2011 Nissan Sentra

I PURCHASED THE CAR MARCH 14, 2011 AND THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ISSUES WITH MAKING NOISES AND VIBRATING. I RETURN THE VEHICLE THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND DEALERSHIP COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS, BUT REFERRED TO NISSAN SERVICE. ON JULY 29, 2011, MY MOTHER MOVED MY CAR OUT OF A FIRE LINE AT APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH. THE GAS PEDAL WENT WAY TO THE FLOOR AND SHE ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES. AT THAT TIME THE PEDAL TRAVELED MORE THAN 3/4 TO THE FLOOR ALMOST INSTANTLY. SHE DID LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRUSHED INTO A TREE TO STOP THE CAR. SHE NEVER REGAINED THE USE OF THE BRAKES. I DID GO TO THE TOWNG COMPANY AND TOOK PICTURE WHERE THE GAS PEDAL IS STILL IN 3/4 INCH FROM THE FLOOR. DJ

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT AN ENGINEER WAS GOING TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, BUT THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA THAT CAUGHT FIRE INSIDE DUE TO SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS NISSAN WONT ADDRESS THE ISSUE SATISFACTORILY I WANT SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS BEING AS THOUGH THEY ARE NOT THE CAR IS BRAND [XXX] NEW AND SHOULDNT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHERE NO ONE IS ABLE TO TELL US WHY IT HAPPENED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE THE INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM WITH THIS CAR. I WAS TOLD WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR THAT IN ORDER TO START THE CAR, MY FOOT MUST BE ON THE BRAKE. YOU CAN PUT THE CAR IN AUXILIARY MODE WITH THE FOOT OFF THE BRAKE BUT IN ORDER TO START THE CAR THE FOOT MUST BE ON THE BRAKE. I DISCOVERED THAT I WAS ABLE TO START MY CAR WITH MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE TO DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM. I WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TOLD THAT WITH MY MODEL CAR I COULD START THE CAR WITH MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I CALLED NISSAN SINCE I WAS GETTING CONFLICTING INFORMATION AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IN FACT I SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO START MY CAR IN THIS MANNER. THEY CREATED A FILE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, FILE #7139963, THEN I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD TAKE MY CAR IN TO ANOTHER DEALER AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE IF OTHER SENTRA OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ALSO OR WHETHER OR NOT THIS COULD BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE (WHICH I WOULD THINK IT COULD BE, ESPECIALLY IF A YOUNG CHILD WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO START THE CAR AND PUT IT IN GEAR) BUT I FIGURED THIS SHOULD BE ON RECORD SINCE ALL NISSAN SUGGESTED WAS THAT I TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE NISSAN SENTRA WHEN FLIPPED DOWN CAUSES LOSS OF VISIBILITY WHICH CAN MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE CARS AHEAD AND REQUIRES ADJUSTMENTS WHICH CAN MAKE IT VERY ANNOYING TO USE AND LEAD TO LOSS OF CONCENTRATION REQUIRED WHEN DRIVING. IT IS A BAD DESIGN AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS AS IT DID IN MY CASE AND SHOULD BE FIXED! *TR

1. VIBRATIONS COMING FROM STEERING WHEEL AND PEDALS WHILE DRIVING 60+ MPH ON MY NEW 2011 NISSAN SENTRA SINCE I BOUGHT IT. 2. DEALERSHIP HAS BALANCED THE TIRES AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND I WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW SET OF TIRES THINKING IT WAS THE TIRES IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO LOOSED SOME COMPONENTS THINKING IT WOULD FIX IT BUT IT HASN'T. *TR
