2011 Nissan Sentra

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD NOT RESTART OCCASIONALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 11V579000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 10V555000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER (94 NISSAN OF SOUTH HOLLAND, (708) 333-2000, LOCATED AT 16269 VAN DAM RD, SOUTH HOLLAND, IL 60473) DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

THE DASHBOARD LIGHT FLICKERED FOR AWHILE AND NOW DOES NOT LIGHT UP AT ALL. I AM UNABLE TO SEE THE GAS GAUGE, MILEAGE OR TEMPERATURE. THE DOORS NO LONGER UNLOCK WHEN I TURN OFF THE IGNITION NOR DOES THE BEEPER SOUND THAT MY HEADLIGHTS ARE STILL ON WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALER TWICE WITH THIS AND THEY WERE NOT BE ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THEY DID FIND A PAPER THAT DESCRIBED THIS SITUATION AS A PROBLEM ON THE 2011 NISSAN SENTRA.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, WHEN I ACCELERATED ON THE GAS IT THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND IT WOULDN'T LET ME GET PAST 40 MPH. AFTER I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FASTER THAN 20 MPH BEFORE IT STARTED JERKING. I CALLED A MCCLARTY NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN NORTH LITTLE ROCK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE DID NOT AFFECT MY CAR EVEN THOUGH YOUR WEBSITE DOES WHEN I LOOK IT UP BY THE VIN LIKE THEY DID.

IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND NO INVESTIGATION OR ACTION HAS BEEN DONE BY THE NHTSA YET. AS OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED BEFORE, I HAVE HAD MOMENTS WHERE MY CAR WOULD HAVE THE VDC LIGHT GO OFF AND THE CAR WOULD BEGIN TO NOT ACCELERATE OVER 2,000 RPMS AND WOULD SHAKE THE CAR IN A VIOLENT MANNER. I HAVE HAD ERROR CODES P0101 AND P0725 COME UP AND DISSAPEAR THROUGH A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS. I HAVE HAD TO INSTALL A NEW OEM MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR TO TRY TO FIX P0101 AND IT HAS RETURNED ON AND OFF. THE CAR HAS BEEN ACTING MUCH WEAKER THAN BEFORE AND WOULD HAVE LOTS OF HESITATION WHENEVER YOU WOULD GIVE IT ANY GAS. I HAVE TRIED TO SEARCH ONLINE TO FIX THIS BUT HAVE COME UP WITH NO DEFINITE ANSWER. I JUST WANT MY CAR TO BE RELIABLE AND THAT IS WHAT I EXPECTED WHEN THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED YET FOR IT TO START FAILING BEFORE THE 100K MARK, IT SHOWS HOW DEFECTIVE NISSAN PRODUCTS ARE. I HAVE PUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX IT ONLY TO FIND OUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED.A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS. GUARANTEED LAST TIME I WILL BUY A NISSAN FOR SURE.

I'M DRIVING NORMAL ON THE ROAD WITH NO CONDENSATION ON ROADWAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE "VDC OFF" INDICATOR LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR LOOSES SPEED AND JERKS. I PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. TURN CAR COMPLETELY OFF. WAIT A FEW MINUTES TO TURN CAR BACK ON. CAR MAY OPERATE NORMALLY FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN AGAIN THE "VDC OFF" LIGHT IS BACK ALONG WITH THE JERKING. I CAN BE EITHER ON THE HIGHWAY (WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS) OR DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS. WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR EVEN BACKING OUT MY DRIVEWAY I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE "VDC OFF". WHEN I AM STATIONARY AFTER TURNING MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, SOMETIME IT IS STILL ON AND THECRPM IS REVVING UP AND DOWN. MY FOOT IS NEITHER ON THE BRAKE OR THE GAS PEDAL. THIS LAST TIME 3/11/2019. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS OFF AND ON STARTING SINCE JANUARY 2019.

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WHEN IT WAS ONLY 20K MILES { 2 YEARS WITH WARRANTY}. THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM AND I WAS NOT HAPPY. ON 3RD YEAR (BEFORE 3 YEARS OR 36 MONTHS EXPIRATION DATE), I SENT IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUE (NO ACTION OR ANYTHING BEEN FIXED). IT KEEP HAPPENING AND I HAD TO SEND IT BACK AGAIN TO RECHECK WHEN IT WAS 50K. AND NOW IT'S 80K MILES AND THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I KEEP CALLING NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND ASKING FOR ADVICES. THEY CAN NOT HELP ME OR FIX IT. I WAS ALMOST GOT HIT FEW TIMES WHEN I DROVE THIS NISSAN
