2008 Nissan Sentra

I HAVE NOTICED THE MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I ADDED A BRAKE FLUID AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. MY MECHANIC HAS EXAMINED THE CAR AND DETERMINED THAT MY BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER IS LEAKING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE CYLINDER IS UNDER RECALL. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THAT THEY INSPECTED THE BRAKE CYLINDER FEW YEARS AGO AND THAT IT WASN'T AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. THE AFFECTED MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER IS BOSCH, AND THE SAME BRAND IS INSTALLED IN MY CAR. TWO DAYS LATER MY BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED, JUST LIKE THE RECALL STATES MAY HAPPEN. NISSAN REFUSED TO CHANGE THE AFFECT BRAKE CYLINDER!!!! *TR

WHEN MY CAR WAS COMING TO A STOP, MY KNEE HIT THE IGNITION KEY. THE ENGINE TURNED OFF THOUGH THE CAR GEAR SELECTOR WAS IN "D". THE STEERING ALSO WAS LOCKED. FORTUNATELY I WAS STOPPING THE CAR AT THE SIGNAL. IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, MY FAMILY WOULD HAVE BEEN AT RISK. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS RECALLS RELATED TO THIS TYPE OF SITUATION BUT NISSAN NEVER GOT IN TOUCH WITH ME NOR THERE IS NO RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO DO A RECALL TO SAVE THE CAR DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. *TR

SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS. THE LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SENSOR. A WEEK LATER IT CAME ON AGAIN, THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED AGAIN. AS I DROVE OFF THE LOT IT CAME BACK ON. THE ENTIRE RIM AND SENSOR WAS REPLACED. IT HAS CONTINUED TO COME ON REPEATEDLY OVER THE YEARS. IN ADDITION I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES YEARLY AS THEY WEAR UNEVENLY, REGARDLESS OF THE BRAND. THE BACK TIRES WEAR IN A WAVE PATTERN, THE FRONT WEAR AROUND THE EDGES EVEN AFTER NEW TIRES ARE BALANCES AND ALIGNED. I CAN NOT DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN BECAUSE OF THE NOISE THE TIRES MAKE. IT MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH. WITH ALL THE OTHER SENSOR LIGHT, TIRE AND SUSPENSION ISSUES OTHERS ARE HAVING I AM SURPRISED THERE HASN'T BEEN ACTION TAKEN. TIRES ARE NOT AN ACCESSORY PART, IT IS A NECESSARY PART AND WHEN THEY FAIL PEOPLE GET HURT. *TR

I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN JUNE 2014 AND THE CAR STALLED AT ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DRIVE A NISSAN SENTRA 2008 THAT I BROUGHT IN NOVEMBER 2011 WITH 32,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD COST $500. I HAD ALREADY REPLACE THE AIR SENSOR IN 2013 FOR $400 AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP WHEN THE CAR HAD 52,000 MILES BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS COMING ON. I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE TO EXPLORE WHY AT 72,000 MILES THE CAR NEEDS THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR REPLACE AND WAS THIS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THEY DID NOT HELP; HAD LIMITED ANSWERS AND STATED THAT THEY WILL CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP IN 3 TO 5 BUSINESS DAYS REGARDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND EXPLANATION. I DECIDED TO GET THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR REPLACED SOMEWHERE ELSE. HOWEVER, TODAY THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AND NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. I AM RETURNING THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC THAT REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR. HOWEVER, I BELIEF THERE ARE MORE ELECTRICAL/ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN SENTRA 2008 BESIDES THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT BEING FORTHCOMING ABOUT AND THIS CAN PUT MY LIFE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IN DANGER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE NISSAN BECAUSE THEY ALREADY DID A RECALL ON THE NISSAN ALTIMA FROM 2006 TO 2012 FOR THE SAME PART. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS THEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND SLIGHTLY CRASHED INTO A CURB. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND THE SEAT BELTS SEIZED AROUND THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

THE DRIVER OF A 2008 NISSAN SENTRA WAS STATIONARY IN A LEVEL PARKING LOT. WHEN SHIFTING THE VEHICLE FROM DRIVE TO PARK, THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG AND PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE ONLY OCCUPANT IN THE VEHICLE WAS THE DRIVER AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AND NO SIGNS OF DAMAGE VISIBLE TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. CURRENTLY, NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR AIR BAGS DEPLOYING WITHOUT COLLISION BUT HAS ISSUED VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN ID # PM952 THAT ADDRESSES SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS THAT MAY BE INCORRECTLY POSITIONED DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER PENDING SERVICE WORK AND NISSAN USA HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY THE DRIVER TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 67,000 MILES. *TR
