2006 Nissan Sentra complaints

TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON I-10 BETWEEN COTTONDALE, FL AND FT. WALTON, FL IN TRAFFIC, THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. HIGHWAY TYPE-INTERSTATE- 4 LANE DIVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE LEFT LANE. IT WENT INTO THE MEDIAN, CAME BACK INTO THE MAIN TRAVEL LANES BETWEEN TRAFFIC, ROTATED 360 DEGREES, THEN WENT OFF OF THE MAIN TRAVEL LANES ONTO THE RIGHT SHOULDER WHERE IT CAME TO A STOP. EVEN THOUGH THIS OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC, THERE WAS NO IMPACT AND NO INJURY TO THE OCCUPANTS. ONE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE IS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE, AND THE OTHER SIDEWALL PARTIALLY SEPARATED. THE AIR PRESSURE ON THE TIRE WAS CHECKED JUST PRIOR TO BEGINNING THE TRIP. THE CONDITION OF THE TIRE WAS CHECKED PRIOR TO THE TRIP AND THE TIRE APPEARED TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE TREAD AND GENERAL CONDITION OF THE FAILED TIRE SHOW NO EVIDENCE OF PRIOR DAMAGE OR PUNCTURE. THE 2 REAR TIRES HAD BEEN REPLACED IN 2010 OR 2011. THE SPARE WAS INSTALLED AND THE CAR WAS DRIVEN TO THE NEAREST SERVICE CENTER WHERE ALL 4 TIRES WERE REPLACED. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE RIM. THE FAILED TIRE IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. *TR

THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINT IS CONCERNING NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 07V527000 AND #06V223000 BOTH OF THESE RECALLS DEAL WITH THE AUTOMOBILE I OWN, A 2006 NISSAN SENTRA, WHICH I PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN MAY 2006. I HAVE BEEN HAVING MAJOR ISSUES OUT OF THE CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT SENSORS IN THE VEHICLE AND OIL INTAKE OVER THE LAST 18 MONTHS. THE CAR WOULD DIE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND BECAME VERY HARD TO START AS WELL AS THE OIL INTAKE BECAME EXCESSIVE. AFTER 3 VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AS 3 VISITS TO LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOPS WITH ONLY TEMPORARY FIXES, I WAS AT LAST INFORMED AROUND MID DECEMBER 2012 BY ONE OF THE MECHANICS AT THE LOCAL SHOP THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON SIMILAR VEHICLES. I LOOKED THE INFORMATION UP AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2006 AND 2007 ON 2006 NISSAN SENTRAS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH NORTH AMERICAN NISSAN I LEARNED THAT THE RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND MY CAR, WHILE BEING THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AS THE VEHICLES RECALLED, WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I SPOKE WITH A REGIONAL MANAGER OFF AND ON FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WHO INFORMED ME IN THE END THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I EVEN HAD A DIAGNOSTIC RAN AT THE NORTH LITTLE ROCK NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON DECEMBER 21, 2012 THAT STATES "CRANKSHAFT, CAMSHAFT SENSORS MALFUNCTIONING BUT IN GOOD CONDITION, OIL EXTREMELY LOW(WHICH I JUST HAD IT CHANGED A FEW MONTHS AGO), AND POSSIBLE ECM PROBLEM...ALL THINGS STATED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE AN O

I HAD PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2010. WHEN I HAD PURCHASED IT, IT SEEMED TO HAVE A BARRING PROBLEM, OR A BRAKE PROBLEM. IT KEPT SHAKING, AND MAKING A THUMP-SOUND. IT KEPT PULLING, WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES. ABOUT MARCH 2011, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY CAR WAS SHAKING SO MUCH, THAT I HAD TO PULL OVER. IT BLEW MY ENTIRE RIM AND TIRE OFF. I GOT A TOW TRUCK AND BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC, HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE AND RIM. ABOUT A COUPLE MONTHS LATER, I NOTICED THE PULLING IN THE BRAKES AGAIN,IT WAS GETTING WORSE, SO I BROUGHT IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC, AND HE CHECKED OUT THE WHOLE CAR. HE NOTICED THAT THEIR WAS BRAKING FLUID LEAKING, AND THAT IT NEEDS NEW BRAKE PADS. I HAD MY CAR FOR 7 MONTHS, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I NEED NEW BRAKE PADS. HE SAID IT SHOULDN'T OF PASSED THE SAFETY. MY DAD AND HIS LAWYER LOOKED AT THE SAFETY AND E TESTED PAPERS, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS FORGED, SO IT PROBABLY WASN'T A PROPER SAFETY. I AM PLANNING TO GIVE THE CAR BACK, AS IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A PROPER SAFETY. *KB

WHEN I TRY TO START MY 2006 NISSAN SENTRA SER IT REPEATLY TURNS OVER EVEN WHEN THERE IS A FULL TANK OF GAS. I HAVE STOP AND START IT OVER AND OVER TO GET TO TO KEY UP. AT FIRST IT WAS HERE AND THERE NOW IT IS EVERYDAY EVERYTIME I TRY TO TURN ON THE CAR. I CALLED ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD I MAY NEED A TUNE UP, MY CAR JUST HIT 50,000 MILES. I HAVE READ OVER THE MANUFACTUR BOOK GIVEN AT PURCHASE TO SEE IF THEY IS ANY INFORMATION AVAILABLE ABOUT THIS. I DO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY CAR, BUT RIGHT NOW I JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. I FOUND THIS WEBSITE AND SAW OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

2006 NISSAN SENTRA ON A SNOWY ICY ROAD, I MADE A LEFT TURN, VERY SLOWLY, AND THE VEHICLE SLOWLY SKIDDED INTO THE CURB WITH THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE LEADING THE WAY.

THEY STATE THE PROBLEM IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SOME MODELS WERE RECALLED BUT NOT OURS. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR SOME TIME. SEE SERVICE BULLETIN NTB05-52A.

THE TECHNICIAN WAS IN THE PROCESS OF INSPECTING THE OTHER THREE TIRES FOR POSSIBLE DEFECTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,303.

ENGINE LIGHT IS ON THEN REALIZED THAT I WAS HAVING PROBLEM GETTING FUEL INTO GAS TANK. ONCE OPENING THE GAS CAP A GUSH OF GAS FUMES COMES OUT. CAN NOT GET GAS IN TANK WITH OUT GAS PUMP CUTTING OFF ALL THE TIME. IT TAKES FOR EVER TO GET GAS INTO TANK. VEHICLE TAKEN TO NISSAN DEALER THEY TOLD ME IT WAS GAS TANK AND THAT A SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED ON ANOTHER MODEL A RECALL WAS DONE ON THAT MODEL NOT ON MY VEHICLE MODEL. THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY 100.00 FOR NEW GAS TANK. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THE RUSH OF GAS FUME PRESSURE THAT RUSHES OUT WHEN FUEL CAP IS OPEN TO REFUEL VEHICLE. DEALER STATES THAT FUEL TANK SENSOR IS CAUSING PROBLEM. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND NOW THE VEHICLE MISSES WHILE DRIVING AND IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO START. THE RESULTING ERROR MESSAGE IS P0335 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ERROR. THERE IS A RECALL ISSUED FOR 2006 NISSAN SENTRAS AND THEY ARE SAYING MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. THE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER IS RQ06001 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V527000 COMPONENT: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 96,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION RECENTLY WHERE I ENDED UP UNDER THE CAB OF A DELIVERY TRUCK. I AM NOT SURE, BUT MY SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 30-40MPH. I HIT THE BRAKES WHEN I REALIZED THE TRUCK WAS GOING THROUGH AND INTERSECTION, HOWEVER IT HAD BEEN RAINING AND I SLID RIGHT UNDERNEATH IT. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

OUR 2006 NISSAN SENTRA SPILLS GAS OUT THE FILLER HOLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REFILL. IT HAS COME GUSHING OUT SPRAYING ME AND CREATING A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WITH FUEL ON MYSELF AND SPILLED AT THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE LEARNED IT IS NOT AN UNUSUAL PROBLEM, BUT ONE THAT I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

A FEW WEEKS AGO MY CAR'S ENGINE STARTED DOING A STUTTERING THING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY. IT WOULD JUST DO IT OUT OF NO WHERE AND IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF BUT IT KEPT GOING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER AND IT SHOWS CRANK POSITION SENSOR. I SEARCHED FOR THIS ONLINE AND FOUND THIS WAS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE YEAR, MODEL AND ENGINE TYPE. IT STATED THAT IT COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALING EXPECTING TO HAVE THIS FIXED UNDER THE RECALL BUT WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE'S VIN WAS NOT ON THE LIST OF AFFECTED VEHICLES AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. MY ENGINE IS STILL DOING THE STUTTER THING BECAUSE I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT FIX IT UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY SAY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH IT OBVIOUSLY WAS AFFECTED. *TR

AFTER DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN SENTRA 1.8, WHEN YOU TRY TO RESTART IT WITHIN A COUPLE HOURS IT IS VERY HARD TO START AND IT IS GETTING MORE DIFFICULT TO START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. THE PROBLEM GOT BETTER BUT NOW IT HAS RETURNED. NISSAN AND THE DEALER ARE ACTING AS THOUGH THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM BE THERE ARE NUMEROUS CASES REPORTED ON THE INTERNET CONCERNING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARE ME $99 TO RUN A TEST BUT I AM SURE THEY ALREADY KNOW, IF NOT THEY NEED TO CHECK THE INTERNET. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN 2006 SENTRA 1.8. WHEN REFUELING, GAS POURS BACK OUT OF THE GAS TANK, EVEN WHEN ON EMPTY. NISSAN HAS PUBLISHED A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT A VENT CONTROL VALVE REPLACEMENT (USING A NEW STYLE VENT CONTROL VALVE). I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THE PARTS & LABOR WILL TOTAL APPROXIMATELY $350 FOR A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS THIS; ANY SPARK WOULD SURELY IGNITE THE DRIVER AND PROBABLY AUTO; THEY ARE UNWILLING TO SEND ME THE PART AT THIS POINT & I STILL CAN'T USE THE VEHICLE- THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS. *TR

MY 06 NISSAN SENTRA, THAT I PURCHASED TO REPLACE THE TAURUS THAT THE FRAME FAILED HAS A PROB. WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL-- WHEN IN CRUISE, GOING DOWN THE ROAD, WHEN IT NEEDS TO KEEP UP TO SPEED, IT SHIFTS DOWN TWO GEARS, INSTEAD OF ONE, AND THE SPEED INCREASES FASTER THAN IT SHOULD, AND THEN IT SHIFTS UP ONE GEAR, THEN BACK TO DRIVE-- THERE TIMES WHEN IF THE DRIVER IS NOT USED TO IT-IT GAINS ON THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT, FASTER THAN ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE DRIVEN, AND IF THE DRIVER IS NOT VERY ATTENTIVE IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR AT LEAST SCARE THE DRIVER, AND CAUSE THEM TO OVER REACT, IN MY OPINION. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.. WE DO NOT THEREFORE USE THE CRUISE-- THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW-- AND WHEN I CALLED NISSAN AND THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT PROB. WAS NORMAL, NOT A GOOD ENOUGH ANSWER, IN MY OPINION-- IT IS ALMOST AS BAD AS THE TOYOTA PROB. AND I THINK IT IS ALL IN THE ELECTRICAL SET UP, WHICH I THINK IS GOING TO BE THE DOWNFALL OF THE MODERN CARS. IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO COMPLICATE SOMETHING THAT WAS WORKING RIGHT FOR YEARS, AND NOT THEY WANT TO MAKE THE BRAKES ELECTRIC. TO MUCH ELECTRIC JUNK TO GO BAD AND CAUSE PROBLEMS, AND ALL SO THE VEH,'S HAVE TO BE TAKEN INTO THE DEALER OR SHOP. TO HAVE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS, AND CAUSE PROB'S WITH INSPECTIONS ALL THE TIME, ALSO EXPENSIVE, AND NOT WARRENTED THANKS *TR

MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE VICTIMS OF TOYOTA'S RECKLESS NEGLIGENCE. IN MAY 2006 I HAD A BRAND NEW NISSAN SENTRA AND I PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY ACROSS FROM MY APARTMENT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR ACCELERATED AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED. IT SPED PROBABLY 70-80 MPH AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. LUCKILY, FOR ME THE CAR RAMMED INTO THE CONDO OF THE DRIVEWAY I PULLED IN. MY AIRBAGS POPPED OUT AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR WITH ONLY A CUT ON MY FOREHEAD. MY NEIGHBOR WITNESS THE WHOLE THING. WHEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR AND SAID IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT I WAS ALIVE AND NOT BADLY HURT. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THE OTHERS WITH THE SAME CAR HAD EXPERIENCE THIS. I TRIED TO CONTACT NISSAN, I EVEN HIRED AN ATTORNEY. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. WELL, I KNOW THAT THIS CAR WAS DEFECTIVE AND IF NOT FOR THE CONDO I WOULD HAD DIED. NOW THAT THIS EVENT HAS HAPPENED WITH TOYOTA I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. MIND YOU I'M STILL PAYING FOR THE CAR THAT IS TOTALED. *TR

HI THERE, I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN SENTRA 1.8 S AND UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE AN SINGLE TRAFFIC ACCIDENT ON 31 DEC, 2009. I SKID ON THE SNOWY-ICY HIGHWAY AND HIT THE ROAD SIDE BARRIERS ABOUT 20-30 MPH. AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOYED. I INJURED MY NECK. I SENT ALL INFORMATIONS NISSAN USA ABOUT ME, VEHICLE AND ACCIDENT TO AND ASKED WHY? HOWEVER, THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME ANY REASONABLE ANSWER. I GOT FINAL RESPONSE FROM NISSAN ALMOST 2 MONTHS LATER THAN ACCIDENT. THEY FORWARD ME TO DEALER FOR AIRBAG DIAGNOSIS BUT IT'S NOT FREE OF CHARGE. I HAVE ALL RECORDS ABOUT ACCIDENT AND NISSAN. THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATIONS...*TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE COMPUTER. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL REPAIR, BUT NOW HE IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES BEFORE HE REACHED HIS RESIDENCE. THE DEALER STATED THAT HE HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AGAIN. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE FIRST REPAIR WAS PERFORMED INCORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. NISSAN STATED THAT THEY WOULD PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIR COSTS, BUT THEY HAVE NOT YET DONE SO. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 83,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN SENTRA. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION, THE ENGINE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED AFTER SIX ATTEMPTS. THE DRIVER SMELLED GASOLINE INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE PRESSURE REGULATOR WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH THE FUEL PUMP REPAIR KIT UNDER THE EXTENDED SERVICE WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR IDENTICAL FAILURES DUE TO THE FAULTY PRESSURE REGULATOR. THE MANUFACTURER'S FUEL PUMP REPAIR KIT WAS USED DURING THE REPAIR ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,207 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53,058. UPDATED 09/14/09. *LJ UPDATED 09/16/09.*JB

I HAVE ONLY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 11 MONTHS. LAST WEEK A RED FLASHING LIGHT APPEARS. I LOOKED IT UP IN MY HANDBOOK AND IT SHOWED THAT A SAFETY RESTRAINT ISN'T WORKING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE COST FOR REPAIR IS $1600.00. SINCE I'VE OWNED MY VEHICLE IT HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT, AND WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE CARFAX REPORT WAS CLEAN AS WELL. MY REPAIR GUY SAYS THAT THE ONLY WAY THE LIGHT SHOULD'VE COME ON WAS DUE TO FRONT END COLLISION, WHICH, I HAVE NEVER HAD. I AM BEING TOLD THAT IN CASE OF ACCIDENT NONE OF MY SAFETY FEATURES WILL NOT WORK. NO SEAT BELT TIGHTENING, NO AIRBAGDEPLOY ETC. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND WOULD LIKE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON THAT AN 11 MONTH OLD CAR SHOULD BE ACTING LIKE THIS!! I HAVE NOT YET REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, I AM GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE DEALER BECAUSE THIS ACTUAL PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE FEDERAL EMISSIONS LAW. *TR

SOMEBODY HAD HIT MY CAR TWICE AND KEPT GOING NEVER FOUND OUT WHO IT IS, THERE IS A BIG DENT IN MY DRIVER DOOR AND THE BUMPER HALF WAY OFF THE BACK OF THE CAR THEN THAT EVEN CAUSED MY WHEELS TO BE OFF BALANCED ALSO A MY BRAKES WERE PUT ON WRONG. *TR

WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2006 NISSAN SENTRA IT WAS A RAINY NIGHT SHE RAN OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A DEEP DITCH. IT WAS A FRONT IMPACT INTO THE DITCH THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CAR WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY OVER $9000 IN DAMAGES. *TR

ON DECEMBER 29, 2008, MY SON AND HIS GIRLFRIEND WERE INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT. HE WAS DRIVING A 2006 NISSAN SENTRA WITH SIDE AIRBAGS. HIS VEHICLE WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG AND SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE PASSENGERS' FRONT AIRBAG DEPLOYED HOWEVER THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. INJURIES - DRIVER - RIGHT FEMUR FRACTURE RIGHT TIBIA AND FRACTURE TO LEFT PELVIS; PASSENGER - SEVERE HEAD INJURY. ARE ALL AIRBAGS SUPPOSED TO DEPLOY OR NOT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT? *TR

REAR PASSENGER BRAKE DOES NOT ADJUST CORRECTLY AND OVER TIGHTENS. WHEEL MAY BECOME COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. BRAKE PAD SHOWS MOST WARE ON TOP FRONT PORTION OF SHOE THAT IS APPLIED BY THE PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM. SINCE NEW CAR HAS ALWAYS MADE CHIRPING NOISES WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE. ALL OTHER BRAKES ON CAR ARE STILL COMPLETELY GOOD EXCEPT THIS ONE. THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET EXPRESSING THE SAME CONCERN. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN SENTRA AND INVOLVED IN A CRASH. ANOTHER DRIVER TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME. I HIT HER GOING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH. MY FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE HIT HER FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. AT 45MPH THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I NOW HAVE NECK INJURIES. THERE WAS A LITTLE OVER $2,200 DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO THE FRONT LEFT TIRE BEING PUSHED ALMOST ALL THE WAY INTO THE WHEEL WELL. I JUST SAW A SAFETY RECALL FOR OTHER NISSAN'S FOR AIRBAG PROBLEMS AND AM WONDERING IF THE SENTRA'S SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. THANK-YOU. *TR

MY CAR HAD ITS SERPENTINE BELT GOING BAD AT 10000 MILES. IT MAKES A SQUEAKY SOUND WHICH CAN ONLY BE FIXED BY CHANGING THE BELT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANY SENTRA OWNERS. MINE IS A 2006 NISSAN SENTRA (SPECIAL EDITION). *TR

TIRE EXPERIENCED A SIDEWALL FAILURE. FAILURE NOTICED FOLLOWING A SHORT, SLOW SPEED DRIVE. A HOLE WAS IDENTIFIED ON THE SIDEWALL. RUBBER ON SIDEWALL VERY SOFT AT HOLE LOCATION. IT SEEMS A BELT SEPARATION OCCURRED. TIRE IS A FIRESTONE FIREHAWK GTA 02. OEM ON 2006 NISSAN SENTRA (WITH ALUMINUM RIMS). SIZE: 195/55R16 86H. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS, THE PRESSURE IN THE GAS TANK FORCED FUEL OUT OF THE TANK AND CAUSED GASOLINE TO LEAK OUT. WHENEVER THE CONTACT WOULD PLACE FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE, THE GAS PUMP WOULD AUTOMATICALLY STOP INDICATING THAT THE TANK WAS FULL, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NEARLY EMPTY. HE THEN BEGAN TO NOTICE LEAKS ON HIS DRIVEWAY AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. HE WAS INFORMED THAT A NEW GAS TANK AND FUEL FILTER WERE NEEDED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT THE DEALER. THEY COVERED HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE FAILURE IS IDENTICAL TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V269000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE) FOR AN EARLIER MODEL OF THE SAME VEHICLE; HOWEVER, HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 131,000.

MY WIFE SKIDDED OFF A FRESHLY GRAVELED ROAD AND NOSE-DIVED INTO A DITCH FRONTEND FIRST, CATAPULTED THE VEHICLE INTO A C/CLOCKWISE SPIN AND WRAPPED THE VEHICLE AROUND A TREE. THE ORIGINAL IMPACT WAS FRONT END AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS COMPLETELY CRUSHED HITTING THE TREE WITH WHAT WOULD APPEAR AS A SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. ON INVESTIGATION, IT APPEARS THE AIR BAG WAS TORN OUT OF THE CENTER WALL (NO PROPELLANT SMELL OR RESIDUE). HAD THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INJURIES THAT CERTAINLY WOULD NOT HAVE REQUIRED MED-A-VAC. JPC/SC . *TR

WE PURCHASED TWO FALKEN ZE 512 TIRES IN JUNE OF 2007 FROM EVANS TIRES IN POWAY. WE RETURNED IN MAY 2008 TWO PURCHASE TWO MORE FOR OUR NISSAN SENTRA SPEC V.
