2006 Nissan Sentra complaints

IF THE HEAT/AIR SELECTOR IS POSITIONED TO DEFROST THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR RUNS UNTIL THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. THIS MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO MAKE THE CAR COMFORTABLE AND WASTES GAS. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, HE AFFIRMED THAT THE CAR WAS DESIGNED TO WORK THIS WAY. *TR

MY AUTO SLIPPED FROM PARK TO DRIVE SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 16, 2007 WITH NO WARNING. WE HAD A TERRIBLE SNOW STORM AND I HAD MY CAR IN PARK WHILE CLEARING THE WINDSHIELD AND IT SLIPPED FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHILE DRIVING WHERE IT WILL SLIP FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. MY LOCKS ALSO LOCKED AS SOON AS I SHUT MY DOORS AFTER STARTED MY AUTO. I HAVE POWER LOCKS AND THE DOORS SHOULD NOT HAVE LOCKED WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I WAS LOCKED OUT OF MY CAR FOR OVER AN HOUR UNTIL I COULD GET A TOW TRUCK TO MY HOME TO OPEN MY CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND HEARD A GRINDING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SHIFTER WAS TOO TIGHT AND THEY LOOSENED THE SHIFTER ON TWO OCCASIONS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CAUSED THE FAILURE. AS OF DECEMBER 10, 2007, THE DEALER HAD NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,998.

ABOVE ABOUT 35 OR 42F THE AIR COND RUNS IF THE AIR SELECTOR IS POSITIONED ON ANY SELECTION THAT INCLUDES DEFROST, AND THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THIS OFF IS TO TURN THE AIR SELECTOR TO A POSITION THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN DEFROST, PULL OVER, STOP THE VEHICLE, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. I AM NOT MISTAKEN, I AM POSITIVE OF THIS. THIS IS NOT GREEN, THE AIR IS OFTEN RUNNING ALL DAY WASTING GAS MILEAGE PUTTING MORE POLLUTION IN THE AIR. HEATER MUST BE TURNED ON TO COMPENSATE FOR THE COOLING EFFECT OF THE AIR CONDITIONER. *TR

I HAVE AN 2006 NISSAN SENTRA AND I BOUGHT IT USED WITH 3000 MILES SON IT. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER THE BRAKES WOULD SQUEAK AND THE ENGINE WOULD MAKE TICKING SOUND. I TOOK IT IN TO SANTA MONICA NISSAN 5 TIMES AND THEN THE FINALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND FOR A 4 MONTH OLD CAR IT SHOULDN'T NEED BRAKES. THE BRAKES DON'T MAKE ANY NOISE BUT THE ENGINE STILL MAKES TICKING SOUND BUT NISSAN DOES THE SAME REMEDY EVERY TIME, CHANGE THE ENGINE BELTS. APPARENTLY THAT'S NOT WORKING AND WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE BUT I WAS ON HOLD FOR 1 HOUR AND THEN I HUNG UP. NISSAN NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS. REMEMBER THE BRAKES ARE FNE NOW ITS JUST THE ENGINE THAT MAKES TICKING SOUNDS. THEY BETER FIX THIS. *JB
