2012 Nissan Sentra

WHEN OPENING THE DOOR THE HANDLE NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. UPON ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM, A PLASTIC PIECE THAT HAD ALLOWED THE SPRING TO ACTIVATE HAD BROKEN AND THIS WOULD NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO OPEN VIA THE HANDLE FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I WAS HOWEVER ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR, ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR. AFTER A HARSH WINTER AND THE POWER WINDOWN SWTICH BEING REPLACED AS WELL AS THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR I WAS ABLE TO USE MY DOOR PROPERLY AGAIN. THE WORSE THING IS THAT NOT EVEN 3 MONTHS LATER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN, DEALT WITH IT FOR A WHILE, BUT WINTER HAS NOW COME AGAIN AND I STILL CAN NOT OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. I HAVE RIGGED A WIRE LOOP AROUND THE PULLEY SYSTEM AND CREATED A WAY TO OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, BUT I HAD READ MULTIPLE BLOGS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SENTRA. I FIND THIS TO BE CONCERNING AND FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THESE PARTS AND OFFER LIFETIME REPLACEMENT OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY DOOR WAS MY ONLY EXIT, WOULD NISSAN BE PAYING MY FAMILY FOR MY DEATH?

I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH 56,000 NOW IT HAS 96,000, IT HAS CVT TRANSMISSION, THE STEP MOTOR IS NO LONGER USEFUL; AFTER HAVING RUN ONLY 40,000 MILES IS NOT FAIR !!!! I KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR, THE FACTORY SHOULD FIX IT AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER, I STILL OWE THE BANK .. $ 7,000 AND THE REPAIR COSTS ME $ 4,000. YOU THINK IT'S FAIR TO PAY SO MUCH MONEY, WHEN I'M SURE THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT ????

CAR COULD NOT CHANGE GEAR WHILE DRIVING HAD TO TAKE FOOT OFF THE GAS, WHEN SHIFTING GEARS FROM PARK IT WAS VERY LOOSE AND SLIPPERY, CAR CAN NO LONGER BE DRIVEN IT WILL ONLY GO INTO NEUTRAL. WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED I WAS WAITING AT THE LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND IT WOULDNT SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS.

MY NISSAN SENTRA HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT AND MY TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY BROKEN. THE CVT TRANSMISSION THEY PUT IN MY CAR HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IN IT FOR KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH IT. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN IT STOPPED MOVING AND I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART IT. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE T AGAIN WOULD NOT MOVE. I FINALLY GOT IT TO MOVE TO WHERE I GOT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HELP MY FIX IT 100% FULLY KNOWING THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION THEY PUT IN THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS. I SPOKE WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIRS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF THEIR WARRANTY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP ME WHEN THIS IS NOT MY FAULT. THEY KEEP PRODUCING CARS THAT HAVE THIS TRANSMISSION IN IT AND KEEP HAVING TO REPLACE IT EXCEPT FOR MY CAR. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN THAT I NEED A CAR FOR. I HAVE A LOAN OUT FOR THE CAR THAT NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT DOES NOT WORK! I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN PUT IN THAT IS KNOWN TO FAULT OUT!

2012 NISSAN SENTRA STARTED MALFUNCTIONING WITH BATTERY REPLACEMENT ON MARCH 25, 2015 AT HANLEES NISSAN IN DAVIS, CA, WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN SEPT 2013 AND WHERE I HAD MOST SERVICE PERFORMED WHILE I OWNED THE VEHICLE. I COMMUTED 1.5 HOURS EACH WAY FOR A NEW JOB IN ROHNERT PARK AND I WAS BECOMING ILL. UNABLE TO LOCATE HOUSING IN THE AREA I WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE JOB FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS. I SUSPECT FOUL PLAY WITH THE DAVIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. CAR STARTED HAVING A LOUD CLICKING SOUND AT JUST LESS THAN 30MPH. DAVIS SERVICED CAR FOR TWO MORE YEARS. THEY CANNOT PROVIDE A DUPLICATE SALES CONTRACT SAYING IT IS LOST. DAVIS REFERRED ME TO KIM AT FAIRFIELD NISSAN AND SHE TOLD ME IT IS MISSING. THIS DIFFICULTY SHOULD NOT EXIST. I ASKED LIENHOLDER CRB AUTO/MECHANICS BANK TO PROVIDE A COPY AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE. I MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO HAVE MY CAR ASSESSED AT NISSAN DAVIS, VACAVILLE, NORTH BAY NISSAN IN PETALUMA (REPLACED CATALYTIC CONVERTER 7-31-17 60, 000 MILES) PROBLEM NOT CORRECTED. VEHICLE NOW DEVELOPED EXTREMELY POOR GAS MILEAGE. I CONTINUED TO GET SICKER. I HAD BEEN ILLEGALLY EVICTED FROM MY RENTAL HOME AT 7172 YOLANO ROAD, DIXON, CA 95620 JUNE 3, 2017 WITH HARSH BULLYING AGAINST LAW IN CONCERT WITH THE SOLANO COUNTY SHERIFF'S (ONGOING INVESTIGATION) I HAD HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DAVIS PRIOR TO LEAVING THAT ADDRESS. I TOLD THEM I GOT REALLY ILL WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. THEY REFUSED DIAGNOSTIC WORK AND RECOMMENDED CLEANING DETAIL OF CAR AT MY EXPENSE. DID POOR JOB AND HAD TO REPEAT. ONCE HOMELESS, I WAS IN THE CAR, RELOCATED TO MARIN COUNTY AND CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE IN HEALTH. (ER VISITS TO DOCUMENT). MILEAGE HAD BEEN 35-40 MPG DECREASED TO15-20 MPG. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO SF NISSAN ON 10-3-17 AND THEY RESET ALL CODES, COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. CAR IMPOUNDED IN DT SF ON 10-6-17; ROBBED OF IMPOUND $500 CASH AND BELONGINGS ON 10-10-17. PLEASE HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A SQUEAKY GRINDING NOISE AND SHOOK WHEN BEING TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 86,000.

*CVT TRANSMISSION CRAP* REPORTED THE ISSUE YESTERDAY WITH THE SENTRA GOING INTO LIMP MODE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING DROPPING FROM 70 MPH TO 10 MPH. CODES P0744, P1722, P1788 TRANSMISSION CODES. P0744 MEANS YOU HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW TORQUE CONVERTER SOLENOID UNIT AS YOU CANNOT JUST REPLACE THE SOLENOID. COST OF THE UNIT $1,116.00. THE P1788 CODE IS THE STEP MOTOR THAT IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. AAMCO WILL NOT EVEN REBUILD THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME CHEAPER TO BUY ANOTHER TRANSMISSION THAN TO FIX THIS ONE. TIME NISSAN IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR CUTTING CORNERS ON THEIR TRANSMISSIONS IN ORDER TO MAKE PROFIT. THEY ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE 2007 - 2010 CARS, TIME TO ADD 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 - ? SINCE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE JUNK. DAUGHTER SENTRA ONLY HAS 103,000 MILES ON IT AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. FOR A CAR TO GO INTO LIMP MODE WITH NO WARNING IS WAITING FOR A FATAL CRASH. LUCKILY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN TO MY DAUGHTER. APPEARS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY NISSAN PLACED ON 2007 - 2010 MODELS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS MY DAUGHTER HAS WITH HER SENTRA. SHE GRADUATED COLLEGE AND NOW IS FACED WITH A 2000+ BILL FOR A REPAIR SINCE SHE CANNOT AFFORD A CAR PAYMENT YET. WHAT A WAY TO WELCOME SOMEONE TO THE REAL WORLD AFTER GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE 3 DAYS AGO.
