDURED THIS PROBLME, THAT THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN RECALLED.

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY 2001 NISSAN SENTRA. I HAVE POSTED MY PRIOR COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. MOST RECENTLY I ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. A SIMPLE ENOUGH TASK ONE WOULD THINK. NOT WITH THIS LEMON. THE CAR STARTED, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, THE SHIFT MOVED IN THE R POSITION, HOWEVER THE CAR WAS NOT BUDGING. TURNS OUT THE TRANSMISSION HAD WENT ON MY 2001 CAR. UNACCEPTABLE IN MY OPINION. JUST TO UPDATE EVERYONE, THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE BROKEN IGNITION WIRE, INOPERATIVE HORN AND BROKEN FUEL PUMP THAT I HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED WITH THIS LEMON.
