Gas gauge is not working you can fill the gas all the way up and the gauge doesn't go on the full bar it just fills up to 3/4. then the gas miles will say 340 then next thing you know it says 280 then drive a little more it goes to 320. The A/C doesn't work as much as you fix it and for the A/C to blow cool the gas has to be filled up all the way.
This 2014 Nissan Sentra has been in my possession since September 12, 2015. The issue started up on Sunday, July 1, 2018. I noticed the car hesitating and "jerking" whenever I attempted to accelerate above 40 mph to reach highway speed. The problem increased dramatically over the week, and during my commute on Friday, July 6, 2018, my car was resisting accelerating, RPM would jump up and down while attempting to get to highway speeds and acceleration seemed to be the most difficult thing to accomplish. On my way back home from work on Friday July 6, 2018 is when the problem became blatantly dangerous. I ended up experiencing a sudden "drop" in speed on the highway. The car went from 65 mph to 30 mph and refused to go any faster. The RPM did jump dramatically at one point, from barely over 1 RPM leaping up to 7 rmp, though the car's speed did not increase. The car whined loudly when that happened, then it plummeted back down to the barely over 1 rmp. I managed to get the car back up to highway speed on a downhill portion of the highway, and got myself almost to my home. The car ceased to accelerate or even recognize I was pushing on the gas pedal after coming to a complete stop at an intersection 8 blocks from my home. I called my boyfriend who came down to assist a kind neighbor who heard me trying to get my car going by turning it on and back off numerous times to no avail. He thought it "simply needed transmission fluid", as the car sounded like it wanted to go....just couldn't "catch gears". this gentleman and my boyfriend ended up giving the Nissan a push/running start after I started it back up and put it into drive. Incredibly, this allowed the car to make the last 8 blocks to my driveway, where the car came to a very abrupt, halting stop after putting it into park. Terrified to drive it, my dealership is nearly 100 miles away..leaving me sol.
On 5 different occasions my Nissan Sentra has stalled on its own while driving on the highway. I've only had this car for 3 years and my car is very well maintained. I've noticed that the RPM gage looks shaky then the car stalls as if I'm going to break down. This is a big safety concern to me cause this could cause deaths. I drive with my children. Also I've taken it to the dealer and they don't know what is wrong with it.
I was not happy with the car I made it clear when I first seen it. I was in two car accidents with two months after the accidents I found out it had been in 2 accidents befre I got it a real lemon the car dealer ran the con man game on me an my family at a time I was stranded and in distress I want my money back and return this deadly car.
On 3 different occasions my 2014 Nissan Sentra has stalled and started on its own. I noticed that the RPM gage will look jumpy then it feels as the car is shaking then it stalls and within 5 minutes it turns back on. This has happened when at stop light in traffic and while in the drove thru it fast food restaurant. My concerns is im always driving with my kids in the car and what if this occurs when in a situation that can put my children and self in danger.

After starting my engine, shifting my car in drive and moving forward, I hear a weird noise and my car kicks back a little before moving forward. Please help?
While at a stop light in a city street the engine went dead and the lights in the dash board lit up. After several attempts to restart the car I turned off the A/C and the car started up again. If this had occurred on the freeway a major problem could have occurred.
Takata recall my car shut down completely on me with out a warning while I was driving on the streets going towards work. I need Nissan to check out what's going on this is not just happening to one person but a lot. Something has to be done as soon as possible
I never received notification that there was a recall on my vehicle. I was checking my online account and called for technical support and was told at that time. Nissan has all my numbers, address and two emails and I was not notified. The problem was fixed, but my concern is that I was not notified!!!
My car idles very high when I start it.the RPM goes past 2 and takes several minutes to come down.it stalls during take off and the dealer says nothing is wrong.the only time my RPM is at 0 is when the car is off
I was driving on the streets, about to enter the freeway onto South I-880 and I hear a bang. The driver's side window shatters inward. The city of fremont police came and inspected my car and didn't see anything that could've caused it. Incident history# P14101613 date: 12/10/14 time: 1710 hours the next day, my dad went to the Nissan dealership that sold me the brand new 2014 Nissan Sentra back in may of 2014 but the manager on duty said in his 30 years working there, he had never heard of such an incident (spontaneous glass breakage). Then, my dad went to another mechanic and he worked on my window today, 12/19/14 and saw that the metal that is used on my window was slightly bent. This was a manufacturing defect and unsafe for me to drive but the Nissan dealership is unable to help me. I don't feel that I can drive far any more because the metal is not fixed due to the manufacturing defect, I fear that it would happen again. It shouldn't be like that, especially since I bought a brand new car!
