2010 Nissan Sentra

WHILE DRIVING, MANY TIMES MY CAR LOSE POWER AND STALL OUT. RATE OF SPEED DOESN'T SEEM TO AFFECT WHETHER THE CAR STALLS. I HAVE TO THROW THE CAR IN PARK REAL FAST AND RE-CRANK IT AND IT TYPICALLY STARTS BACK UP. IF THE CAR WERE TO STALL OUT WHILE MAKING A TURN OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT IS CAUSING THIS, BUT I DID SEE A RECALL ONLINE THAT STATED THE BATTERY TERMINAL MIGHT BE THE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL OPERATION.

I OWN THE SR TRIM WITH THE 2.0 LITRE ENGINE, I TOO EXPERIENCED THE VALVE KNOCKING AND IT WOULD TRIGGER A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO A NEAR BY NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THIS WAS AT 75,000 MILES. ON 12/12/2018 WITH NO WARNING THE ENGINE THROUGH A ROD ON THE LOWER PORTION OF THE ENGINE. I WAS DRIVING 30 MPH I HEARD A RATTLE AND A THUMP, EVERYTHING WENT DEAD ON THE VEHICLE.

IN THE COLDER WEATHER HAS A LIFTER NOISE ..AS IM LEARNING THE 2.0 NISSAN MOTOR HAS THAT PROBLEM ..I BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND DONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AS THE CAR IS NOT WORTH IT. THE CAR HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT. I HEAR ALOT OF THE NISSAN SENTRAS DO THE SAME THING.WHY CANT THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ? IT MAKES THE NOISE WHEN MOVING OR IDLE

THE CAR STARTED MAKING A NOISE, TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE & THEY SAID IT WAS THE BELT TIGHTENER. THE CAR WAS HAVING A HARD TIME DRIVING UP HILLS ON THE WAY HOME AFTER GETTING THE PART. IT ACTUALLY STALLED OUT AT A RED LIGHT, MAKING IT VERY HARD TO BREAK. AFTER GETTING IT HOME & REPLACING THE PART THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. WE WERE GOING TO GO BACK TO AUTO ZONE TO SEE WHY & WHILE DRIVING ON THE WAY THERE A VALVE CAME SHOOTING THROUGH THE ENGINE. IT WAS QUITE ALARMING SOUNDED LIKE A SHOT GUN WENT OFF. WE PICKED UP THE BROKEN VALVE, PARTS OF IT LOOKED MELTED, & TOWED THE CAR HOME MAKING SURE NO CARS HIT US WE PUSHED THE CAR OFF THE RD. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT ON A HWY WITH MY 5 MONTH OLD & 11YR OLD.
