2014 Nissan Sentra Brakes Problems

The tail light on the drivers rear has condensation. Therefore, my brake lights flicker. When putting the parking lights/headlights on, the power to the gas pedal is cut. RPMs go down and the car simply does not have power to accelerate.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while driving 35-65 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle was slow to respond and to stop. The brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard. The contact stated that the engine, traction control, and ABS warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same local dealer where it was diagnosed, and it was determined that the oxygen sensor, rotors, and brake pads needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. While driving, the vehicle started to stall. The brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle was slow to respond. The manufacturer was contacted and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

Daughter described pushing break to the bottom /or floor boards while the car slowly began to slow. Yes, the vehicle is currently available for inspection. An impact occurred to daughter which caused bruising and duress. Another vehicle was struck. No, the problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service ctr. No. None that my daughter reported. I had driven the vehicle a few days prior and noticed nothing unusual upon breaking.

WHEN I TURN ON MY HEADLIGHTS MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON. ABS LIGHT ON DASH STAYS SOLID. WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE COME CAR LOSES POWER.

I AM OWNER OF A 2014 NISSAN CENTRA. I STARTED GETTING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. I NOTOCED THAT WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKES, THE PETALS GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. MY CAR ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES. I TOOK IT FOR AN INSPECTION TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER TWICE AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS KIND OF PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS ANYTIME, EITHER WITH THE CAR ON, IN MOTION OR NOT IN MOTION.

ON 7 OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST MONTH ALL 4 BRAKES LOCK UP ON THE CAR AFTER 20-30 MINUTES OF WARNING UP IN NORMAL TRAFFIC. AFTER A PERIOD OF 2 TO 4 HOURS LEAVING THE CAR PARKED AND OFF, THE BRAKES RIGHT THEMSELF. THE NISSAN DEALER CHARGED ME $150 AND SAID THEY CAN NOT FIGURE IT OUT.

BREAKS PEDAL TRAVELING TO FLOOR AND CAR IS NOT STOPPING. HAVE REPLACED BREAK PADS, CALIPERS, ROTORS AND STILL PROBLEM.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF. I'VE HAD THE SENSOR REPLACED ONCE FOR OVER $350.00 TWO YEARS AGO. HOWEVER, NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS REAPPEARED AND WENT OFF TWICE IN THE PAST 30 DAY. I'VE KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE SINCE MY INITIAL PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. FIRESTONE ASKED ME TO CHECK WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS TO FIND OUT IF THE MASS AIR FLOW IS COVERED UNDER SOME SORT OF WARRANTY BEFORE I PAY THEM TO PERFORM ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY SEE THIS ISSUE OCCURRING IN MANY NISSANS THEY'VE PERFORMED ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, HE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WEST SIDE NISSAN (1729 CASSAT AVE, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32210), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THOROUGHBRED NISSAN (5163 E 22ND ST, TUCSON AZ), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,900.

SQUEAKY BRAKES. *TR

EXTRA BRAKING REQUIRED TO COME TO A STOP - THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE BUT SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE REPORTED FOR THE 2013 VERSA. THE BRAKING REQUIRED MOST TIMES TO COME TO A STOP FROM A UNIFORM SPEED CAN VARY AT TIMES SO THAT SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EFFORT TO STOP THE VEHICLE IS NEEDED. EXAMPLE, ON MY NEIGHBOURHOOD STREET, APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN AT 25MPH, NORMALLY VERY LITTLE BRAKING NEEDS TO BE APPLIED. AT TIMES, WE HAVE NOTICED THAT A LOT MORE EFFORT IS NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE EVEN AT SUCH A LOW SPEED. THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE 2 MONTHS SINCE WE'VE BOUGHT THE CAR AND WOULD LEAD TO A CRASH IF THE BRAKING SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND IN A UNIFORM WAY.

BRAKES ARE VERY WEAK FOR BEING A LIGHT WEIGHT VEHICLE. STOPPING POWER IS VERY UNDERWHELMING. COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP EVEN AFTER CRUISING SPEEDS MAKES ME FEEL ANXIOUS...MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 10,066 MILES ON THE ODOMETER BUT THE BRAKING POWER FEELS VERY UNDERWHELMING FOR A FAIRLY NEW LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT SWITCHED LANES TO AVOID STRIKING THE PRECEDING VEHICLE AND WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, WHICH PUSHED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP AFTER ONE MONTH AND DRIVEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

BRAKES MADE HORRIBLE GROANING NOISE AS I PUSHED DOWN ON THE PEDAL. VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP IN AN ADEQUATE MANNER, THUS PROPELLING ME INTO THE ROAD WHERE I WAS HIT BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED. THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A CEMENT WALL. THE DRIVER DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,900.

THE REAR BRAKES STARTED TO MAKE GRINDING SOUND ONLY GOING 5MPH WITHOUT APPLYING ANY BRAKES. THE NOISE WAS VERY LOUD SO WE TOOK IT TO A CAR SHOP IMMEDIATELY FOR THEM TO INSPECT AND THEY FOUND THAT THE WHOLE DRIVER SIDE REAR DRUM BRAKES HAVE COMPLETELY CAME APART AS THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS CLOSE TO HAPPENING TO. THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS WOULD HAPPEN. WE THEN TOOK CAR TO NISSAN DEALER FOR THEM TO INSPECT AND FOR WARRANTY POSSIBILITIES AND THEY CAME BACK SAYING THIS IS. NOT COVERED AS THEY SAY THIS IS. OT A DEFECT AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY CLAIMS REGARDING THIS KIND OF ISSUE AND DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE CAR WAS DRIVING WITH E BRAKE ON BUT OUR MPG HASN'T CHANGED IN ANYWAY. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING ESPECIALLY FOR LESS THAN 1 YR OLD CAR.

TOOK NEW 2014 NISSAN SENTRA IN 2TIMES TO TRI CITIES NISSAN TO BE LOOKED AT AND FIXED WEEK AFTER GOT IT WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE FRONT END SHAKES REAL BAD LIKE TIRES ARE FALLING OFF. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE FRONT END TO SHAKE I ALSO INFORMED THE BRAKES WOULD BE HARD THEN TO THE FLOOR THEY SAID OH ITS FINE. SO I TOOK IT TO THE BRISTOL OFFICE THEY SAID OH NOT GOOD THIS WAS ON FRI SAID BRING IT TO USE TUE WE WILL BRAKE IT DOWN FIND THE PROBLEM WELL AFTER LEAVING DEALERSHIP ON MY WAY TO WORK EVERYONE IN FRONT IF ME LOCKS UP THEIR BREAKS BUT GUESS WHAT I GOT TO DO HIT THE BACK OF A TRUCK AT 37 MILES AN HR. CUZ MY BREAKS DID NOTING WHEN I PRESSED THEM SO THAT GAVE ME A 100 DOLLARS TICKET FOR FOLLOWING TO CLOSE WHEN I REALLY WASN'T I JUST DIDN'T HAVE ANY BREAKS WHICH I ASKED THEM TO CHECK OUT AT NISSAN AND DOESN'T. JUST SAID THEY DID. LIST MY JOB DYE TO MISSING WORK. TWO MINUTES WITHOUT A CAR IM STILL HAVING TO PAY FOR ALL THE MONEY IT COST ME TO GET A RIDE. I COULD OF KILLED SOMEONE OR MYSELF AND CHILDREN. WHAT HAPPENS IF ITS NOT 38 NEXT TIME. IS SORRY GONA BE GOOD ENOUGH IF SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR HURT JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN'T WANT TO DO THEIR JOB. NOW MY INSURANCE WENT UP I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE WRECK WHEN I DID EVERYTHING POSSIBLE BY GUIDELINES OF WARRANTY BY NISSAN. WHEN IT FINALLY GETS OUT IF SHOP NISSAN IS STILL RESPONSIBLE. AND WITHOUT A JOB OR WAY TO WORK HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PAY EVERYTHING I WORKED HARD TO VET N TAKE CARE OF MY KIDS NOW IM STUCK AND LISTING EVERYTHING BECAUSE TRI CITY NISSAN FAILED TO DO THEIR JOB HOW IS THAT RIGHT. THE ONLY THING GOOD OUT OF ALL THIS WAS NO ONE GOT. KILLED OR HURT. *TR

MY BRAKES GO TO THE FLOOR RANDOMLY, SEEMS TO BE FROM PARK TO REVERSE SO FAR. HAVE TO PUMP THEM BACK UP. THE SENTRA HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. AS REPORTED TO THIS AGENCY BACK IN AUGUST 2014, I CONTACTED NISSAN CORP. WHO DID NOTHING. THE SECOND VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP (OCTOBER 2014) THEY REPLACED THE REAR MASTER CYLINDERS WHICH SEEMED TO WORK UP UNTIL NOW , TOOK VEHICLE BACK IN DECEMBER 2014 AND THEY BLED THE BRAKES, BUT ITS DOING IT AGAIN, AND ON DECEMBER 24TH, WHILE AT A LOCAL BANK DRIVETHRU LANE, STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND NOTHING CAUSING ME TO STRIKE THE CEMENT ABUTMENT AND DAMAGE THE HUBCAP (WHICH THE DEALER REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE). THEN ON DECEMBER 31ST, NEW YEARS EVE, WHILE AT A LOCAL STORE, WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE, HAD NO BRAKES AGAIN, AND HAD TO PUMP THEM UP. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW, AND WILL BE CALLING DEALER AGAIN, AND CONTACTING NISSAN CORP. IT IS LEASED, AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET RID OF IT NOW BEFORE AN INJURY OCCURS. MAYBE I CAN GET A 2015. THIS IS COMPLAINT NUMBER 2 ON THIS WEBSITE.FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *JS
