2009 Nissan Sentra

I HAVE GONE THROUGH 5 BATTERIES IN 6 YEARS ONE BLEW UP UNDER MY HOOD. I CHANGED THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE ASSEMBLY AFTER THAT HAPPENED. IT HASN'T HELPED IN KEEPING BATTERIES FOR MORE THAN A YEAR IN THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD THE SYSTEM CHECKED EVERYTHING COMES BACK NORMAL. I CAN CHARGE ANYTHING IN MY CAR WHILE THE CAR IS OFF AND NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. I WOULD THINK THAT THERE WOULD BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT. MY DOORS LOCK/UNLOCK INCONSTANTLY WHEN USING MY FOB TO PERFORM EITHER FUNCTION. I HAVE TO DO IT MANUALLY. THE GAS TUBE HAS PULLED AWAY AND IS UNSTABLE. MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. IT HAPPENED IN A SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT, ON AN ON RAMP TO GET ON A FREEWAY, IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET. AAA KNOWS ME WELL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT IT BEFORE ON ANOTHER WEBSITE, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN THIS WEBSITE.

THIS IS A 2009 NISSAN SENTRA PURCHASED NEW FROM REED NISSAN IN 2009. IN JANUARY 2016 THE HORN FAILED COMPLETELY. FOR SOME TIME BEFORE THAT THE HORN WAS WORKING ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, AND FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS BEFORE THAT THE CAR WOULD MAKE A CLACKING SOUND WHEN TURNING. ON JANUARY 28, 2016 WE BROUGHT IT IN TO REED NISSAN TO INVESTIGATE. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE CONDITION AS "TECHNICIAN FINDS THAT THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY IS FAULTY CAUSING NOISE AND BINDING." WE WERE CONCERNED THAT SINCE THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC COLUMN NOT REPLACING IT MIGHT LEAD TO STEERING FAILURE, AND THE LACK OF A HORN MADE THE CAR UNSAFE. REED NISSAN INDICATED THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE COST OF THIS SERVICE WAS: PARTS$1,956.48 LABOR$ 289.88 FREIGHT $ 80.00(TO REPLACE STEERING COLUMN).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE SPRIAL CABLE AND THE FRONT PASENGER SIDE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,400.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED MANUALLY IN ORDER TO RESTART. THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

APPROX. 5/26/15 AFTER OPENING AND TRYING TO FUEL MY CAR AT THE GASOLINE STATION I NOTICED THE FUEL FILLER TUBE WAS LOOSE. THIS STATION (USA GASOLINE) HAD RECENTLY INSTALLED NEW NOZZLES ON THE GAS PUMPS. DUE TO THE LOOSE FILLER TUBE ON MY CAR, I HAD TO DRIVE TO AN ARCO STATION TO COMPLETE THE FUELING OF MY CAR. ON 6/10/15 DURING NORMAL MAINTENANCE (OIL CHANGE, CHECK FLUIDS, ETC) I ASKED THE SHOP TO REPAIR THE LOOSE FUEL FILLER TUBE. THEY REFUSED, SAYING I HAD TO HAVE THE REPAIR COMPLETED AT AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER. I DROVE TO THE NISSAN SHOP, THEY SAID I HAD TO CALL NISSAN NORTH AMERICA FOR AUTHORIZATION. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL OR ANY NOTICE ABOUT FUEL DELIVERY PROBLEMS, MY NISSAN WARRANTY EXPIRED 3/25/15. SHOULDN'T FUEL SYSTEMS BE COVERED UNDER SOME TYPE OF SAFETY DESIGNATION? MY NISSAN SENTRA 2009 HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON ODOMETER, SHOULDN'T FUEL SYSTEMS PROBLEMS BE CONSIDERED A DEFECT IN DESIGN OR WORKMANSHIP?

DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG ALERT BLINKING. NISSAN CLAIMS NO RECALL AND STATES THAT THEY MUST REPLACE THE AIR BAG IN ORDER TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. MY CAR IS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS; WHAT CONSTITUTES A MANDATORY RECALL? MUST CONSUMERS WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF INCIDENTS BEFORE IT IS DETERMINED A FAULTY PART? *TR
