This is the third (3) time it happen, no breakes going down my steep driveway. i live in a neighaborhood with many hills and it has come to my attention the brakes do not function properly going down a steep hill. my speed was no more than 4mph when brake failure. *tr
Traveling northbound on hwy 5 . a truck veered into the lane and hit the car head on. severe damage yet the air bags did not deploy. thankfully my daughter had on her seat beat. i just brought this car on nov 23, 2013. *tr
The windshield spray does not spray cleaning fluid on the windshield. it hits the bottom of the wiper. i have taken it to the selling dealer, nissan of chesapeake. i have been told that people complain about it all of the time and that it was the number one complaint on this model and it cannot be adjusted. very dangerous if trying to clean salt/road grime from the windshield. *tr
I got side-swiped on monday, and on wed a second person was in my blind spot while i was trying to merge to the right. i had my signal lights on, i looked several times each time. the only reason why i was able to avoid the 2nd accident was because i heard the person's brakes screech. there is no visibility out the back rear passenger window. the door comes up significantly higher (maybe 4-5 inches) than in the older sentra's. the mirror does not rotate far enough to the right in order to see in to the blind spot. no one riding in my blind spot can see my blinking signal light. overall this car is dangerous to drive. getting hit once and almost a second time was scary. this happened on a very busy highway (495). this car needs to be recalled. the flaws are inherent to the poor design of the vehicle. the door and mirrors are defective. these are design flaws which the consumer can't fix or maybe unaware of during a simple test drive. this car should not be driven on a highway. *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
