2011 Nissan Sentra Engine Problems

“I was driving down highway 138 union city when my vehicle started to shutter like it was going to stall. When I stopped at the red light the vehicle electrical load dropped and the car would not crank back up. I was able to jump it off and the car had no issues I had the battery tested and alternator tested both are good/.”

“I've been having issues with my vehicle. At times, the engine stalls and it cannot go above 15-20 MPH, even while driving on the interstate. The steering wheel also locks up, as well. The vehicle dynamic control indicator then turns on. Luckily, I've been able to get to a safe location when this happens, but I find it alarming. I also think this defect is affecting other important components in my vehicle. It has been happening sporadically for about 2 years now.”

“We put our VIN into the recall database and it did not come back as being one of the cars affected. However, we have experienced what is described in the recall: engine stalling and having to be turned off and restarted; no power to engine when stepping on gas while in drive. It has been okay on the highway, but will often cut out when driving in city, especially when starting back from a start or rolling start. Happens occasionally with no predictability other than has never happened on the highway.”

“In 2007, Nissan recalled more than 140,000 altimas due to the possibility of fire related to the cars air filter. There was substantial media coverage of the large recall. We own a 2011 Nissan Sentra, which we purchased for our teenage daughter. According to courtesy Nissan in richardson, texas, the cause of a recent vehicle break down with our Sentra was an air filter fire, which also caused fire damage to the airbox. This is the same defect which resulted in Nissan's 2007 recall. …”

“I had the same problems when it was only 20k miles { 2 years with warranty}. They didn't fix the problem and I was not happy. On 3rd year (before 3 years or 36 months expiration date), I sent it to Nissan dealership to inspect and they could not find any issue (no action or anything been fixed). It keep happening and I had to send it back again to recheck when it was 50k. And now it's 80k miles and the car is not safe to drive. I keep calling Nissan dealership and asking for advices. They can not help me or fix it. I was almost got hit few times when I drove this Nissan”
