“My 2007 Nissan Sentra was purchased new in december 2006. After having to bring in my car on several occasions for minor glitches (a rear-view mirror falling off, one of the sun-visors fell off), I finally had a big problem. In february 2008, while driving on a straight, flat road, while approaching an intersection I prepared to stop my vehicle for a light. I was about 4 car lengths behind the car ahead of me, and was only traveling about 35 MPH. When I pressed the brake pedal softly, nothing happened. Then I pushed the brake pedal down all the way, and still nothing happened. …”
NHTSA complaint #10263809, filed 2009-03, 20,000 miles“The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Sentra. The contact is experiencing issues with the front defroster/defogger system. She stated that the defogger only activates in the middle of the windshield and only defrosts the middle of the glass. It does not operate on the driver or passenger sides of the windshield. She took the vehicle to the dealer twice for this failure and they stated that it was working properly. The contact was advised that the defroster would eventually work itself over the entire windshield; therefore, there was nothing for them to repair. The failure mileage was 30,000. …”
