Sporadic loss of throttle response while driving. This has happened twice, incidents occurring about 2 weeks apart. The first incident occurred while driving. I went to accelerate and had no throttle response. The situation corrected itself in under 20 seconds. I believe it was in wet weather conditions. The second event occurred yesterday 03/15/24 in wet conditions pulling out of a parking lot. Loss of all throttle response. Let vehicle coast to a safe spot and pulled over. Turned engine off and restarted vehicle. Normal throttle response after that.
Intermittently unable to start (start button flickers quickly sometimes). Dealer checked out common start issues like battery and alternator for free and charged for start lamp switch but still intermittently cannot start car. Based on internet research, not just me and possible needs to be recall on start lamp or corroding brake/cruise switches immediately above brake. Stranded several times. When won't start also won't use lights, door locks, etc.
I've purchased a 2019 Nissan Sentra SV on 06/06/2023 from Empire Hyundai in Fall River Ma. I received the vehicle on 06/09/2023. Shortly after leaving the dealership, malfunction lights appeared with a continuous beeping sound. It would disappear when the car was turned off, and reappear after restarting the vehicle and driving for a few minutes. I had a bumper to bumper inspection conducted at Firestone in Fall River, on 06/10/2023. Tony, (Empire Hyundai salesman) had informed myself via text message on 06/13/2023, My vehicle registration and plates were completed and ready to be retrieved. He was adamant, that I get an inspection sticker right away with the voucher provider by Empire Hyundai. I retrieved the plates and registration that afternoon. I also texted Tony the bumper to bumper results and the malfunction signal(s). The earliest appointment was set for 06/20/2023 at this establishment. While I was traveling to my work site an hour out from my residence on 06/19/2023. Approximately five minutes away from the site, the vehicle abruptly slowed down. And would only move backwards, no matter the gear it was in. The vehicle was towed to Empire Hyundai at my expense. I tried to speak with the Management on 06/21/2023 for a refund. That wasn't successful. Empire Hyundai towed the vehicle to Stateline Nissan in RI on 06/22/2023, at approximately 10:00 am. Stateline Nissan disclosed to myself, they replaced the original transmission to this Nissan, just two months prior per Empire Hyundai's request. As I reviewed the documents I requested from Stateline Nissan. Empire Hyundai's invoice confirmed the vehicle malfunction lights are displayed and the transmission was replaced. Stateline Nissan informed myself on 06/22/2023. One hour before they closed, the vehicle was all done. I was able to retrieve the vehicle the next morning. Just moments after leaving Stateline Nissan, the malfunction signal reappeared along with the continuous beeping sound.
The transmission started slipping a few weeks ago and then last night it seemed like the car completely stopped working. The car didn-??t shut off then but the rpm went all the way up to 6 and then there was a pop. My car then jumped and stopped moving. That was when it stopped in the middle of the road with oncoming traffic. It has done with multiple times in the past couple weeks. It has not been confirmed by a dealer. The check engine came on last night and I-??m taking it to a Nissan dealer tomorrow. There has not been any other signs except the car had been juddering for the past couple weeks

There was a warning sign for the front lights like something was blocking it or something I honestly don't know but I brought it to enterprise attention and they told me don't worry about it. Then later I was in a wreck my car made no warning sign nor did the air bags deploy
The chrome foil on the interior door handle is peeling off slightly at the top. The edge of the foil is thin and sharp. While the vehicle was parked, I cut my finger while opening the door handle on the edge of the peeling foil.
Going at a speed of 65 mph+ the transmission or what ever it seems to be cutting in and out, I have to either lay off the gas or pullover and let it sit for a bit for it to stop acting up and it'll stop for a while and it acts back up again, I haven't had the car for a year yet, there were a few time I almost got hit and swerved off the road because of it I usually have the kids with me and the last thing I need is to have something happen to them or me I asked what can be done about and pretty much was told that it was my problem I see many complaints pertaining to this issue, is it gonna take a death for something to be done, im quite disappointed about this and on top of this there is 2 recall for this type of vehicle what can be done about this?!
While driving at night, going to the movies, it was a windy night, some obstruction, something small, nicked the front plastic bumper. there was no warning from the AEB. After that happen, the alert AEB light popped up and it's still on. Nothing was broken on the veh. As a matter of fact, there is no damage or nothing to the veh. Just that nick. Bought the car brand new with about 20 miles on it. This happen about two months after. Took it to the dealer where I bought it and told me they don't cover it. It would cost me $1200 dollars out of my pocket to fix it. Also, there was no other vehicles involved for that matter. So, what is the use of buying the extended warranty if when the time comes to use it, it's not covered?
Bought 2019 Nissan Sentra for our daughter. As she was driving on the 405 N and had to brake on the freeway during high traffic time, the warning malfunction light comes on and 3 instrument cluster light comes on: Aeb, front collision, and warning light. Took it to Nissan, they diagnose 2 codes that comes up in the tsb, dtc C1A16 (radar blocked) and dtc C1A12 (laser beam off-center) stating that it is a safety issue but I still had to pay diagnosis and the part and labor to fix it.
The display screen for heat/air conditioning and airflow controls will randomly shut off. The temperature and airflow controls will still work even when the screen is off. I will have the heat set to 70 but it feels like I pressed the air conditioning button ( ihave not and checked by pressing the air conditioning button). While other times, I will have the air temperature set to 62 and it feels like I've turned it up to 85 degrees.
I saw that the 2019 Nissan Sentra sv had a recall for the back up camera and today my back up camera stopped working and when I go to setting it doesn't give me the option to turn it back on.
Our 2019 Sentra won't start and we ended up buying a battery and it still won't start. From the research I've done looks like a breaking sensor. Due to the. Real lights not lighting up at all. Seems to be a reoccurring thing for Sentra. This is a safety issue and potential lawsuit due to the car turning off on the road.
The radio will randomly come on for a second when the car is off. I have went out to get something out of the trunk & this has happened & I have also went out to leave & when I walk outside the radio in the car is playing when the car has not been driven since the prior day. I am concerned about this issue draining the car battery. This is random & has happened more than a dozen times.
Brand new Nissan with less than 11K miles and been having nonstop issues with starting the car. There's been multiple occasions where the brake becomes very stiff and hard even though the car haven't sat for long. I've brought it to the dealership and called several roadside assistance and still have no solution to fix it. I've seen and read hundreds of forums online and decided to change my brake switch and I'm still having the same problem.
