What 229 owners told NHTSA about the 2017 Nissan Sentra Turbo

MY 2017 NISSAN SENTRA WITH 37,000 MILES WILL NOT START. I HAVE THE KEYLESS IGNITION AND WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR I KEEP GETTING A MESSAGE TO PRESS THE BRAKES. I HAVE THE BRAKE PEDDLE PRESSED BUT CAR DOES NOT REGISTER THAT. I WORRY THAT THE BRAKES ARE GOING TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING. IF I KEEP PRESSING THE PEDDLE EVENTUALLY THE CAR WILL START. THIS HAS BEEN ON-GOING FOR THE PAST 3-4 WEEKS.

TAKATA RECALL . I HAVE A COMPLAINT ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION. MY TRANSMISSION WAS SERVICED BACK IN OCTOBER, NOT EVEN A YEAR AGO AND IT BEGIN ACTING UP AGAIN BACK IN AUGUST WHILE DRIVING AND I'VE SEEN THE LAWSUITS AND RECALLS ON IT. AND NISSAN WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO STAY UNDER THE WARRANTY OR EXTEND IT. SO I DONT MIND PULLING IN THE LEMON LAW FIRM.

TAMARA RECALL: MY CAR HAS THE PUSH BUTTON START AND I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED IT WITH 50,000 MILES ON IT. IT USED TO ONLY HAPPEN EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND AS OF YESTERDAY IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I TRY TO TURN ON MY CAR. I PUSH THE BRAKE AND PUSH THE BUTTON AND EVERYTHING WILL LIGHT UP BUT THE CAR WON'T TURN ON. THEN THE PUSH BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND PUSH START BUTTON COMES ON AND I TRY IT AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE BRAKE IS REALLY HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO PUSH IT IN FAR ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY START IT. AFTER CONTINUOUSLY PUSHING THE BRAKE AND THIS BUTTON AND DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND JIGGLING THE BRAKE FOR LIKE 10 MINUTES I MIGHT FINALLY GET IT TO COME ON IF I'M LUCKY. I'VE SEEN ONLINE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE BUT NOTHING TELLS ME HOW I CAN GO ABOUT FIXING IT.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN ANOTHER CAR STRUCK THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR BUMPER. THE ENTIRE QUARTER PANEL WAS CAVED IN AND THE BUMPER ALMOST KNOCKED OFF, THE TAIL LIGHT SHATTERED AS WELL. THE ESTIMATED DAMAGE IS OVER 3500.00. THIS SEEMS HIGHLY UNSAFE AS THE CAR IS LITERALLY PLASTIC, WE HAD KNOW WARNING NOR INFORMED THE CAR WAS SO EASILY DAMAGED AND COULD POTENTIALLY TAKE A LIFE OR INJURE A PERSON SEVERELY. SINCE THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN THE DAMAGE OCCURRED AND IT WAS DONE BY A CAR BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED WE FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS CAR NOW AND WANT NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OR TRADE OUR CAR FOR A STABLE CAR NOT A DEATH TRAP. WE LIVE IN UTAH AND PEOPLE DRIVE LIKE PSYCHOS.
