The car began to jerk when driven. One day, it stopped working; the engine was still running but it wouldn't shift gears. The transmission was repaired, and several parts were replaced. However, the car still jerks when reaching 50 miles per hour, the horn doesn't sound, not even the alarm, and it makes a loud noise when making a tight turn.

WHEN DRIVING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WON'T LATCH CORRECTLY. WHEN DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45-60 MPH YOU CAN HEAR A NOISE LIKE AIR IS COMING INSIDE THE CAR. ESPECIALLY ON A VERY WINDY DAY THE NOISE IS LOUDER AND IT FEELS LIKE THE DOOR WILL OPEN.

RUST/CORROSION AND PEELING OF PAINT (DELAMINATION) APPEARED AFTER 3 YEARS ON THE ROOF. CAR IS A WHITE NISSAN SENTRA 2015 AND I FILED A COMPLAINED WITH NISSAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT ITS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS OVER 3 YEARS EVEN AFTER SHOWING THE NISSAN WARRANTY BOOKLET DOCUMENT. I WAS GIVEN SEVERAL OPTIONS BY NISSAN, PAY $9,000.00 MY SHARE TO PAY THE BODY PAINT, $5,000.00 DISCOUNT TO BUY A NEW CAR PLUS 2 YEARS EXTENDED WARRANTY. CAR HAS ONLY 30,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I COMPLAINED JULY OF 2019. I WAS ASKED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET AN ESTIMATE FOR A PAINT JOB TOO. I TALKED TO MORE THAN 1 REPRESENTATIVE DURING THIS ORDEAL AND EVEN PLEADED WITH THEM TO JUST PAINT THE ROOF PART AND THEY SAID NO BECAUSE ITS NOT GUARANTEED THAT IT WILL ONLY BE THE ROOF THAT WILL START PEELING. MY LAST CONVERSATION WITH THEM (KACHA, EXECUTIVE) WAS LAST YEAR WHEN I GAVE UP BECAUSE IT GAVE US TOO MUCH ANXIETY AND GRIEF. THIS IS MY SON'S CAR WHO IS A FIRST RESPONDER AND STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR TOO. WE WERE A NISSAN FAMILY AND ALWAYS BOUGHT 4 BRAND NEW NISSAN FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS.

PREMATURE RUST SHOWING ON TRUNK LID. TAKEN TO THREE DIFFERENT CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALERS WHO HAVE STATED THE RUST ISN'T BIG ENOUGH TO PLACE AN ADULT FIST THROUGH AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THEIR CORROSION WARRANTY.
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Sentra vehicles manufactured June 4, 2012, to April 9, 2016. The front passenger seat belt bracket may become deformed if it is used to secure a Child Restraint System (CRS). The deformed seat bracket may cause the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to incorrectly classify the installed CRS, resulting in the front passenger air bag to not be turned off as designed when a CRS is in the seat.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the frontal passenger air bag deploys in the event of a crash when a child seat is installed in the front passenger seat, there will be an increased risk of injury to the child in the CRS.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will reinforce the seat belt bracket as well as reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU), free of charge. The recall began on June 13, 2016. Owners are warned not to install a CRS in the front seat. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, Infiniti customer service at 1-888-833-3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured June 9, 2015, to June 10, 2015, and 2015 Nissan Sentra and Versa Note vehicles manufactured June 5, 2015, to June 13, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the driver side front and rear doors may not fully latch. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A door that does not fully latch may result in the door opening while the car is moving. The distraction may increase the risk of a crash and/or a vehicle occupant may fall out of the vehicle if they are not wearing a seatbelt, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the date, lot number, and cavity code on the left front and rear door latches, and replace them, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
