Date Complaint Filed: 03/28/2014
Component(s): ENGINE
Date of Incident: 01/14/2014
NHTSA ID Number: 10575281
Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc.
Vehicle Identification No. (VIN): 3N1AB7AP2DL...
SUMMARY:
THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 12/31/2013, WITH 22 MILES
SHOWING ON THE ODOMETER. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT,
THE CAR ENGINE CUTS OFF, I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND RESTART
WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEM. THE ENGINE HAS STOPPED THREE OTHER TIMES SINCE THEN,
THE OTHERS WERE WHILE IDLING AND DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25-30MPH.I SHOULD
HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS A
FLUKE, BUT AFTER THE FOURTH TIME, I'M A BIT AFRAID THAT THIS WILL CONTINUE TO
HAPPEN AND PROBABLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.HOW DO I BEGIN TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM
WITH NISSAN?

Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , ENGINE Date of Incident: 01/18/2014
NHTSA ID Number: 10565535
Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc.
Vehicle Identification No. (VIN): 3N1AB7AP9DL...
SUMMARY:
ENGINE STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH.
STALLED AGAIN ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AT 30 MPH. WENT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE
UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES, BUT NISSAN
WILL NOT RECOGNIZE ENGINE STALLS AS A CURRENT ISSUE WITH 2013 NISSAN SENTRAS.
HOWEVER NISSAN DID SEND ME ONE MONTHS CAR NOTE FOR THE VEHICLE BEING IN THE
SHOP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO NISSAN THERE IS A SUGGESTED
REPAIR INVOLVING THE ACCELERATOR ON THESE VEHICLES, BUT THE COMPANY WILL NOT
AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR UNLESS THEIR TECHNICIANS CAN REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. AFTER
SEVERAL CALLS TO NISSAN THEY SIMPLY SAY THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM I AM
HAVING BUT THE COMPANY WILL NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR AT THIS TIME. THEY MORE OR
LESS LEFT IT TO ME TO CONTINUE WITH MY OWN RESEARCH ABOUT A POTENTIAL RECALL
INVOLVING ENGINE STALLS.

NIssan 2013 Sentra
Complete transmission Failure. 1000% Dealer maintained. Extensive records for july-august brakes, alignment, tires, oil change, blue service. I mean it was checked and 2 nonths later transmission failure. I wanted to give the car back. File for Bankruptcy due to the debt. I ended up fixing it. But as soon as possible It is gone.
I will never ever go "N" word which stands for NISSAN! I am in a bind for transportation. I am disabled. I feel so stupid for buying this car it was my first brand new car. Nissan only replaces the whole transmission that is their policy and No nissan will not help. I wish to sue. But alot of customers are leaving Nissan and one more just left. I loved my little Nissan Sentra. I get it back next week but I am afraid of the car now. I do not feel safe.
