This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I have a 2003 Nissan Sentra gxe 1.8 L. my car has cut off or will not stop properly since the incident date. I took the car to autozone and the error that came up where P0462 and P0335. I checked the with the haynes book and to correct the P0462 problem I have to replace the fuel pump and P0335 is the crankshaft sensor. I have noticed that many of the complaints of the website are the for the same problems I am having. I also called Nissan consumer hotline was told my VIN does not fall within the recall and I have same size engine for the recall. I feel because my Sentra is cheapest model of the Sentra's that is reason it is not apart of the recall.
I have received letters of "important safety recall notice" stating that my vehicle has a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety. My vehicle has stopped more than twice and has cost me more than $300 to fix. I had taken it to the miller Nissan in van nuys city (818-787-8400) and the problem was solved but then the "check engine soon" light came on and caused my vehicle to stop in the freeway on my way to work. My vehicle is currently at the shop for the same reason it stopped about a year ago. I recently took my vehicle to the mile's Nissan in van nuys city but now they want to charge me for a defect on the car they sold to me. I am consulting with my lawyer to take further actions.
Jumps forward sometimes without foot on acclerator, especially when making turn from stopped position. Dealership can not duplicate problem. False allignment at time of purchase. Dealership states steering column was put in off center. This problem was corrected. Creak and pops in dash on both driver and passenger sides. Has been taken to dealership on two occasions to fix problems. No luck yet.
Once approaching a stop (crosswalk), the vehicle accelerated without touching the accelerator pedal. The owner of the vehicle almost hit a pedestrian. Another time, the vehicle lunged forward when attempting to move out of parking space. The dealership has the vehicle as of 01-28-2003 with cause not identified yet. The owner is concerned about the performance and repair of vehicle and the safety of those around if failure occurs again.
