“The passenger side sun visor in my 2005 Nissan Sentra se-r was always hanging down about an inch lower than driver's side. The passenger side sun visor became completely loose and is now dangling to where I have issues seeing towards the right to see if it is safe to make a turn. Multiple issues with sun visors and Nissan from an internet search.”
NHTSA complaint #10293237, filed 2009-11, 46,000 miles“I purchased my 2005 Nissan Sentra in december 2005. In september 2007, I began noticing that my car was overheating. In addition to my car overheating, the heat stopped working. I do not have very much money and my warranty has already expired so I had a family mechanic look at the car. I had the water-pump replaced, the radiator flushed, the heating and cooling sensor replaced, belts and hoses replaced. After having so many things done to my car, the problem was still not solved. I then decided to take it to a repair shop. The repair shop flushed out my radiator. …”
NHTSA complaint #10217927, filed 2008-02, 69,000 miles“Lost horn for third time. A horn is safety equipment. The Nissan Sentra I own seems to be falling apart at 20,000 miles. I had horn trouble, brakes squeak like mad, windows squeak when up and down - hardly go up and down, another safety issue.”
