PER NISSAN RECALL 169.202, MY 2008 SENTRA IS EQUIPPED WITH ROBERT BOSCH MASTER CYLINDER. THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AS SOON AS THIS INFORMATION WAS MADE KNOWN TO ME, BUT THE DEALER REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL. THE DEALER WAS NOT HELPFUL. ALL INFORMATION AND THE LINK TO THIS FORM WAS SUPPLIED TO ME BY FIRESTONE, NOT BY THE DEALER. THIS RECALL AND REPAIR OF THE MASTER CYLINDER SHOULD BE HONORED.

IT STARTED WITH A SMALL CLUNK NOISE THAT WILL GO AWAY AFTER A WHILE OF DRIVING THE CAR, SIX MONTHS LATER THE CLUNKING NOISE DOESN'T STOP,MOVE FROM REGULAR OIL TO FULL SYNTHETIC OIL, NEW SPARK PLUGS, BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK, NOW THE NOISE IS SO LOUD I AM AFRAID THE CAR MAY CATCH FIRE, BUT HAD NO CHOICE BUT DRIVE IT, MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 100 K AND I BOUGHT IT NEW EXPECTING THIS CAR TO LAST WAY LONGER THAN THIS, IS NOT FAIR OR THIS TO HAPPEN SPECIALLY WITH NISSAN KNOWING THE PROBLEM THEY HAD WITH PUTTING SMALLER PISTONS THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!! *JS

THIS IS THE THIRD TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE, LAST ONE WAS ONE YEAR AGO. THE AIRBAGS SENSOR CAME ON ALL OF SUDDEN FOR NO REASON AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME A BUNCH OF MONEY JUST TO CHECK IT (NOT TO REPAIR IT, JUST LOOK AT IT FIRST). AFTER THEY CHANGED OUT THE TRANSMISSION IT MAGICALLY FIXED IT SELF? THE TIRE SENSOR IS DISPLAYING THAT IT'S FAULTY / NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN PARKING LOT. STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED AND WHEELS WERE STRAIGHT. CAR WAS ATTEMPTED TO START MORE THEN 10 TIMES. A FLASHING REG CAR WITH A KEY ICON LIGHT WAS ACTIVE ON THE DASH. ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL THE IGNITION SYSTEM WAS LOCKED OUT AND HAD TO BE RESET BY THE DEALER. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE REPAIRING DEALER. DEALER SAID KEY AND INTERNAL CHIP WERE BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. TOOK TECH 30 MINUTES JUST TO GET STEERING UNLOCKED. NEW KEYS WERE MADE AND CAR STILL DID NOT START. DEALER SAID BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) HAD TO BE REPLACED AS IT WAS BLOWN, EVEN THOUGH OTHER SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY BCM WERE OPERATIONAL. REPAIR WAS 1,200. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AND THEIR CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS NOT A COMMON PART THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY WITH NEAREST VEHICLE SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET AWAY WHEN THE SUNROOF GLASS APPEARED TO HAVE "EXPLODED". THERE WAS A VERY LOAD NOISE FOLLOWED BY THE SOUND OF SMALL PIECES OF GLASS SLIDING ACROSS THE HOOD AND TRUNK. DID NOT SEE ANY PROJECTILE (I.E. STONE) THAT MIGHT HAVE HIT THE SUNROOF. THE GLASS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN BLOWN OUT AS OPPOSED TO AN IMPLOSION DUE TO BEING HIT BY A PROJECTILE. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE AND IT ONLY HAS 56,354 MILES ON IT. IT'S NOT BEING ABUSED IN ANY WAY, I ONLY GOT THIS VEHICLES BECAUSE IT'S ECONOMIC ON GAS AND I ONLY DRIVE IT ABOUT 5-15 MILES A DAY DURING THE WEEK. MY FEAR IS THAT, MY LUCK, THE TRANSMISSION WILL GO OUT AGAIN WHEN I'M OUTSIDE THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY PERIOD AND I'M SCREWED. NOW I'M DEBATING WHETHER I TAKE A LOSS AND SELL IT WAY BELOW WHAT I PAID FOR AND GET ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT'S NOT A NISSAN. I HAVE ALSO BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TIRE SENSOR, WHICH I KEEP HEARING IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY, THEY WANT $200 TO FIX IT. I HAVE ALSO HAD A WEIRD VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHICH I'M TOLD IS CAUSE BY A "HOOD LATCH" AND THEY KEEP ADJUSTING IT EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS INSTEAD OF FIXING IT PERMANENTLY. *TR
