I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT NISSAN HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION. (CVT) AND THEY EVEN EXTENDED THE TRANS WARRANTY TO 120K. (I HAVE 144K ON THE CAR) I DID CONTACT NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WOULD MAKE A SMALL EXCEPTION. THEY TOLD ME TO HAVE A NISSAN DEALER CONFIRM THE CVT WAS BAD. I DID SO AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS BAD. AFTER I REPORTED BACK TO NISSAN THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HELP ME IN ANY WAY. THE COST TO GET IT REPLACED IS ABOUT $4200

SUBJECT: DRIVERS ARE MISLED BY THE NEWER ILLUMINATED DASHBOARDS TO THINK THEIR HEADLIGHTS ARE ON SEVERAL TIMES, I DROVE DURING THE NIGHT AND I WAS MISLED BY THE BRIGHTLY LIT DASHBOARD INTO BELIEVING THAT MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. IN FACT, THEY WERE OFF. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHER DRIVERS REPORT WITH ALL THE NEWER CARS THAT MUST HAVE AN ILLUMINATED DASHBOARD DURING THE DAY. PLEASE SEE A DETAILED DESCRIPTION IN THIS ARTICLE: HTTP://JALOPNIK.COM/HOW-LED-DAYTIME-RUNNING-LIGHTS-AND-LCD-INSTRUMENTS-ARE-1782654483 ALSO SEE THE HUNDREDS OF USER COMMENTS ON THIS SUBJECT. WHAT IS NEEDED? NEW RULES ON HOW TO PREVENT DRIVERS DRIVING THEIR CARS DURING DARK WITH THE LIGHTS OFF. A STUDY IS NEEDED TO FIND THE RIGHT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUE NEW MANDATORY GUIDELINES TO VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND PREVENT MORE CARS TO BE MANUFACTURED WITH THIS FLAW. ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN IF CARS ARE HAVE THIER LIGHTS OFF DURING TH NIGHT.

AUTO ACCIDENT 2 5 2016 HIT A TREE HEAD ON. AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY MAJOR HEAD INJURY. RT 295 NEW JERSEY . I FILE THIS ON BEHALF OF MR WILLIAM VANVELSON AGE 55 . HE IS IN COOPER HOSPITAL CAMDEN NJ. HE IS STILL IN COMA

WHILE DRIVING IT I RECEIVED THE SMELL OF COOLANT AND I STOPPED THE CAR TO CHECK AND I NOTICED THE LIQUID LEAKING THROUGH A PIPE IN THE ENTRANCE OF THE HEAD BLOCK WHERE THE ENGINE THERMOSTAT IS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND DISCOVERED TINY NEEDLE POINT SIZE HOLES IN ONE OF THE TUBES. THESE HOLES WERE MADE FROM INSIDE OUT OF THE PART. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ONE OF THE CARS I HAVE HAD DOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS. I HAD TO BUY THE PART THAT COST ME $250.00. I THINK IT WAS DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURING MATERIALS.

CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME WHILE TEST DRIVING A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA. APPRX SPEED 25- 30 MPH. AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER. HOWEVER, WE WERE GREATLY AND PAINFULLY BRUISED IN ABDOMEN FROM LAP BELT..? NO SHOULDER SORENESS SO DO NOT BELIEVE SHOULDER HARNESS DEPLOYED AT ALL.

WHEN I TURN ON MY CAR AND BEGIN TO DRIVE IT, IT MAKES A REALLY LOUD NOISE. IT IS HARD FOR ME TO TURN EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT. ALSO WHEN I AM ACCELERATING IN THE FREEWAY OR IN THE STREET THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I ACCELERATE IT STAYS IN THE SAME SPEED. I TOOK IT IN TO PEPBOYS AUTO CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS AN INTERNAL NOISE AND THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL STEERING. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE CAR CAN LOCK WHILE IM DRIVING OR TURNING AND IN TURN CAN CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT , SO THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER SINCE PEPBOYS DOES NOT FIX ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I HOWEVER DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALER. WHILE DRIVING I WAS ALSO NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY ENOUGH WHEN GETTING INTO THE FREEWAY BECAUSE THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO GO ANY FASTER.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE BATTERY IS LEAKING. ABOUT A YEAR AGO MY BATTERY WAS LEAKING BADLY AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT. ON FRIDAY MY HUSBAND WAS CHECKING THE OIL AND HE SAW THE BATTERY LEAK AGAIN. IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS CORRODED. HE CLEANED BUT IT IS STILL LEAKING.

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

MECHANIC AND I FOUND A RECALL ON MY MAKE AND MODEL CAR. NISSAN DENIED THE RECALL THREE TIMES SAYING MY MODEL IS NOT AFFECTED. I DISAGREE AND THINK MY CAR SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS IT SHOWS EXACT SYMPTOMS AS RECALL. ITS VERY POSSIBLE THAT MAYBE MY MAKE AND MODEL IS JUST STARTING TO BE AFFECTED. VEHICLE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. I LOSE BRAKES AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA AND THE ECM HAS GONE OUT DUE TO A FACTORY DEFECT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2010 NISSAN SENTRAS, HOWEVER MY PARTICULAR VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED AND THEREFORE NISSAN WILL NOT MAKE THE REPAIRS. NOT LONG AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE BATTERY. IT WOULDN'T START AT TIMES. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY, HOWEVER STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUES. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FEW MECHANICS AND THEY COULDN'T DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. EVENTUALLY THE CAR JUST STOPPED. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE, BUT IT WAS AROUND 12.7.14. THANKFULLY, I WASN'T DRIVING AT THE MOMENT, HOWEVER LOOKING AT OTHER PEOPLE'S STORIES, THEIRS DID. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THAT'S WHEN I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE ECM. AFTER DOING MY OWN RESEARCH, I SAW THE RECALL AND THE PEOPLE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WITH MY CAR AND THEN THEIR ECM DIED. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE STUCK WITH THIS CAR OR HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE REPAIRS, HOWEVER NISSAN WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE AS MENTIONED, MY PARTICULAR VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THAT IS BULLCRAP AT IT'S FINEST. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT I WAS REVERSING OUT OF SPOT AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF, I HAD NO CONTROL OF GAS HOWEVER LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD ERRORS WERE DISPLAYED. I PUT CAR IN PARK, TURNED IGNITION OFF AND TRIED TO START UP CAR WITH SUCCESS . SO I THOUGHT MAYBE SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED AND I WENT ON WITH MY LIFE. OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS THIS KEPT HAPPENING MONTHS EVEN YEARS APART AT THE STRANGEST TIMES. FOR EXAMPLE THE MOST RECENT TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF LIKE IT HAS SO MANY TIMES . BY NOW I STARTED THINKING MAYBE THIS IS MORE THAN A COINCIDENCE AND ACTUALLY SAW A RECALL ONLINE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. ONLY THIS TIME THE CAR WOULDN'T START BACK UP. I HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN AND TOLD THEM MY SUSPICIONS ON THE RECALL AND I GET A CALL BACK A FEW DAYS LATER SAYING I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND THEY CAN'T CHECK THE ELECTRICAL RECALL BC THEY CAN'T START THE CAR . WHAT DO I DO NOW!? *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2010 NISSAN SENTRA SL ON JULY 5, 2014 FROM A NISSAN DEALER. THE VERY NEXT DAY I DISCOVERED THAT WHEN I MOVED THE SUN VISOR DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN RAYS WHILE DRIVING, EACH TIME I MOVED THE VISOR DOWN OR UP IT HIT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I NEEDED TO READJUST THE MIRROR BEFORE IT WAS USEFUL AGAIN. WHEN THE SUN IS JUST ABOVE THE HORIZON IT IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SET THE VISOR TO BLOCK THE SUN RAYS FROM HITTING MY EYES WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE POSITIONING OF THE MIRROR IN RELATION TO THE VISOR. THIS FEELS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE MIRROR NEEDS TO BE RESET EVERY TIME THE VISOR IS MOVED UP OR DOWN. THESE SEEMS A MAJOR FACTORY INSTALLATION GLITCH. I COMPLAINED TO THE NISSAN SERVICE MANAGER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. HE SAID HE CHECKED OTHER 2010 NISSAN SENTRAS ON THEIR USED CAR LOT AND ALL OF THEM HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WHY HASN'T A FACTORY RECALL BEEN INITIATED FOR THIS ISSUE? THIS IS DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR SAFE DRIVING. *TR
