Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The car suddenly died about 7/27/2015. It just shut off while my husband was driving and luckily he was at a light and no one rear ended him. Then on about 8/27/2015 the vehicle died while I was operating it. It restarted after a few minutes and drove about a quarter mile and died again then I managed to pull into a driveway but was blocking people from enterering or exiting. My husband came and pushed me out of the way. Then while I was calling for a tow, the car started again and I was close to home so I hoped I could make it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10760608, filed 2015-09, 75,000 miles“Driving on the highway. Engine check light came on. Car would only do 10 miles per hour on a superhighway - very very dangerous. I was able to drive 2 miles this way on very side of road to side road where I parked. When I started it up again it drove normally. This check engine light is very dangerous. I see there is a lot of trouble with Nissan sentras. Alot of trouble. It is time for this govt agency to start working for consumers and stop being front men for car companies. The car only has 57000 miles on it. I was scared out of my mind and very frightened. I am 73 years old.”
