2007 Nissan Sentra

I WAS IN A SEVERE CAR ACCIDENT 7/24/2011 ON HIGHWAY 285 WESTBOUND. MY CAR HIT SEVERAL THINGS PRIOR TO FLIPPING OVER 3 TIMES. NON OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I AM SUFFERING FROM MAJOR MIGRAINES FROM WHEN MY HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL AS MY ENTIRE LEFT SIDE OF MY BODY IS UNBELIEVABLY SORE FROM ME CONSTANTLY HITTING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO MY CAR AS IT HAS BEEN TOTALED OUT... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THE CLUTCH PEDAL FAILED. THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON A HILL AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARDS FORCING HIM TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THEY HAD TO CHECK FOR FLUID LEAKS ON THE MASTER AND SLAVE CYLINDERS BEFORE REPLACING THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I DRIVE A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA, AND THE POWER STEERING HAS BEEN FAILING FREQUENTLY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. THIS VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING. THE ISSUE OCCURS MORE OFTEN IN THE COLD WEATHER, AND THE POWER STEERING HAS BEEN FAILING ALMOST DAILY THIS WINTER. TYPICALLY, AFTER THE CAR IS RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES THE PS LIGHT WILL TURN OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WILL AGAIN OPERATE CORRECTLY. OFTEN I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT FUNCTIONAL POWER STEERING, AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE CAR. BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS WORSENED BY THE COLD WEATHER, THE ROADS MAY BE ICY OR SNOWY, ADDING TO THE DANGER OF OPERATING WITHOUT PROPER FUNCTIONING STEERING. IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO HAVE THIS ISSUE DIAGNOSED BY MY MECHANIC, AS I HAD TO GET THE CAR TO HIM WHILE THE PS LIGHT WAS ON, AND WHEN HE RAN IT THROUGH THE COMPUTER IT GAVE HIM THE CODE C1606. HAVING DONE RESEARCH ONLINE, I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, BUT NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALL. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX (ESTIMATED AT $2,500), BUT DUE TO MY CAR NO LONGER BEING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, I AM EXPECTED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR. NISSAN WAS WILLING TO OFFER ME $150 TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM AT ONE OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS. THEY OFFERED ME THIS MONEY AFTER I INSISTED ON SPEAKING WITH A SUPERVISOR, AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM A CONSIDERED A "LOYAL CUSTOMER", HAVING OWNED A 1998 SENTRA IN THE PAST. BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS THAT ARE SUFFERING FROM THIS MALFUNCTION, AND THE SAFETY CONCERNS INVOLVED, I BELIEVE A RECALL IS IN ORDER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,488 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE CAR RAN FINE, UNTIL ONE DAY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMED TO DIE (ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED) AND THE CAR SEEMED TO LOCK ITSELF UP. THE POWER STEERING STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND MADE IT HARD TO DRIVE. AFTER PULLING OVER TO RESTART IT, IT WOULD NOT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT MAY BE THE BATTERY, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE EXACT PROBLEM. IT'S BEEN NEARLY A WEEK SINCE THE PROBLEM STARTED AND NO RESOLUTION YET. I CHOSE TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION IT BECAME VERY UNSAFE TO OPERATE. SINCE I WAS IN A FAIRLY RESIDENTIAL AREA IT WASN'T HARD FOR ME TO PULL OVER AND GET HELP, BUT HAD I BEEN ON A MAJOR ROADWAY I COULD SEE THIS PROBLEM BEING POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS. I ALSO FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE MORE CLOSELY LOOKED AT SINCE THE TECHNICIANS WERE NOT ABLE TO ACCURATELY IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAD YET TO BE SEEN UNTIL I BROUGHT MY CAR IN. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 SENTRA 2.0S, WITH BRAND NEW GOODYEAR ASSURANCE TRIPLETRED TIRES, THAT I BOUGHT NEW FROM NISSAN IN BROOKLYN PARK, MN. ITS COLD AND ICY HERE IN THE WINTERS! I STARTED NOTICING A LOT OF SWAYING AND LOUDNESS IN THE REAR ON BUMPY ROADS AND ICE/SNOW. AFTER ROUGHLY 5000 MILES OF DRIVING ON NEW TIRES ALL AROUND, MY REAR TIRES DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY TO 6/32S, BRAND NEW IS 11/32S, AND WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY HAD NO COMMENT. WHEN I SPOKE TO DISCOUNT TIRES ABOUT THE 80K WARRANTY ON THE GOODYEAR TIRES, THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THEM BUT WERE VERY CONFUSED ABOUT HOW THEY GOT BALD SO QUICK AT ONLY 5K MILES. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS IN THE WINTER BUT ITS SUPPOSE TO SAVE ME GAS, BUT IT DOESN'T. MY LITTLE ACURA HAS BETTER GAS MILEAGE. OBVIOUSLY WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAD NO CLUE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND EVEN WHEN I SAID, "I HAVE READ A LOT ON REAR TIRE ALIGNMENT ISSUES WITH MY NISSAN AND I WANT ANSWERS FROM YOU", THEY STILL LOOK AT ME LIKE THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. UNTIL I SHOWED THEM WHAT I PRINTED OFF THE INTERNET, THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE SITUATIONS AROUND THE GLOBE AND IF I WANTED TO FIX MY SENTRA IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA WITH 53,000 MILES. STARTED MAKING LOUD RATTLING NOISES WHEN TURNING TO RIGHT AND WHEN COLD TO START. STARTED TO GET VERY SCARY AND TOOK INTO MECHANIC, SINCE NISSAN CHARGES $120 JUST TO DIAGNOSE, EVEN IF UNDER WARRANTY. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE RIGHT MOTOR MOUNT AND WAS EXTREMELY UNUSUAL TO SEE WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. I SPOKE WITH A FRIEND THAT WORKED AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID IT ALWAYS HAPPENS, AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. I SPOKE TO CORPORATE, AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP AT ALL. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN WHEN YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR CAR AND HAVE LOW MILEAGE. I WILL NEVER BUY NISSAN AGAIN. *TR
