2010 Nissan Sentra Problems

As I was driving on the freeway 65 mph my car completely lost all Speed and the more I accelerated the more my car decreased speed and eventually it shut itself off as i stopped the car as I pulled over there was no time to make it to a safe area for a safe pull over i was on a bridge calling for help from my insurance. The car did not want to start at first about 45 minutes later my car started again and was able to drive away. I had no idea what happened. Then I was driving almost to 3 months down the road it does it again on the freeway i was in slow lane driving 65 was able to exit quickly so there was no accident as I pulled over it did the same exact thing to me again and I waited till it was able to go again. for the third time it did it in parking lot as I was driving about 3 to 5mph when it happened last and it did not start again and i had to get it towed it's been needing a new computer module ecu. Because the computer when plugging in to obd2 diagnostic monitors it does not read or communicate with my car to diagnose any issues so monitor does engage

Driving and all the sudden went from 20mph to not even 5mph was able to limp it to a mechanic who said the trans cvt was most likely the problem didnt know nissans has that issue of a fail safe.. thankfully wasn't on a busy road going 80. Have also hurd knocking under the hood a couple times before were couldn't get that figured out.

The car stalls while the vehicle is in motion and has difficulty starting. The car stalls each time after it comes to a complete stop at lights or a stop sign makes it very dangerous

Involved in a motor vehicle t-bone collision. Driver airbag deployed but the panel did not fully come off. Bottom section of the airbag/horn cover came off. Top section did not separate from the rest of the wheel.

Driver airbag randomly went off while driving down the road. Did NOT hit anything, no potholes, or anything that could have set the airbag off. Additionally, the airbag was extremely hot when it went off and burned the drivers arms and face.

MY 2010 NISSAN SENTRA (WAS STATIONARY EACH TIME) FAILED TO START SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT BEGAN STARTING FOR A WEEK.THEN ONE MORNING IT FAILED TO START AGAIN. I CLEANED BOTH THE CABLE ENDS ON THE BATTERY AND EACH POST. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AND LASTED A FEW DAYS AND THE SAME PROBLEMS ARISES AGAIN. THIS TIME THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. PUT A CODE MACHINE ON THE CAR AND RECEIVED A CODE FOR CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR OR THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I HAVE DISCOVERED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO NOT GET GOOD CONNECTION AND CREATE FAILURE FOR THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER BUT THE NHTSA SYSTEM IS NOT RESPONDING. COULD PLEASE RESPOND TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE IS ON THE RECALL LIST?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH. ADDITIONALLY, THE HORN WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GARDENA NISSAN (1670 W REDONDO BEACH BLVD, GARDENA, CA 90247, (310) 532-1600) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURES WERE DUE TO THE CLOCKSPRING FAILURE.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND IT STARTED MAKING A HUMMING NOISE THEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP TO THE RIGHT AND IT DID THIS TWICE AND I ALMOST CRASHED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VICIOUSLY VIBRATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COIL SPRING AND SPARK PLUG FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

WHEN I TURN ON MY CAR AND BEGIN TO DRIVE IT, IT MAKES A REALLY LOUD NOISE. IT IS HARD FOR ME TO TURN EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT. ALSO WHEN I AM ACCELERATING IN THE FREEWAY OR IN THE STREET THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I ACCELERATE IT STAYS IN THE SAME SPEED. I TOOK IT IN TO PEPBOYS AUTO CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS AN INTERNAL NOISE AND THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL STEERING. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE CAR CAN LOCK WHILE IM DRIVING OR TURNING AND IN TURN CAN CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT , SO THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER SINCE PEPBOYS DOES NOT FIX ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I HOWEVER DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALER. WHILE DRIVING I WAS ALSO NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY ENOUGH WHEN GETTING INTO THE FREEWAY BECAUSE THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO GO ANY FASTER.

I PURCHASED A USED 2010 NISSAN SENTRA SL ON JULY 5, 2014 FROM A NISSAN DEALER. THE VERY NEXT DAY I DISCOVERED THAT WHEN I MOVED THE SUN VISOR DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN RAYS WHILE DRIVING, EACH TIME I MOVED THE VISOR DOWN OR UP IT HIT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I NEEDED TO READJUST THE MIRROR BEFORE IT WAS USEFUL AGAIN. WHEN THE SUN IS JUST ABOVE THE HORIZON IT IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SET THE VISOR TO BLOCK THE SUN RAYS FROM HITTING MY EYES WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE POSITIONING OF THE MIRROR IN RELATION TO THE VISOR. THIS FEELS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE MIRROR NEEDS TO BE RESET EVERY TIME THE VISOR IS MOVED UP OR DOWN. THESE SEEMS A MAJOR FACTORY INSTALLATION GLITCH. I COMPLAINED TO THE NISSAN SERVICE MANAGER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. HE SAID HE CHECKED OTHER 2010 NISSAN SENTRAS ON THEIR USED CAR LOT AND ALL OF THEM HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WHY HASN'T A FACTORY RECALL BEEN INITIATED FOR THIS ISSUE? THIS IS DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR SAFE DRIVING. *TR

THE FUSE FOR THE LOW BEAM 15 AMP THE DRIVER SIDE STARTED TO BLOW REPLACED ONE TIME, LIGHT WOULD WORK AFTER APPROX 2 DAYS BLEW UP AGAIN, REPLACED AND STARTED TO BURN A WIRE FROM THE WIRES UNDER THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD. I CANNOT PIN POINT WHERE THE WIRE IS BURNING AND NOW THE LIGHT IS VERY DIM AND HIGH BEAM IS NOT WORKING EITHER, BEFORE ONLY THE LOW BEAM WAS THE PROBLEM AND I'M AFRAID IT WILL CATCH FIRE. THE CAR DID NOT GET WET AS THE CAR WAS PARKED FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS AFTER THE FIRST FUSE REPLACEMENT. THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING AS I WAS REPLACING THE FUSE.

SUBJECT: DRIVERS ARE MISLED BY THE NEWER ILLUMINATED DASHBOARDS TO THINK THEIR HEADLIGHTS ARE ON SEVERAL TIMES, I DROVE DURING THE NIGHT AND I WAS MISLED BY THE BRIGHTLY LIT DASHBOARD INTO BELIEVING THAT MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. IN FACT, THEY WERE OFF. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHER DRIVERS REPORT WITH ALL THE NEWER CARS THAT MUST HAVE AN ILLUMINATED DASHBOARD DURING THE DAY. PLEASE SEE A DETAILED DESCRIPTION IN THIS ARTICLE: HTTP://JALOPNIK.COM/HOW-LED-DAYTIME-RUNNING-LIGHTS-AND-LCD-INSTRUMENTS-ARE-1782654483 ALSO SEE THE HUNDREDS OF USER COMMENTS ON THIS SUBJECT. WHAT IS NEEDED? NEW RULES ON HOW TO PREVENT DRIVERS DRIVING THEIR CARS DURING DARK WITH THE LIGHTS OFF. A STUDY IS NEEDED TO FIND THE RIGHT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUE NEW MANDATORY GUIDELINES TO VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND PREVENT MORE CARS TO BE MANUFACTURED WITH THIS FLAW. ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN IF CARS ARE HAVE THIER LIGHTS OFF DURING TH NIGHT.

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND WHEN STANDING IN IDLE ON A CITY STREET.

INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE. FILL THE TANK BUT ALWAYS SHOWS 2 POINT BELOW.10 MILES DECREASE THE 1 POINT OF GAUGE .VERY FRUSTRATING. I WANT THIS PROBLEM FIX BY NISSAN DEALER AT NO COST TO ME. I HEARD NISSAN SENTRA HAS THIS PROBLEM PLEASE HELP ME.I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.IT IS ABOUT MY FAMILY SAFETY. *TR

Airbag light came on a week ago. Have reset it several times and returns. When the Airbag light goes off the Seat Belt light comes on, and sometimes simultaneously.

CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME WHILE TEST DRIVING A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA. APPRX SPEED 25- 30 MPH. AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER. HOWEVER, WE WERE GREATLY AND PAINFULLY BRUISED IN ABDOMEN FROM LAP BELT..? NO SHOULDER SORENESS SO DO NOT BELIEVE SHOULDER HARNESS DEPLOYED AT ALL.

I WENT TO SERVICE CENTER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIX THESE. WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR SLOWLY UNDER 10 MPH, THERE IS NOISE FROM FRONT WHEELS EVERYDAY, IT IS LOUD. I CAN HEAR A CONTINUING SOUND WHEN I TURN MY CAR TO LEFT OR RIGHT ON ROAD. WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR ON LOCAL ROAD, THERE IS NOISE FROM GEAR-KNOB BUTTON(SHIFT-KNOB BUTTON). I FOUND MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE DOOR-LOCK WITH KEY. WHEN I LOCK THE FRONT DOOR, OTHER DOORS ARE NOT LOCK TOGETHER. BUT THE MANUAL DOESN'T SAY LIKE THAT. *TR

ON JULY 20, 2010, I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN I WAS REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FORCE OF THE CRASH WAS SUCH THAT THE REAR OF THE CAR I WAS DRIVING SUSTAINED SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS IN DAMAGE. THE FORCE ALSO, PROPELLED ME INTO THE CAR STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. THIS OTHER CAR SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THEIR BUMPER TO DISLODGE IT FROM ITS SUPPORTS AND THROW THEIR REAR WINDOW OFF TRACK. THERE IS NO PLACE IN THE REPAIR BILL THAT STATED THAT THE AIRBAG WAS RESET BECAUSE IT FAILED TO DEPLOY. GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE REAR CRUMPLE ZONE WAS DESTROYED, AND THE REAR QUARTER PANELS WERE REPLACED, THIS CAR IS RENTED BY BUDGET UNDER THE GUISE OF IT BEING SAFE. THE PAPERWORK I RECEIVED FROM BUDGET ALSO STATES THAT THE FEATURES OF THIS NISSAN SENTRA (2010) IS FRONT, REAR AND SIDE AIRBAGS. SINCE ALL OF THE REAR OF THE CAR WAS DESTROYED IT CAN BE SAFELY ASSUMED THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRIGGERED. IF BOTH FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR DEFINITELY FROM THE FORCE OF MY CAR BEING PROPELLED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. BUDGET RENTED THIS CAR AS BEING A "SAFE" CAR WITH THIS NISSAN SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHEN IT CLEARLY IS NOT. *TR

THE OPERATOR OF VEHICLE #1 WAS TRAVELING INBOUND ON RUTHERFORD AVE. WHEN SHE ADMITTED TO THE OFFICER "I WAS DISTRACTED ...WHILE I WAS DRIVING", AND RAN A RED LIGHT. SHE STRUCK VEHICLE #2, THEN LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND STRUCK VEHICLE #3 WHICH WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. NONE OF THE 3 VEHICLES' AIR BAGS DEPLOYED! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTAC STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, A LOUD NOISE EMITTED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DROVE TO A SAFE LOCATION AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE WHERE HE NOTICED THAT THE UNDER CARRIAGE RUBBER BODY MOUNTS WERE SEVERELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM WHOM INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE SERVICE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

INTERMITTENT AIRBAG LIGHT. PASSENGER SEAT LIGHT DOESN'T TURN ON WHEN SOMEONE SITS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING OR NOT. *TR

AFTER DRIVING APPROX. 50 MILES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 65-70 MPH AND EXITING TO A FULL STOP, ENGINE WOULD REV UP AS USUAL BUT ONLY MOVE 1 MPH. TRANSMISSION NOT FULLY ENGAGED. THIS PUTS ONE IN HARMS WAY WITH NO ABILITY TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. OCCURRED IN ALL GEARS. ONLY WAY TO GET BACK TO NORMAL WAS TO SHUT OFF ENGINE AND RESTART. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN A ROW ON SAME DAY (10/13/2010). DOES NOT HAPPEN IN NORMAL SUBURBAN DRIVING OR SINCE THAT DAY BECAUSE CAR NOT TAKEN ON HIGHWAY SINCE (OR BEFORE 10/13/2010). DEALER (LEITH NISSAN APEX NC) WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE OR REPAIR BECAUSE TECH ONLY DROVE CAR FOR 4 MILES ON 50 MILE PER HOUR SUBURBAN ROAD WITH SEVERAL STOPLIGHTS. *TR
