HI I HAVE 3 ISSUES WITH MY CAR, IT'S A 2014 NISSAN CENTRA, THE FIRST ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION IT'S REALLY BAD I HAVE ALREADY TOO IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AN SAID THEY FIXED THE ISSUE BUT IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING, WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT WANTS TO HESITATE TAKING OFF, IT SPITTING AND JERKS AND THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WANT TO CHANGE GEARS, I HAVE A AUTOMATIC BUT IT ACTS LIKE A STRAIGHT SHIFT SO WHEN IT HESITATES I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS NOR TO GET IT TO GO BUT IF YOU MASH THE GAS TO HARD IT WILL TAKE OFF FAST AFTER IT SPITS, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, I HAVE ALMOST SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF A FEW VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE TRIED TO PULL OUT FROM A SIDE ROAD AND A CAR WOULD BE COMING AN I KNOW I HAVE TIME TO GET OUT BUT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WANTS TO ACT CRAZY AN IT STARTS HESITATING TO GO, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES. THAT'S NOT ALL MY OTHER ISSUE IS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER, THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAS WENT OUT IN THE LAST YEAR, I WENT AND HAD IT SERVICED AN THEY SAID IT WAS THE AIR COMPRESSOR, I TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS AND THE GUY THAT LOOKED AT IT HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAS HAD 47 NISSAN CENTRAS IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS TO BE SERVICED FOR THE SAME REASONS, WELL ONE DAY THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS FINE BUT THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO TURN IT ON AND IT IS BLOWING NOTHING BUT HOT AIR SO HE CHECKED IT AND HE SAID THE COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AGAIN!! THE OTHER ISSUE IS YESTERDAY I WENT TO GET DINNER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AND MY CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 40,000 MILES ON IT YET, I REALLY HOPE WRITING TO YOU ABOUT THESE THINGS GOING WRONG WILL OPEN THE NISSAN COMPANY'S EYES BEFORE SOMEONE ACTUALLY GET KILLED DRIVING ONE OF THEIR CARS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! FOR TAKING THE TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY TO READ THIS. AND I HOPE YOU CAN GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THESE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT, ALL THESE PROBLEMS IN 3 WEEKS.

ALL MY SYMPTOMS LEAD TOTHE ACTUAL LOGIC REASON CONSIDERING I SOEND MOST MY DAYS IN MY CAR BECAUSE OF ALL THE APPOIINTMENTS I HAVE THAT WAS CAUSE BY THIS LEMON OF A CAR I WAS SOLD NOT ONLY WAS I INHALING IT MY BABIES 4 AND 2 AND MY 11 WEEK OLD FETUS GROWING INSIDE ME WAS ALSO IVE HAD TO FIX THE BRAKE CALIPER 3 TIMES ON TOP OF THIS NEW FUEL PROBLEM IN THIS CAR OH NOT TO MENTION THAT I ALREADY REPLACED A TRANSMISSION IN 2016 MIND YOU MY CAR IS A 2014 NEW I DROVE IT WITH ZERO MILES ON DEC 2014 LIKE LESS THEN A MONTH LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND MY STRUT NEEDED REPLACEMENT I HAVE OVER 75 PAGES OF MAINTANCE REPORTS AND REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE I STILL OWE ON A CAR THATS POTENTIONALY CUSE ME AND MY FAMILY LONG TERM MEDICAL PROBLEMS ON TOL OF THE FINANCIAL HOLE IT PUT US IN I WAS ON THE STREET THE TIMES THE BRAKE CALIPER BROKE AND THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE STRUT STARTED CLICKING
THE AIR SENSOR ATTACHED TO THE AIR FILTER SYSTEM, CAUSES ME LOOSE MASS AMOUNTS OF FUEL COST $200 AND FOR KNOW I CAN RESTART IT TO GET IT TO WORK RIGHT BUT IT HAPPENS LOTS OF TIMES AT ANY SPEED ELECTRICAL IS PART OF THE SENSOR. WINDSHIELD WAS NEVER SEALED RIGHT ON TOP OF IT LEAKS CONSTANTLY AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION SOUNDS LIKE A BOMB HITS WHEN HITTING ANY SIZE BUMP BIGGER THAN A SOFTBALL SIZE CHECKED IT BEST I COULD PLUS MECHANIC AND NO KNOWN REASON SEEN
WHEN PULLING FORWARD OR REVERSE A VERY LOUD BANGING AS IF COIL SPRINGS ARE LOOSE AND HITTING METAL ON METAL. DURING NORMAL DRIVING SOUND DISAPPEARS.
FIRST ISSUE HAPPENED COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT ON 12/27/2014 PURCHASED NEW ONLY 18 MILES ON IT ON 5/10/15 I TOOK IT IN FOR MAINTENANCE BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS MAKING A WIERD CLICKING NOISE WHEN I WOULD STOP OR TURN. SECOND ISSUE NOW IS THE TRANSMISSION JERKING AS IF SLIPPING RUNNING OUT OF GAS MY CAR IS STILL IN NEW.CONDITION IS BARELY 2 YEARS OLD IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD ALL THESE ISSUES MY CAR WAS IN MOTION WGEN IT BEGAN TO STALL ON AN INTERSECTION IT WAS VERY DARK AND DANGEROUS ON RHEIR MULTIPOINT INSPECTION THEY STATED MY FLUID LEVELS WERE GOOD BUT MY TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS NOT.IT TURNED OUT TO BE EMPTY
CAR WAS PURCHASED ON MARCH,2014, WE HAVE REPLACED THE ALL 4 TIRES ALREADY, BEARING AND STRUT NEEDED TO REPLACED, THE BATTERY DIED, WHICH WAS REPLACED ON TUESDAY APRIL 19TH, 2016, BY PEPBOYS, BECAUSE NISSAN DID NOT COVER IT. WE HAVE RADIO PROBLEM. SOMETIMES THE CAR DOES NOT PICK UP THE KEY AND DOES NOT START. SOMETIMES THE INDICATIONS ON THE DASH BOARD SUCH AS MILEAGE, GAS MILEAGE GOES BLANK . ALSO MY RADIO STOPS AND THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM DOES NOT START. RADIO HAS BEEN FIXED 2 TIMES ALREADY. THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS, BECAUSE EVEN WITH A NEW BATTERY THAT IS 2 DAYS OLD, THE CAR DOES NOT START SOMETIMES. ALSO COURTESY NISSAN IN RICHARDSON TEXAS REFUSED TO HELP US WITH ANY OF THIS, EVEN THOUGH WE BOUGHT EXTENDED 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. CAR HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT NOW. AT THE TIME THESE PROBLEMS STARTED IT HAS 36,000 MILES. I ALSO FOUND INFORMATION ONLINE, THAT IS THIS CAR IS RECALLED, HOWEVER WHEN I CALL NISSAN THEY SAID IT WAS NOT. I HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD AND IF THIS CAR IS UNSAFE, NISSAN SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.
I have had 2 rebuilt transmission and a manifold replacement and my vehicle still does not run at 100%
RIGHT AFTER BUYING MY SENTRA I NOTICED CREEKING EVERYTIME I WOULD TURN THEN TOOK IT IN AND THEY REPLACED THE STRUTS. IT STILL CREEKED AFTER THEY REPLACED THE STRUTS SO THEY ADDED RUBBER RINGS IT HELPED FOR A FEW DAYS BUT ITS STILL CREEKING BUT EVERY SO OFTEN. 2 ND MY CAR PULSES WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND WHEN I RELEASE THE BREAK AS WELL. 3RD THE IS A WHISLING NOISE THAT GETS LOUDER THE FASTER I GO AND IF ITS WINDY ITS EVEN LOUDER, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE. MY CAR ALSO SHAKES ROUGHLY TIME TO TIME. THE DEALER IS NOW SAYING THEY CANT HEAR ANYTHING THEREFOR WILL NOT FIX ANY OF THESE ISSUES. I CALLED NISSAN USA AND OPENED A CASE SHE SAID THE SAME THING, IF THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE THEY WONT FIX IT, THEN I WAS TOLD TO BY REP TO TRADE IT IN IF I DONT LIKE IT. *TR
