2008 Nissan Sentra

Defect. NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN VEHICLES THAT WERE EQUIPPED WITH A GARMIN NUVI MODEL 750 NAVIGATION SYSTEM. THE BATTERIES CONTAINED IN THE AFFECTED GPS UNITS CAN OVERHEAT.

Risk. OVERHEATED BATTERIES COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy. NISSAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND THE REPAIRS WILL BE PERFORMED BY GARMIN TECHNICIANS BY REPLACING THE BATTERY AND INSERTING A SPACER ON TOP OF THE BATTERY FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT GARMIN DIRECTLY AT 1-866-957-1981 OR NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Defect. NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008 SENTRA PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH BOSCH MASTER CYLINDERS. BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER. IF THE AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR DECREASES TO BELOW THE MINIMUM LEVEL, THE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR WILL ILLUMINATE AS DESIGNED AND THE BRAKES WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.

Risk. IF THE WARNING LAMP IS CONTINUOUSLY IGNORED, ONE OF THE BRAKE CIRCUITS ON THE VEHICLE MAY FAIL INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCES AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 14, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Defect. NISSAN IS RECALLING 169,202 MY 2007-2008 SENTRA PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED ROBERT BOSCH MASTER CYLINDER. DUE TO THE MACHINING IRREGULARITY BY THE SUPPLIER, THE INTERNAL SEAL GROOVE IN THE BODY OF SOME BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS MAY ALLOW FOR A GAP IN THE GROOVE CONTACT AREA OF THE SEAL. THIS MAY RESULT IN BRAKE FLUID SLOWLY LEAKING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY, CAUSING THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE.

Risk. IF THE WARNING LAMP IS IGNORED, ONE OF THE BRAKE CIRCUITS ON THE VEHICLE MAY NOT OPERATE AS DESIGNED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE MASTER CYLINDER/BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY AND IF BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE IS DETECTED, THE MASTER CYLINDER WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 20, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Transmission problems! Dealer wants to Charge me $7,000.00 dollars to fix it! Recall has a warranty until 2022 or 120,000 miles . My car has 85,375 miles!they said that warranty already expired! But my car only has 85,375 miles and the warranty is 120,000 miles!

The car's airbag dashboard light has been on and blinking for about a month now- indicating an issue. I have not been in any recent accidents and it appeared on its own. Subsequently, the car horn does not work. Airbags and car horn are necessary to prevent accidents and serious injury, including death in the event of an accident. I advised my local Nissan dealership who stated there are no current recalls and the car would need to be inspected- which will likely be costly. No inspections have been made at this time.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle in front abruptly depressed its brake pedal causing the driver to crash into the rear of the vehicle. During the crash, the front end of the vehicle was severely damaged but no air bags were deployed. No injuries were reported. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 117,000.

Driver Air bag sensor light came on. The dealership reset it several times but it continues to come on. We paid the money to have them put the car on the diagnostic system. They are saying after review, the airbag needs to be replaced. It costs $1500 to replace the airbag. Which makes zero sense. The car has never been wrecked. Reports have shown issues with airbags in hundreds of thousands of Nissans. The 2008 Nissan Sentra needs to be reviewed for an airbag recall. This is extremely dangerous.

JUST DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY (NO BRAKES APPLIED) AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WENT BAD AND LOST POWER BRAKES.

I PURCHASED THE CAR DROVE IT HOME WITH NO PROBLEM. 2 DAYS AFTER MY PURCHASE IT DRIVES VERY SLOW AND WON'T PICK UP SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. *BF

THERE THE CODE OF P1778 THAT KEEPS COMING UP ON ABOUT A CVT AND IFS AFFECTING THE DRIVE AND STRAIN THE TRANSMISSION I DONT UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE IS RECURRING.AND THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. YOU CAN FEEL THE CAR HESITANT

BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY MY AXEL AND BALL JOINT. THE CONTROL ARM DISCONNECTED FROM MY TRANSMISSION. THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE SIDE PANELING IN FRONT MY TIRE. THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE EVEN WHEN PUT IN NEUTRAL. WHEN I GO IN REVERSE BEFORE THIS HAPPENED MY CAR WOULD PUTTER AND THEN DIE. THE CAR WILL NOT REVERSE UNLESS I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ROLL OUT FROM WHERE I AM.

AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES ON DASH WON'T GO OFF. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE... OVER 10 IN THE LAST YEAR ALONE REPORTED SAME PROBLEM

DRIVING OVER AN HOUR AND THE CAR STARTS TO STRUGGLE, I CAN FEEL IT LOOSING POWER, IN ORDER TO NOT PRESS DOWN ALL THE WAY, I'M DOING A GIVE N GO PRAYING I DONT STOP ON THE FREEWAY. I WOULD SOMETIMES FEEL JUMPING AND THAT I'M NOT IN FULL CONTROL AND IT HAS STOPPED ON ME IN A 15MINUTE DRIVE. I HAVE GOTTEN, A DIAGNOSTIC, 1TIME IT HAD 4DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION CODES AND ANOTHER A FUEL CODE. NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON, THIS STARTED AROUND THE 60,000 MILE I'M AT 90,000 NOW, SO YA, IT'S BEEN ROUGH.

MASTER CYLINDER IS LEAKING AND BRAKE LIGHT IS COMING ON

THE AIRBAG LIGHT BLINKS CONSTANTLY WARNING THE OWNER THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE UNIT. OTHER YEARS AND MODELS ARE AFFECT BY RECALLS AND I BELIEVE THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL SHOULD ALSO BE.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF IT WAS IDLE WHEN IT CAME IN BUT IT IS CONSTANTLY BLINKING , THE HORN COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING THE FIRST TIME WHEN I WAS TURNING THE CORNER, I GENERALLY REPLACED IT TWICE BUT IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AS I WAS SITTING IDLE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON EVEN AFTER I HAVE BEEN KEEPING THE MAINTENANCE UP ON IT.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IT SOMETHING TO DO WITH A 'COIL' THAT WENT BAD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING STARTED, THE RPM REVVED UP WITH AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN INFINITI OF SAN FRANCISCO LOCATED AT 1395 VAN NESS AVE, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94109, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO NISSAN SERRAMONTE LOCATED AT 1500 COLLINS AVE #A, COLMA, CA 94014, FOR A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MECHANIC DIAGNOSIS IS DEFECTIVE CATALYTIC CONVERTER SENSORS.

VEHICLE AIR BAG BEGAN FLASHING AND HORN STOPPED WORKING WHEN PRESSED.

AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON AND BLINKING CONTINOUSLY. THE HORN ALSO STOPPED WORKING. FEELS VERY UNSAFE DRIVING WITHOUT A HORN. SINCE BOTH THE AIRBAG AND HORN ARE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND READING THROUGH SEVERAL OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I WOULD ASSUME THEY ARE RELATED. SHOULD BE RECALLED AS MANY OTHER NISSANS HAVE BEEN RECALLED WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

ON JUNE 20, 2016, I TOOK MY CAR INTO A NISSAN CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REDONE UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT NISSAN DID FOR THE CVT ENGINE. THE CAR DROVE FINE AND THEN IN THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST 2019 JUST 3 YRS LATER AND 40,00 MILES ON THE NEW TRANSMISSION, THE TRANSMISSION IS MESSING UP AGAIN AND WE ARE TOLD THAT WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE SECOND TIME AT OUR COST. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN SENT OUT TO THE TECHNICIAN ON AUGUST 15, 2014 STATING THAT A 2007-2012 SENTRA WILL NEED A TRANSMISSION COOLER ADDED TO THE CVT TO PREVENT IT FROM OVERHEATING. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP DID NOT PUT THAT ON OUR CAR WHEN WE HAD OUR TRANSMISSION REDONE UNDER THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY IN 2016, AND NOW BECAUSE OF THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY OUR TRANSMISSION IS OUT, AND NISSAN IS NOT WANTING TO MAKE IT RIGHT.

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY ON DASH PANEL. CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT GO OUT. HAS BEEN RESET BUT COMES BACK ON AFTER DRIVING WITHIN SHORT DISTANCE. CAR HAS NOT BEEN WRECKED IN FRONT AND I AM ORIGINAL OWNER. CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY AS WE ARE AFRAID AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. WE DO NOT BELIEVE SAFETY EQUIPMENT SHOULD FAIL SO QUICKLY. ALSO SEE ONLINE WHERE MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCEING SAME PROBLEM. WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL. THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2008 NISSAN SENTRA HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. IT'S A AUTOMATIC AND SOMETIMES IT DONT WANT TO SHIFT GEARS WHEN I GET AROUND 30 MPH. THEN I HAVE TO STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE AGAIN AND IT WILL START WORKING PROPERLY. ALSO SOMETIMES WHILE I'M ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65-80 MPH THE RPM WILL FLUCTUATE FROM 2 TO 3 1/2 RPMS AND THEN OTHER TIMES WHILE GOING DOWN A HILL THE RPMS WILL STAY ABOVE 2 BUT MOSTLY 2 1/2 RPMS UNTIL I GET BELOW 15 MPH BEFORE IT DOWNSHIFTS. THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY AND ALL THE FLUID IS GOOD IN IT. IT NOW HAS AROUND 152,000 MILES ON IT BUT THE NISSAN COMPANY PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN IT A FEW YEARS AGO SO THE ACTUAL TRANSMISSION DOESNT HAVE THAT MANY MILES ON IT AT ALL. I'VE SEEN ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION FOR THIS CAR AND I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE IT ENDS UP TEARING MORE THAN THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF IT!

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING, THEN HORN DIDN'T WORK; NOW THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT WORKING. I SEE SEVERAL SIMILAR PROBLEMS NOTED IN THE DATABASE. SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WITHOUT THE HORN.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 NISSAN SENTRA AND THE CAR WOULD SHAKE OUT IF NO WHERE NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT DIDN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE ANY MORE IT'S JUST STOPPED AND I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGH WAY

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND ONTO CITY STREET. THE TORQUE CONVERTER GAVE OUT AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SPUTTERING AT STOP SIGNS AND LIGHT, AND THEN THRUSTING FORWARD JOLTING TOWARD TRAFFIC. I NEARLY HAD TWO OTHER VEHICLES REAR END ME DURING SPUTTERING, AND I NEARLY HIT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THE CAR THRUST FORWARD VIOLENTLY. I TURNED IN TO THE NEAREST AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP WHO TOLD ME MY TORQUE CONVERTER BLEW AND I WAS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE 82 DAYS AND NOW HAVE TO DO AN ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REBUILD, WHICH AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS, AS I ENDANGERED THE LIVES OF MY CHILDREN, MYSELF, AND OTHER DRIVERS/PASSENGERS ON THE ROAD. THE CAR HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED AND HAS ONLY ONE PREVIOUS OWNER. I DID NOT EVEN DRIVE 2,000 MILES BEFORE THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED, AND I FULLY BELIEVE THESE CONSTANT VARIABLE TRANSMISSIONS POSE A THREAT TO ANYONE OPERATING A VEHICLE, AND THAT THIS IS GROUNDS FOR A FACTORY RECALL OR AT THE LEAST ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT CALLED ALAN JAY NISSAN AT (863) 402-4280 (LOCATED AT 1700 FLARE RD, SEBRING, FL 33872) WHERE AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,481.

MY SRS INDICATOR LIGHT STAYS ON IN MY CAR WHEN I'M DRIVING IT, OR IT COULD BE SITTING RUNNING.CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION WITHOUT REPAIRS

A FEW MONTHS AGO WHILE TRYING TO PARALLEL PARK INTO A TIGHT SPACE I HAD TO CUT MY STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND THE CAR SHUT OFF, WHEN I RELEASED STEERING WHEEL THE CAR TURNED BACK ON, SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO RIGHT. MOST RECENTLY I WAS MAKING A K-TURN AND MY CAR KEPT SHUTTING OFF ON ME NO MATTER HOW MUCH OR LITTLE I WAS TURNING IT. I WAS LITERALLY STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET CREATING A TRAFFIC JAM. IT TOOK ME APPROXIMATELY 10,MINUTES TO MAKE A K-TURN

MASTER CYLINDER RECALL

AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY BLINKS ON AN OFF.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING. MY GRANDMOTHER TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE RESET, SHE DROVE OFF AND A MILE LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER YET, BUT I SEE OTHER DRIVERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I GOOGLED HOW TO RESET IT, DID IT MYSELF, BUT AS SOON AS YOU START DRIVING IT COMES BACK ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED ORR NISSAN (3131 E BEEBE CAPPS EXPY, SEARCY, AR 72143, (501) 268-5333) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 153,000.

THE TPMS SENSORS ARE ACTIVATED WITHOUT ANY AIR DROP, WHEN CHECKING THEM THEY APPEAR TO WORK CORRECTLY, IT IS RESET AND AT 20 MILES THEY ARE ACTIVATED AGAIN

AIR BAG STARTED FLASHING AND HAS NOT STOPPED. I NOTICED THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE AIRBAGS IN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND I AM WAITING TO SEE THAT THIS IS INVESTIGATED AND HELP WITH A RECALL DUE TO THE COST OF ATTEMPTING TO FIX THIS WHEN IT COULD WELL BE A FACTORY DEFECT. I ALSO HAD TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WHEN WHILE ON THE FREEWAY STARTED HAVING ISSUES ENDING IN THE NISSAN DEALER IN UTAH SHORT OF $3500 LATER AFTER THEY DETERMINED IT HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A MALFUNCTION DUE TO A COOLING SYSTEM PROBLEM, WHICH NEEDED A COOLING DEVICE OF SOME SORT IN ORDER TO PREVENT IT FROM OVERHEATING, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR.

THE DRIVER AIR BAG FLASHING RED LIGHT WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND NEVER GOING OFF ALSO THE HORN DOESN'T WORK.ALSO THE ENGINE BURN A LOT OIL AND I DON'T SEE ANY LEAKS

AIRBAG LIGHTS FLASHING SO AIRBAG WONT WORK IF THERE IS AN ACCEDENT NEED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ANYTIME

HAVING ISSUES WITH MY PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR. THE ONLY CORRECTION THE DEALER ISSUED WAS TO REPLACE THE SEAT WITH A NEW OR USED SEAT. A NEW SEAT WOULD BE OVER $3,000 AND A USED ONE WELL OVER $700 PLUS LABOR TO CHANGE SEAT COVERS. ERROR CODE B1018. THE VEHICLE IS BEYOND WARRANTY HOWEVER, BECAUSE THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING FAULTY HARDWARE, I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD GRACIOUSLY ADDRESS THIS WITHOUT CHARGE. THERE ARE AIRBAG RECALL CAMPAIGNS OPEN FOR OTHER NISSAN MODELS REGARDING THIS VERY ISSUE BUT IT UNFORTUNATELY DOES NOT INCLUDE MY 2008 NISSAN SENTRA. THE RECALL OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED! AT THIS POINT I MAY BE FORCED TO ACQUIRE A USED SEAT AT A LOCAL JUNK YARD, BUT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO VERIFY THE SENSOR IS WORKING IN THE USED SEAT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. AGAIN, THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED PROMPTLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS, INCLUDING RADIO AND CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORK AND HAVEN'T FOR SOME TIME NOW. THE "WHEELS" OR "HUBCAPS" PEELED OFF AND LOOK TERRIBLE. WHEN DRIVING OVER 60 MPH THE CAR SHAKES. ONE OWNER - 142,000 MILES

TRANSMITION IS NOT RESPONDING. WHEN IS HOT LOSES ALL THE POWER TO 30MPH. A WHYING NOISE

AIRBAG BLINKING ON DASHBOARD DUE TO PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTION AND/OR FAILURE. MY WIFE HAS PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED, AND WE HAPPENED TO HAVE ACCIDENT HIT BY OTHER CAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHILE I HAD BEEN TRYING TO GET BACK HOME ON THE WEEKEND AFTER GROCERY SHOPPING TRIP WITH MY WHOLE FAMILY AT 02/05/2017. IT HAPPENED AT THE SERVICE ROAD OF SH 121 TX. WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT ON THE STRAIGHT/LEFT LANE ON GREEN LIGHT. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED BUT SOMEHOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING ON THE DASH BOARD, OF COURSE WE TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THE SERVICE ADVISER HAS EXPLAINED THAT AIRBAG SENSOR ON PASSENGER SEAT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND THEY WOULD HAVE IT FIXED. SO WE THOUGHT WE GOT IT FIXED, AND DROVE IT AROUND FOR A FEW MONTHS. AND SOMEWHERE AROUND JUNE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH BOARD CAME AGAIN AND WE'VE TRIED TO SUMMIT THE SUPPLEMENT FOR THE AIRBAG ISSUE, AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED BY AUTONATION NISSAN AT LEWISVILLE TX AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY DENIED THE SUPPLEMENT REQUEST BECAUSE THE AUTONATION NISSAN HAS STATED THAT "AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONING ON NISSAN SENTRA IS A COMMON PROBLEM" AND FOR THAT REASON THE SUPPLEMENT WAS DENIED, AND IT GOT ME THINKING THAT IF IT'S THE COMMON PROBLEM AS THE SERVICE ADVISER OF THE NISSAN STATED, THEN WHY WON'T NISSAN ISSUE RECALL ORDER FOR SUCH AN CRITICAL ISSUE THAT MAY CAUSE CATASTROPHIC EVENT IF IT KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING? I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO HAVE PROPER INVESTIGATION ON THIS MATTER... BECAUS

TAKATA RECALL MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING AND WHEN IT WAS DIAGNOSED AT PATPECK NISSAN OF MOBILE THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WASNT PART OF THE RECALL BUT IT IS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT AND WAS TOLD IT WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH.

I JUST PICKED MY DAUGHTER UP FROM HER BUS STOP WHEN I WAS LEAVING HER BUS STOP TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO HARBOR NISSAN WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND UNDER THE HOOD STARTED SMOKING AND CAUSED A FIRE (I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 8 DAYS)BECAUSE I HAD BEEN HAVING EXHAUST ISSUES AS WELL WITH THE ALL MY DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING AND STALLING WHILE IN MOTION ON 2 HIGHWAYS ON 2 SEPERATE OCCASIONS.

I COULD NOT CONTROLLED THE STEERING WHEEL.IT WAS NOT CORRELATION BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE CAR. TRIKING A ROCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TOTAL LOSS. LUCKLY WAS FINE BECAUSE OF LOW SPEED.

I WAS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE BREAKS DID NOT STOP THE CAR FORCING ME TO HIT SOMEONE. I ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE WITH THE BREAKS WITH FORCED ME TO CHANGE THEM EVERY SO OFTEN. THIS TIME WAS TOUGH.

AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED RANDOMLY BLINKING WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID "FAULTY CLOCK SPRING AND DRIVERS AIRBAG ASSY - REPLACE (B1049 DRIVERS AIRBAG OPEN)". THE COST WAS $1,468.32 NO INCLUDING TAX, ETC AND SAID IT WAS UNUSUAL FOR BOTH PIECES TO BE FAULTY.

MY 2008 NISSAN SENTRA AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN THE PAST AND I HAD IT RESET BY THE DEALER. IT STAYED OUT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. LATER WHEN IT CAME ON AGAIN, I LEARNED HOW TO RESET IT MYSELF USING THE IGNITION KEY AND I DID SO WITH SUCCESS. THE LIGHT WOULD STAY OUT FOR AT FIRST A MONTH OR TWO, THEN IT BECAME A WEEK OR TWO, BUT NOW THE LIGHT COMES ON AND MY RESETTING IT WILL ONLY LAST FOR LESS THAN A DAY. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THIS WEEK. THE DEALER ADVISED ME THAT IT IS A FAULTY AIR BAG. THE DEALER DID A DIAGNOSIS/INSPECTION AND FOUND CODE 81134. THE DEALER ADVISED ME TO REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE SEAT ASSEMBLY AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME APPROXIMATELY $3,400 TO DO SO. IS THIS POSSIBLE FOR A 2008 NISSAN WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES ON IT? THE AIR BAGS FOR THIS MODEL ARE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, BUT I'M QUESTIONING IF THEY SHOULD BE.

TAKATA RECALL. MY WARNING LIGHT FOR THE AIRBAG WAS ON SO I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THE RESET THE CODE BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. NOW IT IS ON ALL THE TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING IT. I AM WONDERING IF IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2007 AND COULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST.

A SECOND GOODYEAR ASSURANCE TIRE SIZE 205/55/R16 DOT M60F UL1R 1614 HAS GONE OUT IN THE PAST 5 DAYS ON MY CAR WITH THE SAME ISSUE: BELT BREAKAGE LEADING TO TIRE SEPARATION AND FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRE UNDER MY ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT 6/24/16 AND NOW THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT 6/29/16. NO INJURIES OR CRASH INVOLVED.

STARTS TO SLOW DOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AFTER DRIVING FOR ONE HOUR

AIR BAG SAFETY ISSUE. ON OCTOBER 14, 2015 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT MCGRATH NISSAN BECAUSE THE "CS AIR BAG LIGHT IS FLASHING" MORE SPICIFLY THE CODE READOUT WAS B1134 FOR SENSOR FOR AIR BAG FRONT LEFT SIDE. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE ENTIRE [AND VERY EXPENSIVE AT $3000] AIR BAG MODULE MUST BE REPLACED. NISSAN IS UNCERTAIN WHETHER THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK OR NOT IN A FRONT LEFT SIDE CRASH. THE PART WAS ORDERED AND WAS EXPECTED TO BECOME AVAILABLE BEFORE END OF 2015. THE PART WAS 87651ZE90B FRAME ASSY-FRONT SEA AND I PUT DOWN A 50% DEPOSIT ON THE PART. IT IS NOW MAY 30, 2016. NUMEROUS CALLS TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO FOLLOWED UP WITH NISSAN, OCCURRED. THE ANSWERS VARRIED. IN SOME OF THE CALLS STATEMENTS WHERE MADE THAT NISSAN WAS HAVING SUPPLIER ISSUES. IN OTHER CALLS I WAS GIVEN A NEW DATE FOR ARRIVAL OF THE PART, AND PART HAS NOT YET ARRIVED. IN MY LAST CALL MCGRATH NISSAN WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE PART SHOULD ARRIVE IN APRIL. IT IS NOW LATE MAY AND STILL NO PART. IN JUNE 2016 I AM REQUIRED TO TAKE MY CAR TO EMISSIONS TESTING (SUBURB OF CHICAGO, IL) AND I AM ANTICIPATING FAILING BECAUSE OF THIS PART.
