WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, MY 2007 NISSAN SENTRA LOST POWER THREE TIMES. ALL WARNING SIGNAL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH EACH TIME. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH DISAPPEARED. THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MILE OR SO UNTIL IT CUT OFF AGAIN. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT LOOKS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT FAILURE HTTP://REPAIRPAL.COM/CHECK-ENGINE-LIGHTLOSS-OF-POWER-DUE-TO-THROTTLE-BODY-UNIT-FAILURE-441. *TR

WHILE AT A RED LIGHT WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN THE ENGINE SPUTTERED, THE RPM'S REVVED UP REALLY HIGH, THEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY CUT OFF. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND, WHO WAS DRIVING, WAS ON A CITY STREET AT THE TIME BUT HAD TO EVENTUALLY CROSS A BRIDGE AND WAS EXTREMELY NERVOUS DOING SO. I HAVE A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SCARY SITUATION AND CAUSES EXTREME ANXIETY IN ME KNOWING THAT THE ENGINE COULD CUT OFF AT ANY MOMENT AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH AND/OR FATALITY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN 114 IN GRAPEVINE, TX HEADING TOWARD SOUTHLAKE, TX. THE ENGINE STUTTERED AND THEN SHUTDOWN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I COASTED TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. I NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HOOD. I GOT OUT TO POP THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. WHEN I TRIED TO LIFT THE HOOD FLAMES WERE SHOOTING OUT. I STEPPED BACK AND CALLED 911. WITH IN 3 MINUTES THE CAR WAS ENGULFED AND WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SHOWED UP AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. *TR

DRIVER, PASSENGER AND SIDE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY CAUSING INJURIES.

MY CAR'S POWER STEERING STOP WORKING. ACCORDING TO NISSAN I NEED A NEW POWER STEERING COLUMN, PRICE 1795.00 TO LABOR AND TAX. THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THE NISSAN SENTRA 2007 FOR THIS SAME REASON BUT FOR SOME REASON MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLED ONES. I THINK IF MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER CARS IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *JS
