“Sometime in april 2019 all of a sudden all the buttons switches in the steering wheel including cruise control; radio volume radio stations; the horn all stopped working without notice, also the air bag light began flashing. I asked the mechanic about that and he said lot if nissans have that problem. He said I might need to get the combination switch?”
NHTSA complaint #11288264, filed 2019-12, 145,000 miles“Transmission; I have had to change the CVT transmission on my Nissan Sentra twice in the space of a year. Before the last change I suffered a transmission leak that entailed me adding fluid when a whining noise starts. Steering; power steering is hard and does not move with ease unlike other cars I have driven. Speedometer; speed is inaccurate. I got speeding tickets because my speedometer did not accurately depict my speed. It was wrong and off by ~5 MPH when speed started to exceed 20mph”
NHTSA complaint #11229976, filed 2019-07, 220,000 miles“My car transmission is under warranty but dealership would not fix it, they say purple fluid is not Nissan certified but I have proof that transmission fluid was never changed, it seems coolant has contaminated the transmission fluid.”
NHTSA complaint #10510315, filed 2013-05, 64,984 miles“I had just finished washing my vehicle when I pulled out into traffic and could not drive my car at regular speed I had my foot all the way on the gas pedal and could not even get up to 5 MPH. Traffic was coming and I had to put on my four way blinkers so I would not be hit. I made it over to a parking lot and ran it around for a few minutes until it finally kicked in so I could get back into traffic.. At that moment I had my 3 year old grandson onboard and I was trying not to panic.... I recently purchased this vehicle from a friend.”
NHTSA complaint #10700952, filed 2015-03, 152,830 miles“In november I was driving on the highway for 30 minutes, next thing I know is that I have no power in the engine. The car would not go higher than 20 miles and the revolutions on the motor were as high as 5,000rpm. I lost control of the car because I could not accelerate and I could not stop the car because the brakes were very hard and unresponsive. I could not move the car, it felt like the car had the brake pedal push all the way with emergency brake, I tried to accelerate but it did not move. Had to tow the car to the Nissan dealer service department. …”
