NHTSA complaint #10616565, filed 2014-07, 190,000 miles“When putting fuel in the gas tank I can only pump about one dollars worth at a time. The fuel spits out if you try to put more than 1/3 of a gallon in. This problem has continued I have had several mechanics look at it but the find no kinks or problems and can not figure the problem out. You also smell the gas while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #10607927, filed 2014-07, 12,000 miles“Our 2006 Nissan Sentra spills gas out the filler hole when attempting to refill. It has come gushing out spraying me and creating a very hazardous situation with fuel on myself and spilled at the fuel pump. I have done some research and have learned it is not an unusual problem, but one that I feel the manufacturer should take responsibility for. It is very dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #10342347, filed 2010-07, 53,023 miles“The following complaint is concerning NHTSA campaign # 07v527000 and #06v223000 both of these recalls deal with the automobile I own, a 2006 Nissan Sentra, which I purchased brand new in may 2006. I have been having major issues out of the crankshaft and camshaft sensors in the vehicle and oil intake over the last 18 months. The car would die while I was driving and became very hard to start as well as the oil intake became excessive. …”
NHTSA complaint #10490808, filed 2013-01, 101,000 miles“I have a 2006 Nissan Sentra s 1.8 l. I had the crankshaft position sensor replaced a month ago due to an issue with the engine losing power. It happens mostly after the engine has reached a certain level of heat. My issue returned only a few days later after the replacement. It will come close to shutting off sitting at a stop sign or stop light. It will also lose acceleration over 3000 RPM. It will stop running if left in idle for an extended period of time. I noticed a similar recall on the 2.5l version of the same vehicle. …”
