While supposedly "stopped" at a red light, i realized i was rolling forward with the brake depressed. i pressed the brake pedal to the floor and the car stopped. when i accelerated ever so slightly, the car bucked and jolted forward. i slowed to a stopped with barely there brakes, put the car in park and pumped up the brakes, raising the pedal. this seemed to temporarily help, but the pedal went to the floor again the next time attempted to stop. car is at the dealership now. i am awaiting their call. *tr

I only had my car for about 10 months. i keep my car updated with the maintenance. i drove to las vegas, nevada friday afternoon. my car was running great i get to las vegas nevada i here this loud grinding crinkly noise coming from my engine or transmission. i take it to planet nissan in las vegas nevada. they took forever to even take me as a customer. then they come out and say you are not eligible for a rental and your transmission went out. they proceeded to tell me that i will be responsible for the car as far as picking it up when its fixed. this is the worst experience i had with cars. this is the third time something bad happens to this car and its supposed to be brand new. i bought it with 32 miles on it. mind you all this was on a trip i took to vegas with my family. my two year old son was drained from this experience having to spend 6 hours at planet nissan. they even try selling me a another new sentra. *tr

Notices a creaking noise from passenger side rear brake at slow speed approx 3 weeks ago, intermittent. was driving on friday 11/22 and heard a loud thump, checked car and didn't see anything. driving about 1/2 hour later, head a loud thump and felt the car jerk. stopped, visual check of car tuned up nothing. continued to drive and then right rear brake started to squeak, which turned into a loud grinding noise. got the car to local nissan dealership, and upon inspection said that the rear brakes had failed and needed new drums and pads! 11k miles on drum rear brakes should not result in failure. covered under warranty, but nervous to drive thr car now. *tr
I took my car in for the third time about the rear brakes. at first there was a grinding noise. i was told something had gotten loose and that it was fixed. it wasn't, i took back a second time, i was told that they had to put some more lube on it. well that worked for a little bit. now i can't back up without the brakes squeaking like crazy, the grinding is back and now when i turn the wheel you hear a clunking noise. also the brake pads are already worn.... on an 8 month old car! i have emailed nissan about this and waiting for a reply. i am filing a report to the attorney general and nissan. if this is not fixed i plan to use this lemon law. i have all the noise recorded on video and kept all the records of when the car went in. the brakes wearing out this fast is ridiculous on a new car! if the brakes fail, i could get into an accident and then it's my fault. oh and as for the squeaking of the brakes, "it's a case by case issue." which mean it could take at least a month before it is repaired. but the dealership assured me that no other damage will be done.... then why are things getting worse! *tr

Ever since the vehicle was purchased i have experienced issues with the brakes, every time i come to a stop and press the brake after a few seconds the car starts moving and the brake pedal looses pressure and i have to push my foot further than normal, eventually my foot touches the floor of the vehicle and i can't push the brake any further, so i have to tap the gas and then re-engage the brake again. this is very dangerous if you are going downhill and come to a stop. i have taken my car numerous times, that it's getting to the point that its become an inconvenience to actually own the car, to the service department of the nissan i purchased (nissan of bergenfield in new jersey) and they have said nothing is wrong with the car, they looked at the brakes and even applied more pressure on the lines but still the issue persists. i don't understand how a company that values safety would allow their clients to be driving vehicles with this fault. i'm not sure what they are waiting for in order for them to realize that this is not safe by any means, specially for my family who i have to drive and pick up to and from work. i have also spoken with the dealership but have yet to come to a resolution. if you can please open an investigation regarding this matter. please contact me for any information you may need. *tr

Issue1: the occupant classification system (ocs) software incorrectly classify the passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult. this is happening when the vehicle is in motion or stationary. this life-threatening problem substantially impairs the use and value of my vehicle and also it creates a serious safety hazard. i have been harassed by the local dealer due to their repeated ineffective attempts to fix this issue. issue2: groaning sound from brakes when driving downhill. local dealer couldn't able to fix this issue.
I leased a 2013 nissan sentra from nissan 46, nj in march, 2013 and from july, i kept hearing a loud grinding noise from rear part of the car every time i pressed down on the brake pedal. *jb
I was driving back from el cajon, ca on the 52 when i was going down the hill i was hearing this loud grinding crackling noise from the rear brakes. the noise still to this day is getting louder and louder. i took my car to the nissan services to check it out. they had a mechanic drive with me to here the noise. when we were driving he said there was no noise. so the service adviser came to me tell me there's nothing they can do if the noise was not confirmed by the mechanic. so i call my boyfriend and tell him to explain the noise we've been hearing. they do another test drive and the mechanic confirms that there's noise in the rear brakes. i asked for a rental car. the adviser just said there's no way nissan's gonna pay for a rental because i feel unsafe. i mentioned to him that i don't feel safe driving the car because i basically go everywhere with my son in my car. he said he will order parts and get in contact with me when they come in. *tr
Driving as usual and applied the brakes approaching a red light and heard a loud grinding noise. it's a brand new car and had approximately 1,000 miles at that point in time. i had it looked at by the dealer and he has parts on order and i will return to have it fixed. i hope this is the end of this issue. however, i am greatly disappointed and stressed out by this event. i bought a nissan based upon their reputation and recommendations from friends. i think this is my first, last and only nissan ever. i had a 12 year old toyota camry that was more reliable than this. i hope an investigation into the brake issue is undertaken and quickly since it could turn into a dangerous and unfortunate situation for many. *tr
Bought car may 2013. in july 2013 heard noise when braking. took to nissan dealer service dept. told it was the rear wheel cylinder. said they needed to order the parts. awaiting call.
Grinding noise from rear brakes when stopping from slow speeds, i was told it was a part that can rust when sitting for a short period of time but would stop. problem still exist. going to take car in for another inspection 8/20 hoping for better results. *tr
Rear driver side brake as i am driving and apply brakes you can hear like a horrible sound like grinding noise you also can hear it if the car is at park and you go up and down on brake pedal i was at teddy's nissan dealer for first oil change told advisor he tells me to bring it back on monday morning that they only do oil changes on saturdays so i will be going monday morning so they can repair the problem will get back and let all knows how the do. *tr
Update on what herb gordon nissan found on the brake issue - the first time they were instructed to lube the brake cylinders as per a service bulletin. the noise was gone for a few days but started to occur again. the second time they changed the brake cylinders all together which has seemed to fix the grinding/crackling noise. the ac stopped working and was blowing hot air - they had to replace the entire ac compressor. so many issues in less than 5000 miles of driving. *tr
I purchased the vehicle from buena park nissan at the end of may and in mid-june/ early july i kept hearing a loud grinding noise every time i pressed down on the brake pedal. on july 15th i took the vehicle to the nissan dealership for an oil change and mentioned the noise to the representative. i was told that a part had been ordered and i would be contacted when it arrived. i have still not been contacted by the dealership. recently i experience the car move even though i have the brake petal firmly pressed down. *tr
I have also been experiencing the loud grinding noise from the rear brakes. i took the car in today for its first oil change and showed the technician the issue. i also have a problem with the a/c not cooling. there have been a couple of times while driving when the a/c starts to blow warm air for a long time and then randomly starts to cool again. hopefully the dealership can get it fixed without causing any additional grief! the car has been driven less than 5,000 miles! *tr
I purchased the vehicle in april. two months later i realized that when in drive when i set my foot on the brake i would hear a grinding noise in the back of the car. when i would put it in reverse the noise would not occur. it was always when i would hit the breaks until the car came to a complete stop. it would not make the noise when i hit the breaks suddenly. when i called nissan and brought it in for them i was told that it was a fluid problem. after 2 weeks the noise began again, now it has stopped and goes on and off. also i have noticed that the indicator for the passenger air bag will be off at times when there is an adult sitting in the seat. this also happens on and off. i have had it though, where the indicator has come on saying the air bag is off for 3 days in a row, having someone sitting in it. the third problem is that the windshield wiper fluid does not spray correctly. it pools at the bottom of the windshield and so it does not clean it correctly. finally the last problem is that i have noticed when i fill up the gas tank the amount of miles i get are different every time. i have a particular routine everyday and every weekend. at times it seems i have more gas than when i have filled it up before. when i have used the eco button at times, it seems that once in a while it will work the way it is supposed too. most of the time it seems that the car just guzzles gas more than usual. *tr

2013 nissan sentra only 5 months old with 7000 feel like a 20 year old car. every time i hit the brake to slow down, i hear squeaking noise and feel like the pads are grinding, i will have to take it to the dealer to have it checked out. oh and you can't lift you wiper blades because the hood is in the way. how the heck are you suppose to clean you windshield or replace wiper blades. a/c goes on when you change to defrost or recirculation and you have to manually disengage when changing modes. should have went with the corolla. *tr
This is a follow up on the safety complaint i previously filed on 6/2/2013, when my sentra 2013 suddenly had big grinding noise on the passenger rear wheel when i applied the brake pedal decelerating the car. after having the car towed to the local dealer, the dealer diagnostic and confirmed the rear brake broke apart inside the rear brake drum damaged brake shoe, brake self-adjusted assembly, anti-shoe rattle clip and pin. though nissan covered the repair, replacement parts, and towing cost, it still cost me one day off work and the car had to sit at the dealer couple days waiting for the replacement parts. i then looked up the internet and found the sentra 2013 rear brake part diagram (see link below). what really scare me is the new 'u' shape anti-shoe rattle springs / clips (instead of the traditional circle / washer shape ones typically found on most vehicles) that are used to lock the brake shoes in place with the anti-shoe rattle pins. these u-shape anti-rattle shoe springs might come off if the car running on bad roads often or big bumps over the time. i am really concerned about the safety on sentra 2013 rear brake and hoping someone could investigate to prevent future safety issues. ----- http://www.enissanparts.com/nissanparts/index.cfm?bodycolor=&trimcolor=&body=4s&engine=mra8de&area=cal&grade=s&trans=cvt&action=replacement&groupid=h§ionid=441&partcode=&jointvehid=17659&makeid=25&siteid=216803&illust_seq=01&partnumber=part+number&description=keyword. *tr
While applying the brake pedal decelerating the car, the car suddenly had a very loud grinding noise on the rear passenger wheel, like the brake rotor grinding against some metal parts that broke loose inside. after stopping the car inspecting passenger rear wheel and found nothing, i got back to the car slowly accelerating it. the loud grinding noise got worse and i felt the brake pedal kinda light (like not all 4 brakes are being applied). i suspect the brake shoes or components broke apart inside the brake drum of the rear wheel (passenger side). fortunately, i was at slow speed (20-30mph) and only one block away from home. will have it towed to the local nissan dealer to have it checked out as i only had this car for about 7-8 month from brand new. since this is an all-new design 2013 sentra, i am concern this is a flaw on the brake design that could cause extreme dangerous hazards on the road. though my car should be covered under manufacturer 36-month bumper to bumper warranty, i am strongly asking to have the rear brake system on the 2013 nissan sentra investigated and recalled / corrected if necessary. this would help not only protect my family, my investment, but also others from running into the same incident operating this particular model in the future. *tr
Every since i have had the 2013 nissan sentra the brakes make an extremely loud sound when applied. the dealer insists that nothing is wrong with them but, i beg to differ. the loud scrubbing sound when brakes are applied is not normal for any new car. i am highly disappointed. *tr
My 2013 nissan sentra with 142 miles already has problem with the service brakes. i was completely stopped at a traffic light. while waiting for the light to change i noticed that my car started to move forward. my first reaction was to press a little bit harder on the brake pedal, the car stopped, but a few seconds later the car started to move again. i kept pressing on the brake pedal a little bit harder every time it started to move, until the pedal reached the maximum travel, all the way to the bottom. even with the brake pedal pressed all the way to the bottom, the car kept on moving forward. at that moment i was inching away into the incoming traffic, so i had to pull the parking brake to stop the car from moving forward. this incident was very scary to say the least. now my car is at the dealer in the service department waiting for a new master cylinder. what i cannot understand is how such an important / critical system of a brand new car could fail in 4 days, and less than 150 miles. anyone else experienced anything like this? *tr
1st incident with our new 2013 nissan sentra occurred @ 247 mi., in our possession less than 1 week, going 50mph (2 children in car with me), car just shut off. dealer reset computer system. it has been down hill since, i took it in today for the 5th time since it was purchased 3.5 months ago (it now has 3700mi). repeated issues with rpm's running high anywhere between 2,000 & 4,000 or at an all most stop will flutter down to 0 like it's going to stall. crackling/rattling noises from the driverside dashboard. now also coming from the a-pillar (?). issues with speakers (static/crackling noises) had the same break and airbag light issues. there is now growling noises coming from front, car seems to "buck" around 2-4k rpm's. oh yeah my driver door handle is now falling apart. did i cover all the problems i have had with a $20+ brand new car???? i think so, but then again we haven't owned it all that long! i did open a claim with nissan consumer affairs when it was in on it's 3rd visit, i was denied a repurchase, but rest assured a nissan certified repair shop will fix any problems. waiting on dealership to decide if they can do anything?! next step attorney!!!!! *tr
Takata recall. when yu take off & it gets up in speed the car jerk. when you stop at a red light or stop sign & then go, it jerk like it's trying to take off. but it barely move & jerk pretty hard. it seem like the car transmission is not changing out. while the car is jerking when you take off. it's like the idles up & down. when you brake it sounds like you walking on squeaky hard wood floor. the airbag does not work at all.i
Funny, i have had my 2013 sentra to falhaber nissan 6 times for this same brake issue, air bag (there was a recall on it), and the a-pillar on the driver side keeps coming loose. to date i still have the grinding noise and brake issue along with the a-pillar coming loose which the air bag is located behind. i have been told it was in my trunk, my license plate vibrating and even stated to me they don't know what the problem is. i bought a brand new car, why lie to me? fix the problem or return my money is how i feel. my safety and others with me is too important. i have also experienced the decrease in acceleration thankfully, not while in traffic. i thought that was the cvt transmission. ben from falhaber stated to me a couple times along with others from nissan consumer affairs that no one else has reported this. again, another lie after reading all these posts. i have filed for the lemon law refund. *tr
I took my car to the dealership on 4/26/13 upon hearing a rubbing noise in the back when brakes are applied at 20 mph & lower speeds. first time dealership couldn't "heat" or find a problem. brought it back in on 5/10/13 for same problem. shop fireman verified noise. determined it was a rear wheel bearing. brought the car back to the service department on 6/4/13 for same problem . nissan said rear brakes needed more lube. problem continued after. on 9/6/13 took car back to dealership service department for same problems. nissan is now saying rear wheel cylinders should be replaced but that it is not a safety issue. waiting on parts to come in to fix problem.
Extremely loud increasing grinding rear drums brakes noise, when applying the brakes the local sale distributor dealer representative tell me that there is no solution for that yet. there may be a death risk concern because are the brakes of the car ........... *tr
When i am stopped at a light, the car seems to creep forward when brake pedal depressed. i need to continually apply more pressure and the pedal becomes spongy. also, i now notice that when stopped or going slow, engine fumes are coming from my air/heating vents. don't know if its exhaust or an oil leak somewhere. car only has 400 miles on it and i've had car since end of february 2013. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that the push button start feature failed to engage the engine. in addition, the brakes failed. the contact had to increase the braking distance in order to stop the vehicle. the contact also heard a loud metal grinding sound near the front passenger side. the vehicle was taken to the dealer on several occasions. the brake sensor was replaced, but the failure recurred. the push button start was not replaced. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 6,000.
The passengers seat air bag sensor does not recognize when there is someone sitting and will not activate. i took the car to service and the guy told me that maybe it was because i was too skinny and maybe the sensor did not recognize that there was someone is actually sitting in the passengers seat. it is very dangerous because in a car accident it will probably not work. the car also have an annoying noise each time i hit the breaks in the back right side of the car. it have been 3 months and 3 service visits and several calls to service, distributors, etc. and i have not received an answer on how or when they will fix the problem. they told me to keep using the car because it was not a safety issue, but the brakes have gone blank twice making me very nervous of using the car. still no answer from nissan. *tr
