"TAKATA RECALL", CAR HAS DAYS WHERE IT WON'T START DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE ECM MODULE. I BOUGHT THE CAR LIKE THAT AND WHEN IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY AND WE SWITCHED OUT THE BATTERY, HOWEVER A MONTH LATER IT DID THE SAME THING. I NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE BATTERY TERMINAL THAT MAY EFFECT THE ECM ON SOME MODERN VEHICLES, HOWEVER WHEN I TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEY SAID BASED ON MY VIN NUMBER MY VEHICLE ISN'T AFFECTED. MY CAR IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATES, SO I BELIEVE THAT MY VIN NUMBER NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL LIST.

ALL IGNITION COILS AND SPARK PLUGS ARE FAILING AFTER 2 MONTHS OF BEING REPLACED. $700 WAS PAID BACK ON MAY 20, 2019 TO REPLACE ALL COILS AND SPARK PLUGS. ENGINE MISFIRED AGAIN THE OTHER DAY AND SAME ISSUE DIAGNOSED WITH COIL/PLUG FAILURE! THERE IS AN UNDERLYING ISSUE THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO HAVE ADDRESSED WITHIN ENGINE AS SOMETHING IS CAUSING THE COILS TO CONTINUALLY MISFIRE! MY CAR WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT THE OTHER DAY ON SUNDAY WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO BUCK WILDLY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING ON.

WE PUT OUR VIN INTO THE RECALL DATABASE AND IT DID NOT COME BACK AS BEING ONE OF THE CARS AFFECTED. HOWEVER, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL: ENGINE STALLING AND HAVING TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED; NO POWER TO ENGINE WHEN STEPPING ON GAS WHILE IN DRIVE. IT HAS BEEN OKAY ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT WILL OFTEN CUT OUT WHEN DRIVING IN CITY, ESPECIALLY WHEN STARTING BACK FROM A START OR ROLLING START. HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY WITH NO PREDICTABILITY OTHER THAN HAS NEVER HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY.

ON JUNE 18 2019 I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH ON THE BELT LINE IN MADISON, WI. WITH MY NEWBORN DAUGHTER. WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED LURCHING, I HAD NO CONTROL. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I WAS AFRAID OF CAUSING IN ACCIDENT. THE BRAKES WERE HARD AND IF I PUSHED ON THE GAS IT STARTED LURCHING OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PULLOVER AND NOTICED THE VOC LIGHT WAS ON. I PUSHED THE VOC BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF. BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF. I CALLED MY FATHER LARRY. HE TOLD ME TO TURN OFF THE CAR WAIT A MINUTE. TURN IT BACK ON. TO SEE IF THE VOC WOULD RESET. IT DID RESET. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES I TAKEN MY CAR INTO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS FOR INSPECTION. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON THIS WEBSITE. HOWEVER MY CAR DOES NOT FALL INTO THE RECALL. WHY? IT AFFECTS STEERING (LACK OF) BRAKES (NON EXISTENT) GAS (CAUSES LURCHING). VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME & MY NEWBORN. NOT TO MENTION THOSE AROUND ME. MY CAR HAS 115,000 MILES.

FAN IS RUNNING INSIDE CAR BLOWING OUT HOT AIR DESPITE THE DIAL BEING TURNED TO OFF. NOW WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN, THERE'S A STRONG BURNING SMELL EMITTING FROM THE INSIDE OF CAR. WHEN THE FAN TURNED ON FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON, I WAS DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AGAIN TODAY WHEN THE BURNING SMELL STARTED AS WELL. NOW WHEN I GO TO TURN CAR ON, IT IS HAVING ISSUES STARTING.

THE DASHBOARD LIGHT FLICKERED FOR AWHILE AND NOW DOES NOT LIGHT UP AT ALL. I AM UNABLE TO SEE THE GAS GAUGE, MILEAGE OR TEMPERATURE. THE DOORS NO LONGER UNLOCK WHEN I TURN OFF THE IGNITION NOR DOES THE BEEPER SOUND THAT MY HEADLIGHTS ARE STILL ON WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALER TWICE WITH THIS AND THEY WERE NOT BE ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THEY DID FIND A PAPER THAT DESCRIBED THIS SITUATION AS A PROBLEM ON THE 2011 NISSAN SENTRA.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, WHEN I ACCELERATED ON THE GAS IT THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND IT WOULDN'T LET ME GET PAST 40 MPH. AFTER I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FASTER THAN 20 MPH BEFORE IT STARTED JERKING. I CALLED A MCCLARTY NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN NORTH LITTLE ROCK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE DID NOT AFFECT MY CAR EVEN THOUGH YOUR WEBSITE DOES WHEN I LOOK IT UP BY THE VIN LIKE THEY DID.

IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND NO INVESTIGATION OR ACTION HAS BEEN DONE BY THE NHTSA YET. AS OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED BEFORE, I HAVE HAD MOMENTS WHERE MY CAR WOULD HAVE THE VDC LIGHT GO OFF AND THE CAR WOULD BEGIN TO NOT ACCELERATE OVER 2,000 RPMS AND WOULD SHAKE THE CAR IN A VIOLENT MANNER. I HAVE HAD ERROR CODES P0101 AND P0725 COME UP AND DISSAPEAR THROUGH A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS. I HAVE HAD TO INSTALL A NEW OEM MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR TO TRY TO FIX P0101 AND IT HAS RETURNED ON AND OFF. THE CAR HAS BEEN ACTING MUCH WEAKER THAN BEFORE AND WOULD HAVE LOTS OF HESITATION WHENEVER YOU WOULD GIVE IT ANY GAS. I HAVE TRIED TO SEARCH ONLINE TO FIX THIS BUT HAVE COME UP WITH NO DEFINITE ANSWER. I JUST WANT MY CAR TO BE RELIABLE AND THAT IS WHAT I EXPECTED WHEN THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED YET FOR IT TO START FAILING BEFORE THE 100K MARK, IT SHOWS HOW DEFECTIVE NISSAN PRODUCTS ARE. I HAVE PUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX IT ONLY TO FIND OUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED.A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS. GUARANTEED LAST TIME I WILL BUY A NISSAN FOR SURE.
Air bags, Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 14, 2019, crash
I HAD AN ACCIDENT, I WAS STUCK BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND THE BAG LIGHTS, EVAPORATION SENSORS, AND GASOLINE WENT IN TO TAKE IT TO THE CAR AGENCY AND THEY WARNED ME THAT IT IS OKAY BUT TODAY THE VEHICLE INSPECTION OF THE STATE DOES NOT PASS

I'M DRIVING NORMAL ON THE ROAD WITH NO CONDENSATION ON ROADWAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE "VDC OFF" INDICATOR LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR LOOSES SPEED AND JERKS. I PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. TURN CAR COMPLETELY OFF. WAIT A FEW MINUTES TO TURN CAR BACK ON. CAR MAY OPERATE NORMALLY FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN AGAIN THE "VDC OFF" LIGHT IS BACK ALONG WITH THE JERKING. I CAN BE EITHER ON THE HIGHWAY (WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS) OR DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS. WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR EVEN BACKING OUT MY DRIVEWAY I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE "VDC OFF". WHEN I AM STATIONARY AFTER TURNING MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, SOMETIME IT IS STILL ON AND THECRPM IS REVVING UP AND DOWN. MY FOOT IS NEITHER ON THE BRAKE OR THE GAS PEDAL. THIS LAST TIME 3/11/2019. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS OFF AND ON STARTING SINCE JANUARY 2019.

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WHEN IT WAS ONLY 20K MILES { 2 YEARS WITH WARRANTY}. THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM AND I WAS NOT HAPPY. ON 3RD YEAR (BEFORE 3 YEARS OR 36 MONTHS EXPIRATION DATE), I SENT IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUE (NO ACTION OR ANYTHING BEEN FIXED). IT KEEP HAPPENING AND I HAD TO SEND IT BACK AGAIN TO RECHECK WHEN IT WAS 50K. AND NOW IT'S 80K MILES AND THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I KEEP CALLING NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND ASKING FOR ADVICES. THEY CAN NOT HELP ME OR FIX IT. I WAS ALMOST GOT HIT FEW TIMES WHEN I DROVE THIS NISSAN

"TAKATA RECALL" STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCK AND IS STOPPING THE CAR FROM STARTING. WENT OUT TO START THE CAR AT THE STORE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT LOCKED AND THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN TO START THE CAR. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED.

CVT TRANSMISSION WHINES AND APPEARS TO BE SLIPPING WHEN GOING UPHILL - THE RPMS INCREASE BUT THE CAR IS NOT GOING FASTER. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS/120K MILES FOR 2004-2010 CVTS. UNFORTUNATELY, MINE IS A 2011.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND THE WHOLE CAR SHUT OFF, WHILE I WAS IN DRIVE. MY BATTERY WAS CORRODED AND SO WE THOUGHT THAT WAS THE ISSUE AND CHANGED THE BATTERY AND THE PROBLEM WORSENDED UP UNTIL YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS RIDING TO WORK, I ARRIVED AT A STOP LIGHT AND BEFORE THE LIGHT EVEN TURNED RED THE WHOLE CAR SHUT OFF AND LOCKED UP. THE BATTERY IS NEW, OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED HAT SAME DAY AS THE AIR FILTER AND THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR WERE CHANGED. THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR WAS CHANGED BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS WHY MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE VERY DAY THE SAME ISSUES OCCURRED AND THE WHOLE CAR STOPPED AND DID NOT START AGAIN. PRIOR TO THIS, MY CAR SAT FOR A FEW DAYS, LIKE ANY CAR DOES ON THE WEEKEND AND I NEEDED A JUMP THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY NIGHT AND AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY, THE PROBLEMS WORSENED AND AS I WAS DRIVING, IF I TURNED SLIGHTLY OR MADE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, MY SKIP CONTROL WOULD COME ON AND STAY ON AND I DRIVE ROUTINELY SO I KNEW IT WAS A NEW PROBLEM. WHEN I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, THE SLIP CONTROL WOULD COME ON OR IN REVERSE, THE SLIP CONTROL WOULD COME ON OR THE WHOLE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF IN THAT GEAR.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER AFTER COUPLE OF HOURS OF DRIVING ON RELATIVELY HOT DAYS. HAD VEHICLE EXAMINED BY DEALER ADVISED I NEEDED A "TRANSMISSION COOLER" BECAUSE TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING AND NOT GETTING ENOUGH AIR. ADVISED VEHICLE COMPUTER REGISTERED OVER 82 INSTANCES OF TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING. WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURS VEHICLE ENTERS "LIMP" MODE. VEHICLE WILL NOT PRODUCE MORE THAN 2500 RPMS. RECENTLY OCCURRED ON INTERSTATE 40 IN TN. CLIMBING LARGE HILL CAR WOULD NOT MAINTAIN SPEED. DEALER ADVISED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE DESIGN OF TRANSMISSION AND ADVISED BY NISSAN TO FIX PROBLEM INSTALL A TRANSMISSION COOLER WHICH COSTS $1,400.

MALFUNCTION OF THE STEERING, I WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I DON'T HAVE ANY STEERING! VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I MAKE A TURN ITS HAPPEN TO ME NO STEERING. PS LIGHT COMES ON, ON A BUSY INTERSECTION

THERE IS TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE WHEN DRIVEN IN EXCESS OF 2 HOURS. IT APPEARS TO OVERHEAT AND WILL NOT DRIVE IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND I DID OPEN A CASE WITH NISSAN WHO REFUSES TO COVER THE REPAIR. NISSAN CASE # 31337703. NISSAN DOUBLED THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ON MODELS 2003 - 2010 AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE BUT IS REFUSING THE STAND BEHIND THIS ONE WHICH WAS PRESUMABLY MADE IN 2010. PROBLEM FIRST NOTICED A YEAR AGO AND 2 MECHANICS COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AS IT HAS TO BE DRIVEN A LONG TIME TO HEAT UP. IT IS ONLY ON LONG TRIPS THAT THIS HAPPENS. NISSAN REQUESTED WE TAKE IT TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND AFTER 6 HOURS (AND $150 CHARGE) THEY SAID IT HAD THE INCORRECT TRANSMISSION FLUID. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND NEVER CHANGED OR AUTHORIZED ANYONE TO CHANGE IT SO THAT IS A FALSE STATEMENT. I WAS CHASTISED FOR NOT VISITING A DEALER IN 5 YEARS... MY RESPONSE WAS IF IT IS NOT BROKE WHY FIX IT? THIS VEHICLE IS NOW USED FOR PRIMARILY LONG ROAD TRIPS TO SCHOOL AND IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT NISSAN KNOWS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPORTED ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION BUT WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ONE. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO NISSAN AND ESCALATED MY APPEAL AS HIGH AS THE EXECUTIVE SPECIALIST WHO WOULD NOT CONSIDER STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. SENT A FEW E-MAILS TO MANAGEMENT (CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE) WHICH HAVE GONE IGNORED. WILL BE DISPUTING THE CREDIT CARD CHARGE FOR 'DIAGNOSIS' AS THAT WAS A 6 HOUR WAIT FOR THEM TO DO NOTHING MORE THEN LOOK AT THE FLUID AND ACCUSE US OF CHANGING IT TO AN UNSUPPORTED FLUID. GIVEN THE KNOWN DESIGN AND RELIABILITY ISSUES WITH THIS PART I SIMPLY REQUEST NISSAN TO COVER THE COST OF REPLACEMENT TO WHICH THEY REFUSE, CAUSING A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THIS CAR IS DRIVEN. IN CITY DRIVING IT WORKS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES.
