I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT. I SAW A CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND BEGAN TO BRAKE. AS I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS I NORMALLY DO, THE CAR WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN, SO I QUICKLY PRESSED IT FURTHER. FINALLY THE CAR HAD STOPPED AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I CAN CONSISTENTLY REPLICATE THIS ISSUE. I WILL CONTACT THE DEALER TODAY. *TR

TURNED THE CAR ON TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND STARTED BACKING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. EVERYTHING WAS FINE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SEEMED AS IF THE CAR TURNED OFF. AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO BRAKE AND IT WOULDN'T STOP. MY CAR WENT DOWN THE DRIVEWAY WHICH IS SITUATED ON A HILL AND HIT A UTILITY POLE. ONCE THE CAR BOUNCED OFF THE POLE IT CAME TO A STOP. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. IT TOOK ME 2 TIMES OF PUSHING THE START BUTTON BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START AGAIN. *TR

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2014 Nissan Sentra Sr Turbo verdict →
