NHTSA complaint #11024635, filed 2017-09, 160,300 miles“My vehicle was in a car accident 4-2-2015. Mercury insurance lisa openshaw failed to investigate the underbody of the car in the rear. Shocks were bent inwards in the rear and never repaired by mercury. I had the shocks repaired. Along with the estimates of repair lisa openshaw threatened me by stating that mercury paid for repairs twice duplicating labor on same matters.

NHTSA complaint #10307045, filed 2010-02, 32,000 miles“Approximately june of 2004 my Sentra began to have extended crank times to start, especially after sitting for more than a few hours. I took it to the local dealer who diagnosed the issue as a faulty check valve in the fuel pump. They replaced the fuel pump assembly under warranty. This issue has happened again under warranty. The third time the dealer replaced the fuel pump under warranty even though the Sentra was 1500 miles out of warranty. The car is now at 82000 miles and the beginning to have long crank times again.”
NHTSA complaint #10286244, filed 2009-10, 25,000 miles“My son bought a 2007 Nissan Sentra s on july 27, 2007. This vehicle has broke down on 08/03/07, 08/07/07, 08/10/00 and as of today it is still at a Nissan dealer. The problem with this vehicle is that three times the while driving along for no reason it the car speed drops to 5 MPH. The first time it happened was at development and no other traffic. When this happened the car would only go 5 MPH. No faster. The second time this happened my son had two clients in the car and was able to get off the highway. The third time this happened my son and I were returning home. …”
