2006 Nissan Sentra Fuel system Problems

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

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN SENTRA S 1.8 L. I HAD THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR REPLACED A MONTH AGO DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE LOSING POWER. IT HAPPENS MOSTLY AFTER THE ENGINE HAS REACHED A CERTAIN LEVEL OF HEAT. MY ISSUE RETURNED ONLY A FEW DAYS LATER AFTER THE REPLACEMENT. IT WILL COME CLOSE TO SHUTTING OFF SITTING AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. IT WILL ALSO LOSE ACCELERATION OVER 3000 RPM. IT WILL STOP RUNNING IF LEFT IN IDLE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I NOTICED A SIMILAR RECALL ON THE 2.5L VERSION OF THE SAME VEHICLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO SEE IF IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL AND THEY REFUSED TO COVER IT. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND CPS MANY TIMES TO NO AVAIL. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE IN THIS CAR THAT COULD EASILY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL THAT AFFECTS THE SIMILAR 2.5L VERSION OF THE MODEL. MY VEHICLE IS AT 139,890 MILES. IT HAS HAD THE SENSOR REPLACED AT AROUND 75,000 MILES AND AROUND 100,000 MILES.

THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINT IS CONCERNING NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 07V527000 AND #06V223000 BOTH OF THESE RECALLS DEAL WITH THE AUTOMOBILE I OWN, A 2006 NISSAN SENTRA, WHICH I PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN MAY 2006. I HAVE BEEN HAVING MAJOR ISSUES OUT OF THE CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT SENSORS IN THE VEHICLE AND OIL INTAKE OVER THE LAST 18 MONTHS. THE CAR WOULD DIE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND BECAME VERY HARD TO START AS WELL AS THE OIL INTAKE BECAME EXCESSIVE. AFTER 3 VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AS 3 VISITS TO LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOPS WITH ONLY TEMPORARY FIXES, I WAS AT LAST INFORMED AROUND MID DECEMBER 2012 BY ONE OF THE MECHANICS AT THE LOCAL SHOP THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON SIMILAR VEHICLES. I LOOKED THE INFORMATION UP AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2006 AND 2007 ON 2006 NISSAN SENTRAS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH NORTH AMERICAN NISSAN I LEARNED THAT THE RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND MY CAR, WHILE BEING THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AS THE VEHICLES RECALLED, WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I SPOKE WITH A REGIONAL MANAGER OFF AND ON FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WHO INFORMED ME IN THE END THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I EVEN HAD A DIAGNOSTIC RAN AT THE NORTH LITTLE ROCK NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON DECEMBER 21, 2012 THAT STATES "CRANKSHAFT, CAMSHAFT SENSORS MALFUNCTIONING BUT IN GOOD CONDITION, OIL EXTREMELY LOW(WHICH I JUST HAD IT CHANGED A FEW MONTHS AGO), AND POSSIBLE ECM PROBLEM...ALL THINGS STATED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS SPECIFIC AUTOMOBILE REGARDLESS OF VIN NUMBER. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT IS ON THEN REALIZED THAT I WAS HAVING PROBLEM GETTING FUEL INTO GAS TANK. ONCE OPENING THE GAS CAP A GUSH OF GAS FUMES COMES OUT. CAN NOT GET GAS IN TANK WITH OUT GAS PUMP CUTTING OFF ALL THE TIME. IT TAKES FOR EVER TO GET GAS INTO TANK. VEHICLE TAKEN TO NISSAN DEALER THEY TOLD ME IT WAS GAS TANK AND THAT A SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED ON ANOTHER MODEL A RECALL WAS DONE ON THAT MODEL NOT ON MY VEHICLE MODEL. THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY 100.00 FOR NEW GAS TANK. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THE RUSH OF GAS FUME PRESSURE THAT RUSHES OUT WHEN FUEL CAP IS OPEN TO REFUEL VEHICLE. DEALER STATES THAT FUEL TANK SENSOR IS CAUSING PROBLEM. *TR

OUR 2006 NISSAN SENTRA SPILLS GAS OUT THE FILLER HOLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REFILL. IT HAS COME GUSHING OUT SPRAYING ME AND CREATING A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WITH FUEL ON MYSELF AND SPILLED AT THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE LEARNED IT IS NOT AN UNUSUAL PROBLEM, BUT ONE THAT I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

AFTER DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN SENTRA 1.8, WHEN YOU TRY TO RESTART IT WITHIN A COUPLE HOURS IT IS VERY HARD TO START AND IT IS GETTING MORE DIFFICULT TO START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. THE PROBLEM GOT BETTER BUT NOW IT HAS RETURNED. NISSAN AND THE DEALER ARE ACTING AS THOUGH THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM BE THERE ARE NUMEROUS CASES REPORTED ON THE INTERNET CONCERNING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARE ME $99 TO RUN A TEST BUT I AM SURE THEY ALREADY KNOW, IF NOT THEY NEED TO CHECK THE INTERNET. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN 2006 SENTRA 1.8. WHEN REFUELING, GAS POURS BACK OUT OF THE GAS TANK, EVEN WHEN ON EMPTY. NISSAN HAS PUBLISHED A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT A VENT CONTROL VALVE REPLACEMENT (USING A NEW STYLE VENT CONTROL VALVE). I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THE PARTS & LABOR WILL TOTAL APPROXIMATELY $350 FOR A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS THIS; ANY SPARK WOULD SURELY IGNITE THE DRIVER AND PROBABLY AUTO; THEY ARE UNWILLING TO SEND ME THE PART AT THIS POINT & I STILL CAN'T USE THE VEHICLE- THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS, THE PRESSURE IN THE GAS TANK FORCED FUEL OUT OF THE TANK AND CAUSED GASOLINE TO LEAK OUT. WHENEVER THE CONTACT WOULD PLACE FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE, THE GAS PUMP WOULD AUTOMATICALLY STOP INDICATING THAT THE TANK WAS FULL, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NEARLY EMPTY. HE THEN BEGAN TO NOTICE LEAKS ON HIS DRIVEWAY AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. HE WAS INFORMED THAT A NEW GAS TANK AND FUEL FILTER WERE NEEDED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT THE DEALER. THEY COVERED HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE FAILURE IS IDENTICAL TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V269000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE) FOR AN EARLIER MODEL OF THE SAME VEHICLE; HOWEVER, HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 131,000.
